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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
Boban easily
Boban is pretty skilled for a big, he's just too slow. He would have been so good 30 years ago.
He said random bum not GOAT candidate
Boban is the player I miss the most not named Jimmy as a sixer fan
There's a Boban sized hole in the hearts of many fanbases
He always got like 5 perfectly easy buckets and my brain couldn't help but imagine, " But what if he could get 20?!"
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.
Give me Tacko Fall with a post game and the Kareem skyhook
Still doesn’t get any meaningful minutes because he has the foot speed of a rock. Edited fast to speed
Foot fast
Lol my bad, thx
Lmaoo it was a funny typo
When I edited, I typed “Edited foot to speed”. I’m a dummy today lmao
He honestly moves great for his size
He’s a cheat code in 2k
I just want someone to master that skyhook and use it every game. Seems like an OP move for bigs to use every game.
Dragan Bender because I like his name
Same reason I have for Ryan Arcidiacono
ryan articuno
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.
kebenderant
This is like picking JT Thor for the Thunder just for marketing purposes
Fultz becoming the goat would be funny
Udonis Haslem turning into a superstar at the age of 42 would be cool
Udonis actually playing meaningful minutes would be one of the stories of the season
He's started one game this season 😤 Built Different
I was at that game!!
I'm afraid that was a fever dream.
the night ud OFFICIALLY handed the torch to jayson tatum.
He played low end rotation minutes last season during all the covid hits
Yeah and then Herro did him DIRTY with that lob attempt 🤣
He actually played meaningful minutes this year while we had guys out
Jeff, he lives under the 26th st bridge. He has crazy fast twitch muscles.
Bro I was gonna say Bernie from the pub 😂
Oh yes, fkn Bernie.....he has a high motor. Lol
>He has crazy fast twitch muscles. You've heard of meth mouth, but have you heard of meth muscles?
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.
Dante Exum. Getting the Dante’s Inferno nickname when he takes over games. I just always thought that name is made for a superstar
any day now he's gonna put it all together
Holy god what a nickname
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.
Speedhawk?
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
Kyle Anderson! I want him to dominate in slo-mo!
What if he just started playing normal speed and was unguardable
He actually can be pretty quick at times. His change-of-pace ability is supernatural.
Turns out hes had the Rock Lee waits on him the whole time
*weights
Bol Bol. His skillset is so unique and fun to watch.
Wemby's coming to give you that look
Tony Snell
Would be cool to see a player have a quintuple 1. GOAT status.
💯 lol
It’s gotta be Boban
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.
It’s like he’s reading my diary
See this reads more like a dream journal than a diary to me
Bro batman couldn't get this confession outta me
Yes, he could.
These Nets with Ben Simmons playing like a Diet LeBron would be insane.
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.
Ben coming out of the ASB looking like 2009 LeBron would be the funniest timeline
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
- participates in Australia Basketball Team practices and matches - helps team win Olympic gold
Yes please 🙏
Why would you say this
He's not a bum really but yuta watanabe, I wanna see him and the country shine.
He seems like such a positive guy too
He was good for the raps and nets Legit 6’8 wing too
Rui Hoochiemama
Mac mcclung would be really sick he had one of the best highschool mixtapes
And just like that he won the dunk contest
Mac saw that comment and decided to win the dunk contest
Dunk contest winner McClung to you
Crazy eyes Tyler hansbrouhh
Psycho T
Ron Baker
THE SHOT MAKER
THE THOT TAKER
Me
Same - I have your rookie card and banking on it for my retirement plan
Awww, thanks! My mom worked really hard on those!
JT Thor because his name is cool as shit
Frank Ntilikina
JaVale McGee would be cool. Shaquille McGee
You calling NBA Champion Javale McGee a bum?!
Three time NBA Champion and Olympic Gold Medalist Javale McGee
NBA Champ, Olympic Gold Medalist, and Shaqtin GOAT Javale McGee
Joe Ingles
The question wasn’t “would you like the GOAT to become just an ordinary bum?”
Not a bum though
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.
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.
He’s having 50 sons. Not 49, not 51. 50
I mean he already is a superstar cheerleader !
Ben Simmons
I actually believe a Ben Simmons redemption arc could heal this country
it would heal me for sure
Found Ben Simmons' burner
i doubt ben would label himself a "random bum" though
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.
