    Kawhi is 100% after winning with two teams, MVP both Finals, one against the super team Heat and one for the underdog Raptors. Some of the things he’s done too like the buzzer beater against Philly. It’s iconic.

    The only reason for Giannis to be under 100% is his age and the fact he’s got a lot ahead of him. He’d have to literally fall off a cliff. Any MVP and the main man in a Championship team should be in the HoF.

    Giannis has one of the best individual resumes already for a 26 year old ever.


    The idea CP3 is a lock but Kawhi, Giannis and Steph aren’t is bizarre.

    That Netflix Untold episode about The Malice at The Palace is brilliant.

    The Detroit fans and media are such scum.

    This season is going to be a riot off the court with the seemingly high amount of players who are anti-vaxxers.

    Players banned from even entering their own arenas etc.

    Kind of incredible thinking how quick the turnaround was without tanking man.


    Still think they only decided to get serious because they knew The Last Dance was coming out…

    Seems like the NBA won’t be held to ransom…

    Be interesting to see how long it lasts. Lebron is seemingly anti-vax or was so can see Silver bending over if it starts effecting him.

    Can’t stand Kyrie Irving

    If he doesn’t want to get vaccinated fair enough it’s his choice - he’s well aware of the consequences, missing home games, not getting paid etc.

    If you’re on his team you’d probably want to kick his head in, there’s always something, he’s a constant distraction. They have a legit chance of going all the way but all he’s doing is hurting the teams chances.

    He’ll get vaccinated half way through the season and come out and say “NBA players are slaves” or some stupid *.

    When he realises they’re still good enough to go deep without him he’ll get vaccinated and give it the ‘I done my own research’.

    Genuinely one of if not the most skilful players to play the game but thinks being controversial and talking * will make him seem like some sort of crazy genius.

    The Kanye West of basketball.

    Interesting. I wonder if he doubles down or gives in.

    Not even 12 hours later and he’s already changing his stance trying to save face…

    Chicago Sky just won their first ever WNBA title.

    Parker greeting at the free throws when she realised the game was won was emotional as * man.



    Candace Parker just became a * in Chicago.

    Ben Simmons has some ego for a guy who’s literally scared of shooting a basketball.

    The NBA 75th Anniversary Team makes for some interesting discussion.

    I quite like that they stuck with the top 50 players chosen as part of the 50th anniversary, but then choosing the best 25 from the last 25 years was definitely very competitive and arguably a fair few others from this era deserved to be in over players from previous eras (e.g. Klay Thompson is an upgraded Reggie Miller in my opinion).

    Also thought it was very harsh on Dwight Howard not being included, arguably guys like T-Mac and Vince Carter too.
