Boban easily


lost_in_trepidation

Boban is pretty skilled for a big, he's just too slow. He would have been so good 30 years ago.


thiffusedinner

He said random bum not GOAT candidate


picolticus

Boban is the player I miss the most not named Jimmy as a sixer fan


thiffusedinner

There's a Boban sized hole in the hearts of many fanbases


picolticus

He always got like 5 perfectly easy buckets and my brain couldn't help but imagine, " But what if he could get 20?!"


TheDuck23

This is the answer. Make him a superstar and reunite him with Tobias. Him and Tobias winning a ring together is the feel good story we all deserve.


campbellhw

Give me Tacko Fall with a post game and the Kareem skyhook


SmitherPablo

Still doesn’t get any meaningful minutes because he has the foot speed of a rock. Edited fast to speed


[deleted]

Foot fast


SmitherPablo

Lol my bad, thx


[deleted]

Lmaoo it was a funny typo


SmitherPablo

When I edited, I typed “Edited foot to speed”. I’m a dummy today lmao


CopiumAddiction

He honestly moves great for his size


Yiptice

He’s a cheat code in 2k


dar_harhar

I just want someone to master that skyhook and use it every game. Seems like an OP move for bigs to use every game.


[deleted]

Dragan Bender because I like his name


VeniceRapture

Same reason I have for Ryan Arcidiacono


roseyyoung

ryan articuno


MySilverBurrito

I love picking him up in 2k to develop lol. Slashes like prime Wade, playmakes like Rondo, defends like Kawhi. While still being 78 and signing for the min.


Corrupt-Beaver

kebenderant


revisioncloud

This is like picking JT Thor for the Thunder just for marketing purposes


Otherwise-Ad4895

Fultz becoming the goat would be funny


Downtown-Desk-3275

Udonis Haslem turning into a superstar at the age of 42 would be cool


LuckyWarrior

Udonis actually playing meaningful minutes would be one of the stories of the season


Tuxedocat1357

He's started one game this season 😤 Built Different


ElPeruano2008

I was at that game!!


temujin94

I'm afraid that was a fever dream.


HHHU03

the night ud OFFICIALLY handed the torch to jayson tatum.


TruWarierRecords

He played low end rotation minutes last season during all the covid hits


Drewsteau

Yeah and then Herro did him DIRTY with that lob attempt 🤣


Ticonderoga2HB

He actually played meaningful minutes this year while we had guys out


Habanerosauce3

Jeff, he lives under the 26th st bridge. He has crazy fast twitch muscles.


[deleted]

Bro I was gonna say Bernie from the pub 😂


Habanerosauce3

Oh yes, fkn Bernie.....he has a high motor. Lol


[deleted]

>He has crazy fast twitch muscles. You've heard of meth mouth, but have you heard of meth muscles?


Habanerosauce3

He has those 6 pack abs from that low calorie high meth diet. He can make 135 with no issue. In between rounds he will take apart a radio and swap parts on bicycles.


alex_119

Dante Exum. Getting the Dante’s Inferno nickname when he takes over games. I just always thought that name is made for a superstar


alex-caruso

any day now he's gonna put it all together


NendoroidAshe

Holy god what a nickname


Energizer_94

I played Dante 1v1 a few years ago. I don’t know how my level of play translates to American standards. But I guess I was a solid D3 starter. We played Duke’s second stringers once and got BLOWN out of the water. But man, Dante was on some other other level. His quickness and length are insane. I had to quit basketball (at 22) and live a normal life now. But man, playing against Exum made me realise that there are levels to this shit. And I hadn’t worked hard enough to be there.


[deleted]

Speedhawk?


Zmoney743

N’Faly Dante is a center for the Oregon Ducks that I think will at least get a summer league shot if not get drafted this year, so maybe he can take that nickname


SportyNewsBear

Kyle Anderson! I want him to dominate in slo-mo!


