I am also skeptical when I've seen how he plays.

Well, for the sake of exposure and history, there it goes. But with how we're defining an NBA caliber player, he's not close at it.

Thanks to his dad that he's able to reach this high but he has to work his ass off to prove himself to the skeptics like you and me.
It's a shame I still don't have a jersey with these players. I was just given a jersey with Jordan's name and number 23 a few months ago:


Now I understand perfectly well what I should get for my birthday ) I will collect a small collection of basketball jerseys. The bad thing is that in my small town this is a rarity, but there are online stores where you can buy the missing copies ))
Man, you're flexing this jersey of yours and I hope that you get to collect more of them. I don't have this passion in collecting jerseys so, good luck with that.

Going on the game, KAT and Brunson did showed that they're a good tandem and exploded in points for their preseason game today.

It seems like the loss of Klay Thompson wasn’t felt by the Warriors at all.

In their preseason game against the Kings, Hield showed off his 3-point accuracy, hitting 6 of 7 and leading the team in scoring. If he can keep that up in the regular season, the Warriors are still a dangerous team, and who knows, they might find themselves back in the NBA Finals again.

Yeah not only can Hield shoot as well, he is also able to run and defend still. Sure, it's not like a prime Klay but compared to 2024 Klay he is for sure the better defender.
I doubt though that the Warriors will be dangerous. Sure they still have some quality but most of the quality players are aging fast right now and a season is very long. 1 key injury and the Warriors can consider things and think about next summer's draft.  Grin
Hield is definitely not half the defender Klay used to be, but the trouble is Klay isn't the defender he used to be neither. The bigger difference comes from offense, Klay used to shoot threes like crazy, he would go nuclear, and he would shoot a ton, and now we are seeing him not have that type of crazy shooting anymore, the result looks different.

We should probably consider this as an upgrade for Warriors but barely. The biggest benefit they got is Hield is younger, meaning they will get this level of output from Hield for many years, whereas Klay got older and came back from injury, so he is not great anymore and getting older and worse. The best approach here is try to adjust Hield into Warriors system as quickly as possible.

With 3 championship titles, 15 seasons in the NBA. Danny Green officially retires, one of the best players that I have ever seen. A man that a team that can be relied on. A great career he had, so after Derrick Rose, he's also out.

One of the reasons LeBron didn't win the championship against the San Antonio Spurs in 2014 became the same reason why LeBron and the Los Angeles Lakers won the championship in 2020. lol ma boy Danny Green has more rings than Ray Allen and other three point shooters out there. He has nothing left to prove and it's really okay that he retires now since his game is different compared to his prime. Danny Green is a sharp shooter no doubt.

In my opinion, I really can not tell right now if this is a heated game as I can not see some real action in the defense department but the shooting was there, it is that I am not used to Draymond Green being pushed around easily by Sabonis well, what do I expect with the preseason game but Buddy Hield was great but let's just see if he can get it going in the regular game right now the Warriors still got that shooting power and level it up even though this game is not that serious enough.
The difference between Klay and Hield is age, and Hield has age which is better, but Klay had the team chemistry ,they were happy together. Lets see what happens but I believe we are going to see them be great eventually, there won't be much issues if they had Klay or Hield, not too much different. I believe the best we can see right now would be focusing on what to do, it will not be considered as something that causes too much trouble.

We are going to end up with anything bigger eventually, what we are going to see here is what we can get, and we can definitely get what we want out of this. In the end, we shouldn't really see Warrios having a downtime because of this switch, they have what they have and they will do whatever they can with it. Not like they were getting a title this season if Klay was there anyways, and they won't with Hield neither.

They are just average or regular team to be honest, and I do agree with your statement. There are no superstar that can bring this team to the next level. They are still going to rely on Wemby this season, although he had a great mentor in CP3 but it might not be enough.

