The Official Dwayne Wade <<<<<< you thread

Never seen a more fragile dictatorship than the Chinese

One made 3

Couldn't be my PG tbh

Ingram all star? Try Lonzo all star

It's about damn time

I doubt either one will be tbh, too much competition and we'll make the mistakes that young teams do.

I don't think it's possible to pack the paint more than this. This stops Ben Simmons. It might even stop Giannis. It does not even come close to stopping Zion. You just can't prepare your brain for how fast he is. pic.twitter.com/Mjlt6fuwFS

His first step explosion is absolutely dumb, it's like watching a 6'7 Derrick Rose.

Watch him when he faces grown men though (:

oh... shit

lol take it easy lads, he'll see some real defense down the line and then y'all won't be yapping as much

Still waiting for the players who are just as athletic as he is who failed.

Been months now

This hand in the sand nonsense is hilarious, we're just mentioning certain things and ya'll acting all defensive.

No defense is going to cause him the sort of problems you are delusionally expecting for some reason. you only have to look at the evidence to realise this.

what evidence mate? This boy hasn't played a real NBA game yet. The NBA ain't college pls

I've been hyping Zion for longer than most/at least as long as Freeza but what the hell was that tweet

Like, why are we analyzing how effective Zion is going to be based on defense in the preseason from the chicago bulls? Bucks literally beat their A/B team with the bucks C/D team just the other night. Which doesn't really matter either, cuz it's preseason.

"This stops Ben Simmons. This might even stop Giannis". What? Stop.

Y'all know I wouldn't agree with EG on anything basketball related unless he was in the right. He is here. You're not playing in the NBA till you're actually playing NBA games. Preseason aint that

Steve Kerr on if he's ever been asked about human rights during his previous trips to China:

"No. Nor has (America's) record of human rights abuses come up either... People in China didn't ask me about, you know, people owning AR-15s and mowing each other down in a mall."

—————

He really can’t tell the difference. Unbelievable. Fuck Steve Kerr, fuck Tilman Fertitta, fuck the NBA. Fuck China, most of all.

You never watched him in college then.

He’ll have it easier around the rim in NBA because of spacing. Doesn’t matter how good the opponents are. 6’11 is 6’11 everywhere except on Tinder

I'd +1 but you had to go italics on "the chicago bulls".

NBA is taking a big hit behind this.

Kerr and Popp can talk all that good shit against Trump, but back down with the quickness against an actual dictatorship.

Really just prove the wokeness the NBA has shown is nothing but an illusion. They are kicking citizens out of Arenas for holding up uygur and free hong kong banners. under the guise of "no politics". Anybody whos ever been to an nba game within the past few years, or even in the past were able to see BLM, anti bush/trump things, and clear political speech about the likes of eric garner from actual players. This is a bitch move by a league looking to appease a 1.5 billion person market.

Again with the boring NBA aint college head in the sand retorts

The evidence that's in front of your face, he's way too athletic and first step is too fast and explosive for him to suddenly start struggling.

"Not real game" is hilarious, you're just blindly following very bad stereotypes in the less than 1% chance he might struggle to say he told you so and ignoring the large and obvious evidence that the "grown men" stuff is obvious bullshit.

No we're saying that Zion's first step is so explosive that having a wall in front of him doesn't really matter.

Way to jump to conclusions that we're not even discussing lol.

You linked a dumb tweet. I attacked that tweet as stupid.

It's not my fault you didn't properly frame it. You could have said "this tweet is literally dumb as shit and clearly an insane overreaction to a preseason NBA game, but it has some nice pictures that illustrate what I mean about his first step". Or you could have said "ignore the text in this tweet but look at the pics"

Without framing, it looks like you endorse what the tweet is saying. If you don't then fair enough, but I don't think my post was out of context.

Also, yes a wall in front of him does matter. I watched the play in the tweet, and it was impressive. But once again, this is the bulls in preseason. This isn't the Raptors with Kawhi and Gasol in the NBA postseason. Hell it aint even Gobert in the regular season.

Well Giannis didn't struggle getting to the rim even in that scenario, it's just his team mates shat the bed.

Also I'd make the argument Zion has one specific advantage over players like Giannis, because he's 6'7 and not bordering on 7ft his first step is much more explosive.

Meaning that he doesn't need much of a running start to get past people which is important difference to point out.

In much the same way Young Kobe first step was much more explosive than Lebron who also needed more of a running start. ( I'm only mentioning this so you don't think I'm dissing Giannis lol)

Honestly as far as Zion's concerned I'm way more concerned about his understanding of rotations and things like that at the defensive end.

Than i am with anything at the offensive end.

Our defence (or lack thereof) is the reason we'll be a 9th or 10th seed imo.

It's not that we don't have the personnel or effort, but it's going to take time for them to put it together and they'll lose games along the way.

26 points in 12 shots against the big, scary Gobert for Zion

preseason

That's it keep burying your head in the sand lol.

Dunno why you keep downplaying the obvious, yes it's pre season but who cares? It's not like people who been this dominant against other NBA starters have ever struggled to replicate it when the real games start.

It's bordering on hating tbh, no scratch that it is hating.

bru all im saying is let me see this boy do it in competitive NBA games for a few games, half a season, a season.

I'm not wishing on him to be a flop.

I don't see the point in not talking about it already or downplaying it.

There's never been an NBA player who was dominant in pre season and then suddenly was trash when the real stuff started.

I mean just look at the people putting numbers in this pre season, it's all nba guys like Giannis and Steph.

It's not like I'm saying he's better than this or that player or hyping up his overall standing in the game.

I'm pointing out certain things he does and then in this case pointing out his success against DPOY.

I really don't see what's wrong with that.
