Yeah, I know. First time I went back and forth with that person trying to tell him why the Hawks should take Doncic. Don't bother with that poster any more.
You are correct, but at this time it seems almost certain The Mavs pick will be outside the top 5. Right now Dallas has the 12th worst winning percentage.
My guess is from low lottery to around 15th.
Call me crazy but I don't think anyone will ever mention the Hawks taking Young and the pick over Doncic in the same breath as Bowie over Jordan historically. Except for me just now, of course.
Yes they did, par for the course
The Hawks r never gonna get it right people. Just not meant to b. Anyway, GO DAWGS!!!
Winning an NBA title takes at least one all time great player. Only one team in the past 50 years as won a title without at least one of the 30 greatest players in history, think about that. They weren't top 30 yet, but all ended up on the list, or will end up there. The latest is Curry, and Lebron, both sure fire top 30 when they are finished.
I am of the opinion that bigger is better and Doncic or Jaren Jackson should have been the pick. Oh but wait, we're the Hawks and drafting future Hall of Famers is not our thing. Oh no, give me the Jon Koncaks, Marvin Williams, and Sheldon Williams of the world and I'll continue to get bounced in the 2nd rd of the playoffs when we do make it which is why 1 haven't watched 1 second of 1 Hawks game this season and it'll probably b that way for awhie. Trae "Steph Ultra Lite 🍺 🍺 🍺" Young.
Well, if bigger is better, then Koncak and the Williams boys should have made you happy.
Well bigger with the caveat that u can play the game of course. There. Is that better. 😎😎😎
So you are saying that taller players who can play well are better than shorter players who can play well? That's an awesome insight.
Of course Giannis has an advantage over a 6'6'' player with the same sill set, but Russell Westbrook still gets to keep his MVP award..right ?
Did you really just say that Dominque Wilkins would absolutely be able to match up but Jordan could not? That is laughable. I love Dominque and he went to UGA but Dominque was allergic to defense. Jordan was a Defensive Player of the Year and a 9 time NBA All Defensive First Team player.
Wow, that's just silly, Michael had the quickness, strength and range. This is a guy that would find a way. Would he have struggled more against that lineup? sure, but who wouldn't. Michael was 6'5" and way stronger than you give him credit for, everybody knew what he was going to do and couldn't stop him. Athletes keep getting better and better, but he was dominant in his time and would still be very very good. To determine the Greatest of all time you have to compare based upon competition at the time, otherwise in any sport as the athletes get bigger and better the latest player will always be ahead.
Yeah but Dominique was 6'8 and could leap Durant, Davis, LeBron or Giannis in a single bound whereas Jordan at 6'5 1/3 well....😂😂😂😂😂 He's just too small thats all. 😎😎😎
A modern Dream Team of PG LeBron SG Durant C Embid PF Davis SF Giannis with a bench consisting of PG Steph SG J. Harden C Jocik (Or whatever) PF Prime Dirk SF Khawi Leonard. At the end of the bench: Russell Westbrook, Jimmy Butler, Klay Thompson, Andre Drummond and Draymond Green! Would whip the original Dream Team in a 4-0 sweep. Absolutely nothing to c here. 😎😎😎
nothing to read either.
Wow, I wonder if that is meant to be taken seriously ? I don't think Jordan was the greatest, my pick is Bill Russell, but Jordan would be a great defender in any era.
Yeah but my backcourt is LeBron 6'9 265 and Durant 7'0 250 okay so which guy r u putting Jordan on? Okay thats the guy we're going to every time down court. EVERYTIME!!! Poor Little Fella.
You are obviously a young guy who really didn't watch the NBA in the 80's. That's fine.
But your comparison doesn't work because the game is so drastically different today.
If the game was played with 80's rules - old team wins. Game was played with current NBA rules/style the new team would win.
But I have to say that you are very nieve with your comments about Jordan. Jordan would be dominat in any generation.
That is comically bad basketball logic. If we're building clone teams where everybody gets their pick of players, I'll take Bill Russell, Magic, Bird, MJ and Lebron as my starters.
