Ben Simmons being touted as the next lebron when he may retire before lebron is insane

[@LockdownK]

[@HOOPEREDlTS]

Bro he was actually good when he was a rookie

[@VeryRestarted]

@@HOOPEREDlTSno he wasn’t lol

[@Mr.0ne]

Tyreke Evans was not used properly. He's a PG and every team tried to use him at SG and SF.

[@christopherhamill525]

Would’ve done better if he joined the league rn. Larger point guard would’ve been perfect for him at 6’6. I don’t want to use Shai as an example but he would be what I imagine. Maybe more like 2021 Shai when he averaged 24.

[@dirtybird311]

I thought Blake Griffin was going to have rings!! Shoutout Blake Griffin on a good run though. Hope you have a good retirement!

[@andycanoy863]

From catching lobs and dunking over people to developing a solid 3 point shot in the 2018-19 season, Blake Griffin was definitely was able to adjust his game. But man, the lingering injuries never game him a chance to fully showcase how he was willing to alter his playstyle to fit a team. We won't forget the countless highlights he has given us.

[@chumba421]

Imagine how much of a monster Blake with peak athleticism but the skill of 18-19 would be

[@andycanoy863]

@@chumba421 For sure he'd accumulate a few more All-Star nominations and All-NBA selections. As for championships, not with Detroit but maybe with another team.

[@thatguyluis]

​@@andycanoy863 That Clippers team is his best chance, too bad Doc always coached them out of games.

[@andycanoy863]

@@thatguyluis I'm surprised he still has a coaching job after his many playoff blunders and failure to adjust lineups during key moments in a series. I don't expect Milwaukee to go far with him as head coach. He milked that 2008 championship with Boston so hard that nothing comes out anymore; not even powder.

[@XabzintheNBAGuru]

As a clipper fan the most fantastic and painful era was really the lob city era. Blake was what gave us an identity, felt and still feels wrong knowing he didn't retire a clipper

We definitely remember MCW; a player who's peak was not one season but the first game in his rookie season. Then everything else went downhill. He went from looking like a 90+ overall 2K player in that game against Miami to quickly becoming a bronze level player.

Dallas is one win away from the finals. I don't know what in the Hell has happened to KAT against the Mavs, he's shooting an abysmal 12%, 4-32 beyond the arc, and was 0-8 in game 3. I was surprised at Ant's conditioning, or lack of in game 1, but i chalked that up to not enough rest after the huge game 7 win in Denver, but Towns is another story. He's been so ineffective that he's been sitting extended periods of time in the 4th. I really think the entirety of the T Wolves roster and staff thought their only competition was Denver.

The Mavs are now in the Western Conference finals and will play my Timberwolves. As someone who absolutely loves Kyrie it sucks to see him go against the Timberwolves which is my team since I’m a born and raised Minnesotan. I want Kyrie to win and succeed so bad but also really want the Timberwolves and Ant man to make it to the finals so watching this WCF series is gonna be difficult

[@LockdownK]

Agreed!

[@highdadd6526]

@Killshot15 The Mavs are now up 3-0 and should be facing the Celtics in the finals. A lot of people think they'll walk through Boston, but if the Celtics play the finals like they have the first 3 rounds, it's going to be a battle.

[@Killshot15]

@@highdadd6526 I agree I don’t get why people hate on Boston so much though but now that it’s officially Mavs vs Celtics it’s going to be fun to watch I see this series going either way and possibly even up to a game 7 Boston is no joke and neither are the Mavs both have young players who are hungry for that chip plus Tatum already been here and lost so I’m sure he wants it the most.

[@JimboCruntz]

Tyreke Evans is a huge what if. The guy had a rookie season up there with Bron, Luka and Big O numbers playing at PG. So what did the Kings do? Yep. That's right. Draft a bunch of PGs and force him to play the 2 and 3 instead. 😂 Instead of trying to mould him as a PG where he clearly thrived and try improve his playmaking they forced him in to a role where he didn't have the ball and had to rely on catch and shoot more negating his ball handling and driving. I genuinely think he could've had a much better career if he didn't end up in Sacramento at their absolute dumbest.

[@lloydrawling1878]

If Evans would’ve been drafted this year he’d have been a high end 6moy or a starting PG now that teams have adapted to larger PGs.

[@lloydrawling1878]

He also did derail his career, his suspensions were a lot based on drugs weather PEDs or otherwise. He made bad choices and that may be based on his lack of success early but either way he’s the reason he’s 100% out of the league.

[@coneyoster1275]

When the got MCW I was geeked I thought he just regressed because he was in Philadelphia. But no, he got even more trash in Chgo. Philadelphia seems to ruin good players but Chgo gives them next team greatness, cause whatever team they get traded to they turn out to be great. See Bobby Portis, Jamal Crawford, and the one that pisd me off the most,, Lauri Markkenin. You could clearly see they were not using him right or giving him quality playing minutes.
