The next big star that it is rising is Antetokounmpo and when the King will retire he will be the best player in the world.

No doubt that Antetokounmpo will be the next king, he is still young and it's expected that he will improved more.
His length and athleticism is going to make him dominant going forward to this career as an NBA player.
This guy can also carry a team, he does not have all star teammates like the warriors so it's pretty clear that he has the talent.

Currently rank as the no. 1 team in the East and I believe he will dominate the East if he will stay.

I can see him being the next king as well since he has a team he is comfortable with now and is the big man in the center.
Where he likes to be.
The bucks will be making noise all the way to the playoffs this season if they can continue their run now that the all star week is done with and they can get back to business with the remaining games left to play.
He will have lebron looking at him while the lakers will be on vacation come the conference finals.

He will just need to avoid injuries like how Lebron did it.
Minor injuries will be fine but not like knees and ankles injury. It will take a lot to his stats and also might affect his mental state.
But at his figure for just an average body, I think he might make it work for a lot of years.

If he gets this championship then the confidence will reach the roof and it might also be the way for Bucks to get new players to help him out.

I would rather prefer on having that high percentage offense yet you would able to feel the thrill on how teams do rush in to score rather than on having an airtight defense which it actually turns out to be a boring thing for me.

That's what fans are looking for, they want a more offensive game because it will result to a high scoring game and in this league
those who are good in scoring are the only players that are recognize but they forgot that it requires a team for a win to win, defenders and good rebounders are underrated in this league to be honest.

Quote from: milewilda on February 19, 2019, 06:48:00 PM

Well, if everythings would be balanced then its really interesting to see but about on that triple digit scores then it is already a usual stuff for NBA fans nowadays.

Player will just play according to what they are comfortable with, if the league wants to see a balance offense and defense, they have to revise the rules in calls.

WTF is 178 to 164? I understand its a fun night and all but coming from "wade broke kobe's nose on all-star" and "Lebron tried to block kobe but mamba dunked anyway" into the age where the game ends 178 to 164 just simply SUCKS. I grew up watching Indiana and pistons basketball, spurs shutting everyone down, games ending under 100 points all the time, pistons keeping their opponents under 80 points 7+ times in a row.

Now, don't get me wrong I love the game to death and I don't want to change the whole game we play but at least all-star weekend could be a bit better. For the first time in almost a decade I did not stayed up to watch the game and honestly I am not regretting it at all.

The "three point" contest had 7 people in it and they all shot 25 shots in total, that comes down to 150 shots total, the all-star game itself had 169 three points tried, think of a game that has more three points shot than the three point contest itself, I love three pointers but that is tooooo much.

Yep I agree, watching that game is like watching a 3 point contest. A few years ago, it was all dunks and no defense, now it's all long range shots (or very long range) and still no defense.
Disappointing.

Lets just accept the fact that the game of NBA basketball has changed so much that they care less in the defensive end and focus more on the offensive power. If we all notice, every game, and every team, win or lose, they all end up in a triple digit score. It's rare to see a team who didn't reach atleast a hundred points. That clearly explains that the players doesnt play hard on defense.
IMO, its nice to see a high percentage offense, but its always the best if we see a game with an air tight defense.

It is really difficult to think what he can accomplished, I'm sure everyone will agree that the boy is still not yet in his prime but he can do a lot of things that a lot of veterans took years to accomplished. One thing he really needed is a good players, role players that's willing to sacrifice so that they reach the finals this year (hopefully).

Without any deeper help he will be disappointed even they are dominating the east by now but the adjustment teams has done it will be a tough journey for them to reached the finals, the 3 teams that's tailing them are very well balance and while the league is getting nearer to the playoffs more interesting adjustment will happen.

I am also a fan of that time.
Pistons, Wallace's, Billups, Rip and Prince. When the opposing team ends the game below 100 it is a sure win for the Detroit team.
In short, I am a fan of defense.
Lots of rule had been change. You can see they can now shoot jump shots so easily and even just your finger touches the shooter will get a foul. Even that small bump will get a foul and Harden is abusing that.

