A: "Well I think it's...it's been pretty easy."

I think everyone in the world laughed at that. MJ goes under the category of players that do better in the NBA style of play. While on UNC he was in team system.

The draft is luck. From the numbers falling a certain way to The picking of the players. You can't even grade a player until his career is over. Walton I don't know much about. But from what I've heard is that he went vegan? And that's when all the injures started. Again I have no clue on We Walton. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk

Hindsight is one thing but they had a spot for Durant and Oden had many question marks, acting like it was all about need isn't entirely accurate. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

I felt like Oden was the correct pick. Portland had their versatile wing, ended up playing positions/roles 1-3 for them, and even though KD showed promise as a great scorer/shooter a wing scorer is relatively easy to come by in the league. They had a chance to add what looked like a dominant big man who would have given them interior scoring, rebounding, defense, as well as the missing piece to perhaps a dominant inside out duo with he and Roy.

Even fast forward just one year Portland added their SF in Batum. A move that likely would have happened regardless of Oden’s health. Had health allowed they would have moved forward with Roy, Batum, Aldridge, Oden, a quartet that likely could have won multiple rings.

Regardless when you factor in hindsight that’s twice now that Portland has selected an injury prone big man when they could have taken the two most (statistically) prolific scorers to ever play the game. At least in Oden’s case the talent was there and IMO still worth the risk. Not sure Bowie ever looked to be even remotely close to a Jordan-level prospect and drafting need in that instance was a moronic approach.

Well not to break your . But what they did in some clips is just scale and enhance. Nothing new here lol. I did see a clip of "the shot" from a camera angle I've never seen before on Reddit.

It was personality clashes and being undermined by their own front office.

I wish people wouldn't be so hard on him, and yes we're just discussing basketball here, we should not demonize this man because he might have not done things how most of us would regarding the greatest dynasty in history. He did what he did, he probably made some mistakes, but in the end, he's not here to defend himself and where he is now, he could care less about basketball. We should not forget there's a lot more things more important than basketball.
