No he didn't get the fuck out of here with your homering ass DM.

I guarantee you if Iggy was on the Bucks instead of the 76ers, and Giannis made that comment about him being HoF potential, you'd shut that shit down quick.

There's no fucking way iggy is HoF bound even if he puts 3 more rings on his resume. He was rarely ever the best player on most of the teams he's won, he was a great role player and point forward. But that's about it.


I literally said he made a case...which is true, because he's got over a 5% chance of being selected. I said it's a stretch though, and that i don't think he'll make it. Chill the fuck out bud.....

He also thinks Tobias is on par with Middleton


Not when Tobias is in Philly playing under BB on this clusterfuck of a big man roster rofl.

But when he's in the right situation, yes. He has proven it, numbers don't lie. With the Clippers 21/8/3 on 50/43/87 shooting as the #1 option on a pretty solid team too (playoff bound in the West when he was leading them).

Playing under BB where p&r was non-existent and the spacing was cluttered and big men were clogging the paint, well yeah it was a disaster. Swap their roles though and he'd go ham in Milwaukee too.


Both are #3 caliber options though. Middleton looked great this postseason and Tobias looked terrible, but their production level really isn't that far apart in ideal scenarios. No matter how you cut it though, Middleton just isn't a top 2 option on a Championship team no matter how much you want to hype him up to be.

A case means there's a possibility that it could happen.

Which is not true at all. There's no way you can objectively even make an argument that Iggy should be a HoFer. Not even close.

Before a finals MVP and without rings, sure he had no case like literally 0%.

But now with an All-Star appearance, multiple All-Defense selections, 3 Championships, 1x Finals MVP award and almost 14k points, 6k rebounds and 5k career assists he put at least gets thrown into the discussion even if it's a drop in the bucket and we all know he won't actually make it.

BB and bad roster fit, yes.

I mean you're saying all of a sudden guys go from producing well or being All-Stars to just dropping off a cliff and looking out of place? What else do you blame that on besides coaching and bad roster fit?

Horford was an All-Star the season before signing with the Sixers, and Tobias was going ham with the Clippers putting up 21/8/3 on 50% FG and 43% 3PT (when he was playing for Doc Rivers btw). I think Tobias will be fine and will bounce back next season, but Hoford ehhhh we'll see.

There's zero question that BB was not utilizing this team correctly though, we ALL could see it that became the elephant in the room every fucking game. Dude didn't even believe in 4 out around Embiid or utilizing the P&R at all and his offensive sets out of timeouts were middle school caliber.

So after bashing BB all season for years now actually, we're just going to act like he wasn't the biggest problem.

Oh, okay. Must be because he's gone now huh? Like when Jrue was traded away from the Sixers and people finally started giving him some of his due respect (still the most underrated player in the league though).
