Giannis wanted africans on his team. That is why he took Embiid and Siakam. Giannis views himself just as much Nigerian as Greek. its an exhibition game... i say... let 'em have fun with it.

He is the Wile E. Coyote of the Raptors. https://www.instagram.com/p/BstrurflcjV/ | ||

The dunker was a point on athleticism, which is one point in contention. Nut now that you mention it, I have actually seen them go 1 on 1 vs. each other, and guess what, Kobe murders lebron on offense and kills him on defense. So I take it back, i really dont think lebron is that much stronger or is able to use his strength efficiently, as the stat turds would say. Anyway, you're my man JC, so even if you think KG and Dirk are above Kobe, I wont argue any further with you. Lets agree to disagree for now. Does vertical count? Because Kobe's is 38 inches and Lebrons is 44. So he's stronger, more explosive (not to mention he is lifting way more mass) and based on the ESPN sport science break down faster. LeBron might be the best athlete in the world and certainly is for his size, with Zion being a guy who could take that crown or Giannis. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/467751-michael-jordan-dominates-the-vertical-jump-wherersquos-carter-and-kobe#slide12 Then there is the size difference if you consider standing reach LeBron can touch even higher than 6 inches above Kobe. Not to mention bigger hands. I get it you're a huge fan of Kobe which is fine. But some of this stuff is measurable and when it is, LeBron is better. That does not mean to can't like Kobe more, and it doesn't mean that Kobe is not one of the best ever to play the game. Even Haters would have to say he is at worst top 20 but far more likely top 10ish. | ||

I think he is a half step slower on defense compared to 4 years ago though. The Bucks have not played against many strong offenses this year so this weakness has not surfaced. I think it might in the 2nd half. I think he is still better than Teague and Rubio ... even at his advanced age. | ||

Anyhow, congratz to Reggie Jackson. Its a great opportunity for him if Beverley is injured for a long stretch of time. A lot of people don't know this , but Reggie Jackson has his own Candy Bar named after him. Any how. Jackson is a +41 in his past 12 games playing starter minutes on a lousy Pistons team. All these facts indicate Reggie is playing well. The Clippers also keep Jackson from signing with the Lakers as the Western Conference Arms Race intensifies. Nice pick up by the Clippers! | ||

The main part of the Group ROK Stars (and the only bit that actually makes sales as far as I can tell in the ABK beer and other beverages) being massively loss making, having fairly small sales of c. £12m and being listed on the Stuttgart stock exchange at a whole €0.01 per share and a total market cap of €1m, probably less than 5% of their annual sponsorship payment to Williams... https://www.bloomberg.com/quote/RKS:GR Many many parts of the Group being basically websites only but having very few products available: Inexplicably inferior basis android phones that basically no one has and are largely purchased on Amazon or on the website with such promotions as "you choose what you pay" , "bundled" phone packages where phones are apparently sold with access to a doctor AND a lawyer 24/7, plus life insurance, plus a breakdown service despite no evidence of these services being available, this very legit "homeland security app" (definitely worth watching video) http://www.rokglobal.com/en/index.html unbuyable water purification product that failed (http://rokstars.com/rok-water-technologies-develop-game-changing-water-purification-breakthrough/) unbuyable even more ridiculous "all in one water filtration and cooking system" http://www.purerokit.com/?page_id=155 & https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/rok-stars-announce-revolutionary-solar-powered-water-purifying-and-cooking-system-pure-rok-300386353.html "Marula oil" that is completely out of stock http://www.marula.com/shop-products/ "game changing" water product that is unavailable and fairly ridiculous TLDR: ROKiT is pretty much a big scam. r/nba yeah, shady af | ||
