For anyone that was concerned about Marshall being more of a football guy, at around 1:50 he starts talking about similarities and differences between training football players and basketball players. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1333495460068363&id=300744626676790

Man I thought Boston had it won when they went up 87-82. There haven't been many good games in the playoffs this year, I'm glad we got one tonight.

I thought we were supposed to hear about Rojo this week.

They should change the name of the award. Make it the Most Outstanding Player or something. The guy who is the most valuable to his team isn't always the guy that had the best season. I know that's kind of arguing semantics, but it's always bugged me.

He might be a bright guy, idk, but I stumbled across his Twitter one day and that definitely wasn't the impression I got. Seems kind of ignorant about some stuff imo, but oh well.

Dakich's only response is "u have no idea" when people ask legitimate questions. Please enlighten us with your wisdom, Dan. Having an outside group to make sure everything checks out seems like common sense.

I have to try to look past that kind of stuff with celebrities/athletes because a large percentage of them say stupid stuff. There wouldn't be many people to root for or watch if I didn't. Watching LeBron campaign with Hill Dawg was tough for me lol.

LeBron should have five MVPs, imo. He should've won it the year they gave it to D Rose, but that was back when everyone hated him for The Decision. I think that hurt him with the voters. LeBron won't ever win another MVP and I'm fine with that. I still think he should because he's the greatest player in the world, but he doesn't care about the regular season so he's not going to waste his energy putting up MVP numbers. He'll coast through the regular season with 26/8/8 and then kick it up for the playoffs. He already has the MVPs, rings are all that's left for him to be in the goat discussion.

They vote before the playoffs, I think. I remember hearing a couple weeks ago that votes were already submitted.

Harden hit the strip club after last night's game [emoji23]

I largely base my support on a combination of winning and attitude. We didn't win last year, and Bryant's attitude sucked. He behaved like a petulant child on the court. I hope he can be successful wherever he ends up in life, and I hope he fixes his issues, but as an IU player he was a big disappointment this past season.

Money well spent.

De'ron's in the gym this morning. I really think he's in for a monster summer.

Should've given him the MVP when he missed 2011 and they went 2-14.

Voter fatigue. Same thing happened to Jordan.

Cujo was in Cook Hall like 10 minutes ago. Looks like he's not transferring.

James Harden with the massive choke job tonight. Yikes.

I'm kind of surprised Bryant weighed that much. I would've guessed him to be around 225-230.

Not to derail the thread anymore, but y'all have to watch Lavar Ball play basketball.

Here's some stuff. Not exactly what we're looking for, but interesting nonetheless. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/sport/2015/nov/30/the-kobe-bryant-outlier-how-his-career-compares-to-the-nba-average https://weaksideawareness.wordpress.com/2011/11/22/average-nba-career-length-for-players-details/

True, I didn't think about that. Takes us back to the "one and done sucks" discussion. Those guys were all instant contributors when they came into the league, thanks in large part to staying in college. Both leagues would be better off if players had to stay in college longer, but I digress lol.

I don't think they are either, I just used them because they were the names that were used.

Haha it's hard to tell these days. Everyone's throwing stuff out there to get clicks in hope that they get something right.

Where did you see that? I've seen some outlets saying they just sold a few hundred the first day. https://www.google.com/amp/www.sbnation.com/platform/amp/nba/2017/5/8/15583706/big-baller-brand-150000-lonzo-ball-shoes https://www.google.com/amp/www.cbssports.com/nba/news/heres-how-many-pairs-of-495-sneakers-lavar-lonzo-ball-reportedly-sold-so-far/amp/
