2024 NBA Season

[ChiBitCTy]

I don't know if anyone saw this, but Lebron James was not to thrilled with the recent poll that came out that was asking who the best player in the NBA is and the only two players receiving votes were Giannis and Kevin Durant.  Lebron of course is using this a fuel to his fire for the upcoming season but I ask you guys..who is the best player in the NBA? 

My personal pick would be Kevin Durant.  I think right now if I had to pick one player, he would be my go to guy.

I'd definitely agree with you on that, Durant showed how great he is last season, he is probably in his prime now and Lebron can't beat his team if they are playing healthy. The reason why they are the favorite to win the Championship next season and the Lakers are just behind them.

Lebron is an all-around player, but lately, it's Durant's impact on the floor that is more appealing to me.

This is also my personal opinion, we have a different opinions because we are biased since we vote based on our emotions.

Where will you be this Christmas? The NBA has blessed us with a Nets vs Lakers Christmas Day game and I’m very happy. I don’t know exactly what I’ll be doing for Christmas this year, but it will likely include a couple hours in front of the TV grabbing a preview of this year’s NBA Finals matchup. I haven’t been this happy about a Christmas matchup since the old Shaq vs Kobe days.

They've been doing this for us the whole time. Giving us a good matchup on Christmas day so that maybe we can watch together with our relatives who is also a NBA Fan too.

I will be at our house on Christmas Day as always and I will watch this game. A preview of the possible NBA Finals indeed (just hope that it will not be spoiled by injuries). The Big 3 of the East Vs. The Big 3 of the West. Its August right now but I'm excited to watch this game already. I might bet on this game too .

Did anyone posted already about Lebron about has just joined the billionare's club? I just saw this on other post but searched for its article that was written already a month ago.

Yeah, the Lakers vs the Nets match definitely should be interesting, although it's too early to make assumptions about who will be able to win this game. By the way, it's funny that the Lakers have been playing every year on Christmas Day, and it looks like this year they will play on the home court again.

Yeah, I love that James name are not included, maybe those who didn't vote for him thinks he is already on specially last year wherein they were ousted by the Suns in the playoffs.

I love this because James has been taking offense on this, and he said that he wants this kind of "criticism" so that it will get fuel to him and the Lakers. Because him and the Lakers received a lot of backlash when they sign old and not on their prime already players like Melo and Howard and others. And this makes him angry, so I expect a different Lebron this upcoming season.

Kyrie versus Lebron. The fake brothers as of Kyrie.
The difference, he has KD who had performed great at the Olympics telling us the Achilles injury is nothing to be worried about anymore and then he has Harden too. Yes, it is going to be an exciting match up.

Light the fire. Let's see if this year's Lebron James will be different than the last. Sure he is one of the best players in the league but I will also vote for KD.
That guy is a walking scoring machine.

Every year, NBA is always arranging a big match-up every Christmas Day. That alone is the reason why Lebron James also has a record of having big games during Christmas day because he's always part of it.

Instead of Phoenix Suns vs Milwaukee Bucks, NBA still chooses the popularity of the Nets and Lakers players.

Not a big issue but at least teams in the previous finals should always have a rematch during Christmas Day as it was supposed to be like the Cavaliers vs Warriors saga before.

Perhaps its because of the big hype around Lakers and the Nets, that's why the NBA decided to step aside the Bucks vs Suns match. We all know that NBA is a business, they have to push for the biggest spectacle.

At least as fans, its going to be big this Christmas day, watching the games with your families and having some fun.

Even not on Christmas Day, and scheduled for other dates, Nets vs Lakers will still be big. At least they should give chance for the finalists the last Finals to play on Christmas Day as part of the recognization of their performance last season.

Phoenix and Bucks fans at least expect that they will allow it happened but it turned out not. Maybe next time if one of them will reach the Finals again although I don't see Phoenix Suns will make it for the 2nd time consecutively.

