Re: the official Dwayne Wade >>> you thread

[dmize]

Ricky Rubio is so overrated

He is, in the way that he wasn't worth a #1 or even top 5 pick. But he's got NBA PG size, he's a really great passer with good vision. He also can use the pick and roll to perfection. Besides if he plays with Drummond, he'll average 10 assists a game just throwing lobs near the rim.

[Sir Psycho]

I like his game Rubio, that pass first mentality is rare in young pg's today. As far a college is concerned Calipari's squads always build you up only to let you down. Had Kanter had been eligible last year they would've waltzed to the championship.

[dmize]

After that Arsenal thrashing I'm looking forward to College B-Ball the most, American Football(ill probably make a thread when the season starts), MLB Playoffs and hopefully the NBA comes back without too much of a delay.

I read recently they just met for the 2nd time to discuss an agreement. That's it? Two times since the lockout started?! No wonder nothing is resolved.

The next great NBA big man.

I hope he plays college ball, and doesn't just go to the NBA after this year.

Upped, he just committed to UConn and is going to play this season. Repeat Champs?!



Looks like he improved where he releases his jumper since vid #2, it's a bit higher release now. And his passing is ridiculous as well.

I love the top comment: "people his size are not supposed to do things like that" lol

Lineup:
Shabazz Napier 6'1"
Jeremy Lamb 6'5" - 7'4" wingspan(!!)
DeAndre Daniels 6'8" - 7'2" wingspan/Roscoe Smith 6'8 - 7'1" wingspan
Alex Oriakhi 6'9" - 7'3" wingspan
Andre Drummond 6'11" - 7'5" wingspan

MONSTER length for a college team, hell that's decent length for an NBA team

How much did Uconn pay him J/K


Harrison Barnes is my fav player in CBB :bball: My brother is a UK Grad so i gotta root 4 them So sorry Uconn we takeing it!

[dmize]

How much did Uconn pay him J/K

I would hope you're joking considering Terrence Jones was recruited by the scummiest coach in college B-Ball. Who has paid players, given them gifts, and even had another student take Derrick Rose' SAT. Did I mention he has two Final Fours vacated? Pretty soon the sh1t will hit the fan at UK like it always does and he'll run along to the NBA or the next program and leave UK in shambles like he did with UMass and tried to do to Memphis.

That said Terrance Jones is a beast. He's going to have a huge year, it's going to be UNC, UK and UConn as the 3 favorites I would imagine.

[dmize]

I realized the Wolves don't have a 2012 first, oops. Well I would bet on the Clippers getting Drummond then.

A Blake Griffin-Andre Drummond 4/5 combo Not too mention Eric Gordon

[Chad]

I know Coach Cal History.. and Jim Calhoun a crook too so what Cheaters Do Win like uconn last year. And UConn got soooo Lucky last year if only UK could ever make there free throws... Cal is never going to leave UK it's the best job in CBB those things happened in the past dosen't mean it going to happen again.

How is Jim Calhoun a crook? Really, tell me?

Has he ever had Final Fours vacated? Ever had given a player gifts? Ever had other students take players tests and SAT's?

And stop with the woulda, coulda sh1t, it's embarassing. UConn was the better team. Not only did we beat you in the Final Four, we dominated you in Maui earlier in the year. Calimari will never win a title, because while he can get the top recruits, he's a shit coach tbf.

Meanwhile Calhoun with 3 titles since '99, #4 will put him right there with Coach K, Wooden, Dean Smith as the best coaches of all-time. All those titles were won with something like 7 McDonalds All-Americans, seven TOTAL. UK and UNC probably have 7 McD AA's on their rosters THIS year alone. That's how good of a coach Calhoun is. He turned Hilton Armstrong into a lottery pick ffs. Since he doesn't land that many elite recruits compared to some other teams, what exactly is he cheating at?

I use to like UK as a program but any team that has Calimari as coach

[Chad]

John Calipari has never been convicted of a major NCAA violation.
Jim Calhoun has been convicted of a very major NCAA violation.

Coach Calipari has never been suspended by the NCAA Calhoun Has
$$$6,000 in improper benefits given to a former player$$$

Coach Cal Memphis team should have beat Kansas but Rose couldnt make his FT Cal really has 1 NC. Kansas Biggest BS Champ



And your right the NBA is going to be all UK player's Soon. Let alone this year's Team :bom:

No, a booster of the University of Connecticut was convicted, Josh Nochimson. Not Calhoun. Calhouns wrongdoings include going over the limit of text messages you can send to a recruit(really? that recruit btw never even played for UC), Caliparis include giving cars to guys like Marcus Camby, students taking athletes tests. Calipari also keeps World Wide Wes around, who's basically an agent. He was with him at Memphis and UMass, extremely shady.

