Well, he can have other sports that he can familiarize himself with, but if he only wants basketball to be the sport, yes going basketball leagues right now are USA's WNBA, Germany's BBL, Spain's Liga ACB, and LEB Oro, Chile's Liga National, and Chinese Taipei's P League that is ongoing on stake.com if you really want pure basketball sports, because we can surely make some discussions on certain sports if you would make your own thread,
That's a lot of leagues to follow, I might be able to enjoy it but I'm not sure if I can be profitable on the betting side. You know, I'm more confortable betting on NBA because I love the league and at the same time I feel that I'm making a profit. Well, I understand, and like you, I am more comfortable in making bets with the NBA only because we are familiar with their players, teams, and setup that is why but why not give it a try, on my 1st day betting on the NBA I am not familiar with certain players and who's going to score 30 plus points, I am not familiar with the coaches that is why I tend to research and look for certain things that can help myself along the way, first I will get my pick then look on those certain teams that are playing and surely ask a friend if they know about that league, for me WNBA is sure a great game to start, but it is just my opinion because if we can not try on different league all we can do is to wait for the next season to start,
Yes, you're right, Lebron James is one of the best, but I don't think Lebron has the old performance.
Lebron James will surely be remembered as one of the greatest that is why many teams would want him to be on their team, because of so much endorsement that money can potentially come in, and an opportunity like that is surely once in a lifetime, and right now Lebron James really want to play with his son until he calls it enough and retired on basketball,
Yes, Lebron James always says that he wants to play on the same team as his own son. Lebron will most likely retire after doing so.
Bronny James is ranked 34 on the draft pick while his father Lebron James was ranked 1, so I really think he is not really ready for an NBA shot, and many teams are really hesitant in getting him on board if it weren't for Lebron James because some teams know the stature of Lebron James there will be a lot of money if they can get Lebron on the team, but this could be a devastating career for Bronny since he will get inside the NBA not yet mature enough, |

Yeah, I think I saw leea mention in one of the other UFC prediction threads it's a record KO for a single card. Did see at least one match got cancelled too, so could have been even higher. Definitely a treat -- unless you're the kind who likes fights that go the distance and/or submission, nothing beats a KO for me though  Didn't bet, but I actually predicted most of the clear favourites, so doubt I even came close to being in the sniff for a prize. Each and every one of us here has different taste in what we prefer to see in a fight and for me, it really doesn't matter as long as the fighter has a technicality in his moves and controls over a fight no matter what is the outcome may be, at first I don't really like the fight going to the ground, I always like the brawl, but after seeing Khabib Nurmagomenodov fight I was really in love with the importance of the ground game, and right now fighters are more on the technicality of the fight and it is reaching over to higher divisions, mostly Heavyweight is more on a 1st round knockout but now because of Cyril Gane, the fight has turned into a new path more likely to counter those fighters that don't have a plan, Lolol.  I was totally annoyed, I wanted to kick the TV. But yeah... I gotta do a better job to get the top ticket right to at least get my money back and live another day. So note to self, don't but prelim matches in the top ticket or low level WMMA. They're unpredictable. And man the event was so good. Out of all the events in the UFC this year, I think UFC London and this recent one at Austin have been the most memorable so far. They're not even PPV events! At least you haven't kicked your TV to regret ever betting for Kyle Daukaus but it was really a shitty fight actually giving him as the crowd favorite to win was surely not a good sign, but at least you still enjoyed the other fights, Well, most fights are unpredictable, and I lost so much that 1 fight got canceled, and like you, I was frustrated because I thought that Calvin Kattar won that fight, but the judges were really blind or not looking at the fight the whole time, it was a robbery, in Kattar's part in my opinion. |

