How good was GiddeyP445 actually at basketball? (alien.top)
 

Obviously mate has been getting headlines for all the wrong reasons but was he actually a good player on the court?

He was drafted 6th overall in 2021. Jonny Flynn was drafted 6th overall in 2009 and he’s widely considered a bust because Steph Curry was drafted one spot later.

So I’m hearing stories of some high school sophomore (15-16 years old) bragging about smashing Josh Giddey (who turned 21 last month).

Chet TRIED to BACK DOWN CP3!👀 (youtube.com)
 

38 year old CP3 a foot shooter and weighs the same as 21 year old Chet.

Players today who would be better in the mid 2000s in c/nba@nba.space

I would’ve love to have seen Ausar Thompson guard a peak Kobe.

Ausar is already a stud perimeter defender at just 20 years old. He’d be better suited in those more defensive friendly eras.

Ben Wilson

He was described as “Magic Johnson with a jumper”.

Also played with famous child respecter R. Kelly.

Shame that Wilson was a victim of gun violence.

LeBron averages more PPG in the 4th quarter this season than Vince Carter averaged in his year 21 season.

Brongevity is real.

In the future do you think majority of the NBA players will be closer to 7 feet? in c/nba@nba.space

Maybe 30 years from now they should design humanoids that are 8 feet tall and run faster than Usain Bolt

Why are we overreacting to one game?

MCW had one of the greatest debut games in NBA history 10 years ago and then quickly flamed out.

Magic would never!

Well he would actually do a behind the back pass in crunch time but i’m positive it wouldn’t go out of bounds.

Would you rather an 82 game season, or a 41 game season where all players are invincible? in c/nba@nba.space
[–] AdorableBackground83@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

As controversial as this may sound I believe that less is more.

Less games means every game has more ramifications added to it so load managing would not be a wise choice.

Plus the NBA product is at its best when it’s main characters are playing so I’ll chose the latter.
