Only crazy fans comparing which of them have better era since basketball evolve and also the competition of the game in their times. But what made by these 3 great basketball players is something that cannot erase to the mind of people as this great players would always be in the discussion if basketball is involve on topics.

I don't care about who is the GOAT among 3 of them, since what I only pay attention much is how I enjoy watching them playing in the court. They give extreme impact for their teams that's why they became a great legends who played basketball and lucky for us basketball fans to witness that.

Can't compare eras but it would sure be nice to combine them. Taking the best of each one like the intensity of the 80s/90s, the trash talking and street style from the 20s and the high flying dunks and deep 3s from the current era, this would be great.
I don't like how soft the NBA has become these days, guess nobody does. All the whining, complaining, flopping, bad calls, useless technical fouls by insulted refs and all that shxt. That's why the NBA is losing viewers, people are fed up with this nonsense. It's more fun to watch NCAA than NBA even. These kids are still fighting for something but in the NBA they are just too rich, have too much influence and they don't seem hungry mostly. Sad times.

I was thinking that the Warriors with Steph Curry probably always win, but it is not the case. It's crazy how he landed the 3 pointers nonstop. There are so crazy videos about it, how is this even possible. But yesyou've got the talent or you don't. He has it.
It's like saying that teams with Jordan, Kobe and Lebron could always win but it's not. With the debates of which era is better.

I'm not into any of these eras saying that this one is better because both of them have their own best moments.

Exactly, we can't compared eras as they have their own ways of how the game was been played, we should always appreciate what the impacts those stars brought to us as a fan, like what you mentioned it's always the way they bring that entertainment that matters, we can't really force someone to believe who's the goat for him, it's his opinion and his own definition on how he select his greatest player of all time, and in terms of team who can dominate, same deal with that sentiments,

different eras different competitions and we should also consider the fact that NBA is a business so from time to time teams will evolve and will try to make it more competitive to bring in the fans and gain more supports.

Oh I noticed this just now, but anyway. In regards to 3 pointers I think there has never been a player of that same level. That's like playing on the play station. The guy has scored from the middle of the court not only once, but several times in his career and he never have to have his feet close to the 3 pointer line, he just took the shot from anywhere. There so many points where it felt like a bug when he made them. Cheesy What can you even do as an opponent when there is a guy running around who scores with a higher precision than anyone else...
I wouldn't argue about Steph because he surely indeed the goat in terms of having those 3s. When the time of Ray Allen, I really like him and he's very dependable and so as Steph.

There are other good 3 point shooters there but that's only one from the many of them.

Yeah, the past is the past and there were no doubt a lot of great things there that are still appreciated now but let's also appreciate the current setting and the ball game has been upgrading since then, most of offense games we are getting now.

Warriors escape with another victory against the NOP.

The Pels has the chance to win the game, but Murphy III missed that 3 points with 2.9 seconds to go and then they fouled Draymond. Yeah, the Warriors won but I will say that they got lucky again. They didn't had that big lead going into the 4th, but it's the same, they made the team makes a huge comeback in the last 4 minutes as they relaxed somewhat. If Murphy hits that 3, then it will be a very different outcome and they could spoil Wiggins great game with 30 big points.

Good for the Warriors but I really thought it will be a double digits win, especially with how much the Pelicans have been struggling this season, but unfortunately, I lost my bet on that game. But I’m okay with it because Andrew Wiggins really stepped up, scoring 30 points on an impressive 9-14 shooting.

It’s clear he’s much more focused this season compared to the last. If he keeps playing like this, the Warriors can definitely go far this season. Wiggins’ form now is a big boost for the team.

Seems that he's really back on shape, I still remember their last title he and Poole really helps the Warriors winning that last ring, and like what you said if he continue to play like this, the chance is good for the Warriors to reach the finals, what we see from them now is how the system was design, they are great in executing the play and with the selections they've got, they are competitive in the real sense, and a good candidate for the title.

They probably get the correct personnel again, like in their last championship year, everyone is contributing from the bench, regardless if it is defense or offense. I don't like to say this, but probably Thompson leaving them is the best thing that happened to them this season.

