Old Going For Gold: USA Men's Olympic Basketball - Next Up The Main Event vs France (8/10 @ 3:30pm ET)

[Ozymandeas]

Bron the goat
MJ 2nd
KAJ 3rd
Duncan 4th
Russell 5th
Magic/Bird 6th/7th
Wilt 8th
Steph 9th
Kobe 10th
Shaq 11th
Hakeem12th
KD 13th
Big O 14th
Moses 15th
Jokic 16th

Embiid and Luka got a chance to Crack the top 15. Jokic is likely to be top 10, maybe top 5.

Jokic got the best chance to break the top 5 of the active players

Jordan is the GOAT
KAJ 2nd
Bron/Kobe 3rd & 4th (interchangeable, argue with your momma)
Steph 5th
Magic/Bird 6th & 7th (interchangeable)
Shaq/Duncan 8th & 9th (interchangeable)
Russell 10th
Wilt 11th
Hakeem 12th
KD 13th
Jokic 14th
Dirk 15th

That entire Bron through Duncan portion is the most tiresome debate in sports.

Any GM that drafts any of these six players (Bron/Kobe/Magic/Bird/Duncan/Steph) are winning 3 to 5 rings.

But NONE of them are Jordan

Dirk had a better career than KG, Malone, Giannis, and Barkley?

You see Giannis passing Dirk within 5 years?

You see Giannis passing Dirk within 5 years?

You could argue KG and Giannis. If I continued to 20, they'd all be there.

Dirk gets alot of points for going through Kobe, the Thunder Big Three and Bron & Wade.

 

[Road20]

This is the start of villain Wemby. He's gonna go crazy next season

 

[Belize King]

He ain’t better than Paolo. Full stop.

Chet either. Plus Chet might have a couple rings by then.

It’s really only 2/3 spots available

The returning vets: Ant, Tatum, Hali, Booker, Bam

The new must-have stars: Ja, Zion, Chet, Paolo

I don’t see a 23 year old Flagg going in over prime Maxey, Jalen Williams (think Jrue holiday, he may be an elite glue guy multiple time champ),

I completely forgot about Jalen.

That’s our guard stopper.

Jalen Johnson out of Atlanta is nice as well. I think we will end up being a legit 2 within the next two seasons. Watch.

We haven’t mentioned Bridges neither.

 

[Standing on business]

Schroder really tried to play them like their skills and bball skills & IQ ain’t higher



Simple and effective ether by KD

To me, the modern NBA starts in ‘79. That run Dirk and them boys had was top three easy. Houston Rockets second chip is up there to me. Pistons run in the 80’s, I forget which one.

 

[AkaDemiK]

This was beautiful to experience. Generational talents on their last ride. My goodness.

The stannery took a backseat to appreciation. Love to see it.

Imagine if Franz or Moe had said that dumb shyt

“Ja our IQ est higher then subhuman untermensch Ja. Da primitive basket skills out nothing compared to mein fuhrer!”
