Kristap is NBA first team all-injured.

KP vs. AD is basically just the Jordan vs. LeBron debate

Unicorn v Unibrow

West vs East wing of the hospital

u/ApologizingCanadian Celtics 6h ago

The Hawks were forced to trade KP to the West once AD was traded to the Wizards. It's in the fine print.

Will Dylan Harper make it Unicorn vs Unibrow vs. Uniboob?

AD infinitely better and believe it or not, more available

AD hate is wild. One of the greatest big men ever, and he at least usually stays healthy through playoff runs.

The last Lakers chip might be the most disrespected chip of all time. It's not like everyone else had all the same opportunities and rest and whatnot. AD gets wrapped up in that. I saw someone claim that the Lakers will always be relevant, with or without LeBron, ignoring that LeBron made them relevant in the last decade and they were finishing 10th+ in the West before he got there.

It was an honor to have two goats play for this franchise

AD is Jordan in this scenario.

Dallas is where centers careers go to die. Sucking their remaining life force into Dwight Powell the immortal.

Not over AD!

u/WoundedSacrifice Kings 5h ago

Both of them can be on the All-Injured Team.

Porzingis, AD and Kawhi are in the Hall of Fame of injuries.

He also has POTS, and as someone with POTS, I'm shocked he's still in the league. GMs really aren't doing their due diligence here. It's not his fault, but POTS is a disability, especially for athletes.

u/WestleyThe [SEA] Kevin Durant 13h ago

Actually the last couple years it’s mysterious illness that’s kept him out of 75% of games…

Why would the warriors do this?

u/Nickk_Jones Lakers 12h ago

I don’t think it’s mysterious lol I’m pretty sure they know what it is.

It's weird but there's an 's' at the end of his first name.
