With a loss against the Pelicans in the play-in, the Kings have been eliminated from the 2024 NBA championship contention.

After getting burned by Heat Culture, the Bulls now can maybe choose a direction for the franchise.

What is a shot (could have gone in, could have been missed) that would have the biggest effect on the future if it were reverse?

For me Ray Allen misses that G6 shot vs Spurs. Lebron is then 1-3 in finals, probably trade Bosh, maybe he never goes to Cleveland.

KD shot vs Bucks in 2021 playoffs. If his foot was behind the line, Giannis never wins a ring, KD likely makes a finals and has a strong chance of winning, changing the KD legacy narrative.

Robert Horry 3 vs Sacramento. If that ball isn’t tipped out, there is a major chance LA dynasty looks a lot different.

3 of the top 5 players in my opinion are from Europe and the top rookie is from Europe. Just had me curious to why it seems like Europeans are becoming the big names in the NBA

Is it Jamal Murray?

Thats the best name I could come up with; is there anybody better than him that never made either team?

1. Bobby Fischer - Wilt Chamberlain: Both Fischer and Chamberlain were towering figures in their respective fields during their era. Fischer's dominance in chess mirrored Chamberlain's dominance on the basketball court. They were both ahead of their time, setting records and standards that seemed untouchable for years to come.

2. Anatoly Karpov - Larry Bird: Karpov and Bird were known for their exceptional skill and strategic approach to their games. While not flashy, they were highly effective and fundamentally sound. Their consistency and ability to outmaneuver opponents with precise moves and shots made them legends in their sports.

3. Garry Kasparov - Michael Jordan: Kasparov and Jordan were both iconic figures who transcended their sports. Known for their relentless competitiveness and attacking style, they dominated their respective fields and became the face of their sports for generations to come. Their ability to elevate their game in crucial moments set them apart from their peers.

4. Vladimir Kramnik - Hakeem Olajuwon: Kramnik and Olajuwon were masters of technique and finesse. Known for their impeccable footwork and strategic brilliance, they outclassed opponents with their skill rather than raw athleticism. They were admired for their elegance and ability to win through precision and mastery of their craft.

5. Vishy Anand - Tim Duncan: Anand and Duncan were consummate professionals known for their humility and versatility. They excelled in all aspects of their games, blending athleticism with strategic intelligence. Their understated demeanor belied their immense talent, earning them the respect of peers and fans alike.

6. Magnus Carlsen - LeBron James: Carlsen and James are both universally recognized as among the greatest of all time in their respective fields. They possess a rare combination of athleticism, skill, and basketball (chess) IQ. While occasionally criticized for minor weaknesses, their sheer dominance and ability to impact the game in every facet make them legends in their own right.

7. Ding Liren - Chris Paul: Ding Liren and Chris Paul are known for their meticulous approach and defensive prowess. They excel in orchestrating their team's strategy and controlling the flow of the game. Despite their smaller stature compared to some of their counterparts, they compensate with intelligence, precision, and the ability to make those around them better players.

The power forward’s tenure with the 76ers is expected to end once their postseason run concludes. Several NBA executives believe there’s a chance he’ll land with the Detroit Pistons in free agency. But there are several other teams interested in the 13th-year veteran with career averages of 16.3 points and 6.2 rebounds.

Keith Pompey has mostly truthful reporting. He was on top of PJ Tucker coming here well before it was allowed (hence, why Philly got fined for signing him), as well as being on top of the Kyle Lowry stuff. Sounds like Tobias is frustrated, and wants to put up empty stats on a bad team that will pay him what he wants.

2021: 27.3/4.5/5.6 22 games

2022: 23.3/4.4/4.8 10 games

2023: 33.7/7.2/4.8 11 games

2024: ???

Year 4 of playoff Book, LFG

I didn’t buy the game this year, but I’m thinking of grabbing it cheap.

If I did, it would be to play as a MyPlayer at the 4 alongside Wemby at the 5. Or maybe as a PG alongside Wemby. Being that the game came out at the beginning of the year, idk if they made him as good as he should be or if this is as fun as I think it might be.

Thoughts from those who tried it?

This is like Christmas in April!

20 hours of basketball. Clear my schedule! Saturdays got some great games…Lakers/Denver in the first round! I’m even excited for Cavs/magic. Knicks/Sixers should be good. Sunday too with Bucks/pacers and Mavs/clippers.

Woot!