You wont see much of defense by now but there are still coaches who are good at it and want to focus a win thru defense.
NBA got a little soft but they need the money. Grin

I guess the new NBA suggests that is the better approach to the game. Not just because that s how teams win but also that is how the NBA rules moved them towards the new way of basketball. They banned the hand on defense and so forth to make it more offensive. Lets look at what we gain from defense, a better entertainment ? Less scores ? A better chance to win a title with a lesser team? What do we have with more offense and three pointers ?

More viewers than any other time in the last 2 decades, less injuries, less hard fouls, less bruises, less boring no point for 3 minute games and more 178-164 where we watch the best of the game score all the time, dunks, three points from downtown, dribble moves we can't imagine 20 years ago. Basically NBA said we can't legally be harlem globetrotters but by god we can try.

I was thinking maybe they will still count the 3 point shot as two so they will also work inside.

It was the rule during the basketball early days but there are lots of reasons why they added the three point line which is making sense. There are also proposals back then which is making the three point line more farther than usual.

But honestly, I believed the current distance of three point line to rim is just fine. It's just that players today (even big ones) are just too good throwing buckets on the rainbow shot compare before. Back then, there are lots of strong towers that needed to passed before a player can make a successful layup or just a jump shot. So to counter that, players need to work on their three point fg's. We are now lack of centers today that will bring back the glory of fighting the ball below the rim.

Like what I mentioned before, we are now on a different era. Those who witnessed the action before will really noticed the current changes.

Nah. Giannis is any coach's dream player especially if you're looking for someone to build a team around. And yeah the bucks are looking pretty good so far in the season. Though there have been many teams like this in the past that didn't do well in the playoffs simply because they don't have the experience and buckled under pressure. I think it'll probably take a few more years to make the bucks a legitimate title contender even for the eastern conference.

This boy will surely make his noise in the future. There's more to come for this aspiring king but I don't think he'll be labeled as king. There must be a better call or title for him.

I don't watch him before but few years ago when there are buzz that caught my attention. I started to like him and without any doubt he has the strength and the likes of becoming a superstar. He's young and look, he has chosen and became a captain recently though it's an exhibition match.

Don't you dare compare the King with KD, man! Durant is a good player that LeBron is the players that over all these years have proven that he is the best.
It is very out of the point to judge him from an all star game where the players don't give the maximum of their performance.

Haha I think he's a fanboy and never understands on how is it to become a captain. It's not all about the scores that you can make within the game but it's on how you play as a team.

Maybe he just googles and sees who scores most without noticing who made the game! Durant is good but his performance and achievements couldn't be compared with LeBron's. There is still a long way for him to show off... But after he moved to GSW he will be always a shadow... The next big star that it is rising is Antetokounmpo and when the King will retire he will be the best player in the world.

Oh man, I understand your frustrations, well I grew up watching Detriot's Bad Boy days in the 80's. But you have to understand that the game is evolving as well. Have you noticed that there are no more "true centers" in the league? All 7 footer's love to shoot 3's as well just like a guard. Grin

Just a few nerdy remarks if I may :

The three point contest had 10 participants, not 7 with total combined shots in both rounds at 325.

167 3pt were attempted out of 275 total shots, that's 61%. Rockets are currently avg 51% 3s (on their total shot attempts), so maybe think of it as if you are watching Houston. Grin

Oh, and one last thing "wade broke kobe's nose on all-star". If my memory serves me correct, that was an accident. Wade was trying to grab Kobe shoulders on a layup attempt and gently caught his nose. Not as if they were playing any defense for 3+ quarters. lol

That was a good information you shared, I can say you are a real NBA Fan.
Players now are shooting well in 3 point, the inside dominance which we used to love during the early days are gone.
What we are looking into now are the players who are good in 3 point shooting, Curry, Thompson, and Harden.

I was thinking maybe they will still count the 3 point shot as two so they will also work inside.

Lebron James got the most votes in the West while Giannis got the most in the East.

Believe me man, I have noticed that guy before, and now he's back at it again lol. He'll show up when LeBron is having an off night or if the Lakers lost. I dont know if he's a troll or just a plain LeBron hater with mental disorder lol,.
His statement is just pure hating, no basis, no general analysis, no nothing. His comment is even considered as sh*t post.

Ps. Correction its not Yannis, its Giannis. Now, Its safe to say that this guy only come to this thread to hate on LeBron. He's not even an NBA fan.