Maybe Beterbiev travelling to England to defend his 3 belts against their own hero Anthony Yarde is financially big. But I like Artur Beterbiev to pressure and convince Arum/ESPN to let him unify with the last remaining belt held by Dmitry Bivol. Beterbiev better not waste his time against these beltless contenders if he wants to leave a legacy in the Hall of Fame. Or maybe he can fight the beatable WBC cruiserweight champion Ilunga Makabu. A victory would make Beterbiev a 2 division champion and might be enough to enter the Hall of Fame.
Or is Arum (ESPN) scared that his aging champion might lose to a technical fighter like Bivol?
I don't think Artur Beterbiev is choosing his fight he will surely fight whoever has given to him, but this time it is right to think 1st before getting into the fight if the fight is necessary or not if he wants another belt then I think he better makes hesitation, there is no worth in getting fights to fighters that don't have a title shot, But in my opinion, Dmitry Bivol might have a chance but I am still going with Beterbiev, the power of Beterbiev is legit and right now he has a high percentage on his Knockout while Bivol in his 20 fights have 11 Knockouts and 9 Decision fights, Artur Beterbiev is still the scariest Boxer that could pierce any defense of his opponent,
That's what he think though, Bivol might be the easier to fight between the light weight champion, but he is mistaken. Beterviev? Canelo might get stop for the first time in his career.
I don't think that Arthur will retire, sooner or later if h continue to fight then maybe he will be caught. And I'm thinking that Bivol might have a good chance to defeat him.
Yup! he will not retire just so soon, I think he is enjoying fighting inside the ring and pretty much shining his craft, even more, that punch that he gives to Joe Smith Jr. is really devastating, and if he still has that kind of power he can still move forward but I don't want him to make a dent on his beautiful record, but I don't want him to retire early aswell, but I have confidence that he still will keep on fighting, and that he still has that power output he can throw to his opponent, Canelo Alvarez will not stand a chance against him in my opinion, |

Bayern Munich should look for a good striker after Lewandowski's departure. Lewandowski is a footballer who has recently even been nominated for the Ballon D'or. He lived the peak of his career at Bayern Munich. They're going to need a new, young, quality striker. Dortmund's chances of winning the Bundesliga may increase if they fail to sign a striker as they expected.
I really think they are doing that right now searching for a worthy Striker is not a walk in the park and the caliber of play like the striker Robert Lewandowski is hard to find, because in my opinion Robert Lewandowski now is a living legend right now, his feat is not that easy to achieve it will not be an easy task for Bayern Munich to produce a solid talent like Robert Lewandowski, and for Dortmund to be winning the Bundesliga Championship next season I really doubted, Dortmund is reliable to Erling Haaland, and without him, it will not be an easy task aswell, and even without Lewandowski on Bayern, they are still a solid team for the next season, Some time ago I saw some rumors saying that Bayern were after Madrid striker Luka Jovic on the other hand there was also some news about them wanting Rashford.
Even though this is still an issue but it seems that Bayern are still improving themselves now, even though Mane is definitely at Bayern for next season but still they still have to find a pure striker there.
I haven't seen news like that but definitely, Bayern Munich will surely take what they can get, but I am afraid they don't want other clubs to take their reigning seat as the champion, so they will do whatever it takes for them for other teams to not make any dent to their record and right now I think they accepted that Robert Lewandowski doesn't want to stay to them anymore, but they want a higher price in exchange for the greatest Striker of all time, the GOAT Robert Lewandowski is surely what rocks the Bundesliga and may rock the football world on other leagues, |

Yes, LeBron James is already near his retirement year but not now, maybe he'll play 2 more seasons before he decide if it's already his time. The thing that is preventing him to retire is he is still waiting for his son Bronny to be drafted and join the NBA, and that's also the reason why he chose not to re-sign with the Lakers management to be free agent so that he can move to teams where his son is playing.
In terms of championship rings, Steph Curry and LeBron James have now 4 rings and no doubt that Steph Curry will be ahead in that race soon and maybe he can also have more rings than Michael Jordan had.
Bronny James is not ready in my opinion he is in the 34th Rank nationally in his basketball career, if next year would still be the same for him then he is not really ready going forward to the NBA, and his father Lebron James is really nearing his retirement and could become almost 40 years by then, that could become very crucial for teams to sign him a contract because we all know that a person is just prone to injuries with that kind of age, and if Bronny James would not be playing on the NBA by that time, Lebron James would want a deal that if tea would get Bronny they can also get a Lebron James on their team, with a certain condition that he will not be talking about the amount of money as long as he gets to play Bronny on the same team, that could potentially get that team an amount of money if Lebron James could play for them,
We have no choice, we cannot make a bet because there's no game available, we just have to wait until the new season will officially start or the starte of the preseason because bookies already have a betting odds for the games available.
Well, he can have other sports that he can familiarize himself with, but if he only wants basketball to be the sport, yes going basketball leagues right now are USA's WNBA, Germany's BBL, Spain's Liga ACB, and LEB Oro, Chile's Liga National, and Chinese Taipei's P League that is ongoing on stake.com if you really want pure basketball sports, because we can surely make some discussions on certain sports if you would make your own thread, |

