Was the spelling error on purpose? If it was it is one of the funniest things you've said. 

Maybe.  Maybe not.

Ok no more personal stuff

Well, I was going to tell you how strong and handsome you are, but that would have been personal.

Russel is in the top 10 and he is the best winner in basketball history.  The last time I checked the reason you play is to win so I would take winning as a big part in determining who is the best.  In the NFL Marino is the best pure passer I have every seen but that does not make him the best QB and one of the reasons is that Marino never won the championship.

Lebron is hardly one-dimensional like Marino.  Arguing MJ vs LBJ is legit.  Throwing Kobe, Russel, and other players into the argument is letting parsonal bias against LBJ cloud judgment.

I don’t like Durant, and his move to the team that beat him was a chickensh$$ wimp move that rightfully drew the disgust of most players and fans. Can’t stand him.

That said he’s clearly one of the best players today. I would put him behind Kawhi, but no further than 3rd. 

If you call Durant's move that, what word do you have for what Kawhi has going on right now?

As far as where KD ranks all time, I'm seeing too much love given to players from 40 years ago.  The 15th best player from 1980 is not better than the 2nd best player today.

If he had not done so before, LeBron has passed MJ as the greatest ever this season.  LBJ has MJ on size and strength.  Mj's peak season in rebounds and assists is an average season for LBJ.  As far as championships, MJ consistently had a better team around him in a less competitive NBA.

Kinda funny seeing Vic on the 3rd team with PG.

So, we can call the trade 'equal'.....well, except for that little Domantis Sabonis thing.  

EJ shoots way too many 3's.  He's really not a very good shooter.  I don't care that he won the 3 point contest one year.  He would be a much more effective player driving more and getting to the line.

Can't say this enough.  Love seeing all of the national "experts" (and frankly, quite a few knowledgeable posters in this forum) have a lot of egg on their face for calling this a great trade for OKC.  I can't think of a more lopsided trade from last season, frankly.  If you all have one, I'd love to hear what it was.

I'm just trying to figure out who these 'knowledgeable' posters are that you're speaking of.  

LeBron goaltended Vic's shot.  

Trying to decide whether to accept the Celtics/Cavs rickets offeted to me for Saturday night, or keep my reservations to attend the royal wedding in London.

That was goaltending on LeBron against Vic.  

Lebron goaltended Vic's shot.

Vic filling Kenny Smith's studio chair tonight on TNT.

If I owned wn NBA team and had my choice of coaches, I would acknowledge how great Pop is but I would hire Stevens.

LeBron is totally unconcious right now.  I have never seen anything like it.

I'm very curious to see if Yogi is still with the Mavericks next season.  You have to think he has some appeal as a backup PG, but I can't help but think that Dallas is a perfect fit for him right now.  

Cody, on the other hand, needs a change of scenery.

Rockets vs Raptors.

As the Raptors are beating teams, you sit there trying to figure out HOW they are doing it, and you can't.  Those are the most dangerous kinds of teams.

Geez did Anunoby guard the entire Pacer lineup?!!!!

Under 30% and guaranteed no home court in first round.  Could be Cavs in first round, and would almost certainly be Toronto in second round should they get past first.  Pacers would have been better off as the 6th seed.

Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.

3rd in the East who would of thunk it

ESPN's BPI still projects them 6th at the end of the season due to how tough their schedule is down the stretch.

PG with a pultry 9 in the Three Point Contest. I think we can finally end the PG debate after that performance 

Typical PG-13 shooting in the clutch.  

Not interested in Troy in Indiana. Pacers have a good thing going and I don't think Troy fits the mold of the roster.

That Oladipo guy for the Pacers is purrrty good.

James, LeBron. 

The Pacers are arguably worse without Vic than the Cavs are without LeBron.

Pacers take down Boston in Boston. Victor with 35 and 10 boards. 

He won't win MVP, but name me a player that a team relies on more to win.  Pacers would be 3rd seed right now if Vic had not missed any games.
