NBA Season 2023-24: Get Hoop’d

ComicChick · Feb 2, 2024

paul george is questionable for sure. but as for bigs between the two i feel like sabonis has had the better year

steph is too popular to not get voted in.

fwiw, i'm glad theyre going back to the old format though

ComicChick · Feb 3, 2024

also, i'm kinda looking forward to the Steph/Sabrina 3 point battle.

there's an old event i wish they'd kinda bring back. don't remember the name of it, but it was a current star, a wnba player, and classic star and they had a timed event to score as many points as possible from different point values on the court. i enjoyed that.

nba all star weekend used to be one of my favorite holidays of the year lol. i'd love to attend one day.

Steph is too popular not to get the vote, but Fox has certainly had the better year and is more deserving imho.

Yeah I used to love it. I have fond memories of Dominique vs Jordan in the dunk contest, Kenny the Jet doing both the 3 pt and dunk contest, Sean Kemp staring down Rex Chapman in dunk contest, Dee Brown in his Reebok pumps (I used my summer job money to buy a pair that year), I remember Jason Williams in the rookie game bouncing a behind the back pass off his elbow to a trailer, and eventually, I remember coming Home from grad school and having the flu and lying on my parent’s couch watching Vince Carter in the dunk contest.

So many memories.

that trailer was Raef Lafrentz who blew the layup :argh:

lol

i watched Vince live. he's my fave all time player, from his tarheel days.
i'm pretty sure i have some all star nights on vhs somewhere. maybe i'll find them as i keep emptying out dad's house.

and yeah, Fox has been amazing the past few seasons actually. he deserves his flowers. it's not painful to root for the Kings anymore.

we don't know what the statue is going to look like yet right? has anyone thought of any iconic kobe poses they might use?

i think it'll be jump shot. the first image that came to mind was the one of him with the fist bump

this is iconic but prob hard to pull off

this one is cool, but doubtful

Knicks add Alec Burks, Bojan Bogdanovic in huge NBA trade deadline deal with Pistons

The Knicks are raiding the NBA’s worst team to solidify themselves as a contender.

This one would be sick:

I also like this one:

or really I could see any pose where he is driving to the basket. He had such a frenetic, athletic style to him. To me, that and his competitive spirit was what defined him.

The questions I would have for his statue would be: 8 or 24? And hair or no hair?

THAT would have been unfreaking believable.

ComicChick · Feb 8, 2024

there are going to be 3 statues apparently. the one unveiled tonight was chosen by Kobe. i could see the other one being more action-esque

I can't stop going back and looking at this and I've come to the conclusion that this shouldn't be a statue. It should be a mural or some kind of LED screen thing. Look at everyone else in the picture. :funny:

His teammates are like....."Okay. That's two. We don't even have to get back on D. The guys on the other team (Nets I think) just need people to keep going and inbound the ball. :lmao:

Great freaking pic.

I haven’t thought about how you would do it, but I hate when teams foul when they’re up three to prevent a game tying three. Maybe a foul outside the three point line under ten seconds is an automatic 3 shots.

I'm sure he'll change teams again in another couple of years.

I enjoyed All-Star Saturday night events. Especially Steph vs Ionescu. She killed it and probably could’ve beaten everyone in the men’s competition. But it’s a shame how many folks I hear saying “they should have made her compete with a men’s ball.”

These people have no clue. The rationale that keeps getting thrown around is that the women’s ball is smaller so it has a greater chance of going in. But by that same logic, I should have a better shooting percentage if I shot with a tennis ball. But there’s no way that I would. Or look at it this way: let’s see how the men would do shooting with a women’s ball. I’m pretty sure that they would agree that would be a disadvantage to them.

It’s kind of a sad world we live in where my son has to say “i was rooting for Ionescu but I’m glad Steph won so that i didn’t have to listen to the hate that she would have gotten at school on Monday.”
