I know it's Extremely Early but this guy is already so good. I was thinking two of the best ever PF's (Barkley & Malone) Never won a champioship so even if he never wins a ring(And I'm not saying he never will) he could still eclipse them. I can Definitely see him being better than Barkley or Garnet & Kevin Mchale eventually. And i can see him going down as the best defensive PF ever. But Tim Duncan will be hard to surpass and Dirk is hard to compare to given how he plays.I think he can reach Top 5 All time but #1 is always reserved for the guys with the most rings(sadly) in any top 5 NBA list

In 2k14 he was Getting dunks in traffick, now he can't dunk at all(like at all). Why? Athleticism doesn't Just dissapear like that, whats 2k's reasoning behind this drastic attribute drop.

Kobe- Best Post game for a gaurd in history prolly. Most fundamentally sound player ever. Best midrange shooter ever. Could shoot under pressure.

KD- 6"9, Has good ball handling and can attack the rim. Can Score from anywhere on the floor. Unguardable Jumpshot.

Who's the better Scorer ?

Everyone is always asking the same questions when it comes to who's better in the NBA and I think we should stop with the over used ones(like Kobe vs lebron) Because we've all heard these questions and thought about them and we all have our minds set on who's better in our opinion at this point. Even the people that Ask these "questions" know who they're going with. So Im asking who's better out of these two because their young and new and things like Being clutch, being able to carry a team, & having rings doesn't really matter for them.

Who's better? Hayward or Parsons ?

Out of all the PG's & SG's who are the best 10?

I added them together because there are point Gaurds who are great as players but not great as a PG and get ranked lower than guys they are better than as Overall basketball players(EX:Russell Westbrook)

So who are the top 10 guards?

I think a lot of the teams in the east are lucky that some of those western conference teams can't take their place in the playoffs. I say the top 16 overall all Are

1.Spurs(I feel like a healthy OKC is better but that hasn't been proven... Well not in the playoffs... they swept them while healthy in regar season)

2.OKC (when 100% healthy)

3.Bulls

4Dallas(7 new NICE players and where already the biggest challenge the Spurs faced)

5.Cavs(need to get good at defense, their offense will come)

6.Portland(idk they got killed last year hard to analyze that series)

7.Clippers(have the talent to win championships but aren't clutch and certain players are inconsistent)

8.Rockets(james harden needs to play defense, dwight needs to make free-throws)

9.Memphis(have the size and the defense but they need more in their backcourt IMO)

10.Heat

11.Golden state(they already have everything, they just beat themselves... They aren't missing anything)

12.Wizards

13.Hornets

14. Brooklyn

15.Nuggets

16.Pelicans

What's ur list it's hard to do this from scratch lol so here's somewhere to start... And all the suggestions I made in parentheses(except for the Spurs) are what I think they need to win the title. If I didn't put anything they are missing too much to list and need to just get all around better.

I've only known one person that has cut themself before out of depression and I didn't really ask her about it because she stopped doing it before we had even known each other and I just didn't want to bring it up. But she told me about it because she was my GF and she told me enough so that i knew why she was sad but I never asked what I'm gonna ask you guys..... Why do people cut themselves?what does it do to make you feel better? Is it supposed to even make you feel better? Does it make you feel better? How often do people that cut normally cut themselves? Is it like a regular thing or do you only do it when ur at a breaking point and need to vent? How does it help you cope with whatever is bothering you? When you decide to stop cutting urself is it hard to quit? I really don't understand the upside to this... Even drugs have upsides you get high.. It's not a great upside but drugs are at least enjoyable to an extent... I don't see any upside to Cutting though. Help me out?

It's been shown that if you use haki you can harm logia devil fruit users that are other wise invincible to most(if not all) attacks....But does this also work with paramecia Devil fruits...I don't see why not but I've never seen haki work on Luffy in a way that made him not rubbery... Meaning even when he fought people who were proficient with haki(Rob lucci, Don Chingjoa, Enel, And hancocks sisters) when he got hit, even with Rokushiki Based attacks, he took the damage as a rubber man and his body absorbed a lot of the impact. It still hurt him but it was still softer than it otherwise woulda been.The only time he ever took full damage was when Blackbeard hit him because his Devil fruit allowed him punch luffy as a solid, non rubber, man. It was made clear he took that damage as a normal human by Crocodile, and never other than that incident has it been said that luffy took damage from a blunt force Attack.He's shed blood several times before and after that but idk why they would go out of their way to adress it that time unless it was different than the others.So does haki work on paramecia types? And even Though Buggy's Devil fruit specifically gives him protection against being cut could a swordsman proficient with haki cut him I mean when vergo grabbed Smoker he was still smoke, and all other logias sustain their form while being hit/grabbed by haki users. Meaning their devil fruit is still working.. But if you cut buggy you would be negating his Devil fruit completely.

Without KD in the conversation the best offensive player is easily Carmelo Anthony,with James harden and steph curry and a few others in the conversation..If u think it's ridiculous to compare harden to Curry offensively let me just say that last season AND the season before that James harden scored more points than Curry did in his BEST season scoring wise so all the haters can sit down..But even though Carmelo is the best scorer when it comes to Him(and the Knicks) talent/ability don't always translate into results.

