Nike partnership continuing with Kobe foundation

I remember Derozan and Booker said they spent around 40K each buying up every pair of kobe's they could

Nets with a fully healthy roster get embarrassed at home by the Hornets in a must-win game. And people still think this team actually has a chance at winning a championship…LOL. They’re so bad..

C's, 76ers won't say if they meet Toronto vax rule

Facing the possibility of a first-round playoff series with road games in Toronto, the Celtics and 76ers declined comment to ESPN when asked if their teams are fully vaccinated.

[Terry Yake]

haven't those teams already played road games in toronto? wouldn't they know who hasn't been vaccinated already since those players would have already missed those games?

The Sixers already played the Raptors in Toronto in December and the only players who are on the team now that weren't then are Harden (who we know is vaxxed from being with Nets), Millsap and Jordan, who both would actually being doing the team if a favor if they aren't.

If the All-Star game was US vs the World , I'd take the World.

the us would destroy the world

this has been proven in the olympics. the us dominates international basketball. and yes i know they're countries in the olympics and not the aggregate "world".

 

[Voight]

If the All-Star game was US vs the World , I'd take the World.

Near 0 chance they win and it would very likely be a blowout.

The rest of the world has come a long way in developing NBA players but aren't anywhere close to competing with the US

Steph, Kawhi, Lebron, Durant, Bam, Booker, Paul, Lillard, Davis, Harden, Tatum, George. That’s off the top of my head and is still miles better than the list you gave.

Crippling, likely season ending loss for the Lakers. Especially when you look at their schedule.

 

[SimpleJack]

Lololol KD is such a loser. His Nets continue to lose every single close game/clutch situation they have. At what point do you stop making excuses for Durant? His Nets are a FAILURE and he continues to come up short when it matters most. It’s an absolute joke. Brooklyn isn’t even gonna make the playoffs LOL

 

[BKIslandersFan]

This is just embarrassing man.

 

[SimpleJack]

Steve Nash needs to be fired.

Kyrie and Ben Simmons LOL those 2 clowns are the other core pieces that KD teams up with? And let me tell you something Patty Mills might be the most useless piece of garbage in the entire NBA. A bunch of scrubs and zero defense. Not one single wing that is athletic and can guard the perimeter. They have the worst D in the NBA. And on top of everything else KD continues to fail in the clutch. He’s not a winner. Most overrated “superstar” of our generation. He’s not good enough to be the #1 option on a true championship contender.

 

[Ben Grimm]

The LAL are eliminated from the playoffs.

 

[John Price]

the canadian took the nets all the way from 3rd last year to 10th this year LMAO

 

[TheGreenTBer]

This is a really cool graphic, thanks for sharing.

Yes because having a part time player and injuries to all of your best players is all Nash’s fault.

there is no conceivable reason they could decline that fast

i'm starting to see the @BKIslandersFan picture. Nash is terrible.

I am not saying Nets should be the #1 seed with all the injuries.

But they should not be in the play in tournament.

I know right. I don't seriously folow the NBA but I saw they were the 10th seed. And they were the 3rd seed last year. How could they get so bad so fast?

Durant missing 27 games, Kyrie missing 53 games, Harden being one of the worst attitudes in the NBA, Simmons not playing, having corpses of Griffin, Aldridge, etc, Harris missing 65 games. Nash isn’t great but my god there’s so many reasons why they aren’t good that aren’t Nash’s fault.
