2024 NBA Season

[bestcoins1]

Many players change quickly in the NBA today either for $ or for the ring. It would be interesting to see what other teams may offer once Jokic becomes eligible in a couple of years and if he remains healthy and still plays high quality BB.

Damn, situation with Zion Williamson is much worse than i thought, he will be out  for 6-8 weeks due meniscus surgery. I thought he will miss maybe week or two, but this is way more serious. Bad luck to start professional career this way.

We have to wait even longer to see Zion debut in the regular season. Zion has suffered several injuries since the Pelicans chose him in June. First, he left his Summer League debut in July after playing nine minutes, with a bruised left knee. Everything became more serious before the final of the New Orleans Preseason on October 18 against the New York Knicks.

This is the first, I think the Pelicans should look it as a consideration of reducing Zion's weight or else this kid would be an injury prone player. He can't last the league with just brute Force alone, he needs to have a conditioned body to make his career longer.

Good thing that he is only out for 6-8 weeks, and I think he will learn from his mistake.

The problem with the Pelicans is they have no other player that they can rely on, so this rookie is so pressure to deliver.
Usually Rookies showed their very best especially that he is the first pick, the expectation is really high and if the management is satisfied, he will get a good money in return, I am thinking,, if he will not be too aggressive, his future contract might be at risk also, if he will be aggressive his health might be at risk, he needs to choose.

Just a Game 1 though. But still, surely they will show us a close match since key players of both teams are there.

Current Moneyline odds:
LAC@2.21 / LAL@1.68 (Sportsbet)
LAC@2.26 / LAL@1.68 (NitrogenSports)

Still nice if you vote for LAC. That's Kawhi Leonard and anything can happen in basketball. And besides, even without PG the lineup is so good.

Anyway, thoughts on this one?

MJ on Steph Curry:

“Still a great player. Not a Hall of Famer yet, though. He’s not.”

I am not going to bet on them against the Lakers with PG.
maybe we can take that discussion in the NBA betting thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5091185.1440

That's a challenge of Curry, he need to take his team now to the Championship to prove the doubters, he is already a GOAT IMO, and I think he can be a hall famer as he still has a lot of games to play and every season we see some improvement.

MJ has a higher standard than most of us, that's the only reason I can think of why he said that. If we can only find out who he thinks as a Hall of Famer now then we can make a better comparison.

Tonight there is a big game in Los Angeles between Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers, I'm exciting to watch this game! It's about glory about who dominate the town is't yellow or white, both teams have great players, Lakers have the big LeBron James and Anthony Davis and other stars.. In the other side there is Leonard Khawi and other stars.. It will be a great game and I think Lakers will be the winner.

You mean Lakers.. right?
Lebron and Davis are the biggest starts in the NBA now, their team is so hype as played together which both have already showed they have the skills to bring the team to a different level. Lebron have proven himself many times, let's consider him a great player already and Davis though per individual stats he has an impressive one but he is looking for a chance to not just play in the first round but to be in the NBA finals, and pairing with Lebron gives him a better chance.

Going back to tomorrow's game, Lebron and Davis will play, while Leonard and PG (out).
it is suppose to be fun if both stars of Clippers are healthy, but let's just say they have williams to show up tomorrow, but I am still with the Lakers here.

In the other side there is Leonard Khawi and other stars..

Should be willams as I've mentioned above.

The legend has spoken and he's entitled with his opinion because he's been in the league and achieved a lot of things. I don't disagree nor agree with what he said, it's an opinion from him and we should respect that.

We see Curry as a great player so do MJ does. There's something that MJ is expecting from Steph and I think he has to achieve or show it first before MJ put him on the list.

Both teams do not have the complete cast because of injury but I guess it will still be very interesting to watch. I will still be watching and will be betting on Lakers this time because PG13 won't be playing tonight.

MJ on Steph Curry:

Technically he is correct. He is not a HOF, YET. He is a great player and will be HOF someday.