But IDK curry can explode in a few games scoring off the charts.Lebron is the most consistent scorer with KD out and and Carmelo is the best mix of consistency and being able to Have super High scoring games.

Idk how much Lebron will score though since he has Kyrie and Love.But idk how Phils triangle offense and ball movement with affect carmelo,he will get better shots but he will also get less shots because the offense as well as the entire game will slow down.

Plus without Chandler parsons james harden is gonna have A lot more shots each game.

Lebron and melo have already won the scoring title once so they are the favorites to me. But things are different now ....I honestly don't expect curry to average more than 25(he never has before) and a scoring Champ usually averages at least 30. idk how I feel about saying harden or Lebron next to Kyrie and love will average 30 but maybe it could happen or maybe the bar has lowered and that doesn't have to happen

Are the cavs better now than the Heat team Lebron left Cleveland for? Not last years team with an injured D wade.The 2011 or 12 or even 13 heat. The cavs have not won 30 games in a season since Lebron left even with the talents of Kyrie Irving. The heat consistantly went to the playoffs before bosh or Lebron joined. D wade was a much better player than Kyrie is now. Even though Kyrie is good offensively his D is suspect.Actually it's just bad there's no suspicion.And D wades offense(especially a few years ago) was just as good if not better than Irvings.Love is an upgrade from bosh but only offensively his defense is also bad. Bosh blocked game wining shots. I don't see love doing that for the cavs, Hes not that guy. They don't have the 3 point shooters either.They got Kyrie Mike miller and Love as opposed to Ray,Mike miller Shane battier,Chalmers,Rashard(in 2013). This cavs team has about the same,Maybe less offensive power than the heat did. And the defense is definitely worse.The bench is about the same but the heat had Ray so it tips in their favor slightly.And they both have mike.That's just Shawn Marion and Tristan Thomson that are worth mentioning for cavs.Two of their best players have Never been to the playoffs.One of them has never even won 30 games in a year. The heat honestly should be 1 for 3 in the finals since they didn't really win, Spurs just choked and so did the pacers actually.The cavs won't get that lucky. Why should we think they can win?

I don't get why everyone uses championships in the NBA as a means to define individual greatness. Everyone knows no one can ever win by themself, it takes a great TEAM to win. But if the team isn't great why is that a knock against the individuals who are? If championships =better player then Luke Walton and Brian Scalabrine are better than Karl Malone and Charlse Barkley...with that logic Norris cole and mario chalmers are better than CP3(never even made conference finals before) and westbrook. That's so rediculous unless they make a rule where the best player from each team can play 1 on 1 for the title it's not an individual knock not to have one. I'm not biased at all if you don't agree then tell me why championships Matter in terms of individual success..... Btw there are entire franchises still that have yet to win a title I don't think one player could ever bring something like that to a team by himself.... And if u can't do it by yourself why is it apart of you individual resume ? Let me know people

If lebrons numbers went down do to Kyrie getting a lot of shots and assists and kevin love getting a lot of boards and also shots(that probably won't be too much of a negative for Lebron stat wise honestly but let's just say it was)... And KD stayed hurt all season could Russell be a possible MVP choice?

It's been durant and Lebron as the only two feasible choices for a while I'm wondering who could be MVP if you take them out of the equation or if they just didnt play like MVP's for a year.

Could it be Russell? Blake Griffin? James harden? Derrick Rose? If not one of them then who? Give more than one Candidate please. But I'm going with Westbrook Dude is ungaurdable.

Superman is strong and everything yeah but he's not even close to Goku... I mean I could go on and on about Goku's abilities and how he really doesn't have a legit weakness(like seriously you just gotta be stronger to beat him) but I have to say Goku at least has decades of martial arts training under his belt. Superman is just an over powered guy that can fly and he's not even as over powered as Goku. Goku can destroy a planet several times over why is this a debate? HOW IS SUPERMAN ON THE SAME LEVEL AS Goku?

They don't have to be super improbable it's just that I'd like to hear some good fight suggestions that I'm not already expecting like Luffy vs Doflamingo. And don't forget to add who you think would win and why

Dracule Mihawk is regarded as the

"Strongest swordsman in the world" bar none with no indication of a clear 2nd place he is just vastly superior to any other swordsman it seems. But he isn't considered one of the strongest over all characters, only the strongest swordsman. My question is why is it that shanks is considered so strong but he's a swordsman too it seems. I mean I know he's an emperor but he's obviously a swordsman right? Idk how he fights it hasn't been shown but he uses a sword and only has one arm so idk what else he's gonna do. Mihawk is confirmed to be the strongest swordsman by everyone in the one piece world, especially other swordsman, so isn't it safe to say that any one else who is a swordsman is weaker than him ? I mean just going by what the whole world says. But anyway based on all of that

Who is stronger Mihawk or shanks and why?

And why is Mihawk not considered top 5 strongest (by most)

NO BIASED FANBOY/GIRL answers Idc who is cooler or who is cooler

I know that it comes down to

Y=a^2 + b^2 + 2ab and then

It's

Y=a^2+b^2 + 20

Because ab=10 so 10 x2 =20

And

a^2 +b^2=30 that's a given

I know all of that but my question is where does the "2ab" come from I got help and they didn't explain where the 2ab came from once I had it the problem was easy but idk how it got there so please explain that part for me someone
