Cp3 got more broken ankles than anybody last season grin.... Am yet to see a better ball handler than Curry... Irving is close.. Actually Curry is 6'3 and he played college ball labeled undersized and had to prove himself to be more than a shooter I just like the dude he made the NBA so interesting to watch last season can't wait for October... Who r u pitching to take the title? Id go for Spurs or GSW again grin

Lmao @ CP3 and Curry breaking his ankles. grin I think Curry has the smoothest handle - but I wouldn't say he's a better handler than both CP3 and Irving. Err, let me throw Jamal Crawford in there. Kemba Walker is up there as well.

I believe Curry played more as a SG in College, hence he was labelled undersized cos most SGs are over 6'4.

Spurs are loaded and GSW kept the same team. But if OKC can get healthy this season, they have more than enough talent, especially with Enes Kanter on the roaster now, to beat GSW easily and at least trouble Spurs. Then the clippers aren't bad as well. Lack of depth and mediocre wing play killed them last season. But I like the Paul Pierce addition. And Josh Smith should give them quality minutes.

Personally, I think the West is all up in the air for anyone to take. GSW were just lucky last season, especially with Spurs and Clippers meeting in the first round. Then the luck kept piling up when they played against a Grizzlies team with injured Conley. Got the Rockets who didn't even deserve to be in the conference finals. And played an injury depleted Cavs team. They won't get the same luck this season.

I'm picking Cavs to go all the way this season once they give Tristan Thompson his money. You can't bet against LeBron James, especially with how weak the Eastern conference is.

Nice. Same with me as well, but I was never good enough. Coupled with the fact my handle was rubbish. I just left it for football (I'm a talented footballer and I would've most likely made it to pro-level if I never broke my leg in sch, and my parents stopping me from playing too tough. But I still played till Uni level and played for my Uni). Anyway, I still play pick-up basketball whenever I can.

u dont get me before reply.nobody disputes with NBA.
what am saying is that NBA itself is looking for opportunity elsewhere to make the game more popular that is why there is an ongoing plans to have a regular season match outside the US,and Africa is the first point of call when it comes to attracting pull of talent and the reason is simple...BASKET BALL IS A BLACK MAN OR IF YOU LIKE,BLACK AMERICAN GAME.NBA already has a talent developement office in south africa as we speak.in other continent wat they look for is marketing and branding but in Africa its talents
Cool.... Neva knew Dat was wah u mean. True

bro it depends on the country you are talking about. You cannot tell me that Albania basketball league is the highest rated in the world. From your words, you are using a continent to compare usAmerica.

I was referring to the Americas as a continent and not the US as a country. The EuroBasket league/competition is higher rated than the Americas' (and any other under FIBA). You must have missed me at the point where I refused to say 'Americas' as compared with 'American'.

D'TIGERS' next engagement is d AAG.

Why no dizziness during tennis but only table tennis? Does ur med. History hv any clues u mite know?

And uhm, 'lawn tennis' is an old name 4 d sport coz it's not played on grass lawns alone today. It's also played on clay and hard courts.

Naija makes it automatically to Rio. Angola and d oda 2 semifinalists join 13 oda teams in an olympic Qualifying tournament.
The next fiba wc is in china pr come 2019.
