He’s been a revelation this year with his defense and his ability to play with Kyrie. I think if they make a deep run and continue to improve I don’t know why he would ever leave. He doesn’t seem like a super team guy and Cuban (even now a minority) is still one of the best owners in sports. Plus Dallas is an awesome city and no state tax.
I’m in Ohio watching the Cavs struggle with Orlando, the Celtics will noooo problem with them lol.
Except for their center, Big Z lol.
Dude if Spyda Mitchell didn’t just randomly disappear during games he would be a legit MVP candidate every year. He could be Dwade 2.0 but something ain’t right upstairs and he gets injured a lot…I’m in Ohio watching the Cavs struggle with Orlando, the Celtics will noooo problem with them lol.
I used to hate Boston back when they pretty much dominated the east. Every year I’d watch them knock the Cavs out back when they had guys like Wallace, pierce, Allen, Garnett. That’s when Lebron was fairly new to the league and pretty much had zero help from the rest of the team
However, after my wife and I visited Massachusetts (and Boston) the place REALLY grew on me. Sooooo much history there, not just in sports, but the state alone. Just an amazing place to visit for sure.
So now, I don’t really mind seeing the Celtics beat the Cavs anymore lol.
Yes, exactly lol. Allen too. Obviously not MVP candidate, but the dude throws down some ferocious dunks, pretty good shot blocker, looks fucking intimidating…but he’s soft! I think the Afro makes him look tougher than he really is lol.
True but also Allen is kinda limited in the type of player he is in terms of size and skill set. He’s almost like what a 20 point 10 rebounding center would have been 30 years ago in the big man heyday. He would have been a back to the basket dude with some type of hook shot. I think that’s why at times Allen and Mobley together don’t work even tho I like them both individually.
Dude I was listening Shaq’s podcast today with JJ Reddick and Shaq was talking about how all he wanted to do was fucking dominate you lol.
Man, I don’t know if we’ll see another big man like him for a while lol. I absolutely loved how he played, just how you said he wanted to “dominate you” and that’s pretty much what he did lol. I remember when he went to the cavs. He was a bit slower then lol, but hey, we still had Shaq! lol. I went to one of the games and couldn’t get over just how freakishly humongous this human being was after seeing him up close lol.
You remember Dennis Rodman?! That dude was just fun and funny to watch 
Definitely no Shaq, but he put up a fight lol.
Yeah I think he was 1 of 1. And the game has just changed so much that it’s hard to play bully ball these days. It’s much more a finesse game today. Although early skinnier Magic Shaq would have been interesting today if he figured out how to shoot. Thick/fat Laker Shaq naaaaa lol.Man, I don’t know if we’ll see another big man like him for a while lol.

We have/had some big dudes in the league, Giannis, Dwight Howard I thought had a lot of potential, just not the right mindset. But none of them had that “bully” in them like Shaq. To me anyway. MAYBE if you go back further, but I’m still not even sure about then
You bring up a good point dude. In today’s league, it is harder to play that bully ball, you’re exactly right about that my man.
I mean I don’t really like making comments where you say that a player couldn’t play in a certain era - I think that’s disrespectful. A big part of me believes that these dudes are such athletic freaks and motivated that they would/could figure it out. Like I said I would bet if Shaq was born in 2000 he would have grown up shooting 3s in the backyard and still figured out how to be some sick NBA player.
Yeah, for sure. That’s another good point man. Incorporate a 3 point shot into Shaq’s arsenal….wow. But like you said, IF he was born in the 2000s he might have gave that a little more thought lol.
80’s-90’s was such a good time for the NBA. Today’s game is so much different. So many good rivalries back then.
I wouldn’t be. He’s a mental midget. Dude will have a 50 point game and then he’ll disappear for the next 2 games. He’s completely unreliable and IMO why he shouldn’t be considered a “superstar”. The talent is there but you not going deep in the playoffs without your star being consistent. Having said that - the same logic applies to your boy Tatum who’s shooting like dog shit for the playoffs and had the worst clutch time stats of any “star” this season.
No shit!!! Tatum is definitely not a "Superstar" yet. Not until he carries this team to a Championship.
I’m a life long Cavs fans & the entire Celtics roster should scare the shit out of NBA. The most loaded team since that 2018 Warriors with Durant who were unbeatable. Porzingis would arguably be Cavs 2nd best player and on Boston he’s like their 4th option when healthy. They don’t even miss him. Donovan Mitchell is no mental midget, dude is avg 28 for his career in the playoffs, he is the entire team, the rest of the Cavs are overrated bums.
