Sports & Fitness Mamba out....

j

I missed out aswell. The one on the left with the yellow nike logo, apparently they have only released 200 pairs of them. True?

 

You mean the one on the right that I circled?

If so, that's the Kobe XI (11) and yes I do believe it's very limited. They have some selling on ebay/gumtree now for over $1500.

I had my cousin line up in Manhattan Footlocker and it was sold out in less than 10 mins

 

yep.. that's it.. but $1,500 for a pair of basketball shoes.... i reckon the price will just go up from now..

 

Yeah but thats crazy price! I would rather buy 5 pairs of retro jordans!

 

defensive player of the year: Kawhi Leonard.

Agree or disagree?

 

Can't really disagree I guess - he deserves it. You could make a case for Draymond Green too. All in all - not surprised.

Who will go for most improved? Curry ;-)

 

I really believe Curry has a case to score the MVP/MIP double. Every year it goes to a guy that plays more mins so I'm not sure how much of the improvement is him and how much it's his increased opportunity.
Curry on the other hand is coming off an MVP season in which he has increased his scoring without sacrificing efficiency whilst playing the same mins. I've never seen this type of leap from an established superstar before and that includes Lebron, Kobe and MJ. Not saying he's better than any of those 3 but I've never seen them back up an MVP season the way Curry has just done.

 

Agree 100%

I remember after the first few games of the season - everyone was doubting he could sustain that level of play. If anything - he took it up another notch! The guy is insane.

 

Totally agree with this one.. Curry just makes basketball look so easy.
Since Curry's rise to fame.. I can confirm an increase in my basketball mates attempts to play like him and shoot three pointers anywhere on the court.

 

Curry is revolutionising the game. He's already the greatest shooter in NBA history but it's the other parts of his game that make him other-worldly. Crazy handles, can sling pass off both hands, full court vision and his finishing around the rim is world-class.
I think the only thing holding him back is defense, but in saying that, Magic was never All-Defensive team and Larry couldnt guard a chair.
I think defense is still what sets Lebron and MJ above the rest. Though who needs to play D when you can just come back and swish it from 40 feet right?

 

i second that.. who needs D when you can get him back with a three pointer and a foul?

There are still four other players that can cover up for him. And a good defensive play executed well beats any one man D imo.

 

Curry out for game 2. Wonder if Houston can steal a game and go home with a split.

 

I can't see it happening.

The Warriors defense is too good. Expect a big game from Klay too - pretty sure he put up crazy numbers against the rockets when Steph was last out.

Even without Steph - this team is so good!

Cheers

Dubs win game 2 - Klay goes for 34. Just too good.

 

Dwight fouls out in 35 mins. He gave up on Houston 3 months ago. Where do u think he's going next? It's been a steep decline since forcing a trade out of Orlando.

 

Had someone hit a three on the buzzer (half time) from just over half court against us in our ****** D league last week...

 

The curry effect

 

Jamal Crawford 1st 3-time winner of 6th man.

I wish this award took more into consideration than just chucking

 

i can feel the Curry Effect alright.. a win without Steph... next question is... who will be the coach of the year?

 

I think its gotta be kerr/walton.

Though I would vote for Stotts.

Pop suffers the shaq effect.
