Okay so a rapist, a homophobe and a black guy walk into a bar. Then everyone in the bar is like "hey Kobe can I have your autograph?"
NBA 2014-2015
- Thread starter Eboue
- Start date
The All-Defense Teams have been announced.
1st: Chris Paul, Tony Allen, Kawhi Leonard, Draymond Green, DeAndre Jordan.

Still won't be able to sign any autographs with his 5 rings on his fingers.
More rings than a certain Franchise in the midwest
The west is going to be crazier next year.
Wall is the most underrated player in the league, i'd take him in my team right now.
Why isn't there an All-Offensive team ?

Because Kobe is the most offensive person around. No point in adding anyone else.
You've done that one in here before.
Never gets old. Unlike Kobe, who will be retiring soon thank god.
Kobe Bryant talks about rejecting a trade to the Pistons
Bryant admitted that part of the reason he declined the trade to Detroit stemmed from what the Pistons would have given up (Tayshaun Prince and Rip Hamilton included). What's fun to think about, however, is how dramatically everything changes if that trade goes through. The Lakers are unlikely to then seek to add a star in Pau Gasol, which means that Gasol very well could have gone from Memphis to Phoenix for Shawn Marion, who instead traded Matrix to Miami for Shaquille O'Neal, which ended the Seven Seconds or Less Era. The Pistons might have extended their run, and had they gotten past the Celtics, there's no telling how the Boston era ends.

Yeah there are lots of moments like that. The Lakers almost got Garnett when he went to Boston instead.
GOAT.
I'd rather have an actual goat playing shooting guard on my team than Kobe Bryant.
trying to avoid MinnesotaTowns would be the better selection for Minnesota anyway.
Nice to see Kyle Korver is still as much of a no-show against LeBron as the Bulls are.
The All-NBA Teams:
1st: Curry, Harden, LeBron, Davis, Marc Gasol
2nd: Paul, Westbrook, Aldridge, Pau Gasol, Cousins
3rd: Irving, Thompson, Jordan, Griffin, Duncan
12/15 from the West.

Bizarre. How can Kawhi have played enough to win dpoty but not all nba? Crazy that in the most guard centric era in nba history, you've got 8 non stretch big men.
Durant,Melo and George need to be healthy again man, the league needs them.
No major gripes with the All NBA team. All 15 are deserving.
I think the writers vote for DPOY, and the coaches select the all star teams.
And I'd put Wall instead of Irving. Much better defender and distributor of the ball.
Kyrie sells more shirts though.
Exactly.
Among 49 qualified point guards, John Wall ranked 31st in true shooting percentage. Kyrie Irving ranked 3rd.
Who would you rather have on your team?
On the Pistons or on a theoretical team?
both.
What's holding the Conley extension?
No, Reggie was 44th. He sucks.
Pistons I might take Wall. The plan seems to be get shooters to surround Drummond and Wall is the best at creating corner threes for teammates. Might.
For a blank slate team, Irving easily. He's a much better scorer and is improving defensively.
He's coming off the tail end of a deal that short changes him (at the time people thought it was a mistake). Makes more financial sense for him to sign a new deal. No objections from me, he deserves a pay bump.
Fair enough, and I agree with your last point.
Fair enough.
Josh Smith is throwing the game away with his awful offense.
Game tied, Harden played a big quarter to bring back the game after going 17 down.
Harden at half-time:
FG-7/10
PTS-19
FT-4/4
REB-6
AST-5
STL-2
BLK-1
TO-1
PF-0
FG-7/10
PTS-19
FT-4/4
REB-6
AST-5
STL-2
BLK-1
TO-1
PF-0
I, for one, am shocked.
Well most of the times he has a good game, but when he has a bad game he just become so so bad.
