Another old ass nikka catching feelingsYou sound like a Wack100 yes-man on Clubhouse
Says the nikka who got HIV

Plus if he does actually have AIDs,he made it to the Finals with it. Whats Ants excuse for not finishing the story?
The "shouldve been G.O.A.T",it took AIDs to stop him

Magic never played with peak Kareem.Outside of what, maybe a season or 2?Even their first title together, Cap got injured, and Magic had to save the day as a rook.Cap was twilighting during their time together.Playing with the GOAT team leader/facilitator was beneficial to an old dog leaving his prime.Are fukking serious, kareem won 5 mvps or 6 (magic rookie year) without magic, won a championship without magic not the other way around, but Kareem benefited more from magic
Make it make sense, yall post shyt just to post....

This is corny, magic johnson is the best point guard in basketball and the best passer of the basketball, there were tons of talented players, ant needs to be humble, KD and curry dont equal to Larry bird and magic johnson
This is all minutiae.
You're not stating a cotdamn thang here that's relevant to your assertion that the T'Wolves last season would've won a 'ship if you replaced Ant with the Kings iteration of Mitch. You're just reiterating the same empty ass hoops platitudes of Mitch was nice; Mitch had intangibles and skill that Ant doesn't; not too many 2s nicer than Mitch; Mitch played in a harder era; Mitch was better at everything.
I don't give a fukk about to what degree you [falsely] believe Mitch was better. It's inconsequential.
I want to know how you believe how him being better would've led the T'Wolves to a championship-run last season. The specifics that Mitch excelled in wouldn't have helped the T'Wolves get over their inhibitions and personnel issues. You can't just throw in what you perceive to be a better player than Ant and Abracadabra ~~ POOF!, out comes a ring from the smoke. They didn't have any reliable guard/wing scoring and shooting outside of Ant, they had to rely on KAT who has a trend of consistency that moonlights as shark teeth and they had to adjust in real-time to work out how to get over obstacles during their first real playoff run. Those were, by and large, the reasons why they couldn't get past the WCF last year. Not because the missing piece was replacing Ant with someone who you perceive to be better than him.
Mitch would've got eaten alive and had his bones turned to dust against that Celtics squad; Jrue, Tatum, Jaylen and DWhite would've had him pistol whipped, stripped and butt-naked with his ass walking back to Fort Lauderdale. We saw both Luka and Kyrie get turned upside down, inside out, against them in the Finals, and you wanna tell me Mitch, by himself, with no secondary perimeter help would beat them?
Mitch wasn't 2-3 inches taller, and Ant isn't undersized for a 2.
Ant is taller/bigger than Dumars, Hornacek, Dell, Alvin etc, all of whom had long, extensive careers, whose success ran parallel to their relative skillsets. In fact, Ant is bigger than the majority of 2s during the 90s as well, given his frame and the weight his body can hold. A good majority of 2s in the 90s were built like string beans, and not like Ant who ranges between 220-230lbs. The fact that you're projecting him to get injured during that time when nxggas built like Reggie had HOF careers is all the more reflective of how far from reality your argument is.
And that's before we tackle the most damning example to your argument of all - Allen Iverson.
You wanna tell me during a time when Mitch was in Sactown, where a considerably shorter and significantly smaller player (than Ant) ended up living a superstar life, that Ant, himself, wouldn't have materalized into anything because he lacked the height?
You literally said satellite in your previous post. Nxgga, I know what you were getting at. I was simply riffing off you using the word galaxy, because no Mitch I watched in this galaxy, remotely resembles the one you're talking about.
And I could especially not give a fukk about the handful of regular season games you watched of the Kings back then either, acting like you stumbled upon some undiscovered analysis about Mitch that nobody else was ever privvy to. That's why tape exists. That's why you can look back and see just how much of a charlatan nxggas like you actually are.
Nonpurposeful babbling word salad?
This is your gimmick, playa.
You made a proclamation of how replacing Ant with Mitch would've resulted in the T'Wolves winning a championship last season, and yet when I succinctly pointed out the flaws in this argument, detailing that their issues weren't ones that Mitch could resolve, you reply with nonpurposeful babbling word salad. At no point during your 500+ word diatribe did you explain how exactly Mitch would've won with the T'Wolves. Just a bunch of rabbling ass, babbling ass, word salad that has no purpose to the actual argument.
I haven't posted one cotdamn stat in this thread, or have even alluded to any type of stat.
You're tripping over your own laces before you even get out on the floor.
Now, are you going to stop embarrassing yourself and explain how Mitch would've won with Minny last season, or are you going to keep moving one spot further down the bench, so you don't have to get checked in, where everyone can see that your game doesn't align with your mouthpiece.
Why am I not surprised you're still playing dumb?
The negative shyt said about the era that Ant plays in, is reflective of him. Just like you can discern that when Ant didn't explicity mention players that were lesser than MJ, he's talking about them and their era. Since you wanna play stupid, show me the direct quotes where Ant is downplaying a specific former player's greatness? Point out quotes that Ant has mentioned specific players not being good.
Gon'head and let's see them.
You just posted three clips, with the opinions of Stephen A. Smith, Keyshawn Johnson, Skip and Chuck. Only 1 out of those 4 people is a hooper, and Chuck's opinion changes like the wind, purely because he's there to provide entertainment and not any actual hoops discourse or genuine praise for the sake of. The fact that you couldn't get examples of former players going out of their way to praise Ant tells me everything.
You just posted praise of Ant from non-hooping ass talking heads (who'd quickly change their opinions when/if he fails), and not former players - which is what this argument is all about.
Show me Ant directly talking about specific players not being good.
Stop the faking.
You would've held the same stance on the "foolishness" of his comments if he said he watched the games and came out with the same opinion. You gave yourself up earlier talking about respect. You were more than forthright egging on Cooper to shyt on Luka, but you're quick to clutch your pearls the moment a current player says anything that can be perceived as bad about the past.
I have to ask, are you aware of how much of a hypocrite you are where you encourage old heads to shyt on today's players, but don't like it when today's players give back the same energy?
What if Luka came out in response to Cooper and said, he wouldn't even make a NBA rotation today - would you say "Luka talk your shyt"?

