2022-23 NBA Thread

[Uncle Rico]

You can put a statue of Brook, Middleton, Jrue, Giannis, and Bud up outside of FISERV tomorrow as far as I'm concerned.

Rename FISERV the GA Arena since he's clearly the most deserving.

Giannis saved professional basketball in Milwaukee.  Of course, that probably bothers some people quite a bit

[4everwarriors]

Anyone that calls Khris Middleton's Bucks career pedestrian doesn't know ball.  Stick to the basement scanner and caravan alerts, aina?

So, he compares favorably to #12, hey?

[Uncle Rico]

So, he compares favorably to #12, hey?

No way.  12 is one of the greatest to ever play the position of QB.  Far greater career than Khris.  Like the Bucks should move on from Khris, the Packers should have moved on from 12 sooner than later.  Khris is worthy of having his jersey retired at Fiserv Forum but comparing the two, 12 was a much more transcendent talent

5 greatest Wisconsin athletes?  I assume most would have Aaron 1st and Antetokounmpo 2nd.

Hank, Kareem, Giannis, Starr...Rodgers?

[MuggsyB]

Hank, Kareem, Giannis, Starr...Rodgers?

Warren Spahn may be there?

[tower912]

Ners.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Hank, Kareem, Giannis, Starr...Rodgers?

I think that would be my list as well. Though Muggsy's addition of Spahn is a good one.

[MU82]

Yount?

[wadesworld]

Yount?

He was the other name I had in mind besides Rodgers.

[MuggsyB]

I would think someone from the 60's-early 70's Packers has to be there.  Starr or Nitschke?  Reggie White perhaps?

I cannot stand Steven A.

What a total lack of professionalism.

What did he do?

[MuggsyB]

I guess Randle is out but you have to hand it to Jimmy.  The guy is playing at a ridiculous level right now. 

[MuggsyB]

Uh-Oh.  That did not look good for Jimmy.  Amazing how many guys have been injured in the playoffs. 

[MuggsyB]

I don't mind Doris Burle but she just explained how amazing Jimmy's story is as he went from Juco, to Marquette, and then "undrafted". Uh...no Doris. 

[Jockey]

What did he do?

These games are national broadcasts - not local to New York. Shouldn't have a hard line Knicks sympathizer on the national studio team.

[Herman Cain]

Delighted to see The Heat beat The Knicks in game 1. Rooting for Jimmy and Jamal (even though he is not eligible to play in playoffs)

Too bad Shaka ran Jamal off campus

They don't care. It's just entertainment.

[MuggsyB]

I probably would have challenged that 2nd foul on Fox if I was Mike Brown.  I have to say I don't get the point of having one challenge.  I mean if they had a rule that you keep your challenge if you're right but don't if you're wrong that would make some sense. 

[Jockey]

Steven A. does not entertain me 

[MuggsyB]

The best NBA analyst by far for ESPN is Tim Legler and yet they choose not to have him on the broadcasts for some reason.  It's very strange because he's always been excellent. 

[MuggsyB]

Sacramento is unraveling.
