Beth Holland+FollowInsane Bulls Payroll 💰The 1997–98 Bulls payroll shows just how wild the gap was: Michael Jordan: $33.1M (highest in the league by far) Scottie Pippen: $2.7M (6th highest… on his own team 😳) Steve Kerr: $750K Dennis Rodman: $4.5M Jordan was basically making more than the entire rest of the roster combined. Looking back — was this the most lopsided payroll in NBA history? #NBA #ChicagoBulls #MichaelJordan #ScottiePippen #NBALegends #BasketballHistory #BasketballDebate #Sports 10120Share
Adam Smith+FollowDid Chris Finch break the Thunder’s whistle?Before Chris Finch’s ejection on December 12, the Thunder were 25–2. Since then? They are 5–5, and their record is 30-7 now. Finch has been one of the more vocal critics of how OKC’s physical, swarm-heavy defense gets officiated, so his blow-up at the refs wasn’t exactly out of nowhere. At the time, OKC looked unstoppable. People were seriously talking about win-record territory. However since that moment, the Thunder have looked far more mortal. What do you think is going on here? #NBA #OKCThunder #NBADiscussion #Officiating #BasketballDebate 00Share

James Allen+FollowWhat Finals felt the most evenly matched to you?My pick: the 2005 NBA Finals — Detroit Pistons vs San Antonio Spurs. Two elite defensive teams. Two championship cores at their peak. Every possession felt like a chess match — it went the full 7 games, and neither side gave an inch. What’s your pick for the most evenly matched Finals ever? 🏆 #NBAFinals #Spurs #Pistons #NBAHistory #BasketballDebate #Sports #NBA 280Share
Nicholas Buchanan+FollowOne of my favorite prospects ever — what was Oden’s ceiling if he stayed healthy? 🤔Dominant size, elite defense, soft touch around the rim — Oden had everything. But injuries kept us from ever seeing his full potential with the Portland Trail Blazers. If he never got hurt… Are we talking perennial All-Star? DPOY? Hall of Fame? 👀 Drop your takes ⬇️ #GregOden #PortlandTrailBlazers #NBAWhatIf #NBAHistory #BasketballDebate #Sports #NBA #BigMen 148Share
Beth Holland+FollowPaul Pierce on LeBron’s Legendary Game 6 in BostonPaul Pierce looked back on LeBron James’ iconic Game 6 performance in the 2012 Eastern Conference Finals: “He came to Boston, Game 6, I think it was in 2012, and he gave me the 40-something piece, because I was about to go back to the Finals. He played the game of his life... I helped him get over the top, because I had to test his mental, his physical, and that’s why he’s one of the GOATs.” LeBron dropped 45 points, 15 rebounds, and 5 assists to force a Game 7 — one of the greatest elimination-game performances in NBA history. Even Pierce admits that night was a defining moment that elevated LeBron into the GOAT conversation. #LeBronJames #PaulPierce #NBAPlayoffs #NBAHistory #GOATDebate #BasketballDebate #Sports 131Share
Pamela Owens+FollowWhat If LeBron James Was Drafted by the Detroit Pistons? 👑In an alternate timeline, Carmelo Anthony goes #1 to the Cleveland Cavaliers and LeBron goes #2 to the Pistons. The Pistons were already title-ready — they won it all in LeBron’s rookie year and went to back-to-back Finals. Imagine LeBron joining a prime core of Chauncey Billups, Ben Wallace, Rip Hamilton, Rasheed Wallace, and Tayshaun Prince. Would we be talking about a full-on Pistons dynasty? How many rings do you think LeBron would’ve racked up? #NBAWhatIf #LeBronJames #CarmeloAnthony #DetroitPistons #ClevelandCavaliers #NBADebate #NBAHistory #BasketballDebate #NBA #Sports 3712Share
James Allen+FollowHow Good Was Prime Reign Man?At his peak, the “Reign Man” was an explosive force — a walking highlight reel who combined unreal athleticism with power and flair. During the mid-90s, he averaged around 19 PPG and 11 RPG, led the Seattle SuperSonics to the NBA Finals in 1996, and was a 6-time All-Star. His in-air power and rim-rattling dunks were unmatched — and his energy made him one of the most feared forwards of his era. Do you think Kemp could dominate in today’s NBA? #ShawnKemp #ReignMan #NBAHistory #SeattleSuperSonics #NBALegends #DunkKing #90sBasketball #Sports #NBA #BasketballDebate 4210Share
Beth Holland+FollowKD Thinks the NBA “Set Him Up”Kevin Durant said the NBA set him up by making Thunder vs Rockets the season opener and the first game on the new TV network: “I’ve been in this league a long time. They know my history with that franchise… I don’t know if it’s cool or not, but it is what it is. I just hope people are happy about the ring ceremony — not just watching for my reaction.” He added that while it’s been 10 years, his name still stirs things up in Oklahoma, and the NBA definitely knows it. #NBA #KevinDurant #Thunder #Rockets #BasketballDebate #Sports 7012Share