It's whom MJ thinks the Hall famer indeed before we can say why he thinks that Steph still not in he's criteria, looking to this statement from the Airness, A big motivation for Steph to show more and to prove he's worth in the eyes of the supreme hierarchy.

MJ is always be the criteria in terms of basketball supremacy.  A good take for Steph will make him more humble and keep improving his legacy.

It has to do with a longevity thing.  Steph is hands down a 1st ballot HOF if he keeps playing the way he does.  He has the nba titles, mvp, scoring titles, 50/90/40 % behind him...the list goes on.  1 more pick away and the knicks would have had him...woulda could shoulda

I feel like we have talked about Zion and his weight waaaay too much and forget that this guy was the only hope for Duke last season (even though they end up losing) so he was overused and he got injured and maybe he just couldn't recover properly without a decent doctor.

Remember health is a very expensive and rarely found commodity in USA so having the best doctors and being able to pay for it was never an option for a kid like Zion. Now, he is in Pelicans and they have awesome doctors that they pay a ton of money for and maybe they checked him and said "this is not a new injury, you need to have a surgery and rest before you can play again" so he doesn't force it even more. I feel like 50% chance it is due to his weight but 50% chance it was due to him not being able to recover properly from his previous injuries and still playing with it which made it worse so smallest thing looked like it lead to surgery.

Come on, we all know that MJ isn't playing with those technicalities. He is implying that he wanted to see more from Steph and if I were to read Jordan's mind, it's probably being clutch. We are all aware of MJ's clutch perfomances in all the NBA finals he's played and Steph isn't on that level yet.

That was MJ's point of view so I will let it that way. I don't mind if he's looking for "something" to Steph. Anyways, it shouldn't be a big deal, it's just that the interviewer laugh when MJ says it lol.

And generally, Steph doesn't need to comply with MJ's criteria or to anyone. He just needs to play wise and hard. That's why I like the competition of NBA today, no stacked teams (I didn't consider LA's team as stacked) and talents are spread. If Warriors will able to acquired this seasons' Larry O'Brien Trophy, at any chance, with only Steph as their main gunner, I believed he will be more recognized as one of the greats. No Durant, No Thompson, just him and his good role players teammates, definitely a road to HOF for him.

A hall of famer is the only person that has great criteria for judging another player and MJ is that person. He said that Curry isn't yet a HOF, then we need to respect that. Can you name shooters that became HOF? Is Ray Allen HOF?

The legend has spoken and he's entitled with his opinion because he's been in the league and achieved a lot of things. I don't disagree nor agree with what he said, it's an opinion from him and we should respect that.

I agree, opinion is an opinion. I somewhat disagree since Curry have won 3 rings already since it also a great addition for him to enter HOF, but it's in a form of a superteam. Unlike Jordan, he's with Scottie.

By those standards no one will ever reach the hof then.  We can all agree if mj isnt the goat he is top 3 without a doubt.  Just because someone isnt on jordans level is not a knock and doesnt mean they dont belong in the HOF.  It can be argued we might never see anyone dominate like mj did in his prime.  He isnt the bottom standard he is the golden standard

Is the question relevant to MJ's statement? I don't see it as connected to my statement and I don't know why you brought that up.

Watched this in youtube when a notification popped up on my smartphone.
Yes he aint a Hall of Famer yet.
Why? He aint retiring for a lot of years. The guy is still young. But he is a future Hall of Famer.
Curry changed the way basketball could be played. Something which is being mostly used by now.
Name it, Harden, Lillard and even the young guns shooting at a range which before we thought was an impossible shot or just based on luck.
Even the tall guys are doing it. Not just a paint player anymore but doing all around and shooting threes.

Maybe in the next 5 years he will be listed there.

Scottie pippen is a top 50 players of all time, him and scottie WERE part of a super team.  I dont think you realize how good scottie was.  Same goes with magic or bird or a ton of other players.  They just didnt call them super teams back then.