^^ Goodluck with your bet, I'm going to skip this one. I wanted to bet on Beterviev and I think that will not go to distance.
I think they are up next, Ramirez just knock out Nova in round five.
I'm not seeing Beterviev age as somewhat a big factor, it's just about the peak at 37 years old and if he smells blood here, for sure he will go for the killer and will try to score a KO.
Edit: It's over, Beterviev by KO in two rounds, that was quick.
This is insane, even I'm expecting Beterbiev will win via KO but I'm not expecting the fight will end so quick like this. A big punch from Beterbiev make Joe Smith Jr's body can't hold and continue the fight, this fight is similar like Inoue vs Donaire 2 that Inoue can KO'ed Donaire on the second round. Well, then the light heavyweight champion only Beterbiev and Bivol, of course they both will fight sooner or later.
I think Bivol shouldn't fight with Beterbiev and choose to rematch with Canelo first, if he win then he can fight with Beterbiev, if not Canelo will fight with Beterbiev. However it's too quick for Canelo to fight with Beterbiev if he won against Bivol.
In just an instant Joe Smith Jr. was down at first Smith Jr. is pretty much doing great in pressuring Beterbiev with his jabs, but Beterbiev's punches that go straight to his opponent's defense was truly the devastating thing about the power of Beterbiev, and the 1st round was a big round for Beterbiev, I really think that outbalance for Smith Jr. was the cause of Beterbiev strong punches, and on the 2nd round Beterbiev right now had a reaction from Smith Jr, just due to his jabs, Artur Beterbiev has a clean shot on Joe Smith Jr. that surely devastated Smith Jr. it was a clean win for Beterbiev no doubt about that, and Artur Beterbiev is truly a knockout artist, and surely every fight of Beterbiev I will put money on it,
I think Canelo had no business in the light heavyweight anymore, I mean it would be dangerous for him if he pursue his dream of dominating this division after what we witnessed on how King Arthur demolished Joe Smith easily.
Smith's mistake was standing toe-to-toe with the heavy-handed Beterbiev, he should have avoided that early onslaught if he opted to use his footwork and tired-up Beterbiev in the later rounds. Anyways, congrats to those who bet on the under 6.5.
BTW, Beterbiev is 37 years old, we may see him retire with an immaculate record with a perfect KO ratio, what do you think?
He should think twice before deciding something like that, and just like Joe Smith Jr. he would not surely last a decision result when he faces Beterbiev, because I think the same result will surely happen to him when they face each other, I don't really like Joe Smith Jr.'s strategy in engaging in a toe to toe fight against Beterbiev, it was a suicide mission every punch was like hitting a truck to the face, and Joe Smith Jr.'s strategy go out of the window after facing those devastating punch of Beterbiev, he was surely curious on what happened to him, and can not think smart anymore, I would love to see him retire with that perfect Knockout and flawless record he has now, but I would also love a fight that will surely see his limits in the light heavyweight division, well maybe going to the heavyweight will measure his limits, |

A really difficult fight, Cerrone has a series of losses and he is old, but he has practice in the ring, and Lauzon wants to return to the ring after such a long break, which is also very difficult. I can’t give a significant advantage to any fighter, but I think that two years without fights is a very big minus for a fighter, and that’s the only reason I will give preference to Cerrone, who should finally win.
Unfortunately, the fight was canceled due to Joe Lauzon, Leg Cramps he couldn't stand and walk so they need to carry him outside for the UFC doctors to check on him, and they have tried everything for the fight but yeah it was a Bummer, But if the fight continued it will be a very difficult choice on who could win, but having something before the fight was very difficult for Lauzon and he feels sorry for Cerrone and for all the fans, Fuck me. Daukas is my pie shitter of the week. I'm out. I'll watch the replay later.
Edit: Ok I lied, I'm still watching. Lol. And all of these fights so far have been great! This is a way better event than 275.
Pretty Much I am laughing the way you have said that, it was truly a great upset for the crowd favorite Kyle Daukaus was Knockout on the 1st round Roman Dolidze have rocked Daukaus with that sweet left hook, and a recovering Daukaus then got by that Knee to the face that really knocks him out, it was really a shitty fight if you bet for Kyle Daukaus,
Here are the Results for the UFC Fight Night Kattar VS Emmett Calvin Kattar VS Josh Emmett Decision Round 5 - LOSTThis is I say a very controversial fight, and I really don't agree about the judge's decision, definitely, Calvin Kattar should have won that fight but it was a very close fight and a very important fight for Calvin Kattar because if he wins this he can get a title shot on the fight between Volkanovski and Holloway but because of the judge bad decision the title shot could eventually go to Josh Emmett, I really think Sal D'Amato and Chris Lee didn't really judge correctly in my opinion, Donald Cerrone VS Joe Lauzon - CANCELLEDThe fight was canceled due to Joe Lauzon having leg cramps, which enables him to stand and walk but Joe Lauzon has given him sorry to Cerrone and the fans, here is his VIDEO explanation about what happened. Maria Oliveira VS Gloria de Paula Decision Round 3 - LOSTMaria Oliveira is a real powerhouse, the combination she has landed on de Paula was really giving her points, but I think Gloria de Paula becomes aggressive when she thinks she is behind on the score cards but surely another loss for me Maria Oliveira experience really proves that she is a caliber fighter than de Paula, |

