FromTheLand+FollowWhen Did We Start Pretending That Winning Isn’t the Whole Point?Tim Duncan said it best: “That’s the stupidest question I ever heard.” When did we get to the point where championships stopped being the top priority in the NBA? Do rings matter more than anything else when judging greatness, or is there more to a player’s legacy? Where do you stand on the rings vs. legacy debate? #TimDuncan #NBARings #GOATDebate #WinningMentality #BasketballTalk #MyNBAGOAT #Sports #NBA 4126Share
Beth Holland+FollowMost PPG by a Teenager in NBA HistoryScoring as a teenager in the NBA isn’t easy — but these guys made it look like nothing: LeBron James — 21.0 PPG Carmelo Anthony — 21.0 PPG Luka Dončić — 20.9 PPG Kevin Durant — 20.3 PPG (50+ games minimum) All four went on to become elite scorers for their careers too. #NBA #LeBronJames #CarmeloAnthony #LukaDoncic #KevinDurant #NBARookies #BasketballTalk #Sports 201Share
FromTheLand+FollowManu Ginóbili: The Superstar in Plain SightManu never chased numbers. He never averaged 20 a game, only made two All-Star teams, and came off the bench for much of his career. But anyone who watched the Spurs knows — he was the engine of their dynasty. From 2005–07, Ginóbili played at a true superstar level: efficient scoring, relentless defense, elite playmaking, and the kind of adaptability every contender dreams of. Gregg Popovich said it best: “Without Manu, there were no championships.” He didn’t need gaudy stats to tilt games. Manu was a scalable superstar — and one of the most portable winning players the NBA has ever seen. #NBA #ManuGinobili #Spurs #NBAHistory #NBAGreats #FIBA #BasketballTalk 1321Share
Brittany Mills+FollowWas Dirk’s 2011 Ring the Hardest in NBA History?Dirk Nowitzki’s 2011 championship run with the Dallas Mavericks is often called the hardest road to a ring. The Mavs knocked out: Blazers (Roy, Aldridge) Lakers (Kobe, Gasol) Thunder (KD, Russ, Harden) Heat (LeBron, Wade, Bosh) And Dirk did it without Caron Butler, the team’s second-best player during the season who missed the playoff run due to injury. One superstar, no superteam. Was this the toughest path to a title we’ve ever seen? #DirkNowitzki #MavsNation #NBAFinals #NBAHistory #NBAChampion #BasketballTalk #Sports 434Share
Beth Holland+FollowIs Steph All-Time Better Than KD?Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant will always be linked — two generational talents who impacted the game in different ways. Curry’s Case: 4× NBA Champion, 2× MVP, revolutionized basketball with his shooting, and the Warriors dynasty will always be tied to him. Durant’s Case: 2× Champion, 2× Finals MVP, 1× MVP, one of the greatest pure scorers ever with a skillset that’s nearly impossible to defend. So when it comes to all-time ranking, who do you place higher: Steph or KD? #NBA #StephenCurry #KevinDurant #NBADebate #DubNation #BasketballTalk #Sports 32Share

Pamela Owens+FollowHow Would LeBron’s Game Translate if He Grew Up in the 60s?If LeBron had grown up in the 1950s and entered the NBA in the 1960s, how different would his game look? Would his size have forced him into a different position? How much would 1960s nutrition and training cut down his weight and explosiveness? Which of his strengths would still dominate, and which would suffer most? And beyond LeBron — which modern player’s position or style would change the most if they came up in a different era? #NBA #LeBronJames #NBAHistory #GOATDebate #BasketballTalk #NBAWhatIf #NBALegends #Sports 40Share
