He's also 5 inches shorter, that matters.

I don’t think any modern NBA player is winning five MVPs anymore …

I think Bill Russell, Kareem, and Michael are the only ones to do it so far.

Uh, yeah. Let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves.

Don't do it. Nobody gonna buy sketchers for hoopin
This is going to end poorly….

Maybe they can get Zion too…. I mean if he can play and it doesn’t blow out they might find a customer base 😛
Zion would be perfect for them, he can wear all kind of skechers gear during games while sitting on the injured list, they could go for Anthony Davis as well… you clever guy, you are definitely onto something… :lol:

Always funny when people change their tune when it’s the guy on their team.

The ending of the Warriors/Kings game was fun. Steph is a cold-blooded (or is it gold-blooded :D) killer. Saric is looking like he’s going to be a solid addition off the bench. Kuminga has shown some real promise in the preseason. Also, Chris Paul still has some game left, though relying on him to stay healthy for a full playoff run is a lost cause given his track record. Klay has not looked sharp. They could be better than I originally thought, but only time will tell.

Next seasons rules meeting…. Eliminate the “sell”. Going to end up stopping games to give polygraphs. 🤦‍♂️

Yeah, it was a good game. I just wish that Fox was able to hit that 3 at the buzzer.

He was a machine. Got the crap beat out of him by Bruce Lee, ate the poison fish, and just kept going.

Is Kareem the pro athlete with the best movie career? I think his performances in those movies are great. Was any athlete better?

You obviously forgot about the amazing film career of Shaquille O'Neal... Grown Ups 1-2, Kazam, and Steel *chefs kiss* :P

Ray Allen? It was just one movie, but a real performance with lots of screen time, not a cameo.

And in Shaq’s defense, Blue Chips was really good.

Depends on if you consider Arnold a real athlete (pro-body building way before acting.) He really learned the craft though.

Jim Brown?

Carl Weathers is a legit actor and was an NFL player for a while.

The Rock of course was famously a Miami football player.

Vinne Jones was a real soccer player before becoming an actor in Guy Ritchie films (plus others obv.)

Jason Lee was a professional skateboarder.