Here is my pick for the UFC Fight Night Kattar VS Emmett highlight in green are my picks
Calvin Kattar VS Josh Emmett
Josh Emmett has the strength in his wrestling he could surely carry his opponent like a rug doll or simply he can surely finish the fight with a ground and pound, while Calvin Kattar can have the fight standing and technically fight you with striking, this is an interesting fight actually because this is going to be between a wrestler and a striker fighting, but I really like the style of Calvin Kattar, and he could surely technically crawl this fight until the 4th round because I think that will be the time that Josh Emmett will be gas out I don't really know if Emmett can last until the last round but surely Kattar can do that can end the fight in a different passion,
Donald Cerrone VS Joe Lauzon
Joe Lauzon is just returning to the UFC after 2 years of no fight, I really think that after these fight these 2 needs to retire, Cerrone looks really old, and right now he surely has 5 consecutive lost right now, while his opponent was a returning fighter after his fight from 2019, he hasn't seen inside the octagon again, but Lauzon had a great fight with Jonathan Pearce with a TKO that was his last fight on the UFC, and I think he can probably do that again, so I will be going with Joe Lauzon,
Maria Oliveira VS Gloria de Paula
I really think that this is an interesting fight, I think that Maria Oliveira has the strength but I don't see any technicality, and I guess it is really unpredictable in the woman's division, but I guess Gloria de Paula can go on a clinch and can also finish the fight with a submission, while Oliveira can sure fight but I think our fighting kitty is more well rounded than Maria Oliveira, so I will go with Gloria de Paula,

That's 100%, Butler is not even a better fighter than Donaire IMO, so there's no way he will beat Inoue, I see a KO in the early rounds. If Butler would choose to run, still the same result, it's still a Loss and the belt will be taken by Inoue for him to become an undisputed champion.
I Agree, and from that Naoya Inoue VS Nonito Donaire 2 fight many were really shocked that the match will end in the 2nd round, Many think that Donaire would last for longer rounds, and give us an amazing fight like the last time, but it's just that Naoya Inoue now is on a different level since their last fight, and from that 1st fight Donaire was down aswell, because of Inoue's body blows, but because of Nonito's determination during the fight he lasted until the fight ends, and it was a totally different fight from the last time, -snip-
I didn't say that Joe Smith Jr. will just be there to end Artur Beterbiev's KO streak without having a goal in mind to win the fight. Sorry for the confusion, as I said, Joe will go fighting while trying to survive Artur's ferocious punches (that could highly knock him out). Joe Smith have a shot for winning the fight while ending Artur's streak because he is more experienced than the latter and frankly he's more younger and that could give him an advantage in-terms of gas tank. Well, maybe I am the one who didn't really understand it but that is OK with me, I also think that Joe Smith Jr, has a game plan and is a more technical fighter than Beterbiev, but I can not say for sure if he has the high percentage of winning but he surely got a shot on doing it, so he better be ready for anything, and because of his much experience, I think he really got a game plan for Beterbiev, but I am not pretty much confident about Joe Smith Jr, winning over Beterbiev so Artur Beterbiev is my pick, |