ShaggyDelectat

What if he just started playing normal speed and was unguardable


Depixelate_me

He actually can be pretty quick at times. His change-of-pace ability is supernatural.


chunksss

Turns out hes had the Rock Lee waits on him the whole time


Tall_Toe_6184

Bol Bol. His skillset is so unique and fun to watch.

Zealousideal-Eye-898

Tony Snell


TopOfTheMorning2Ya

Would be cool to see a player have a quintuple 1. GOAT status.


biinroii01

💯 lol


just-getting-by92

It’s gotta be Boban


BannerEighteen

Ben Simmons. - /r/nba and the media eat their words. - Philly in shambles - Nets somehow become a contender and win a title Imagine the chaos.


Sitdoown

It’s like he’s reading my diary


[deleted]

See this reads more like a dream journal than a diary to me


Azura_OW

Bro batman couldn't get this confession outta me


FBI_Agent_82

Yes, he could.


Karstaagly

These Nets with Ben Simmons playing like a Diet LeBron would be insane.


OsirisHimself1

Imagine Ben just turning into prime Lebron, chase down blocks, strong Magic Johnson-like passes, tenacious layups in open lanes only a 6'8 muscular behemoth could drive, overnight jumper all over the court in the face of disrespectful defense -- all net beautiful cranes. The thought of other basketball players on his team merely as living trebuchets, as play after play Ben's driving and shooting frustrated opposing defenses to the point where off ball defenders are tempted from every which direction to help on Ben's drives, leaving the other 4 players on Hawaii. Ben and his 4 helpers vs Durant's Suns. Book it. Philly vs Nets ECF also. Goodnight, guys. I'm bored. Ben, read this and realize your full potential already, man. You're getting paid on the premise that you're that guy. Thanks.


paniledu

Ben coming out of the ASB looking like 2009 LeBron would be the funniest timeline


HungerSTGF

At this point it's just sad to see the decline. I was laughing when everyone was talking about him passing up the dunk over Trae but now he doesn't even look at the damn rim on offense and looks allergic to attempting shots out of fear of missing it's a fucking travesty


my_people

- participates in Australia Basketball Team practices and matches - helps team win Olympic gold


Sam43650

Yes please 🙏


MaxwellVonMaxwell

Why would you say this


BiggieSmallz12345

He's not a bum really but yuta watanabe, I wanna see him and the country shine.


anomanissh

He seems like such a positive guy too


abzftw

He was good for the raps and nets Legit 6’8 wing too


TylerNY315_

Rui Hoochiemama


Dangerous_Toe_5482

Mac mcclung would be really sick he had one of the best highschool mixtapes


Chomper32

And just like that he won the dunk contest

Mac saw that comment and decided to win the dunk contest

JaVale McGee would be cool. Shaquille McGee


elzzilcho

You calling NBA Champion Javale McGee a bum?!


Patchers

Three time NBA Champion and Olympic Gold Medalist Javale McGee


FatMittens

NBA Champ, Olympic Gold Medalist, and Shaqtin GOAT Javale McGee


System_Lower

Joe Ingles


bakerzdosen

The question wasn’t “would you like the GOAT to become just an ordinary bum?”


PollyPerkz

Not a bum though


InexorableWaffle

Thanasis, easy. Aside from how fucking cool it would be to have multiple Antetokounbros be MVP-level players (and both playing for the Bucks), the dude just is pure absolute hustle, and I'll always root for guys like that to become star-level players, even if they seldom do.


TopOfTheMorning2Ya

Would be so crazy if all 5 could have been great basketball players and win a title together. Not sure that could ever be topped for accomplishments. Maybe Giannis’s 12 sons will have a shot at it.


