Should Chris Paul request a trade?
It has been 10 years in the NBA, and he hasn t reached the western conference finals. This year, he almost had it...but his team blew a 20 point lead in Game 6 with 7 minutes remaining. I feel, this is the last chance he ll ever get to the WCF.
I think Chris Paul should request a trade to the eastern conference. He can play terrible teams to get to the Finals, but he ll most likely run into LeBron and his Cavs in the 2nd round.
Jason Kidd & Kevin Garnett all suffered early playoff exits when they were in the western conference, and when they moved east...BOOM! They went to the Finals. I hope CP3 man up and take his talents to the east, because he s 30 years old and time is running out.
I think Indiana could be a good fit for him, they need a point guard and he can play with David West & Paul George(who ll get better as he heals on).
Or maybe, he can go to the Cavaliers. He gets to play with his buddy LeBron.
BQ: You think the Cavs would trade Kyrie Irving + a couple draft picks for Chris Paul? It seems reasonable, Kyrie + Blake is more perfect than CP3 + Blake....and Chris Paul could give the Cavs some imprinter defense.
What y all think?

1 AnswerBasketball6 years agoNervous before my date Help?
So yesterday, I went to the doctor for a full physical so I ll be eligible to play college football. But the problem is, that the doctor I was assigned to is my ex girlfriend. When I saw her, she looked even more attractive than ever, I gasped then she smiled & approached me. I didn t see her in 4 years since we both graduated from high school, we were a couple since our sophomore year & we bth were each other s firsts; anyways, we had a pretty long conversation, informed me how was I doing & she told me that she graduated from medical school only a year ago. She asked me what I ve been up to, I didn t hesitate to say I m currently working on my master degree & playing football for the school. She felt my arms & told me "with those biceps you re gonna throw that ball pretty far, seems pretty healthy". I blushed at her.. then she said in a joyful voice "I m not here to talk to patients, let s get this over with". So she gave me a exam, then when she examined my prostate, I got an erection & I was so embarrassed. She said; "I know you miss me", she teased putting it in her mouth... then told me strictly to put my pants on. After I was done with the exam, she decided to give me her number so we can hang out, it s been about 4 months since then & we spent mostly weekends together in movies or parks as friends. But last weekend, we kissed in my place, but it didn t lead to sex. This weekend, we re going out for dinner out of town & renting a hotel... is this my chance? I m nervous

5 AnswersBasketball6 years agoWhy do people say Wilt wouldn't be dominant in the 80s?
From footage I've seen the 60s, 70s, and 80s basketball isn't really different from each other....if Wilt dominated prime Kareem in his late 30s, by out-rebounding him and lowering his FG% in playoffs and head to head meetings....then you wouldn't know what prime Wilt would've done... and Kareem at age 30 dropped consecutive 40 point games on Hakeem vs Houston in the 86 Conference Finals....
There is even footage on YouTube of Wilt almost breaking 21 year old Shaq's arm by a handshake in the 1994 Eastern Conference tipoff.... and Wilt was 56 years old.
I'm just saying, Wilt would've sliced through the 80s easily because who's gonna guard a 7ft 300lb Center who ran a 11 second 100yd dash in high school....and had a 51 inch vertical....did I mention he once blocked all of Magic's layups in a summer gym in the summer of 1980 at age 40? Not a big Wilt fan, but you can't deny his dominance in different eras.

By 14 Seasons...
Wilt has been to 12 Conference Finals & 6 Finals Appearances.
Kareem has been to 7 Conference Finals & 4 Finals Appearances.
Wilt led his team in rebounding, points, & assists 3 consecutive times.
Kareem never did it once.
Kareem had 1 championship in the 70s... weakest decade in NBA history. Prime Wilt would've gotten rings in that decade in Kareem's position.
If 36 year old Wilt was averaging 23 boards & put up 20 points a game in 1973... Prime Wilt would've torched the league with 32 boards & 40 Points against.... whom? Bill Walton, young Moses Malone, Dr. J, The Big E, Bob Lanier???
Old Wilt ousted Willis Reed in their consecutive meetings during the regular season & playoffs.
Averaging more points & rebounds against him...
Kareem is NOT better than Wilt in any shape or form... stop telling yourself that.

5 AnswersBasketball7 years agoI believe LeBron will surpass Jordan in his career.?
Even though Lebron lost his recent finals. His career isn't OVER yet, he still got 5-6 years in the tank RIGHT NOW.
I believe when it's all said & done LeBron will be viewed as the greatest player to ever live.
The projected stats for LeBron is that he's gonna break Kareem's scoring record, he's gonna be Top 10 in career assists, he'll be #1 in Win Shares, & rank up 2 more MVP awards.
I believe he'll be the first player to have 40K Points in his career. He'll have a DPOY award also... not to mention the Cavs are GOING 82-0 at some point in the next 5 years. He'll make a 4 PEAT starting this season in the Finals & his playoffs records will shatter Jordan in HALF.
This is my prediction for LeBron:
42,342 Career Points
9.343 Career Assists
291.34 Win Shares in Regular Season
41.64 Win Shares in Playoffs
I'm serious.

1 AnswerSingles & Dating7 years agoCan we change NBA history?
I guess when people rank all time lists.. can we just start from players from 1960 - present day, we need to exclude Mikan, Petit, & Cousy from the list.. they were average white guys who were not playing in a competitive level.... with all due respect
We should start from 1960 to onwards because that's when the league expanded into more black players such as Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Oscar Robertson, Elgin Baylor, Nate Thurmond, Walt Bellamy, Dave Bing, Sam Jones, Hal Greer, etc.. they continued to put up consistent numbers out of their prime going to the mid 70s with more black athletes.. like Gilmore, Kareem, Elvin, Unseld, Reed, Fraizer, etc.
Everything should be erased pre 1960 from NBA history.
Agree or disagree?