Seeing Garcia's strength before he stopped for a while maybe this could still happen but on the other hand Fortune wouldn't let this go easy of course.
I personally prefer Garcia for now, especially with the confidence he displays, this really makes me quite sure of this fighter but indeed boxing sometimes has other surprises and we also won't rule out the possibility of surprises in this fight.
In my opinion, Javier Fortuna is the hardest fighter Ryan Garcia will fight, from Fortuna's 43 right now that is an experience that is surely legit, and just the minimum number of losses, of only 3, 2 No contest, and 1 draw, I think that is the experience of Fortuna that Garcia would need to look out for, but I have seen Ryan Garcia's strength from that skinny boy's body he can sure hit like a truck and that speed and technicality in him 18 Knockout, in 22 fights with no losses, is a great record, for a young guy, and I am pretty much impressed in his feat,
As much as we don't like Garcia's antics outside of the ring, this kid has a special talent. He just need to focus on it and try to sharpen out. Maybe he just need someone to mentor him, like Oscar, but know sure if Ryan will take it though. The Fortuna fight will be a good barometer and and measure if Ryan is back on boxing 100% or not. Because this should be an easy fight for him so we should see him at his best form and knock him out early.
Well, his antics are one thing about him, and because he has charisma I really think the influential world is making a ruckus about him, from the podcast of Logan Paul getting hit by Ryan Garcia well some people are loving it, but for me, I think I will ride the hype train that strength, in my opinion, is really legit, and this kid has a real future, he is like Naoya Inoue, because of that power in his fist, but he also has the speed and the technicality, and I really love it, but Fortuna is the real deal and he got to not underestimate him, |

Lebron James is getting older and has no old performance.
Stephen Curry will surpass Lebron in the number of championships.
We can say that Golden State has regained its strength, they are the favorites for the championship again next year. But next year I want to see Kevin Durant and Kyri Irving as champions.
Age is surely the issue for most athletes and their system couldn't catch up to them, even though they want to still play Basketball, or other sports or fight in the ring, it will be very difficult because their age is deteriorating their speed, senses, and strength, and there is no doubt that Stephen Curry is the new GOAT and may eventually pass the count of championship rings Michael Jordan have attained, He sure changed his body built so he won't be predictable on just shooting threes, he can now attack the paint and have a higher percentage to shoot the ball after a good dance (crossover) with his defender.  That's how stars are made, by being unpredictable and not making a monotonous play. Hesitation moves won't work if a defender already knew what you will do or where you are going. The other change he made is not dragging down his teammates on the defensive end, he became a good defender and did not rely on switches anymore which was the strategy in their first championship. It's still fresh to me how he denied Horford to receive the ball. Yep! that is why he is really enjoyable to watch the way he dances on the court and getting those defensive guys a hard time was really a treat, and we can really see why Stephen Curry change the game of Basketball forever, back in the day's Basketball was for the taller bigger guys has the reach advantage, and has the jumping power but Stephen Curry doesn't only have the talent on shooting threes, but his dedication proves that, |

I think the fight will boring since both of them rely on their good puncher and it will distance like you said, so we will only wait which one will fell down first. Emmet could get KO'ed since Kattar have a better chin.
I really don't think this fight will become boring from Josh Emmet's explosiveness it will be one rough fight for Calvin Kattar, but yeah the 1st round will surely set up their momentum and I think that Kattar is the more technical fighter here than Emmet, but Josh Emmet has the explosiveness to change the fight momentum and can pressure Kattar on the ground, and I really think this is not going the distance, in my opinion, it may just go 3 to 4 rounds, depending on who's aggressive and have the more advantage on the fight,
I wouldn't bet on this fight since it's very gambling to bet an inactive fighters moreover they don't have a good record. Both of them have a good power on ground, this will be close fight and probably the fight wouldn't longer than 3 rounds.
I really think this is a chance to win for Donald Cerrone, his opponent isn't active for 2 years, but yes we can not always rely on that both fighters are in their mid 30's so I really think this will be an interesting fight and a chance for Cerrone get a win and get his fight money, Yeah she is really beautiful, but I doubt Gloria de Paula can won. Maria Oliveria have a good strength to KO'ed her.
Most woman's fights are very unpredictable, even though maria Oliveira has the most experience, for me Gloria de Paula can put up a good fight, but with Maria Oliveira's Reach and height advantage this fight could have a possible high win rate for Oliveira, but Still de Paul will give her a fight she won't forget, However, our sexy fighting kitten has very much improved. She was defeated by a good sexy kitty fighter called Cheyanne Vlismas but she has also won her next fight versus Diana Belbita who is another good sexy fighting kitty hehehe. I speculate that uncle Dana will be giving pretty Gloria de Paula these very easy next fights for her to secure a winning streak. They want to help her career because fans like her.   I really think that she is improving from her previous fight that is why I say that she may give Maria Oliveira a hard time with her fight but really Oliveira got some advantages that we can not ignore, from her experience to her Reach and Height advantage it could be a wrap for de Paula, but I just believe in the strength of our fighting kittens to surely give their best so I am supporting Gloria de Paula on this one, |

