  1. You say you gotta build around Trae? What do you think the Hawks did? Dyson Daniels, NAW, Jalen Johnson, the Hawks had all tall defenders, which is what everyone said you needed around Trae. And they were better without him!

  2. Lamelo ball is the clippers of players.
    Every year ppl talk about what he can be..yet every year it's more of the same.
    He hasn't improved nor seems to care too. Fun to watch but so was godzilla but doesn't mean it's winning anything.

  3. Giannis literally called out people spinning his words like Chris and Jacoby in the article. So that’s hilarious. The guys didn’t read a single word of that article lmao.

  4. Curry was a better defender at 35 than he was at 25. How many players in the history of the NBA can claim that? Don't you dare compare Curry's defensive proficiency to Trae Young's Jacoby.

  5. We’re STILL talking about kuminga?? The dude STINKS. When Steph retires, the warriors will make the kings look like the 60’s Celtics. ENOUGH with this story. Some loser. The story is lacob is gonna destroy the brand Steph built

  6. Comparing Laimbeer's skill set to Beef Stew, as if Laimbeer is unskilled compared to Stew is a pretty dopey take by Jacoby. Laimbeer was the dirtiest, but he did make and allstar game.

  7. Isaiah Thomas is a certified hater. Like when he talked about the Warriors what ifs of what their legacy would have been without KD. Like negative what if scenarios are literal hater shi

  8. "it will not work in the playoffs" Vern is dead wrong about the suns. effort, defense, and winning the possession battle absolutely translates to the playoffs. also Green will be back soon and Booker elevates his game in the playoffs.
