Andrei Kirilenko: one of the most underrated players of the 2000s

• Upvotes

I encourage every young person here to watch Andrei Kirilenko's highlights. This post was inspired by a statline from Nov. 30, 2007, where Kirilenko had 20 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists, 6 steals and 4 blocks. It remains the only PTS+REB+AST triple-double in NBA history to feature 10 combined stocks and 0 turnovers, so that's indicative of him as a player; he could impact every single statistical column of the game substantially. His 2004 campaign is truly one of the greatest seasons ever by a player not in the HOF, along with peak Fat Lever, Shawn Marion and Brad Daugherty.

He also had perhaps the coldest nickname in NBA history.

LeBron James son Bryce started in a second exhibition game tonight. This time vs. SDSU. His stats are below. It feels like Tommy Lloyd is starting him purely as a ploy to put more eyes on the U of A program.

We saw all the Sh!t Talking you’ve been saying last couple of years. The difference is that you can actually see the improvements to Ausar Thompson game but you can’t say the same for Amen. I like Amen and I do think Offensively Amen is more explosive. But Ausar is definitely looking like the better prospect with more upside as the scouts predicted. This isn’t a hate on amen cause he’s solid. But Ausar is going to be special.

has there ever been a superstar as arrogant as westbrook?

0 Upvotes

his arrogancy fueled him to be a great player but also played a huge part of demise imo. i dont think i can think of any superstar who wouldnt admit to their shortcomings in their play or playing style, especially if it was as evident as westbrook's.

[BREAKING] NBA drops the hammer on official sportsbooks, banning same-player under parlays, low-minutes props, and opening tip wagers ahead of opening night.

Post image

Following a barrage of high-profile gambling scandals and federal investigations, the NBA has officially ordered sportsbook partners like FanDuel and DraftKings to strip out several high-risk betting markets. Moving forward, bettors can no longer combine multiple under outcomes for a single player into one parlay, place under bets on rotation players expected to log fewer than 12 minutes, or sweat "first-of" micro-bets like the opening tip.

Why is Luke Kornet so bad?

0 Upvotes

He is very slow, can’t shoot and barely defends. Wemby lacks skill but he is a lot faster and has some offensive ability. Kornet can’t do simple layup.

Conspiracy: theres a best player that is banned from the NBA because he would be too good and its bad for ratings

0 Upvotes

I really think that there's someone out there inconceivably good at basketball that the NBA just does not want out there for the reason of it would just make the league unwatchable. No point of wondering who will win awards or the championship, no suspense in anything, nothing.

Buss siblings file new court document opposing Jeanie's petition to remove them as trustees

Post image
16 Upvotes

Joey and Janie Buss filed a 29-page document opposing their sister's petition to remove them as co-trustees, which would void the siblings' 5-1 vote to sell the family's remaining stake in the team.

The filing argues their right to hold the vote to sell and highlights trust language stating a sale requires a two-thirds majority, which they exceeded. It also challenges the breadth of Jeanie's rights as a co-trustee and acting governor, and argues Jeanie's contempt claim lacks merit since the siblings "exercised voting rights expressly granted to them as beneficiaries."

On the initial vote, Jeanie was the only one of the six siblings to vote against the sale. This whole mess ties directly into the Iger-Kushner purchase and the team's valuation. Feels like this drags on well past opening night at this rate.
