Let's be real; these two weren't exactly winners (in the NBA) when the NBA75 list was revealed a few years ago. Sure, they were/are good scorers, but that did not translate into championship wins for the teams they played on. Scoring titles and stat padding has proven to give limited success in the pace and space era. Which of these two was the more overrated choice for the NBA75 list?

I will go with Carmelo Anthony. Strictly based off of his NBA career, he has been mediocre at best, and a black hole at worst. He had teams constructed specifically to cater to his only skill set (scoring), but the returns were laughable. Early playoff exits =/= a successful career, otherwise Tracy McGrady would be a top 10 of all time player. Melo certainly knew how to exit the playoffs in an underwhelming fashion, all while making his team out to be the issue. Kobe Bryant had the career Carmelo wishes he could've had.

Dame, despite being a scoring guard, was still able to make conference Finals appearances. His injury history did him dirty, but at his best, he was a capable threat to score or assist with a score. It truly is a shame to see him co-pilot an offense with Ja Morant, but if he can instill some veteran guile while also making the shots where it counts, Portland could make a bit of noise in this upcoming season's playoffs.

Curious to see what y'all think.

I was 6 years old when this broadcast came on, and it lived rent free in my head ever since. Sure, WCW was floundering, but to see wrestling's biggest villain buy out his competition and be so smug about it...god damn Vince.

We prefer a poke composition when teaming up. I main support, so my input on Domina is very limited. Her kit seems nice for a poke comp, but every time my tank buddies pick a tank, they go Sigma or Orisa because they feel Domina does not provide immense value. They argue Sigma's AoE attacks are more valuable in terms of clearing space, and Orisa...well...is Orisa. I follow her with my Zen and proceed to get another 25 kill / 30 assist game.

One friend said Domina was put in the game to give Tank mains a "gooner" option to sell skins, not for actual serious playing. I do not keep up with the OWL scene much, but all the streamers I do follow never seem to mention her. Likewise, enemy Dominas always seem to inevitably switch when we roll them one too many times. I get she is still "new" to the game, but there has to be a niche for her somewhere.

Is she just an eye candy option for tank mains? Will she actually be considered "meta" at some point like Sigma was?

Still cannot believe we got so little of this guy. We needed more than just a brief sexual awakening in a hotel room. He should've been a focal point as an aspiring director teaming with SCDP to bring them to the top of the TV ad game. Maybe a subplot of him ousting Creepy Crane from the TV department and exposing him for the sleazeball he was.

The way Matt Weiner shunned Bryan Batt for his sexuality but chose to give his wooden plank of a son a persistent role in the show is proof of nepotism at it's finest. Sal deserved better.

I remember playing this when it came out, and it filled some of that empty void where my heart was. The cute characters, the wild premise, the sound and art were refreshing. It didn't need violence or edgy material to endear. If it had came 10 years earlier during my halluncinogenic phase, it would be an easy 10/10. Sober and boring me gives it an 8/10.

The game ended on a cliffhanger, but there was plenty of room to expand the story and snax available. I would love an expanded sequel personally. What do you think?

All pictured former superstars on their last NBA team before retirement. Which one do you think was the worst or most painful to see?

I really wanna say Brandon Roy, but I felt like he should've known better than to risk his health anymore than he already did.

I have to choose CP3. He was still a viable bench player when he was on the Spurs. To go back to LAC and get treated and thrown out the way he was...disrespectful to one of the best to ever do it.

It is absolutely insane how little respect he garners in serious basketball discussions. He anchored an elite defense in Orlando and Houston for almost a decade straight before his back gave out. He brought Orlando to their most recent NBA Finals trip. It took an otherworldly effort from Kobe and Pau Gasol to keep this man from his first championship.

He earned his place in NBA lore as the last great dominant big before the 3 point era blew up into the game we see now. To see chuckers like Damian Lillard and Carmelo Anthony were voted "greater" players on the NBA 75 list over Dwight Howard is a testament to how detached the media is from the actual game. He has the counting stats. He has the awards and accolades. He has one (1) more championship than Carmelo, CP3, Karl Malone, Charles Barkley, T-Mac, and a handful of other superstars.

Did Shaq really ruin Dwight's reputation THAT bad? Is the media biased because he wouldn't give in to conventional norms and develop a 3-point shot?

There was not a lot going for this one. I wanna like Sam Wilson's Captain America more, but this movie did him little justice. The action was limited. Two iconic Marvel villains reduced to a total of 10 minutes of screentime. The spy/espionage vibes were whimpering dogs compared to what was done in Civil War. Sam just seemed lost trying to establish himself seriously as Captain America.

Saw it in theaters, and walked away with a "meh" vibe. I have rewatched Thunderbolts* and First Steps since seeing them in theaters, but haven't been compelled to watch BNW again because there isn't anything particularly gripping about what they did with this film. This was like a bottle rocket compared to the other Cap films; nice to see it there, but when you want a real show, you point to the mortar that is Steve Rogers and enjoy.

It's weird. I do not regret seeing it, but can easily point to a dozen better MCU films before this one gets brought up. Dpes anyone else feel the same way?

*heart rate intensifies*

Weiner was sleeping on such a goldmine with this character. He should have been a reoccurring menace for Don. Perhaps a later season where SCDP lands his show as a client, and Don finds out after a drunken California getaway. How he maneuvers out of that one would have been amazing to see unfold. All while this smarmy gremlin keeps pecking away at Don, getting under his skin during ad shoots for his show and such.

Jimmy Barrett deserved more from the show, and it's a shame we didn't get that.
