Recently, on the Reddit forum in the United States, a discussion post titled “What are some famous people in NBA?” appeared, and American netizens published their own ideas one after another, the following is the content of this post and the comments of some American netizens.

What are some all time nba quotes that aged poorly?

What are some famous people in NBA?

One that comes to mind is Latrell Sprewell’s “I got a family to feed.” After a solid season averaging 17/4/4 with the Timberwolves in 2004, Sprewell received a $21 million contract extension. He turned down the extension saying he’s got a family to feed. The following season, Sprewell’s performance declined and he was out of the league the year after.

The original poster said: First of all, I thought of the sentence of lattrier-sparewell, “This is not enough for me to support my family!”

In the 2003-2004 season, after the Timberwolves played 17+4+4, sparewell received a renewal offer with a total value of 21 million US dollars, but he rejected the offer and said it was not enough for him to support his family. In the following season, sparewell’s condition declined and disappeared from the league after that season.

“We wish he were seven feet, but he isn’t. There just wasn’t a center available. What can you do… Jordan isn’t going to turn this franchise around. I wouldn’t ask him to. I wouldn’t put that kind of pressure on him. He’s a good offensive player but not an overpowering offensive player .”

Rod Thorn, GM of the Bulls, after drafting Michael Jordan.

Fans: “We wish he was 7 feet (2.13 meters) tall, but he didn’t. (In the draft list) there is no center, what can we do? Jordan can’t turn the team around. I won’t ask him like this, and I won’t give him such pressure… He is a good offensive player, but his offensive ability is not invincible.” After the Bulls selected Jordan in the draft conference in 1983, team manager Rod Thorne described Jordan.

[-]76ers_The_Price_Is_Wrong_ 1008 points 18 hours ago

The teams used to be bigger than their players.

Jordan kind of changed that.

76ers fans: once the team was above the players, but it seemed that Jordan changed that situation.

I know I’m a Bulls fan but this one is always funny

Bull fans: Although I am Bull fans, every time I hear this stem, I feel very funny ~ ~

“they better get ready to back that brinks truck up”

Fans: “They ‘d better prepare a truck for me.”

[-]Game-Blouses-23 21 points 16 hours ago

Someone did the math, and he technically ended up more than what would be in an average Brinks truck.

Fan: someone really calculated how much a Brink truck with average load can hold, and finally he calculated (the money of the top salary contract requested by Little Thomas) A truck cannot be loaded.

[-]Celtics_Atlas_Drugged_ 383 points 20 hours ago

This one is just sad. Isiah earned that money, he played through injury and it cost him everything.

Celtics fans: This stem is too hurt… Little Thomas must be worth the money… He was destroyed when he was injured…

[-][CLE] LeBron Jamesmr_antman85 25 points 10 hours ago

That was just crazy. He never should have played through that injury. It’s even more crazy how players are criticized when they don’t. He’s an example of why not.

In fact, fans: Crazy! He can’t play ball with injury! But what is more outrageous is that if a player does not play due to injury, he does not know what he will be sprayed! The story of little Thomas tells us why players should not play with injuries!

“It feels good to be in the second round .”

Fans: “It feels good to enter the second round.”

[-]Pistonsafter12delight 779 points 1 day ago *

Tmac up 3-1, then the Pistons clapped those cheeks to win 3-4. It was hilarious.

Piston fans: The Magic team 3-1 led by McGrady at that time led the piston team, but then the piston team reversed the promotion with three consecutive games 4-3 and hit everyone in the face. So funny ~ ~

Note: In the first round of the playoffs in 2003, the eastern No. 8 seed Magic team 3-1 led the No. 1 seed piston team, and then McGrady changed to say the above sentence.

[-]Mavericksprmaster23 1050 points 23 hours ago

If anyone is wondering, the answer is Yes…Doc Rivers was coaching that team.

Lone Ranger fans: I know everyone is curious… Yes… The head coach of that magic team is him, Doug Rivers!

