Name a past his prime NBA player that never won a championship before who you would like to win this year

Maybe one among Chris Paul, Milsap, and Conley deserves it for all their years playing. They may be other vets among the 8 teams remaining.

CP3 is still in his prime at 35. He's the catalyst of making Syns into a title contender and will get an All-NBA selection.

The likes of Joe Ingles & Blake Griffin are players who are past their prime.

He's well past his prime man. That just speaks to how insane prime CP3 was though.

He's not in his prime, but he's still insanely good

The CP3 we see today is good, but he ain't got nothing on prime Hornets CP3.

I'd like CP3 to never win because he's a low key dirty player, a flopping bitch and complains worse than anyone else in the league. That being said, I'd love harden to win so I appreciate my hypocrisy lol. Because he's a flopping complainer but at least he's not dirty

It is kinda weird how CP3 now gets away with all that in the eyes of the general NBA fandom.

He's like the spurs. They were a mud team full of mud players but nostalgia makes everyone love them. Same with him, he's so old now everyone wants him to do well

True. Manu was as bad a flopper as the worst ones today. Tony was infamously up to some scummy shit off-the-court. Bowen was literally purposely injuring guys while Pop turned a blind eye/enabled it.

His OKC stint rehabilitated his image

Joe will hit his prime in his 60s though.

Blake Griffin

I actually hope he doesn't win one. Pretending he sucks so he could get a buyout then turning back the clock on a superteam is a POS move

Didn’t know pretending he sucks meant dragging his team to the playoffs in 2019 on a broken knee

The narrative he gave up on pistons is so bad. 2019 he willed em to 8th seed and last year he saw that there was no point to put his body at risk. Media really fueling Blake Griffin is a snake take lol

What narrative? He did give up

He got done dirty by the Clippers. And after he got traded gave his all until his legs gave up, carring a shitty Detroit team to the playoffs while injured.

He owes nothing to Detroit or their fans.

I'd try to join a better team before I retire too, if I were him.

Then I’d root against you too if you did the same

What harden did is a POS move lol

Ok

Paul George seems like a good dude and has a good story with the broken leg and is also extremely underrated

People forget that though. Probably not a good dude but the leg thing yeah