Seeing them qualify for the playoffs is already a huge achievement for the team. The thing is, CP3 isn’t getting any younger, and Wemby is still a bit overrated. It takes a dominant player, like a young LeBron, to carry a team to the championship, and the Spurs just don’t have that kind of star power yet. Their roster is very young, and while CP3 as a mentor will definitely help them grow, for now, it feels more like they’re riding the hype than being real contenders.

I agree moving to the playoffs and manage to play against another tough team in the west side will definitely a great achievement for this young team, having CP3 might adds up but being competitive to reach the finals personally I'm doubting their capabilities,  the calibers of those players who are playing with Wemby and CP3 ain't enough to cover those spots to compete against heavy favorites super teams.

Though it's too early for that, let's see and enjoy their performance and how far they may reach this season.

A nice alley oop tonight between CP3 and Wemby. While I think CP3 is going to do wonders for that team as far as winning games and developing players, I worry he might actually lead them to the first round of the playoffs with Wemby and I think that will hurt them in the draft. Probably worth it though for developing Wemby’s sake.

Honestly, I don't expect impressive results from the Spurs in the upcoming regular season. However, it's worth noting that Victor has been very lucky to play alongside Paul and under the coaching of Pop. There is no doubt that Pop and Paul will be able to help Victor improve many of his skills as long as he can avoid serious injuries due to his size.

The Spurs will have to bring some good players in team, as we have seen teams right now that have 2-3 superstars, and yet some of those are not yet enough. So what more with a team such as the Spurs who just rely on their sophomore and still a lot to learn in the league. And even getting the "point God", I'm not seeing them even landing in for the play-in as the West is really very crowded with great teams.

Spurs still a young team despite of Paul addition for sure their experience will not be enough compare to other stacked team in NBA. But what good thing happened to them this season is Wemby really got a nice support thru presence of Paul. For sure that he could find good looks and penetrate inside compare before where he missed to many good position since he's team don't know how to find him.

For playoffs they have chance to go first round but for finals, I doubt it will happen since what I think its early for this team to reach that far.

Spurs is another exciting team this season and will see what happen to Wemby x Paul tandem.

I like the combination though, for sure Wemby can learn a lot of things from Chris Paul. And even if Chris has been in the league for so long, I think he can still play as he is a point guard so there is no wear and tear on his body, although he had several injuries on him specially when he was with the Rockets and they almost made it and beat the Warriors that time.

So for sure we will see a lot of alley-oop and this is expected of him and Wemby will be the recipient and it could be lob city again. Just like when he and Griffin and DJ was with the Clippers. This is a good start for Chris Paul x Wemby this season.

I think they got Hield not as a replacement to Klay, two different players and we can't really compare them. Both could have their strength and weaknesses. But for sure the Warriors are expecting something big from Hield and hopefully he will provide something for the Warriors.

But as you have said, they are also aging, and teams in the West are upgrading their roster as well. So worst case for them, we might see them in the cellar, as far as standing goes, and then fighting for a spot in the playoff.

Fans is just giving that comparison since maybe they missed classic Klay contribution to Warriors. But looking at current situation where everything is doing good with Warriors at the moment the fans think that Hield is good replacement for Klay. But for sure there's a roster rotation changes when Klay is out on the Warriors roster since they got some good reliable shooters in their team.

Despite of separation of splash brother in Warriors we can say that this team became more better and have more chance to win a championship compare to their last year roster. Hopefully they Warriors could convert expectation to reality then we see them perform so well as a team.

I knew it, Buddy Hield is a consistent shooter, so it's only right that the Warriors signed him. His career is about to take off again since he fits perfectly with their system. I can't wait anymore! We're still in the preseason, but it already feels like the regular season is here. In his last season average, his shooting percentage was 42.5%, placing him in the top 3- pretty solid...

For sure the Warriors are letting their new member experience their system and embed Buddy Hield in that kind of mentality and gameplay in getting into the Warriors' team but this is a sure experience for Buddy Hield and we could surely see the newcomer for some teams playing in the preseason for sure just like in the Warriors teams the other teams will not let the other team take a look at their advantage with the other teams or they will not show their 100% capabilities, so it is obvious that it is not likely good to make a bet but we can likely do so.

