The Official 2024/25 NBA Week One Thread

[tigs2010]

Lakers starting 3-0 just like we all expected

Bronny to retire as the undefeated GOAT

 

[Iceman!]

39 year old Lebron James drops 32/14/10 on the 2nd night of a back to back but remember...

He is good not great

Is this a record for traded players playing their former team in the first week?

They'll likely retire in the same year too

Ok probably more 2-5 range.

I'm actually not convinced LeBron is the second best player of all time. What is it 4 championships in 21 years?

Magic won more in 12 years than LeBron has in 21. Kareem has two more MVP's and two more Championships than LeBron and Kareem also has a near flawless Collegiate and High School career.

Those two in particular are the arguments for me. But LeBron probably at worst is in the 4 spot.

He's at best 1st or worst 2nd take your pick, depends on your age i suppose.

You can't start counting rings as both of them were in different situations, different teammates etc.

Besides basketball is a team sport no matter how dominant one player is.

You want to debate GOATs head over to the tennis or golf threads.

Haliburton has just turned the ball over 2-3 times in the last minute and likely choked for the Pacers who were 5 up with a minute to go. Now down by 1.

Came to say the exact same thing.

Awful finish from the Pacers.

 

[Toffee Lion]

And then he hits a game tying 3 haha.

Love the NBA.

 

[Nicho50]

Haliburton with 2-3 turnovers which cost the Pacers a 5 pt lead. Was going to be an epic choke and then he pulls a magic long range 3 out to send it to overtime.

[Nicho50]

Such an awful shot lmao

As soon as he took the shot I was like what's the bet this goes in given he had just had a nightmare minute.

 

[Memphis]

Lmao!

 

[DT_35]

Martin brain dead then Hali chokes lmaoooo

 

[Toffee Lion]

Pacers/Philly full of so many errors/mistakes.

 

[tigs2010]

He's at best 2nd. He's not in Jordans realm. Not even really close at all.

 

[jod23]

Oh man

Ooft, that's awful. Looks nothing like him.

 

[tigs2010]

Ooft, that's awful. Looks nothing like him.

Wonder if his ex-wife signed off on it

 

[stewie griffen]

That aged well.

LOL heat.

Aged like a wade statue

 

[tigs2010]

Aged like a wade statue

Too soon man.

 

[tigs2010]

It's been an hour and a half and I still can't get over how bad that is. Disgraceful.

Hoping James Corden is behind it and the real one will be unveiled soon

Can see the maker of it having the same convo of

"Tell me what you like about the statue"
"Its too late to change it now"
"Im not sayimg im going to change it, im just asking what part you like"

 

[Nicho50]

How long until Doc gets fired

 

[Son of Skeletor]

For some reason Jerami Grant always turns into Kevin Durant when he sees us.

Also good to see some progression from the Pels. We remembered our awful first half against Portland on Saturday, and took on the challenge of beating that with two awful halves. Bravo.
