Going Commando Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Cool back tattoos. But I don't know if Jordan belongs with the other four. Maybe put him in a different part. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was awful after the AS break because he can't handle 82 games of true starter's minutes any more. It's also clear he can no longer jump unless he's going up off of one foot after a running start. But everyone loses their athletic edge after they hit their late 20's. The 20 year olds are the best athletes in the league for the first four or five years of their career, but they're not the ones who win. Winning in the NBA is all about strength and skills and experience. Gortat has a high floor for an old player in athletic decline, kind of like a poor man's version of the Gasols. His game is based on strength and cleverness. His production will diminish but he'll hold up and still give you a ton for a middle of the rotation player. We just have to figure out how to manage his minutes to keep him from wearing down in February again. If properly timeshared, I think he can be a 5 win share player this season and remain productive into May and June. ****ing Mahinmi was supposed to give us that option last year.

I don't hold his political apathy against him. It's cool when they do, but no successful person is obligated to become a political leader or "give back" in that way. And to my knowledge, Jordan never cynically played the race card to serve his own self interest. Nor did he pull the ladder up behind him. If anything he built a ladder for today's players to use. Also I think his legacy and business empire depended on him being apolitical when he was most relevant. 80's and 90's America would have disliked or ignored him if he'd been like Muhammad Ali. We had not come that far from the 60's yet. I absolutely get why he presented himself as very corporate and neutral. But that also means he doesn't deserve the same kind of respect and legacy that athletes like Muhammad Ali and Jackie Robinson earned.

He's got portraits of Muhammad Ali, Jackie Robinson, Malcolm X, and MLK Jr on his lower back. They're good too, John's artist is really talented.

Who am I to disagree? Its possible I would have done the same thing faced with the same decision. But that pretty much gets you off of Mount Everest on my back when the rest of them went the other direction. I totally feel you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Wall will get legit MVP votes this year. Don't think he'll win it but he'll be in the top 5 if not top 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 You guys remember when MJ grew a Hitler mustache? If Wall is going to get an MJ tattoo on his back, I would like to see it include that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think I like how Capital One Center sounds. It would be cool if they went retro and just called it the Capitol Center though.

Going Commando Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 They're low on most of the playoff teams except they're definitely high on Minnesota. Definitely low on Boston and Cleveland. A team with LeBron always wins 50 games. We'll beat 48 too. I'm thinking something like 52 or 53. They're probably low on Atlanta too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