No, I'm not talking about the authenticity of this T-shirt. I don't need it. It was just a gift from the fair sex. That's how it stayed with me, as a memory of past events )) Now I'm really planning to buy something that I'll be happy to see every day. I want to collect some kind of collection of figurines with players. How do you like the idea?
I like the idea but it's better if you have authentic items so that you have a chance to sell them someday if you need to or just feel like it. I think that's my point on why I said that. You could also gift them to your sons and grandsons someday like inheritance especially if it will gain value in the future.

I knew it, Buddy Hield is a consistent shooter, so it's only right that the Warriors signed him. His career is about to take off again since he fits perfectly with their system. I can't wait anymore! We're still in the preseason, but it already feels like the regular season is here. In his last season average, his shooting percentage was 42.5%, placing him in the top 3- pretty solid...
It's just preseason. Buddy Hield could sometimes play badly when it's crunch time. True, he is a solid shooter but he is being passed in different teams because something might be wrong. But in the Warriors system, he might really be a fit. They need catch-and-shoot players for their plays as Draymond handles the ball most of the time with every player moving without the ball like what Steph and Klay did before. Buddy needs to work hard to learn those kinds of plays.
He was not given enough minutes while he was on the 76ers, it will be different with the Warriors.

I think it's more of the mentality of Buddy Hield that's why he might have been passed by different teams. Maybe he has some weakness, he could be like in the case of KCP when he was with the Lakers, he has a good shooting, but during crunch time, it was no where to be found. Even Lebron commented that KCP doesn't want to shoot. However, when he moves to Nuggets, it was a very different KCP as he help the team win a NBA ring. So hopefully, that will be the case on Hield, maybe the Warriors can unlock Hield's psychology and become a better player.

In our place, this ain't the problem but because there are too many fake jerseys scattered, and you will have to check them thoroughly first for authenticity. It's better if you just buy it online in a legitimate store but the shipping fees will cost a lot. Better save the money first and buy in bulk so that it will be worth it.

Anyway, I have my own collection of Michael Jordan's and the Bulls games on DVD. Bought it from a legitimate store way back I forgot the year. Cheesy Now, the problem is I don't have any player anymore and my computer doesn't have a DVD ROM. So, it's just a decor in the house and eating dust now.

Of course everyone will remember the past with something valuable in their life not with the original but a memory. Keep trying to do what makes you happy in your daily life.
In my opinion, the plan you want to do has been done by other people before, both from collecting statues of players, the point is that you mean we are not talking about the original, the important thing is that it can make us happy, is that what you mean?

According to sport analyst. LeBron and Bronny James are the historical generation that have play basketball ball from one family as father and son. Bronny did well in the game of Los Angeles Lakers with Phoenix on Sunday 6 October,2024.
No doubt this moment will go down in NBA history. However, I wouldn't say Bronny's performance was good. In two preseason games, he scored only 2 points and made a few assists, rebounds, and block shots. Nothing special, and if he doesn't improve his skills, especially his shooting skills, it will be very hard for him to compete with other players during the regular season.
Maybe he will just be a bad terrible NBA player who only got a few years there because of his dad. Or maybe, he is just a player who was in a very weak draft and a rookie right now, so he could just handle himself better for a while longer.

We know he has like what 4 year contract? That means he has 4 years to prove that he deserves to have an NBA contract, by the end he will be around 24 years old or something, and he will have a chance to be good by then, not great but good enough to stay in NBA at least, and we all know in 4 years Lberon will be gone, so if he gets another contract then it will be all for his own merit and not related to his father.

Please remember, the most important part is, this draft was weak, very weak, and him being drafted is fine because there weren't better players than him after his selection, if he was only drafted for his father then I would bash that decision too, but it was the most logical reason considering he did as alright as he could compared to where he was drafted. Plus he had a big major heart problem on his college career, which made him be drafted a little later than he should be, so taking it slow and gradually becoming better is what he should be doing.
