You dy mind the guy, make he dy yarn nonsense. Same dude said Lillard is a superstar, I asked dhim to give his list of superstars in the nba he ran away. I don't even get it, a player whose body has not yet fully formed as peaked? Nonsense take. There is more to improve than scoring in basketball. With a good work ethic, his conditioning can improve, he's a sub-optimal free throw and 3 point shooter that also can improve, he can improve his defense to at least become an average defender for his size. Decision making can improve, in fact decision making improves all through a players life they understand when to take over, what to make a play and what the team needs per time. He's already a confident guy but his confidence and know how to handle playoff intensity will also improve an example is pre-wade and post-wade LeBron. And someone is mentioning peak Khanben: 3 Likes |

In fact let's say his peak is a 32, 11, 11 player with shooting splits of 50,40,90 average defense with clutch shooting and play making. Let's say he does that for 6 to 7 years as his game plateaus, he wins a couple of MVP titles, NBA titles and Final MVP, 10+ all stars. That's already at least top 10 or 5 worthy career The scary thing is that those numbers are easily achievable for Luka and all he needs is to win titles to complement that. Abeg that's a nice peak. |

steady986: He most certainly won't get outstandingly better than He currently His. If He does,then we are looking at our GOAT. He'll no doubt get better however, that's a given. How much better is up for debate. I don't think His PPG would go through the roof but His efficiency will no doubt get better and so will other aspects of His game. He also does not need to get that bigger. The Lad is already a unit as it is. Converting His current Baby fat into Lean muscle would be the objective and then maybe adding a bit more muscle down the line. 2 Likes |

A40: He cheated on Her with a stripper who He impregnated. How that happened I'll never know. Callie herself is not innocent. Rumour has it She has been around the block. PG was the best She could have done as far as Star power was concerned. Unlucky for Her that did not work out. Still secured a tier 3(Minor)bag though and married into a good family. So all in all She made the best out of Her situation. Respect to Doc sha. A40: He'll get it. Mark Cuban will do all in His power to make sure His talents does not go to waste. NBA fans better hope the Bucks do well this season or the next because they'll be wailing and gnashing of teeth if Adetokunbo decides to take His talents to Texas. 1 Like |

chic2pimp: Baba even offered the stripper $1 mil to abort but she no gree. After she gave birth he asked for a paternity test and the result said "Paul George, YOU ARE THE FATHER"! But I hear they are still together sha.. |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 6:28pm On Aug 24, 2020 |
I have a feeling LeBron will have a 15 point triple double game in an easy win tonight just to get the haters talking again. I swear that man does this sh*it intentionally |

Roland17: Our Boy's pull out game is weak on and off the court. I don't know How He got himself in that kind of Entanglement? I mean how hard is it to wear a condom?....Yup they are still together. |
Re: The NBA Begins by etidy: 6:37pm On Aug 24, 2020 |
Not only together they have 2 daughters together and a third which is said to be a boy is on the way. It seems she's here to stay. She has also switched professions. Roland17: |

chic2pimp:It was reportedly immediately the same night after a playoff loss to the Miami heat. Baba was devastated and let his guard, it seems it has worked out well for him sha. |

Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 8:58pm On Aug 24, 2020 |
xwolverine: I see your position which is a legitimate stance but greats (which he is destined to be based off his trajectory) went on to get better. Steve Nash, magic, Isaiah Thomas, Stockton, Kidd, T. Parker, Sam Cassell, Rondo, Billups all started out with high TO's but as grew they all got better with decision making which reduced TO. 1 Like |

etidy: I love the enbolden because he can stand to lose some pounds and in better shape. He does have great upper body that helps him navigate through contact but shedding some pounds and become leaner with pace would not hurt. The 2nd embolden is the reason why i said he can improve with his TO because both are closely related. 2 Likes 1 Share |
Re: The NBA Begins by benji93: 9:18pm On Aug 24, 2020 |
90% from freethrow line? that would be a huge leap. 50% from the field won't be easy too. Doncic is another case study. While it's true that stars peak in their kid 20s on the average, you don't often get stars that already began playing professionally in Europe. He may be indeed close to his ceiling. We'll have to watch how this develops. etidy: 1 Like |

aliondo:See even elite players struggle with playoff intensity and pressure never mind the ones that are middle tier. If your #2 guy is not a guy that can take over when your #1 guy has a bad night then they are not worth the max. Which is the problem with Middleton |

Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 10:42pm On Aug 24, 2020 |
benji93:If he takes less 3's and improve his free throws he would eliminate two of his biggest weaknesses easy. He's not a player that relies on athleticism either so it's really tough to say how close or far away he is from his ceiling. I struggle to believe a 21 year old in any sphere of life has hit their ceiling 1 Like |