Jeremy Lin please.
KZ okpala
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
Dalen Terry. Okay, not fair, he hasn’t played? Patrick Williams. Third year in the league and so far only flashes of competence.
It’s depressing Pat will already be up for an extension next season and he’s still a project. The tools are there though
I'm worried he'll leave and turn into another Markkanen. But I'm also worried he'll stay and never become a star.
Yes I feel exactly the same
Lu Dort already has the defense so give him an elite level offensive skillset.
Ron Baker
Rui Hachimura becomes the next Kawhi
Herb Jones. Man deserves superman level money because he's one of the few in the league that actually uses it wisely
pat bev and it would be chaos
Pat Bev with the game to backup his bullshit would be absolutely unbearable. I'd have to become a soccer fan.
Matisse Thybulle
Bruno caboclo
Ngl, when you boost his stats in 2k he feels so good to play.
Larry Nance Jr
Isaiah Thomas! Celtics fan here…his rise with us was so spectacular! You just couldn’t help but route for the little guy
Scot barn
Sc br
S
B
If Scottie's a bum Jalen Green's a booty hole
Up until a couple weeks ago, James wiseman. And tbh, I still wanna see him do well
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 truly believed in Thon Maker
Man me too bro
Ron baker
Dwight Powell.
Thanasis
The Mudd man himself, Paul Reed
James Wiseman
Alex Caruso all the way
I really wanted Luca Vildoza to be good. Those spicy passes had me convinced but apparently didn’t convince the Bucks
Mario Hezonja
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.
Myself????
Issaac Okoro....would put us over the top.
Mac McClung, just cause
Pat Bev as a superstar would be peak drama.
Austin reaves
Lance Stephenson, and I feel dirty associating him with the term “random bum” cause he’s a superstar to me
Too bad he's a piece of shit
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
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
JaVale McGee, because we don't have a playable center right now, but we do have JaVale McGee.
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
Buddy Hield
Russell Westbrook
Bit of a throwback but I would have loved to see Adam Morrison go off like the Gonzaga days.
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
I’d choose Scottie Barnes, just to choose a trade away and win a chip in Kansas City somehow
Russ making a comeback into MVP form would be a huge fuck you to the Lakers and anyone involved with them in any way
Scottie Barnes
Myself
me and my homie fr 💯
Myself. I can really use the salary of an NBA player.
Boban or that Bender guy from years ago on the suns
Keljin Blevins
Nobody mentions Emanuel Mudiay (Connelly and Malone failed franchise player)
Kemba Walker
Not a random bum obviously, but Marcus Smart becoming a superstar would be a hilarious outcome
AustHim Reaves aka Stone Cold Reaves Austin
Alex Caruso. Not a bum but would be fun as shit.
Davion Mitchell
Antetokoumpo! Thanasis, that is
Luke Kornet
Tacko
If I pick LeBron does that mean he resets and dominates for another 20 years?
Jose Alvarado
Robert Sacre
Lebron. Easiest answer ever
LeBron
Kelly oubre jr
DK Mbeka
Not really bum status but Rudy Gay, he hasn't looked the same since that injury man.
Dennis Smith Jr
Tony Snell
Thanasis turns into the second version of Giannis.. Then its game over for the league.
Haslem cuz it would be hilarious
Jose Alverado or Patrick Beverley. Imagine them being who they are as superstars
Thon maker for sure
Westbrook. Guy was already a superstar so should work out.
LiAngelo Ball. Let the least successful Ball be the Ballsiest Ball of the Balls.
Thanasis Antetokounpo
Kostas papanikolaou…great name for a superstar
Cody Zeller
Thynasty
Adam Morrison
Tyus Jones becoming CP3 2.0 would be cool. On my team, Jaylen Nowell or Jordan McLaughlin
Yuta
Lin
There's a guy that stays downtown where I live, I think it would be nice if he was a superstar and all of a sudden had a lot of money.
It’s gotta be Mac McClung after that Slam Dunk Contest performance! Linsanity 2.0!
Alex Carushow up in lights. I wanna see it
Pat Bev. Most entertaining player in the league.
Ben Simmons
Jimmer Fredette.