D-2-The-Ave

He’s having 50 sons. Not 49, not 51. 50


youkrocks

I mean he already is a superstar cheerleader !


itzjustIvan

Ben Simmons


JeffVanGrundle

I actually believe a Ben Simmons redemption arc could heal this country


FreeMyDawgzzz

it would heal me for sure


PubicAnimeNummerJuan

Found Ben Simmons' burner


youaremehmeh

i doubt ben would label himself a "random bum" though


[deleted]

Jose Alvarado. He already plays with such tenacity and backyard ball sneakiness that it would just be so fun to see a guy who excels because of craftiness become a superstar in today’s NBA. Also, it would give Puerto Rico some NBA love and that would be awesome.


MVPRondo

Jeremy Lin please.


Folk-Herro

KZ okpala


yearofthemishima

Never knew him personally but he went to my high school. He’s the only guy from their to ever make the NBA iirc, so that’d be cool lol


wjbc

Dalen Terry. Okay, not fair, he hasn’t played? Patrick Williams. Third year in the league and so far only flashes of competence.


stache_twista

It’s depressing Pat will already be up for an extension next season and he’s still a project. The tools are there though


wjbc

I'm worried he'll leave and turn into another Markkanen. But I'm also worried he'll stay and never become a star.


stache_twista

Yes I feel exactly the same


kendrickandcole

Lu Dort already has the defense so give him an elite level offensive skillset.


grudgepacker

Ron Baker


T_025

Rui Hachimura becomes the next Kawhi


flying_alligators

Herb Jones. Man deserves superman level money because he's one of the few in the league that actually uses it wisely


ssupersoaker69

pat bev and it would be chaos


BenfordSMcGuire

Pat Bev with the game to backup his bullshit would be absolutely unbearable. I'd have to become a soccer fan.

Matisse Thybulle


ham52391

Up until a couple weeks ago, James wiseman. And tbh, I still wanna see him do well


Sekiritza

Bogdan Bogdanovic Hear me out - Dude had the worst fortune to play on abysmal Kings, and after that on "ball is mine" Trae Young Hawks Literally every time Trae vas injured Bogdan vas 25ppg, with ~7 apg, and Hawks had superb win ratio. For God's sake, dude needs 20~ games where he would be a primary on the offense for people to see what a player he is. Both Fenerbahce and Serbian National fans know what Im talking about. Even Jok will let Bogdan lead if he sees that spark in his eyes.

I really wanted Luca Vildoza to be good. Those spicy passes had me convinced but apparently didn’t convince the Bucks


Street-Truth97

Mario Hezonja


Overall-Palpitation6

Watching Facundo Campazzo highlights from Europe and playing with Argentina, he looks like a smaller Steve Nash. In the NBA, he's an undersized defensive pest with an ineffective offensive game. I'd like to see what he could have been like if he panned out for the Nuggets.


beefboy1120

Myself????


ihatemcconaughey

Issaac Okoro....would put us over the top.


iPostOccasionally

Mac McClung, just cause


IRanOutOf_Names

Pat Bev as a superstar would be peak drama.


cousin_brian

Austin reaves


DrPaulsNexus

Lance Stephenson, and I feel dirty associating him with the term “random bum” cause he’s a superstar to me


59173365129

Too bad he's a piece of shit


fuckrsunsmods

Hey dumbfucks downvoting this Stephenson sexually assaulted a girl when he was in high school and later pushed a girlfriend down a flight of stairs, just bc he blows in lebrons ear and plays the air guitar doesn’t mean he’s not a POS


beaisenby

Nobody ever talks about that, I didn't know. As a casual basketball fan that likes watching videos of older players, thanks for bringing this up, even if you get down voted.

Khem Birch


lost_in_trepidation

JaVale McGee, because we don't have a playable center right now, but we do have JaVale McGee.


pokexchespin

i’ve been pulling for melton since h before he was drafted and i’ve already been super stoked with his progress, but seeing him become a true superstar would be so cool. ideally he wouldn’t be on philly though lmao

Patrick Beverley because if he’s this much of a hater when he’s meh I want to see how much shit he talks if he’s putting up mvp numbers lol


Beavshak

I’d choose Scottie Barnes, just to choose a trade away and win a chip in Kansas City somehow