Based on the odds, it seems the Beterviev is going to win it. Not sure how easy it is nevertheless, I don't think any significant advantage for Arthur except on the power and knock department.
It will be an accomplishment if Smith are going to survived and last the full 12 rounds.
But who knows, maybe Smith will have the experienced to dodge that power and give some himself because Beterviev hasn't seen any opponent in Smith's caliber.
Anything can happen inside the ring or in the fight, but I think the odds will surely not going to decide that Beterviev is the favorite one to win here, but in my opinion, I will go with Beterviev aswell, Artut Beterviev is a monster that is why, Joe Smith Jr. can go fight technically with Beterviev but the durability and strength of Artur Beterbiev is surely he legit one here, that is why I had bet on him to win a KO against Joe Smith Jr, this will be another win and another Knockout for Beterbiev no doubt about that,
That is a tough decision because as you said Artur Beterviev has a 100% knockout rate and chances are good that he can continue his streak but Joe Smith vowed in the past few days that he will end Artur's KO streak, so my guess will be same as you, the latter will go fighting while trying to survive Artur's ferocious punches. For now, that will remain a question until the announcer announces who will win the fight later but you might be right and the odds to win by decision are tasty too.
If that's the real goal of Joe Smith Jr, is to just end the Knockout streak of Beterbiev and that is not winning at all, and will surely make boxing fans salty about it, I still think Joe Smith Jr, will get the good stuff out of him and plan on taking the win aswell, by cracking in a lot of points for this fight, I truly don't want to believe that Joe Smith Jr, is just going to aim for the KO streak of Beterbiev, that is not what people kame to watch, they want a real war and they are watching this fight and liked Beterbiev style because he truly aims for the KO, and people like that craft about him, and for Joe Smith Jr, to ruined that legacy he is the true villain here, |

What a 2021-2022 season! After two years of pandemic, the NBA finally made it back to its regular set up with 82 games. Golden State Warriors was only ranked 3 in the western conference and yet they were able to climb the ladder and prove to everyone that a healthy Klay Thompson is all they need to continue their dynasty. And hats off to Stephen Curry for his well deserved finals MVP.
Just after the final game, the commentators reminded me that the Golden State Warriors now made it to the finals 6 times in 8 years and they were crowned champions 4 times. And then this came up to my mind. If Klay Thompson was not injured for nearly three years, was it really possible that they continued reaching the finals in straight 8 years? And their defeat to Toronto Raptors was because Klay Thompson and KD were injured otherwise they could've easily beaten Toronto in that series.
They could surely reach that and I think if they continue to nurture their new talents or players I think their potential will surely be unlocked and can get to the finals again, even if Klay Thompson, Stephen Curry, or Draymond Green is not around for 2 or 3 more years, players like Jordan Poole, Andrew Wiggins, Kevon Looney, Gary Payton II, or Jonathan Kuminga could step up to the occasion, but from the past years that the Warriors hasn't become champions because of certain injuries, they surely have rise up to get what they really deserve and looking forward for the next season, And that's also why Steph Curry was filled with emotion before the game ends and during the time the trophy was about to be given.
That cements the truth that the Warriors team is not about getting a star or filling the roster with stars, it's about teamwork without a doubt, unlike what their critics are trying to portray.
I think this is what critics are thinking.
2014-2015 - Warriors won because Kyrie was injured.
2015-2016 - They lose because Kyrie was healthy.
2016-2017 - They won because of Durant.
2017-2018 - Same as the former year.
2018-2019 - They lose because Durant was injured.
2021-2022 - I want to see what reason these critics will make to make it sound like they are still right.
This year is the sweetest win of all as it seals all the doubts. Steph is definitely one of the greatest of all time.
That emotion was legit after so much struggle and that injury in the play-offs the Warriors were not a complete team without Draymond Green, Klay Thompson, or Stephen Curry, aswell, but I think the drive for the Warriors was because of these three passion to rise to the occasion and the Confidence that Stephen Curry is showing when driving on the paint, that Tenacity and accuracy is what the players of the new generation are looking to do now, and Stephen Curry has solidified that he surely is a unique player through and through, and I also want to know what the critics would say about them aswell, they can not say because the Brooklyn Nets didn't win against the Boston Celtics, because I think the Boston Celtics really deserve that win because the play of the Brooklyn Nets is easily read by the Celtics, that is why the Playoffs Round 1 game against the Nets was sweeped by the Celtics,
Perhaps the 6 ring will be enough for Curry to accomplished in his career. He has 4 already, Jordan 6 so he needs 2 more. If he keeps being healthy then maybe he can tie the record and leave Kobe and Lebron. But as far as the GOAT in 3PT he has sealed in already, I think his record will stand the test of time. Regarding his body, he has improved a lot, he is so muscular now that he can absorb the force specially when he will go for a layup.
Right now the Boby build of Stephen Curry has tremendously changed, and yes he is more muscular now, gaining strength in pushing the drive inside, was really now easy for him, there could be some minor errors but the analysis is now proven that he is the real GOAT for the point guard, and shooting three's there is no doubt about that, |

