Who were they?

My guess would be Cousy and Russell.

I don't remember, but that would be my guess too.

Then there's Lew Alcindor and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar winning back to back... ;)

Westbrook now leads the NBA in scoring, is 4th in assists and averages more rebounds and assists per game than LeBron, Curry and Harden.

I bequeathed Junior Spivey a diety after a season of moderate success. That's the definition of a fan(atic) right there! And kudos on remembering. That had to have been 10 years+ ago. It's amazing how long many of us have e-known each other.

Also 3rd in steals.

#1 is Steph Curry, who also deserves serious MVP consideration.

that's just a fluke, not the norm for westbrook. and it's against philly, who employs one of the worst defenses in the league, no wonder. and YET, they almost lost at home in OKC, with philly leading in the 4th.

rusty is playing as if his team is not blessed with talent from top to bottom. (even without durant). pre-trade deadline, this team would have lost to the lowly sixers even with his heroics.

You're not a fan. We get it. He could put up triple doubles consecutive until the season ends and propel his team to a playoff birth while detonating a bomb in an arena saving 18k+ lives and you'd hate.

Merriam Webster Dictionary defines Hater as the following:

Hater: noun. 1. SDC.

If you dig further seeking an adjective for SDC, you'll find troll.

In my early youth I was taught to never feed the troll. And yet, here I am on a regular basis.

Thankfully the percentage of population consisting of SDC's is minimal, usually found fornicating with members of the Tea Party.

Bulls closed on a 27-14 run, with E'Twaun Moore, Gasol, Mirotic, Snell & Dunleavy... whut?

Moore was 9-10.

Cool to see Craig Sager back.

And I thought the Suns looked bad...

40-36 at the half. Mavericks at Blazers.

Wow, that is such sad news for them. I didn't think they could go all the way before, but certainly not without their starting SG.