All this bablin word salad and no real content to make your point.
Plus you so lacking in brain trust.
Plus have no wherewithal to the past for relevence
You either missed the game.
Then checked the box score.
Or you forgot.
Antman had a chance to be like Mike.
With all the resources.
You forgot antman failed to ramp a number one draft pick and the dopy?
Plus the actual higher skilled and pedigreed parts that completely trump Mitch in sactown.
We saw Mitch at run tmc be short a big to being almost untouchable. In a harder more physical league with no big. Yet by your goofie ass estimation.
hypothetically Mitch with the dpoy and a number one draft big would fail.
When Mitch is a way higher quality and proficient ball player than ai, kobe or antman.
Now when we compare how antman lost in the finals frfr.
To your fake media word salad. We can easily expose you do not watch games. Plus you such a fly by night. You do not know hoops to even know run tmc.
You just looked at Mitch box scores.
If you watched games.
You would have seen how antman lost.
When Ant man lost.
What happened?
I can follow up this. When antman also missed his chance at the shot as well.
mitch would never.
mike would never.
Since you do not watch games and nuffin but ol school newspaper stat clippings.
You do not know the game.
as well as and what occurred from watching it.
You parrott talking points from the media outlets you pic from. When real talk. All those media outlets are not as good a writer as me. As grassroots nobody knows or gives a fukk about their news paper article or web feed. Or needed a large media conglomerate and resources.
to make Up the difference.
in their apparent real lack of talent.
To draw.
To analyze and critique talent from a real actualized headliner space.
So you add un-neccessary content. Thinking your overload can not be debunked. When I read and debunk all you goofies.
for a quarter plus century in every topic here.
As far as antman.
We already seen him fail and not be like Mike.
Plus I know mitch was better in every possible way To antman as a hooper. Either under duress to proficiency. Yet since you are a non hooper and white boy style fan of basketball and lack soul.
You try to cater to a crowd. That does not give one iota of a fukk about your Commentary. Plus when challenged. You run for the hills.
I know mitch would have closed when antman did not.
Or did you forget the series and what occurred as pivotal?
I know you did not watch the series and read about it.
Antman failed the wolves and his attitude got wilted after this link exposal and it was over after that. Mitch richmond would never have not dribble drive to pull up. Yet the guy you young goofies who refuse to dig in the crate. To grow and gain from.
Michael jordan.
that player you goofies ignore.
as well as others of his real skill and ilk. to become well versed to discuss basketball frfr.
You post like ignorant c00n version of Jay Marietta and skip bayless. Before Mike humbled those goofies. Then try to act like you were or provided great content and no one reads or cares about your babble'n word salad. Where you never definitively discuss a damn thing. Plus are easily able to debunked with one link and a fact.