[-]T1AA 197 points 20 hours ago

Holy shit doc

Fans: gift crab… Rivers…

[-][CLE] LeBron JamesKingVibrant 172 points 23 hours ago

Insanity considering he’d never make it out the first round sans being a udonis Haslem for the spurs in 2013… in which they lost in game 7 back out to ray allen intensifies

Knight fans: except for experiencing Hasham-style pension in the Spurs in 2013 and being dragged into the final by Ray Allen to grab seven and lose the final, McGrady has never advanced to the second round, which is too outrageous…

Note: In fact, McGrady entered the second round of the playoffs with the Rockets in 2009.

[-]Lakers Bandwagonlukewwilson 98 points 20 hours ago

Then he retires and the Spurs win it all the next year.

Lakers fans: immediately after McGrady retired the next year, Spurs won the championship…

Note: In 2014, the Spurs beat the heat to win the championship 4-1 in the finals.

“We have better players than him in his position already on our team.” – Carlos Boozer about LeBron after going 17-65 the year before drafting him

Knicks fans: “in his position, our team already has better players.” The cavalier Carlos Boozer talked about James before playing a 17-65-loss season and planning to choose James in the following draft conference.

[-]Basic_Commercial_806[S] 667 points 23 hours ago

I just re-watched that clip. Darius Miles said Lebron can just hop on their bandwagon, as if they weren’t the worst team in the league that year. LOL

Fan: I just read the interview again. At that time, Dalius Myers said that James was coming. Just follow their rhythm. It sounded as if they felt that they were playing well, it’s not like the tail of the alliance crane in that year… Ha ha ha!!

[-]inezco 144 points 17 hours ago

One of my favorite quotes was Ricky Davis saying he thought LeBron was drafted just to help him score more lmao.

Fans: My favorite sentence is Ricky Davis-he thought the Knight chose James to help him get more points, hahaha, I’m going to die ~ ~ ~

[-]NumberOneCombosFan 48 points 14 hours ago

The Ricky David quote I saw was:

“LeBron is gonna add to what we need and just make things a little bit easier .”

It doesn’t really seem like something out of line to say.

Fans: I have seen Ricky Davis’s original words: “LeBlanc will fill in what we need. He can make things easier.” I don’t seem to say anything out of line…

[-]jswagbo 13 points 13 hours ago

Yeah but o like the original post because I wanna imagine Rocky Davis being excited for Lebron to use his elite pkaymaking to find him for long 2s

Fans: upstairs is right, but I still like the original rumor that it can satisfy my imagination ~~~ thinking of James’s superb organizational ability in the future, you can better feed yourself the ball to throw those inefficient and long 2 points, and the excitement of Ricky Davis came up ~ ~ ~

[-]Shelton26 87 points 18 hours ago

All of them then get outplayed by an 18 year old

Fans: then they were all beaten up by an 18-year-old child…

“Now everybody wanna go play for the heat and the Lakers? Let’s go back to being competitive and going at these peoples !”

Bull fans: “Now everyone wants to play with the Lakers in the heat? We have to fight against those strong teams as before!!”

[-]MavericksMahomesMccaffrey 200 points 1 day ago

I mean he never played for the heat or the Lakers!

So far

Lone Ranger fans: Anyway, he did not join the Heat or the Lakers… It seems so far…

[-]AdamSandlerIsntFunny 800 points 1 day ago

The OG “keep switching teams… running from the grind. You boys is chumps .”

Fans: The original words are “changing the team in order to win… But he never gave up the test… You are a bunch of fools…”

[-]raiden_kazuha 1 point 22 hours ago

I like this more, feels like it got some dawg in it

Fans: I prefer this sentence ~ It sounds tough ~ ~

[-]Lakersjdh705 34 points 1 day ago

Who said it?

Lakers fans: Who said that?

[-]CelticsCOMMENTASIPLEASE 204 points 1 day ago

KD in like 2012

Celtics fan: Durant, it seems to be said around 2012.

“I’ll make em both”

Fans: “I will punish both balls!”

[-]Celticsmrr6666 90 points 23 hours ago

I ‘mma make ’em boff

Celtics fans: The tone is wrong, it should be “I have scored these two free throws!”

[-]LakersJs_On_My_Yeet 52 points 1 day ago

The first quote that came to mind. Still laugh at this shit lol

Lakers fans: as soon as I saw this post, this sentence came to my mind immediately! Up to now, it can make me laugh, ha ha ha!!

