My favorite NBA video game of all time. NBA 2K10 on the PC. A true masterpiece and classic.

I once traded for Andrew Bogut and played him at power forward on the Rockets.
Yao Ming, Andrew Bogut, Shane Battier, a rookie Michael Jordan and Aaron Brooks.

Off the bench I had Luis Scola, Carl Landry, Kevin Martin, Kyle Lowry and some free agents I had signed.

LOL, all I remember is Yao (7'6) and Bogut (7'0) dominating the boards. I think I out-rebounded every team by an average of 30 rebounds per game. It was easy just to play a rookie Michael Jordan on that team. I was unstoppable to say the least. If the double teams came at me I always had an easy pass to Yao Ming for a quick slam dunk. I could also rack up assists feeding it to Andrew Bogut from mid range. He had a graceful touch for a 7 footer. I'd have some 30-point and 30-assist games with Michael Jordan. Easy work!



My favorite sports PC game was NBA Hangtime and I’d always play with Olajuwon and Drexler (Michael Jordan wasn’t in the game otherwise I’d roll with Jordan/Pippen)

They are trippen. Lebron is most definitely not the best player in basketball anymore lol.. Giannis, Luka, AD, & definitely Curry next year are all better than him. Harden & Kiwi I guess are the toss ups.

& who in their right mind would ever have Lillard over Curry LOL
Simple graphic for even their head to head.

I agree with the LeBron statement but I think they factor in him being #2 in MVP voting and winning the chip as the lead player into the overall #1 choice.

If the Lakers really have the top 2 players in the league then the expectation should be no less than a repeat

FYI, here's the official ESPN top 10 list they released today:

1. LeBron
2. AD
3. Giannis
4. Doncic
5. Kawhi
6. KD
7. Lillard
8. Curry
9. Harden
10. Jokic


I don't hate this list but I don't agree with it. And I'm sure I'll get pooped on for it but I've had Dame over Steph for a while. It depends on what you want. Steph is such a great dribbler-shooter that I really don't care if he's in the top 5 or 10 but I personally would have him at the edge of the top 10. These rankings are stupid, though. Winning, offence, and pure athletic ability get rewarded too much. If you're telling me that Giannis is a top 100 basketball player in the world from a pure skills POV, you're nuts. but if we're asking about who can dominate games, ya, he's top 3.

And with the off season acquisitions we've made it should be that much easier.

Not confirmed just a hypothetical trade

Defense isn’t a skill? Giannis by all measures is the most valuable defensive player in the NBA

Personally I think they’ve gotten away from lockdown defense in favor of more explosive firepower. I don’t think it will work out favorably for them

Realistically what offer are the Rockets getting that beats Middleton + Donte + contracts/picks

Brooklyn says no to Kyrie

Philly says no to Simmons

Phoenix says no to Booker

Washington says no to Beal

Boston says no to Brown + Smart + filler

Miami is overvaluing Robinson and Herro, basically they won’t trade them or Bam. Dragic and junk isn’t better