Emmet is the popular badass and has been cheered by the crowd and that one jab from Josh Emmet has put down Mirsad Bektic on the ground that was 1 huge jab that stun Mirsad Bektic, that was one absolute win from Josh Emmet, and I really feel that Calvin Kattar will surely have a hard time and he surely admits it aswell that Josh Emmet is one tough opponent to crack, and he was right, Mirsad Bektic was knocked out on the 1st round, Sheesh! thanks for sharing this I am now seeing the big picture on how powerful Josh Emmet is,
Yup for his size he def hits hard. And look at the way he's built. Lol. But I still have Kattar and he's still at my top ticket even after weigh ins. So yeah, nothing has changed except Yanez go up one notch and Ramos goes down one notch aa Kelley missed weight.. I'm a tad more confident in Yanez now. Yup, even though Josh Emmet has the power and Strength feat I think Calvin Kattar can manage that, I think Kattar has the advantage when it comes to striking, but Emmet has the strength in Wrestling so Kattar needs to watch out for those takedowns, pretty much I am very curious in what may happen for this fight, and because of that I am so much excited which might prevail Josh Emmet Strength on wrestling or Calvin Kattar's precise striking and technical distance, Another fight that I am anticipating watching was Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone if he's able to win after his losses in his recent fights, or if Joe Lauzon can still make a worth from his 2 years not stepping inside the octagon, this is really interesting I think that with that experience and still active inside the ring can make an advantage against Lauzon, Another thing is the fighting Kitty Gloria de Paula is worth mentioning and if that beauty can take on Maria Oliveira who now has 12 wins that are out of her 17 fights while de Paula only got 10 fights with 6 wins on it, |

Of course, Emmet is a strong opponent and very dangerous, but Kattar is a fairly accurate fighter and knows how to keep his distance well.
Yup! I think Calvin Kattar will think of something to counter Josh Emmet like he always does, but surely Josh Emmet is one tough bastard to crack and the strength is surely the one that Kattar needs to look for and surely he has just thrown Scott Holtzman around the ring and controlling him with wrestling but I think Calvin Kattar is more technical but he will surely think of something, and men this is one great fight and I am surely curious on what can happen,
My contenders for fight of the night are Adrian Yanez vs Tony Kelley, Kevin Holland vs Tim Means and the main event Kattar vs Emmett.
Here's a free fight vid for Emmett just in case you guys don't know what kind of a fighter he is. The guy has power and starches people. It was surprising that Ige survived during their match. But then again Kattar looks to me like he has an iron cast chin, so it'll be interesting to see how these guys match up.

