Oh, I do. I prefer exercise though, as opposed to ingesting rocks.
Where were you last night? We all just assumed you got some really good and were unconscious for most of the game, kind of like LeBron except in a "destroying your body" kind of way.

I was here last night. I posted a congratulatory post to the Heat and even made a thread.
I don't do drugs. I think I've mentioned that plenty of times. Keep trying to make jokes out of your ass.
You're a terrible gy poster who's butthurt soars higher than any other person I've come across on the internet.
But he wasn't talking . He didn't mention Tim Duncan at all and it's not exactly a slight to say Barkley is better. To say this is "bulletin board material" is to literally say, Pop might think this would inspire the team and especially Timmy, which is honestly laughable.
lol non issue even barkley picks duncan over himself
lol sperm fans pissed...put a sock in it clowns when ppl dont agree with you
shocked he didnt pick Dr J or himself over bird at SF tbh, otherwise it would have been a solid all-time monkeyball squad. monkeyballers admire monkeyballers imho
That's a compliment coming from you.
I dont know how Durant forgot about Malone lol (since he was picking retired players)
Durant probably puts a premium on not being dependent on a PG.
blasphemy
Durant had a good list until he got to PF and C. Two terrible picks. You don't need Shaq when you have Bird, MJ, Magic, and a real, non-undersized PF like Duncan or KG. You want someone like Hakeem, Russell, Ewing, or Robinson instead of Shaq. Someone who will defend like a pit bull but still score, not just do almost nothing on D' but try to stay in front of his guy then go for rebounds, and only run hard when he's going back to the offensive end in the hopes he gets the ball. Kareem would've been a better pick too.
Durant obviously didn't put much thought into his team. Borderline soft frontcourt defense and a bunch of high volume scorers when there's only so many shots to go around on a given team.
Just like his playing style tbh...
Malone was better than Barkley anyone who says otherwise didn't watch them play..
Duncan really isnt a power forward (hes a center) and Shaq was MUCH more dominant than Duncan.
Durants list is correct.
Even if that were true, Barkley is still a terrible choice. Malone and Pet were better.
Barkley > Malone. Malone was a great finisher off Stockton created offense.
Malone was better lol
Kobe didn't have a problem calling Duncan the best PF/Center to ever play the game. In turn, Duncan called Kobe a cross eyed rapist.
Funny everyone fussing over KD's choice of top 5. If you sit 100 people with basketball knowledge in the same room, had them write down the top 2 players at each position, you would get a total of 200 names for each position. Their would be 5-10 players dividing up the votes at each position. KD's list is acceptable, but has flaws in it. I wouldn't run him down for his choices. Mine would be different.
Robinson was an excellent defender. Something a Craptors fan wouldn't know about. You probably weren't even watching basketball when he was in his prime.
Because he could not get calls on those guys.
Most people would say that, especially those who just look at the stats from the surface. But when you actually look deeper, you will see that Barkley was the better player. By better, I mean that a team should pick Barkley over Malone if it was starting from scratch.
Malone was fantastic with a phenomenal PG, we know that, but we don't know how he would fare without one. We sort of know what Barkley could do with an all-star level PG (Kevin Johnson), but as good as KJ was, he was no Stockton when it comes to creating offense for his teammates.
I couldn't find the points assisted stats going way back in the day, but I am positive that way more of Karl Malone's points were assisted (as a result of the pick and roll), while Barkley created most of his own offense. The downside is that Barkley was a low post pound the ball kind of guy, who tends to stop the offensive flow of a team, but Barkley could create offense as well as anyone in that era.
Barkley led the league in True shooting percentage for four straight years, which was phenomenal for a big man who doesn't shoot a lot from 3, take into account that those were the 6ers years when his teammates were horrible and the entire opposition was strictly to stop Barkley, and this is even more amazing.
Malone once led the league in offensive win share with 12.1 in the 97-98 season. While Barkley never led the league in offensive win share, he 3 seasons of 13+ from 88 to 90 (that is during the Jordan gone nuts years and Magic Johnson's prime and Barkley finished #2 in all three of those seasons).
Malone, with his longer career, obviously had a higher career win share (just like playing longer gave him more points that Jordan while Jordan had a higher PPG average and was obviously the better scorer), but when you look at career win share per 48 minutes, Barkley stood at 0.216, while Malone had 0.205, Malone had a career high of 0.268, while Barkley did it slightly better with 0.269. Despite a shorter career, Barkley had 4 seasons of 0.250 win shares per 48 minutes, while Malone only had 3. Malone had a career high win share of 16.7, while Barkley has two seasons that bested/tied that figure, with a high of 17.3.
Malone was much better defensively, I will give you that, but Barkley simply helped his team won more games. Also take into account that players on better teams usually gets higher win share numbers (sort of like +/-), and Barkley was stuck on some truly horrible teams more big chunks of his career, and you can see Barkley was simply the guy you want to build around rather than Malone.
Also, Barkley was the better rebounder, outside shooter, and passer, and you will see that Barkley has a very strong case of > Malone.
I haven't even taken into account Barkley's performance in the playoffs vs. Malone.
