Ok i can totally agree with those and who know what he can truly be till we see one would hope that he can be better than Kobe.
Green will score more, but cade will fill in the stat sheet more with rebounds and assists. So it all comes down to what selectors value more
Stop overrating Kobe because he died. He was not even top10 all tim. listen kids we were watching his games and he wasnt that good as media wants you to believe he was. KD is better than Kobe ever was. Shaq was better, Duncan was better, LeBron was way better, Dirk was better. there is not one reason Jalen Green couldnt reach his level its only matter how much and how good he trains
I think Suggs will have the least resistance Orlando has no main offensive player, even Detroit has Grant. Suggs defense and passing abilities will immediately earn him a lot of minutes. It could be anybody, but he’s my guess. I also wouldn’t be surprised with Mitchell or Duarte
Stop being so intent on being the callous contrarian...it's not a good look here. As to where Kobe Bean stands in the pantheon of great players....No argument can be made against him being one of the top 20 ballers of all time. Where he slides around on everyone's list in there is debatable. Dirk!?! Really? You seem to forget how good Kobe was on BOTH sides of the ball....and how CLUTCH the man was.
I really hope it’s Jalen, but that’s the hometown bias in me. It’s probably going to be Dee. Nobody is talking about him because he was grabbed low. Really slept on. He’s the most versatile. He’s a clutch shooter and really knows how to ball out. Summer League highlight package: Spoiler
Dirk is definitely better than Kobe. He's one of the most efficient scorers of all time and besides Hakeem the only superstar to win a championship with no other all stars. And he did it against big 3 heat. He's in my top 10 easily. Kobe was a great competitor that benefited from playing in a huge media market. He could do nothing without superstar teammates cuz he was an inefficient chucker most of the time. ESPN hyped him like he was the greatest and only showed highlights of his game winners on repeat. But how many games did that dude shoot his team out of. He had to play alongside two of the most efficient scorers ever to win because they balanced out his terrible shot selection.
Kuminga: Klay/Steph get so much attention on the perimeter while Wiseman and Draymond patrol the interior on offense. Kuminga has a chance to be really good as an under the radar in between player floating between perimeter and interior. Plus the media giants will be pushing hard for those California or New York rookies. Kuminga has a better chance than Cam Thomas, Miles McBride or Grimes. Jalen Green: has a Wall in front of him, lol
Why do you think this? I think the first 15 games he will and the Rockets will be like 2-13. Management will realize we need to tank again and decide to play Sengun. Heck they might also trade Theis at deadeline.
Because he isn't getting pushed into starter minutes. Theis will be starting without question. And the rockets didn't bring in a 4 year 36 mil guy to sit on the bench. This tank stuff has got some of yall thinking nonsense. They're still going to play their guys, but this team still isn't good enough to actually win. So the losses are going to pile anyway. I'll be surprised to see Sengun avg an actual full 20 mins in this first year. And no he will not be traded at the deadline. that makes no sense
I think Cade will win. Green is going to suffer from not enough minutes and being frozen out by Wall. I don’t trust Silas to buck the veterans. Wall and Gordan should be coming off then bench, but they won’t be. Green will eventually force himself into 30 mins, but it will be well into the system and his stats will suffer.
Kobe has one of the worst clutch time fg% out of great players. He shot every shot even if it was worst one ever and in the span of years yeah couple of them got in and look good on the highlights on the other hand check out 2011 Mavericks championship run, their roster and who they defeated then get back to me. If Dirk played with Shaq/Gasol/etc while on league favourited Lakers he would be multi champion easily
Just an "inefficient chucker"...LMAO. Both of you guys attempt to deflect with that ESPN Highlight crap. Now, it stands to reason, as long time residents, that all of us have watched, and do watch our fair share of hoops. So, enough of that....it's downright ridiculous (offensive as well) to think that would factor into my thought process....and it makes the two of you look like buffoons. Now, I did mention that Kobe played both sides of the ball....something neither of you chose to address. 12 times All Defense .....Obviously y'all don't put much stock in that side of the coin. KB could take it to the hole and finish with the best of them (while getting to the line 10 times/gm), and...what about the assist #'s year in and year out...this is an important part of what L.A. was able to do. And, considering how much he handled the ball....the turnovers were low.... while the rebounds were very high for a swingman. Most importantly, he could elevate his game at the most crucial times....on both sides of the ball.