Now, they move differently, Draymond Green is still anchoring their defense, and then Wiggins is coming back like a true GSW in 2022 and so is Kuminga. Looney although lost his position as starting center, it still very dominant inside and can give you double digits in a given good night. And definitely, Buddy Hield and Slow Mo and Melton (although he is injured again right?), is a perfect fit for the Warriors kind of play.

Yup, with the same system they relly playing well, it's a good thing with the Warriros as they executing the plays with each players inside the court whoever coach Kerr chooses to play, I like them as they know they role and they are playing as a team they know what functions they need to serve and they are reallydoing it for the benefits of the team.

The thing with Klay leaving them, I guess we are witnessing what's the benefits and how the rotations still the same with that same system that they are using.

Nice to see Westbrook have himself a hell of a game. Complete with some great highlights too. Same with Jokic, who nearly made a full court shot by slapping the ball off an inbounds play. I can’t even imagine the strength it must take to be able to do something like that. The guy is on another level.

As for the Mavericks, they're still strong because they have Irving still, and they also have good role players that can help them in offense like Marshall, Washington, Lively, Gafford and others.


Boston Celtics versus Minnesota Timberwolves later. A must-watch for me as these two teams might be the ones who will play for the Finals of this year a nd I bet it will also be one entertaining match up to watch.
I'm not counting out Cleveland just yet. 16-1 is a really hot start to the year and the team is loaded with talent. Imagine how exciting the ECF will be if these 2 teams meet. 7 games of high scoring excitement as I don't see either team blowing out the other, least not at this point.

Also not 100% on Minnesota as I think OKC has a really good chance to be right there as well. It's still a long way off, but Minnesota is going to have to be a lot better than their 50% start shows.

I agree. The depth of the Mavericks is just extraordinary and all players are getting better each game. Lively was fun to watch as always just like their battle in the WCF and the Finals. PJ Washington always stepping up his game whenever they need him to especially that time without Luka and Klay not scoring. Irving was the key to that win, he showed greatness and all the team had to do was follow him. It's a very enjoyable game to watch.

I will agree with your observation that they are not going to make the playoff easy just like what they did last year. I don't know, but it's a totally different mentality for the Nuggets and although the core is still there, it seems that there are issues that we are not aware or it could be after playing so many years and winning a NBA championship, there could be some mental fatigue between them.

Murray is very different, I mean he is healthy but inconsistent, unlike during their championship run. And he is supposedly the second option in this team, but this season, again, he is not doing that.

On the other hand, I never thought that the Warriors are going to lose against the Spurs in this game. I wasn't able to watch it though, but perhaps Warriors are tired because they are into back to back games.
To be fair, that is the trouble with any team that does well for a while, they do well because they do something new, like for example it was for a long time Cavs vs Warriors finals, and eventually everyone figured out what Warriors does, and after that Nuggets became the popular number one contender, so after a while teams didn't know what they should do against them at first but slowly figured them out.

So while Jokic is fine, it is not about just Jokic, if the defensive scheme is to let Jokic do whatever but stop others, and if that works, then that's what they will do. It is not always about stopping the star, sometimes the star is too much to handle and too good, so they just focus on everyone else and leave the star frustrated. That's what other teams are doing right now, they are letting Jokic do whatever he wants, because they know they can't realistically stop Jokic, so instead defensive scheme became defending everyone else much better, which apparently works.

I'll stick to my prediction that the Nuggets will just be a play-in team this regular season, and will not be a title contender as well. Cheesy

Well, they're still in 5th spot in the Western Conference standings. Personally, I don't think the Nuggets' performance will get so bad throughout the regular season that they will only qualify for the play-in tournament.
However, anything can happen, and it's worth noting that there are some surprises in this regular season, as teams that previously were mediocre or underdogs are now suddenly performing well.

That's because young guns are developing their games and getting more confident over time.
Also, some team chemistry suddenly just gel together.
Anyway, I also don't think the Nuggets will get so bad this season. They may have a pretty bad start, but after a few games, they're back at their normal form. I mean we can't just ignore the fact that they are still a title contender team and still the Lakers' kryptonite.
I have a feeling that things will be a lot more different mid season for both conferences, as we starting to see who's gonna be the potential title contenders in 2025 playoffs.