At full strength, nobody can beat us. I'm just going to leave it at that.

^ James harden on what his expectation for next season. He may sound arrogant to others with that statement but he's got a good point. What's more important is they can definitely back it up. The problem though is the probability of having a full strength team the entire season is slim. I would still take them over a 100% Bucks.

Harden has no problem with injuries and Durant looks like he is also good to go. If there will be another injury to both of them it will be an accident.
Kyrie Irving though is fragile. That shoulder injury keeps on getting back and it became a problem for Cleveland, Boston and even the Nets last year to be on their top performance with him sitting on the bench.
But the Nets patched that up by adding another ball handler. Patty Mills. So yeah, I think Harden is just showing how confident he is about his team.

However the reality is that these kids who are 18-19 year olds have seen bitcoin existed during half of their lives, they were 8-9 years old when bitcoin was created, and it grew so much larger when they were teenagers as well, when they were 15 or so bitcoin had a super increase, and when they were 17-18 years old it had another super increase this year as well. So they have seen it during their young lives. Plus Dinwiddie from Nets turned his salary into bitcoin once as well, so not like this is the first time it happened neither.

You are right, I agree with you on this.
People are afraid of things they don't know about. But young players know a lot about bitcoin. They are in the internet world every day and they can see how cryptocurrencies are developing

They are aware that they can earn a lot of money in the future with this investment

He should just keep it on himself. Kind of lifting the chair right away where in fact he has a good caliber set of teammates so obviously they have the upper hand against the majority of NBA teams.

If he says that during his Rockets tenure, maybe I will praise his fighting spirit. No bearing to say that currently with the current roster of Brooklyn Nets.

Well then, goodluck and hope not just them but all teams will be healthy and at full strengths so that no questions and doubts about those teams that will reach the finals next season.

Well, he still tried to keep his comment on the low. Let's give him that

If he said the same thing while he was at Houston, I would have seen that as hype because I never considered them as the best team there even with the addition of CP3.

Well then, goodluck and hope not just them but all teams will be healthy and at full strengths so that no questions and doubts about those teams that will reach the finals next season.

Yup, we don't want to see players complaining about tight schedule, injuries, and all other excuses/whining.

I agree with them being healthy, the Nets will definitely be a sure fire top seed in the East.

They've showed that they can blend already, during the regular season and in the playoffs. It's that the injury are going to kill their chances if just one of the big 3 gets injured along the way. The same way with the Lakers, Lebron and AD are not 100% in the playoffs, imagine if they are in full strength against the Suns in the first round, the outcome might be different. So let's hope that the coming season, Nets will be healthy so that it will be a good battle for the number 1 spot in the East. And let's see how instrumental Harden will be.

I can also say the same, though I also seen this as a good marketing strategy either for the Nets alone or for the whole NBA bringing your chair up means you need to put your words into it.

And that's very interesting, seeing him back with his old form back when he's with the Houston, playing with his two pals who are part of the tops scorers in this league.

They needed to bring the hypes back and expect that those who oppose will also watch them out waiting for them to fail.

That's where the money, gamblers that will bet against them and those haters that will be forced to watch PPV just to see them losing.. Hahaha..

NBA market update - Two teams are currently battling for a possible acquisition of Paul Millsap. I'm talking about Brooklyn and Golden State. The two teams would have expressed their interest in the 36-year-old. However, it seems to be a complicated operation for both of them. The Nets have 16 players on their roster at the moment and they already have Blake Griffin and James Johnson - or even KD - in that specific role. As for the Warriors, they have 13 players with guaranteed contracts. Nemanja Bjelica landed in the "Bay" this summer, but Millsap could add some skill to the bench.

As far as i know, only 16 players are allowed in one team, so I doubt that Brooklyn Nets will take Paul in their roster. Perhaps the Warriors might have a chance to have him because of his experience. But there are also reports that Lakers are also interested on him. At least this veteran will have a chance to play in the NBA again with high caliber teams.
