NBA

[MRandall25]

Hakeem Olajuwon was on Houston in NBA Jam for Genesis. Therefore that is what I associate him with (and what most people associate him with).

If we want to talk best white 3 point shooters of all-time, my money's on Chris Mullin. Unfortunately, NBA Jam is the extent of my NBA knowledge anymore, so I'm sorry I can't contribute more.

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

I'm pretty sure I'm the only person in the history of humanity that associates Hakeem with the Ratpors. He was with them for one season and very coincidentally NBA Live 2001 was the first NBA game that I owned (I never owned NBA jam, my cousin did).

that schlub kobe bryant scored his 32,000 career nba point last night. 4th person in nba history. only one other shooting guard has done it. imagine if he was more efficient

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

It only took him the 3rd most shots in NBA history to do it.

[shmenguin]

kobe does kind of just spray everywhere. if someone wants to call him inefficient, i'm listening.

but he's still a historic great.

[slappybrown]

It only took him the 3rd most shots in NBA history to do it.

So 4th most points on the 3rd most shots? Seems reasonable.

And yes, he's a high usage rate player, no question. This year, in particular, with that team, is horrifying from a quality of basketball perspective. But complaining about efficiency here as some kind of argument to put the Reggie Miller's of the world above his career is hilarious nonsense.

[Rylan]

looking at PER - efficiency rating

kobe is 19th all time at 23.35. reggie is ::scrolls down:: ::scrolls down more:: 116th at 18.3

'recent' notable SGs above reggie:

jordan 27.91 (lebron is 27.76 fyi)
d wade 25.28
tracy mcgrady 22.13
manu ginobli 21.42
clyde drexler 21.09
allen iverson (if you cant him as SG) 20.92
vince carter 20.00
ray allen 18.56

close behind, my main man mitch richmond 17.59

What gets lost here is how great McGrady was and how unfortunate that his health was an extremely limiting factor. That game where he scores 13 in like 40 seconds for the Rockets to beat the Spurs was just amazingness.

McGrady was one of the most fun players to watch in NBA history to me.

I really like Davis. He's an athletic freak. 2 steals and 3 blocks last night, along with 28 points on 19 shots and 9 rebounds. That's a superb line especially when going against Cousins.

[canaan]

Monta with another solid outing. 20/10 against a poor team, but ill take it. Dude has been steady.

[Idoit40fans]

John wall > lebron james

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

Yikes, Kyrie 7/16 with only 2 assists. If I was Lebron, I'd demand they trade him for Rondo.

Or at least tell him to pass the ball more. Seriously, a good PG should never get only 2 assists with Lebron and Love.

[shafnutz05]

Sixers 0-12. They are really making tanking an art form.

Ellis sucks.

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

Parker out with an ACL tear. Ruins his rookie of the year chance

[canaan]

Rondo to the Mavs! Woo!

Rondo, Monta, Parsons, Dirk, Tyson.

I wish the west wasn't such a buzzsaw lol

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

I love Rondo so that's a great pickup. Not to mention that he's surrounded by shooters so that's an ideal situation for him really.

Defense will be meh but they're gonna put up a ton of points

[canaan]

Rondo had a bad rondo game, but he's adjusting to a new squad. Monta continues to be an animal. 38 pts tonight against the spurs. Parsons with a solid double double.

[ulf]

Montae isn't good

[Letang Is The Truth]

i hate rajon rondo
