In case anyone missed it

Posted by Professor Hippity Hop on June 17, 2022, 11:14 am

I know nobody really cares in the softball world but in case anyone missed it

Golden state Warriors won it all last night to the dismay of all the idiots on ESPN and all the other naysayers

Excuses are flying already about having an easy path and injuries to all the other teams blah blah blah blah

Its the NBA. Could not careless.

82 games of teams giving 0 effort on defense and stars sitting out half of the games for "load management"

All to have the same teams win it all every year. The NBA is a terrible product.

Lebum, Giannis and Pascal would like to have a conversation at the Cincy Bar in a few weeks

Best athletes in the world by measure of the scale not doubt! Shape, size, speed, quickness, strength, feel, motor, and hand eye coordination. I love all sports basically but as far as a 5 tool athlete, none compare. Btw Im a Boston fan, just didn’t have enough weapons.

Boston going to have to back up the Brink's truck to pay their big 3. Smart is solid but not a true PG, Jaylen Brown is ridiculous, and Tatum is long / super athletic.

Both those Williams are very good too, Tito Horford had his chance but he's done and could be a good bench player to end his career.

I hadn't followed the NBA since Lebron left Cleveland but I ended up going to about 6 Cavs games this year and I have to say the product was great.

The shooting, ball handling, passing, and basketball IQ's are at all time highs which opens up the game.

Hoping Lebron comes back to Cleveland, he would be the perfect fit for a team on the edge of something that could be good.

Smart played like my ol buddy Buck use to say “garbage juice” you know the stuff that leaks out of the garbage bags while sitting in the smoldering hot sun lol” that play he got hit in nuts and Step hit that 3 I know it was over. Brown is good early as with Tatum, but brown can’t hit free throws late and Tatum all but disappeared in the 4q in this series. Both him and Brown had 10 turnovers on average in the 4 games they lost. When GS is up with 8 or so with a minute left it’s over because they have 3 guys shorting 90 plus percentage at free throw line. They might have the best shooting team I’ve ever seen! And they play defense and get after it.

Most basketball players couldn't even hit a softball let alone a baseball.

You want Lebron DW, simple, all you have to do is draft his kid as he is on the record saying that is his dream. Now how cool would that be if it were the Cavs? :-)

PS - LOVE the shows, you (and the others) are doing GREAT work. Everyone seems to know their role and David is a pretty good host. And yes, I did perk up when Joel started with the special sauce bats then he went WAY left and I got lost, sometimes happens when he gets on a roll! LOL

Cleveland is on the rise and won't be in the lottery unless they are willing to sell the house to move up. Bronny on his name alone in two years will be a lottery pick for sure.

Not a lot of players in any sport can transfer over their skills to another sport and be halfway decent.

Maybe a two sport star like: R Wilson, K Murray and a few others in todays game. Back in the day we had Bo, Primetime, etc...

Go way back there was Dave Winfield, Dave debusher Danny ainge,

Sh@@ even in softball there are few that can catch a football and shoot a mid range too. It ain't easy being well rounded in all three big sports.

Useless knowledge fact for those that care and I am sure there are tons just like this one. Walter Watts (Utah) was a three sport star. Ute's, Twins and Raiders, unreal talent that never got to the next level may he RIP

Dave Winfield: Winfield was drafted in three different sports. In 1973, the Hawks took him in the NBA Draft (the Utah Stars also picked him in the ABA Draft); the Vikings took him in the NFL Draft (he hadn't even played college football); and, of course, the Padres took him in the MLB Draft.

And you didn't mention Primetime? :-)

But seems there are a few college bball players that made the transition in the last 20 yrs (to name a few):
Antonio Gates
Tony Gonzalez
Jimmy Graham
Julius Peppers
Martellus Bennett

Too bad Jordan couldn't hit! lol

You might want to watch an NHL game one time, talk about, hand eye coordination, quickness size and strength and they do it all on a razor thin blades at 20-30 mph while their opponent is trying everything to obstruct them. Can’t even compare it to a simple battle under the boards. These guys are the real athletes.

Never watch NHL and like I said before all sports have athletics. As for athletes, I’ll take NBA player for player.

Swinging and hitting anything is more athletic than throwing a ball into a hoop.

Wrong and it’s not even close. What baseball player at the highest level is a better athlete than step curry? Size, speed, quickness, agility, hand eye coordination, touch and feel, and also endurance. I’ve played them both at a high level and pound for pound 5 tool. There the best plain and simple. If you ask any professional they would rather be a basketball player than anything else. Most were lacking 1 or 2 of the 5 tools to make that level. If I were to be one it would be baseball it’s a lot easier on the body and the pay is crazy high.

They rather get paid like a sissy basketball player I'm sure. . Bo Jackson and Deion could play basketball I'm sure of it. And "step" curry isn't as athletic as either one of them. Sorry bub

Dude chill out and push your wagon down the road. Nobody gives a ####, and what does the president have to do with this you dumb ass? Also With you pushing a cart around you don’t have to worry about gas lol. Your prob a little angry dude, will a little man syndrome. As for me, I was a athletic American in college but again what does that have to do with anything? You sound like the softball guy on the espn take, that got cut when he was little and would have been a professional if your coach liked you. Lol bro chill out and read the board and don’t mistake the bull for the cow like in the movie, “kingpin”. Lmfao I do love that Amish movie. As for skates lol I don’t have a clue hell today where I’m from it was 117 heat index there ain’t no reason to have skates lol. “Cool runnings” was a good movie about people with skates on. We could bring up ping pong and bad mitten as well lol. Jesus the facts done got touchy. I’m done night night lol.

Golden St - Boston Celtics neither of these teams would've won 1 game against the old Lakers, Celtics , Philadelphia 76's,Milwaukee Bucks, Seattle SuperSonics.
There is very little defense and no inside game anymore. I will say in todays NBA Golden St. is a dynasty. Their shooting is above and beyond the others and players like Green make them tough to beat.

I hate the NBA, its a terrible product.

However compared to the teams hes talking about, LeBron would have averaged 100 points a game against a bunch of skinny dudes who looked like substitute teachers. People in the 90s struggled to guard 6 6 210 Jordan....imagine what 6 8 260 LeBron would do?

These are the same idiots who think Babe Ruth is the best baseball player ever. If he was alive today he would be playing E slow-pitch

If we are diving deep into the products all three majors are terrible to the yesteryear.

Baseball is a mess that I won't waste any of my time watching anymore.

Football has become borderline touch/flag football.

Of the three majors I still enjoy basketball much more than the other two.

Baaaaaddddd boooooyyyyysssssss!! Mahon would've kicked the shit out of lebron. Lebron=soofffttt

Re: In case anyone missed it

Posted by Turd on June 24, 2022, 8:01 am, in reply to "Re: In case anyone missed it "

Neither here nor there but LeBron still much bigger and stronger than that dude.

I know old people think everything in their day is much better. The pistons might have been able to push around dudes built like librarians and DMV workers...

Re: In case anyone missed it

Posted by Amish on June 24, 2022, 2:37 pm, in reply to "Re: In case anyone missed it "

Sorry it's not the same game anymore. The foul's nowadays wouldn't have been fouls then. I'm just saying Mahorn would've smacked lebum. Don't get me started on what Bill L. Would've done to these mushy brains nowadays. Jordan will always be the best.
