So who is your up to date MVP now? Is it James Harden who's offense is probably the best in the league in case of his all-arroundness, Steph Curry/Klay Thompson who are the best in the league at the moment, and yeah that game from Thompson, simply outstanding. Or will you stay with LBJ, or Durantula? have your say guys

I agree with the HORSE contest. That would be so sick. I'm sure all of those guys played that as kids, and probably still do for fun.
Aside from playing ball, I really enjoyed HORSE. It's a nice little way to have a little fun, but still be competitive. I'm sure a lot of people have made that suggestion as well. The NBA should consider adopting it.
I think the Slam Dunk contest is actually becoming less entertaining. It's so hard to come up with new, innovative dunks and the fans just don't seem to be as into it as they used to be like 10+ years ago.

Not really a huge NBA fan, I much prefer NCAA basketball to the NBA. I think they just don't play with the same passion that the college kids do. I mean, come on, nothing is better then the March Madness Tournament, right? That said, I will be watching the game, and the contests. Looking forward to the 3 point contest. Curious to see if the teammates Curry and Thompson will finish 1 and 2. One funny thing to me is last years 3-point winner is the 2nd biggest underdog in it this year (based on the sportsbook numbers.) Thinking of putting a couple bucks on him and making 8 times my money if he can repeat.

No way man way more passion in the nba during the playoffs. In the playoffs literally every possession matters, did you,see blazers vs rockets game,7 last year omgggg!!!??
The nba this year is like college ball on steroids, spurs and now the warriors play team ball passing all the time
Ncaa to me is like 95% jump shots or fast break, you dont see a lot of big men doing post play atleast i dont
I like to see guys like aldridge and z-bo make turnaround jumpers from the elbow or a pg like john wall who can take over a game

Even though I'm a huge NCAA March Madness fan, I have to agree w/ you here, to an extent. There are exception game's (like the one you mentioned) that make what you say true.
But, it seems almost every NCAA March Madness game is played @ a super fast pace & they always come down to the the final min or 2. It's "edge of your seat" the entire game. Even some of the high seeded teams make you say WOW! sometimes.

Crazy Bulls game against the Thunder. Was nice to see us grind out that win, especially hitting that 3 to put us up in the last 4 seconds of the game. Then we go and lose to a crappy Pacers team. And we just lost to the Spurs hours ago. With Rose, Taj and Butler hurt, it's gonna be a lot of grind out inconsistent games. Once Rose gets back in time for playoffs, it's going to be all or nothing. I think we should get through the first round, but I have my doubts about the second round.

I'm a big fan of the NBA. Even started watching during the Great and Enduring Jordan Chicago. Much a fan of the Detroit Pistons,. I first saw the team in the early 2000s. Not afraid of the word - Great Four: Rasheed Wallace, Chancy Bilaps Rip Hemilton, Ben Wallace. It is a pity that the team broke up and now uncompetitive .. I still waiting for the revival of the team and the return of Porsche!!!

Yeah I like Steph Curry too but my favorite player of all time is: Kobe Bryant. Its devastating this upcoming season will most likely be his last but man was he great! Once he retire then my favorite players will be : Steph Curry, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.

Yea i feel you on the Black Mamba leaving the game, i remember those good old Kobe games scoring 60 points, that unbelievable game vs the raptors scoring 81 points, and of course winning NBA titles. He will be missed.
I think Durant is a very talented player, good technique and nice shooter and Westbrook is pure power.
We cant leave Lebron out of the picture,he is a monster player. I think the Cavs lost the final because Lebron couldn't do it all on his own, Kyrie injury was the key of that final.

Kobe was a scoring beast, I dont think we will ever see somebody score 80 or even 70 points in a game again. He could literally shoot anywhere on the court and make the shot with ease even if a hand was in his face! Durant has the scoring ability like Kobe and Westbrook has the killer mentality like Kobe which he lays it all out on the court.
As far as Lebron, he is great/a freak of nature and I respect his game being that he is currently the best player in the league but its just something about him that stops me from calling him my favorite player. I like him but not nearly is a fan as I am for Kobe.