That’s definitely part of it, but the main reason is we underestimated the Spurs. We overlooked their strong home record, which was 7-3 before that game. With that win, they’re now on a 3-game win streak and playing like a competitive team that’s already above .500. We need to keep an eye on them moving forward.

Another thing that I noticed was they were just +3.5 against the top team in the West, and that kind of line screams "trap."
It’s like the oddsmakers knew something we didn’t. Sometimes those subtle hints in the odds can tell you more than stats alone.

This is what I'm saying ever since before the start of the regular season.
The depth isn't there, and with Gordon missing out for a few weeks due to an injury, it cripples them offensively.

Jokic is doing it all as usual, but basketball isn't a 1v5 game, but a 5v5 hence, he needs help from his teammates. This is the problem with them and for sure many also saw it. Their depth is for me, one of the worst in the league. No reliable role players that can help Jokic, and Murray in this particular game had a bad night as well unfortunately. I guess many people forgot that Thompson didn't score in this game because they've won, but who cares, right? Cheesy Nevertheless, it's an almost-a-comeback for the Nuggets, but they just fell short on it. As for the Mavericks, they're still strong because they have Irving still, and they also have good role players that can help them in offense like Marshall, Washington, Lively, Gafford and others.

There core is indeed intact but their current supports or other roster seems not in good sync with them. They struggle so much and its like they are not the old Nuggets which is scary opponent before. But let see if they could figure out and find the solution of the current issue of their team since there are still so many time to fix everything up so they could able to compete on playoffs.

Its early to say that they won't make it on playoffs since they still have great experience to handle the pressure and became more competitive on difficult situation so provably there's still a good chance for them to recover and advance to that round.


On the other hand, I never thought that the Warriors are going to lose against the Spurs in this game. I wasn't able to watch it though, but perhaps Warriors are tired because they are into back to back games.

I really thought they would take this game against Spurs since its like they are in total control on all quarters. But we see a classic Warrior performance today where they choke at 4th quarter of this game. To bad for them they let Spurs to get the momentum result Warriors lose so bad from Spurs.

Dallas Mavericks somehow won the game against the homecourt of the Denver Nuggets. It was a rollercoaster ride for the Nuggets as they cut the lead to 6 in the 3rd quarter from 22 points if I remember it right. Then, they took the lead in the quarter with 5 points, thanks to Russell Westbrook's superb 3-point shooting night while both Porter Jr. and Jamal Murray are having trouble making those kinds of shots. But the Mavs created a 9-point swing with aggressive moves, Kyrie attacking the pain, and PJ Washington doing the same too. So, even without Doncic, they proved they are still a strong team.

Michael Malone said the perfect words in the post-game interview, Jokic is just doing his MVP caliber game, but other players must do their jobs. Now the Nuggets are 1-2 in the West Group C of the NBA Cup.

If I'm not wrong Robinhood step up and became partner of Miami Heat now.
Really?

Wow, it's good to see that these heavy and giant exchanges partnering up with these teams so that they get more exposure. These are for long term deals and it's good for them to have it.

Crypto.com secured one and so, maybe soon we'll see Binance having any of these arena partnering with. Maybe some crypto casinos might be allowed too soon?

I doubt though that crypto casinos will be allowed or at least go and pursue any sporting coliseum.

They are heavily invested though on some athletes and I think that will be the norm for them. They don't need those stadium's name after that, they are already big like Stake or Duelbits who's name are already etch in like football.
Yeah, that's what I am thinking about those names in football and that's why if they've done that with that sport, they could possibly do the same thing in basketball.

But I think if they can't, there's an issue about competition there because with what I can remember, it is fanduel that's sponsoring some segment in the NBA.

I don't know if there's a conflict of interest in there if ever one big casino wants to buy the name and rights of an arena.

I was thinking that the Warriors with Steph Curry probably always win, but it is not the case. It's crazy how he landed the 3 pointers nonstop. There are so crazy videos about it, how is this even possible. But yes you've got the talent or you don't. He has it. Or maybe talent is an understatement here as the guy is gifted like nobody else has ever been when it comes to 3 pointers.
