NBA - Main

u/jayowenwest where you at

What about the one where you said the blazers were contenders last season

That's r/nba for you. Attack in swarms then delete account, lol

U/jayowenwest Damn nephew

Lol, Celtics fans have a knack for having a ton of faith in other teams and their players apparently (see also: zombie heat and Orlando magic).

Brutal

Go ahead and take that victory lap, you earned it.

To be fair, your take was kinda stupid at the time

King

Never thought I'd die fighting side by side with a Celts fan...

You sonned the one who called you nephew

Props to /u/DilipKSV , too.

This was a very bold prediction and as much as I've always liked Maxey, I would have disagreed with you quite strongly tbh. So, props.

Lmao this sub is full of bozos who can only count playoff wins at best or media awards. I got downvoted all summer saying herro n maxey weren’t close in terms of assets; msxey I’d a better player last year and is better prospect in every way . Not to mention msxey stepped up in the playoffs. Can tell this sub is clueless sometimes but so is most of bball Reddit. I did expect maxey to eventually be this good: the combination of athleticism and absurd , like legit absurd especially considering his athletic tools too, shooting talent made me think maxey is gonna be huge eventually. I would’ve guessed one more year tho to be at this years lvl .

Someone cooked here

Lmao love how smug they were too u/jayowenwest u/niceguydan8 u/t26_00

Massive W for you. Respect!

We need a "Where Are They Now?" special about everyone flaming you in the replies

Jesus

u/Niceguydan8

Would anybody even be surprised if maxey is better than harden in 2 years?

That ones actually embarrassing haha

u/Niceguydan8 NBA 1yr

Would anybody even be surprised if maxey is better than harden in 2 years?

Probably 99% of anyone with a decent amount of NBA knowledge would be surprised by that

… Jesus. That one is embarrassingly bad. Love it when they’re smug and stupid in one swoop

I can't give you full credit, OP. It seems that you and the other posters who responded were discussing if Maxey can reach Harden's 2021 level of play, not just simply pass him up.

Yes, Maxey improved in two years, but not THAT much. Harden's regression since then plays just as much of a role in the upside switch between the two as any other factor. I mean, by the '01/'02 season, Ray Allen was a better player than Jordan, so it happens.

He is the Messiah!