now, here are my pick for the upcoming game 6 between the Golden State Warriors VS Boston Celtics,
Boston Celtics VS Golden State Warriors (Warriors Lead 2 - 3)
I hope you win bro, I will share my picks tonight. As I always say, I think this will be the last game. Golden State will not want to go to Game 7. And just like that the NBA Finals is finished, I really thought that the Boston Celtics could still win and the event will reach until game 7 but it was really over so soon, but even if I lost the bet I am still happy with the result of the match the Golden State Warriors in 2022 NBA Finals champion and that is what I want and what I predicted, but I just really thought that the management really want the game to reach until game 7,
Boston Celtics VS Golden State Warriors (Warriors Champion 2 - 4) - LOSTLost this game bet but I am still happy that the Golden State Warriors won the championship, I really thought that the game will reach until game 7, and the Boston Celtics really are doing well in the 1st quarter, but Stephen Curry just wants the game to be finish right now, Al Horford was really amazing taking a double-double performance of 14 rebounds and 19 points, while Jayson Tatum just got 13 points, and Jaylen Brown has 34 points, leading the Boston Celtics score, but it was not enough with the Warriors Draymond Green and Klay Thompson both have 12 points while Green got a double-double of 12 rebound and 12 points, while Jordan Poole got 15 points, Andrew Wiggins got 18 points and the main man Stephen Curry got 34 points making their 4th champion in the NBA history, it was really a celebration and congrats to the Golden State Warriors, |

In my personal opinion, I am thinking that Bayern Munich will be one of the strongest teams in the German league and I think that it will be an icon in the UCL, especially considering that Real Madrid will come for new players after the World Cup and I know that the Germans will have a great season, however some think that the Bayern era is over, I think that in the UCL if they had beaten Villareal they would have been the champions, many friends who are from Real Madrid think the same as me, the Bayern Munich is on another level.
All Baryern players understand each other and know when they can make their moves, I really admire German football because they are very calculating.
Well, right now they really are on another Level with Lewandowski is still on their team, I personally think that Bayern Munich is truly one of the big teams in the German League football, and without Lewandowski, on the team, they are still the best team there is and I really think that Bayern Munich will not get a player that doesn't have potential at all, they can get certain players that they will need for their team and even though Robert Lewandowski leaves the team the team are still a solid one, but may struggle a bit, The truth is, if Lewa arrives, he would make a great contribution to the team in general, which he needs quite a bit. If Lewa agrees to go to Barcelona, he may experience Spanish football, which has a high level, but in retrospect, Barcelona has enough budget to go there. ? I really doubt it, in the case of Xavi he would look for other alternatives.
Barcelona right now are doing ways to keep their team afloat, they are getting players that they can afford, but the number 1 player that they really want is not in their reach right now, Bayern Munich recently increases Robert Lewandowski's price, so other teams would have a hard time getting him, they surely wants a big profit if Robert Lewandowski leaves the club, Yep, reportedly Madrid have approached the club about this player but maybe now the price that can be said to be expensive can be one of the problems for Madrid now.
But this player is really good. I think he plays very well in attack and also in defense because if I look at his performances last season he was always active and working to secure in defense and always in attack when attacking. at his age he is another promising young player.
Many Surely want Bundesliga players more than ever, and I think Jude Bellingham is one prospect that you don't want to miss, and he is one of a few players that really put Dortmund's balance their winning when Erling Haaland can not play and has injuries, While on the other hand, Jude Bellingham is one of the nominees for the Golden Boy awards among Gio Reyna and Jamal Musiala, I really think that Bellingham really deserves this, he is a youngster that surely has a lot of Potential |

ML for the Warriors then? hehehe. I haven't bet on the game yet except for players props, and hopefully. I got lucky again just like the last time. But yeah, why not go for ML which is a good odd to begin with. In game 4 the Warriors are the huge underdog and yet they win for us, to make the series 2-2. They really have to close out the Celtics here and I'm seeing Curry coming back to have another great performance in Boston Garden. Pretty Much the odds are for the Boston Celtics at stake.com the odds were 1.60 for the Celtics while 2.40 for the Warriors pretty much the management doesn't want the Final match to end on just game 6 there might be a game 7 so they can get many revenues, as for the Warriors I think they really want to end this game so much but it will not be an easy task to take on the Boston Celtics and they know that, but it might get to game 7 well in my opinion, if the sales are high they will surely squish that money for 1 more game, but this is just a theory,
now, here are my pick for the upcoming game 6 between the Golden State Warriors VS Boston Celtics, Boston Celtics VS Golden State Warriors (Warriors Lead 2 - 3) Stake odds for this game are 1.60 for the Celtics while 2.40 for the Warriors, This could be an interesting match, it could be a championship for the Warriors or a tied game for the Boston Celtics, right now people really think that the Boston Celtics can still get through many surely believe that the match can still make it up to game 7, and I surely believe it as well, I am a fan for the Golden State Warriors, and I really think that they will be this finals champions but I think the Boston Celtics can still break through so I am going with the Celtics this time, |