And why are you posting highlights of a title game Calipari lost? lol. Like I said earlier stop with the woulda, coulda shit. "Men lie, women lie, numbers don't lie" Calhoun = 3 Titles and UConn = Current Champs

Every year some UK fan whos only been following them since Calipari started getting every one and done player under the sun, spouts some bs about how this is their year, it's a joke. Then you always choke when it matters most lmao. It will be the same next year when the 5 new mercenaries come in.

Anyways when he gets caught(again) and the whole thing comes crashing down, I'm going to love it. Of course he'll already be at another school or NBA by then since he'll know when to leave just before it gets real bad.

[Chad]

The NCAA completely cleared Calipari of any wrongdoing in the Camby case . Yes i know about Wes he is shady but that's his man. Calipari been getting one and done players every year so that's nothing new even at memphis. Jim Calhoun is shady and is not clean like u make him out to be


Anyways here a dance we can all do!

My 2012 TEAM USA

Rose/CP3/Deron
Kobe/Dwayne/TyrekeEvans
Durant/Lebron/Melo
Amare/Aldridge/Griffin
Dwight/Bynum/Love

U Like? My team is too big i need to make cut's

[LeSwagg James]

Still haven't gotten over the Heat loss..

[Chad]

Im still not over getting swept by mavs. Bynum 4 Dwight Do it Mitch! I whanted Melo but i'll take dwight.

[justdoit_]

Benching LeBron? No way man, people are getting way too entrenched in the hate being shown towards him after the Mavs series, he's still the best basketball player in the world by a fairly decent margin.

12 players heading to London;

CP3/Rose/Williams
Bryant/Wade
James/Durant
Melo/Griffin/Bosh
Dwight/Love

I doubt it'll be anything like this though, Coach K will bring in some role players like he brought Prince, Redd, and Boozer to Beijing.

Went with the starting lineup in Beijing except for CP3 succeeding Jason Kidd, I'd be surprised if Coach K majorly shakes up a set he's familiar with and proven on the big stage.

Yes , and he's worse than RuPaul when it comes to the finals and the 4th quarter !

Wait so you like the Lakers, Bulls, Kentucky and Real Madrid? Anyone you root for who doesn't finish in the top 2 of their division every year?

And I checked Kobes stats, he's not the best player in the league anymore. Only shot 45% on the year, and 32% from 3. Hell, Lebron shot it better beyond the arc ffs, 33%.

[Chad]

Umm Let's see i told u my brother is a alum of Kentucky instead of a bandwagon uconn fan *cough* so i root for them with him and i think i can since my family paid a Ass load of money for him to go there
I've been a fan of the bulls since Jordan was there and im a LA Native so Yeh i like the Lakers nope i love the Lakers
And Last i checked Kobe is still the best in the NBA And Lol at u giveing field goal percentage to tell me who the best player is

First off I'm from Connecticut, slick, and attended UConn. Did you attend UK, have you ever been to Kentucky? "Oh but my brothers friends cousins once had a UK t-shirt so their my favorite team now."

Whens the last time you checked, two years ago? I hate Lebron but hes a better player at this point, not even debatable. If you wanna use rings as a comparison then Bill Russell > MJ. So seriously tell me why Kobe is the best in the league? Obviously you're going to disregard stats so there must be something else there for you. Let me know.

[Chad]

Can u Read? My Brother is a Graduate of Kentucky

How is lebron a better player cause he dunks better? Last time i check Kobe is a better defender Dosent' fall apart in the 4th and is a leader instead of a follower. Has a Post Game. I could go on and on
Come At Me Bro

KG is a better defender than Kobe, is a leader, doesn't fall apart in the 4th(not anymore), has a post game, I could go on and on. Is he better than Kobe and Lebron? No, so that argument means nothing really.

Lebron is a better player RIGHT NOW because he's younger and in his prime. Kobe's past it, sorry to say. That explosiveness isn't there, his leaping ability has diminished, his percentages have gone down. Lebrons quicker, stronger, better leaper, can get the rack better at this point. 2-3 years ago I would've said Kobe's better by far, but at this point he hasn't shown he is. He could have a bounce back year.

[dmize]

Come At Me Bro

I already did, you're not a great debater tbf. "Using Field Goal percentage to determine a players success, blasphemy!!"

[Chad]

Hah that's right just Quit. Nice excuse

Is that all u got is FG percentage

U come at me with weak garbage u must be another kobe hater

[dmize]

That's not good enough for you? Here's some more; Lebron was better than Kobe in the following: True Shooting Percentage(a better indicator since FG% and 3PT FG% aren't good enough for you), rebounds, assists, and most importantly PER, aka Player Efficiency Rating. Lebron was far more efficient. And PER is probably one of if not the best tool of measuring a players impact. Oh and his Value Added(VA) and Estimated Wins Added(EWA) were all better too. EWA says Lebron was responsible for about 7 more wins compared to Kobe last year(25 to 18)

Feel free to come out with any actual reasoning or stats to why he's better, because you've failed miserably so far.

Durants also better than Kobe too, fwiw.
