    WOW stephen A smh so were now giving a pass to KD for going to the warriors cuz he won the chip and finals mvp. Smh yall rllly forgot that was the weakest move ever and you cant compare him to top 5 great ever cuz of the move he made

      Thank you like because they talk so highly of him now more bball players will do wat he did. An he lost to warriors up 3-1 on them the yr b4 he joined em so it wasnt like well he didnt have talent on team to beat Warriors. An KD was upset cuz he thought he would be their favorite player an he would take shine away from Steph Curry which is delusuional becausr he’s such a underdog story an a sniper from 3 aint no1 taking that team from Steph cept maybe Lebron. Theres a reason ppl say Lebron better than Kobe cuz his 5 rings he only won 2 as the main guy an honestly onr of those Gasol shoulda won MVP. Lebron has 3 to Kobes 2 as the dude an if KD didnt make that weak move Lebron would surely have 4 to maybe 5 titles or if Kyrie an Love dont get hurt he wins that title. Not saying he beats warriors every yr but he woulda won majority. KD ruined NBA for 2 to 3 yrs i quit watching til playoffs those yrs cuz it was pointless every1 knew who was winning it all obviously.

      April 3, 2020 at 3:25 pm

    • Prodigy Gamer

      April 3, 2020 at 3:38 pm

      Yeah its hilarious the idiots thought Lonzo was better than Tatum as a rookie Tatum outplayed Lebron an got em to a game 7 to go to Finals without Kyrie an if his teammates didnt choke cuz Tatum balled of course in game 7 they woulda won that series an been 1st time ever a rookie took a team to Finals as their best player an leader thats never been done an dont say Magic he had tons of talent.

    Wow yal is hilarious yal now think Jayson Tatum could be the man of the NBA an yal was the idiots along with lik 95% of US thinking Lonzo Ball was going be a superstar an a HOFer. Cuz a dad said he was so good. At that time i said this is liking passing on Kobe Bryant it was so obvious if u watched both Tatum was going be a 25 to 30 pt scorer n his prime an ppl forget as a rookie an no Kyrie every1 counted them out an he carried Celtics to 1 game from NBA Finals as a rookie an was by far the leader of those playoffs an in game 7 i told ppl this dude wont choke an every1 said they had no chance against Lebron an if not for his team choking n 4th qtr they woulda beat Lebron but smart an Brown an other were bricking everything whereas Tatum was putting team on his back. Hilarious how they switch an now think he could be lik Kobe. Yal cover bball cant believe yal get so blinded by stuff an cant see obvious players.its lik yal saying Amari made Dak so much better Y dont yal tell the public his weapons they were worst n NFL. Had no even 3rd string WRs n nfl that yr. I was happy we was 3-5 that yr with that level of talent

    Best player, GOAT, torchbearer, face of the league. It’s all subjective. As a fan who loves to play and follows players more than teams, I find STYLE OF PLAY as the foundation in determining who I believe is the best player, GOAT, torchbearer or the face of the league. It began with JORDAN. Moved on to KOBE. Then to KAWHI. Next in line is TATUM. They play the brand of basketball and have a work ethic that makes you feel like a winner. They have an attitude of winning at all costs and they can care less about who likes them. I would put SHAQ and BIRD in their family tree somewhere.

    Another family tree would be with MAGIC. They’re in a category of FLASHY NAME and FLASHY PLAY. From MAGIC to KIDD, to LEBRON, and eventually to LUKA. A different brand of basketball where they can fill up the stat sheet, but it’s not always a guaranteed win. They make the game fun especially for their teammates. But they make me feel their losses always come with an excuse.

    The next family tree comprises the great sidekicks with their own special moments of the spotlight. Some of them have cool names to go along with their game. From WORTHY to SCOTTIE, then KLAY, and eventually (i hope) PG13 to JAYLEN (Brown, he should be called the Brain). They are great players, defenders, scorers but never give the feeling that they can be the guy to take you all the way (Worthy the exemption for one year).

    For me, the rest are all-time greats and role players.

    Luka 😂 do shoots 32% from three, plays no D and stats pads! Just another Westbrook tbh

    • SalvaGaming

      April 4, 2020 at 11:28 am

      Luka is already much more efficient that Westbrook has ever been lol (59 TS% right now)

    What torch? Dude has won 1 championship in the last 6 years…

    Luka and half these players nowadays are only great bc defense doesn’t exist in the NBA. If this was the 90s Luka would be getting bullied by Gary Payton, Iverson. J Kidd, Steve Nash to say some names. Hes not even better then John Stockton

    • Shammy Cat

      April 10, 2020 at 1:00 pm

      dipsetkory he won an MVP in Europe where they play hard defense. Luka would dominate in any era, I’d like to see a six foot Iverson “bully” a six foot seven inch Luka Doncic.

      @Yellow Bud Mitchel he only good cause he in the east…. Everyone in the West know who going to the finals…. Why u think KD went to the East…. It’s easy over there…. Ask kawi…. 🤣😂🤣😂…. I’m not sold on Luca….

    • FCGREGOR

      April 10, 2020 at 6:30 pm

      @WS GS Not sold on luka, but you are probably sold on zion and his 19 games…

    • WS GS

      April 10, 2020 at 6:36 pm

    April 7, 2020 at 8:04 pm

    HaHa ZION played 16 games in the NBA… C’mon! LUKA has won ROTY.. Played all star and if they would not trade half of the starting 5, they would reach playoffs last year!

    I think LUKA is the next face of NBA!

    Zion is also good, but I got feeling his knee wont last long :/

  22. Daniel Paul

    April 8, 2020 at 6:13 pm

    Gianni’s is 1a
