Controversial Basketball opinion thread

[Legends66NBA7]

Karl Malone is the most overrated player of all-time.

[PHILA]

'67 Sixers are as good as any team in league history. This should not be a controversial opinion.

[Umad101]

Bill russell is overated and would be garbage in this era

[AK47DR91]

Jerry West should no longer be the logo.

Magic should! Or Michael, or Kareem.

It ain't a white man's game anymore.

[BoutPractice]

Effectiveness trumps skill and flashy play, every time of every day.

[TaLvsCuaL]

Current NBA star sistem ruins the game.

1. Guy I was responding to said he wishes the shorts now were the length they were in the early 90's.

2. I posted a pic of LJ and Chris Paul showing that the short length now is pretty similar to what it was in the early 90's, and the pic of AI was to show that the trend has actually been going back towards shorter shorts compared to the early '00's.

3. I know Iverson didn't wear shorts THAT long in a game... but I was just showing what the style used to be 10 years ago.

that LJ pic looks like it's from the mid 90s, when shorts were getting too long for my tastes

i agree that there has been a trend of shorts getting shorter since the early 00s, but most guys still wear them either at the knee, just above the knee, or just below the knee. i want all shorts well above the knee

the dream team had it right. perfect shorts length for most of these guys



as opposed to lebron and wade

I honestly prefer 'wearing' the Bron Wade length shorts

[andgar923]

Has Ewing ever smiled or shown any other human reaction besides that?

[CavaliersFTW]

shorts are too long nowadays. 80s shorts were too short. bring back early 90s shorts

I agree with this too, I think the baggy sh*t looks dumb

lol it's a controversial opinion thread not a troll thread

[Kews1]

Kevin Garnett > Kobe Bryant

Yep hard to believe that fashion has lasted so long.

Apparently it is controversial to say that the Jazz are deeper than the almighty Clipps or that Artest is an idiot. Still got some asswipe trolling me over those statements!

Kobe is the luckiest player in NBA history. No player has been gifted so much Hall of Fame level talent throughout their career.

I don't consider championships and stats from pre-Bird and Magic era to be worth of much value. Or any at all.

So in my mind, it could easily be:
1. Lakers 10 championships
2. Bulls 6 championships
3a. Celtics 4 championships
3b. Spurs 4 championships
5. Pistons 3 championships

I don't consider the Sonics' title to be the Thunder's title, so I don't consider the Minneapolis Lakers' titles to count towards the LA Lakers' titles. LAL are on 11 titles.