News link >>>>> Gewei recalled the scene of two penalties: I felt like a silly referee and told me that it was not his fault.

“I’m fine in the West”

[-]NBArapfigure 667 points 1 day ago

Fans: In the end, it turned out that he was fined in the West and had no opponents.

“I don’t believe a jump shooting team will win an NBA championship” – Charles Barkley, 2015

Golden State won the championship that year & have won 3 since.

Sun fans: “I don’t believe that a jump shot team will win the NBA championship.” Barkley said in 2015. The Warriors later won the championship in 2015, and later won three championships.

[-]ThunderBrooklynfool 229 points 21 hours ago

Tbf this was a popular belief before GS changed the game.

Thunder fans: but it’s reasonable that before the Warriors changed the basketball game, the saying that “jumper team can’t win the championship” was quite common.

[-]Warriorsbelizeanheat 2 points 18 hours ago

Yeah but Charles doesn’t do his homework so he didn’t even understand that we also had more points in the paint than any team in the league

Warriors fans: Yes! But Barkley didn’t know the Warriors at all! He didn’t even know that we had more inside shooting than any other team in the league!

[-]Suns1_quantae 2 points 15 hours ago

And GS also had the best defense in the NBA at the time.

Sun fans: and the Warriors’s defense was also the strongest in the league at that time!

[-]Warriorsmediarch 217 points 1 day ago

Not 2, Not 3, Not 4, Not 5, Not 6, Not 7

Warriors fans: “not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7.”

D. Wade:

Fans: Wade said

[-][PHI] Andrew Toney40Vert 84 points 22 hours ago

The funny part is his apologists said he was joking, but the full quote was

Not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven. Hey, and when I say that when I say that, I really believe it. I’m not just up here blowing smoke at none of these fans, because that’s not what I’m about. I’m about business.

76ers fans: funny, James later defended himself, saying that he was just joking at that time… However, he said at the scene at that time: “not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7… Hey, I put this word here, I absolutely believe it can be done! I will not talk empty words here in front of the fans on the scene. I am not that kind of person! I am honest businessmen!”

[-]immolxte 47 points 17 hours ago

went to 8 straight finals after that, I think you can say he failed admirably

Fan: After saying that, James reached the finals for 8 consecutive years. I think he was defeated.

[-]Earlier-Today 5 points 10 hours ago

Eight straight finals for those fans he was talking? Dang – I only remember the four, then LeBron bailing because Pat Riley wouldn’t do what he wanted.

I didn’t know I had it wrong all this time.

Fans: has he scored 8 consecutive finals for the Heat fans? Dude… I remember only four times, and then James ran away, because Pat Riley couldn’t meet his needs. I don’t know. Did I remember wrong all the time?

[-]Cap_Fun 250 points 1 day ago

“They ain’t that good, man. Let’s go.” James Harden talking about the Warriors in 2015.

Fans: “They are not as strong as they say… Come on!” In 2015, Harden described Warriors.

Note: in the west end of 2015, the Rockets led by Harden lost Warriors 1-4 and were eliminated.

[-]thefreedomjourney 68 points 1 day ago

Harden carried them that series tho, his first few games were insane, but warriors clutched up every time to win despite that

Fans: But Harden carry played that series and played very well in the first few games! In spite of this, the Warriors can win the ball at every critical moment…

“You had the last five years,” Beverley told Curry, according to a source. “The next five years are mine .”

Patrick Beverley: “It is Pretty Much Over For You Guys” to LeBron James after the LA Clippers signed Kawhi Leonard and traded for Paul George

Fans:

“The previous five years belonged to you.” Beverly said to Curry, “the next five years will belong to me.”

After the Clippers signed Leonard and got Paul George through trading, Beverly said to James, “you are almost finished.”

“I’m not a two-time MVP, I ‘ve never made first team All-NBA, I ‘ve never won anything. So why is there pressure on me to do something when there are guys that have won two MVPs, a bunch of MVPs and haven’t done anything either?”

Fan: “I am not a two-time MVP. I haven’t been in the best team for a while. I haven’t won anything yet. Why put the pressure on me? Some people took two or several MVPs, and now they have achieved nothing!”

[-]s4r4ngh43 267 points 1 day ago
