Who is the greatest former player that you can think that’s also a dumbass when it comes to talking basketball? (alien.top)

Like an all time great player, they were amazing when they played, but you do not want to listen to them talk about basketball at all, because everything they say is so stupid

Magic Johnson. It’s not necessarily stupid, just boring and stating the obvious.

No no, saying that the Jokic/Murray pick and roll was the best in the league took courage man

For the millionth time, he doesn’t write those tweets

[–] Robinsonirish@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

This was one of Magic's tweets on opening night that people clowned him for;

The Nuggets entire starting five scored in double figures in their 119-107 win vs. my Lakers. They were led by their MVP center Nikola Jokic, who finished with a 29 point, 13 rebound and 11 assist triple-double. He had help from Jamal Murray, who added 21 points.

To us this is the most obvious shit ever. His tweets aren't meant for us though. He is one of the biggest ambassadors for basketball around the world. Here in Sweden I would say he is easily top 5 known players. It's not a stretch to think there are many who follow him that aren't very knowledgeable about basketball.

If you listen to him speak he doesn't come across as a dumbass at all. He is intelligent and well spoken. I mean... he was a GM. Pretty terrible sure, but a GM nonetheless.

He's just keeping it simple for everyone who doesn't breathe baskeball like we do.

Perkins wasn’t great but he is making a career saying the dumbest shit imaginable

Gotta be Paul Pierce

Shaq. Just listen to what he say and you'll see how much he contradict himself and how dumb he is

[–] Vegetable-Tooth8463@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

please don't insult him

Isiah Thomas. I feel dumber after listening to him sometimes. His stupidity and mismanagement is a reason the Knicks were absolute ass for nearly a decade. A total dumpster fire.

Doesn't get as much airtime but Isaiah Thomas. Guy is always whining about how he doesn't get the respect he deserves by putting other players down (mostly Jordan). He's a prototypical "In my day basketball was played by MEN" guy.

Probably the GOAT Hater. Loved these Detroit teams he played on and always thought he had a big heart playing on a bad ankle but he is such a petty human.

Mark Jackson

It was Reggie Miller but Reggie has improved over the years.

Paul Pierce is horrible.

i realized most guys over 6’6 think they know ball significantly more than the any fan. when the average man is 5’9 without freakish athletic ability.
