Beyond his anti-vax, conspiracy theory spewing crap, he’s also a vehement antisemitic piece of trash. That might not matter to you, but it’s sure as hell matters to me.
Yeah!
I don’t condone that.
Well, considering people like him having been putting people like me in harm’s way for centuries, that makes him a garbage human in my eyes.
I respect you. And you have every right to feel that way.
Not in the modern NBA, but did happen in 1956-57
Halliburton hurts, but Luka’s gonna go down as one of the best players of all time… like possible top 10 player ever. We’ve never had that type of player. That one hurts much more for me.
Yup. He and gafford. Always liked them both even when they were considered raw. Lots of athleticism, always played hard.
It’s both those things combined with being stocky and strong. I haven’t seen the guy he can’t defend yet. It’s a special guy that can defend anyone effectively on the court.
The mavericks almost drafted Michael Jordan. They were so close, 1 pick behind the bulls. They got sam Perkins instead. My dad used to talk about that for years and I didn’t understand it because I was only a year old in 1984. I don’t even know if Dallas was going to draft Michael if he fell to them, apparently they were. Portland had to be the worst with the we should have drafted this guy scenario for passing on Michael. They got Sam Bowie a pick ahead of him.
The Portland pass is the one people always talk about.
For sure. It was more of a local thing for Dallas. They sucked so bad after their short little 80’s spurt died out and a lot of fans played the what if game with MJ. MJ was the only one who could sell out their arena in the 90’s. One of the Dallas broadcasters, Dale Hansen, actually used to do MJ countdowns before he came to Dallas for a game. he actually started in the bit in 1984 and MJ always acknowledged it when he came to Dallas. I think the bit even made it to the last dance. My best pre dirk/nash memory of the mavs was when they upset the 1998 bulls at reunion arena. I think Dallas had like 13 wins that year. I could be off by a year.
Yup. Only way this team contends in the next five to ten years is if their scouting becomes off the charts and a situation where someone like a Kawhi falls to wherever the hell their first round picks are or they get once in a generation lucky and get a Jokic in the second.
They are going to take another run with Durant but when this likely doesn't work? I fully endorse trading Booker while he still has maximum value. He isn't a #1 and we could get started earlier in the process.
It really sucks for those fans who are already old men
