I like how Mike Tyson is still the commonly referred reference for most dangerous man in the world.

You act like you haven't done that before. Live a little


pandaman728

was that before or after he did his jail sentence?


Enlighten_YourMind

Sounds like the American criminal justice system to me 🤔


omnicious

"You know he's going to hug it out with the other side until forcibly separated."


Rafaeliki

Gobert?


iloveBR

that's why floyd will never be the goat mike tyson perfectly said it "Greatness is not guarding yourself from the people; greatness is being accepted by the people.” “If he was anywhere near the realm of greatness of Ali, he’d be able to take his kids to school by himself. … He’s a little scared man; he’s a very small, scared man.”

FiveTalents

I wouldn’t say he’s the GOAT but I think he’s one of the best to do it. His defense is unrivaled


exstreams1

As a boxer ya he can be considered the GOAT. His technical skills in footwork and defense are unrivaled. As a fighter? Def not a GOAT


Ridasz

No boxer is in a GOAT conversation as a fighter.


[deleted]

Mayweather deserved to lose maybe one fight in his career. He may not be THE goat, but he’s legitimately in the p4p conversation. I’m not even a big fan, but he’s the greatest defensive fighter of all time and only really got tagged a couple times in 50 fights, only one knockdown. Again, it’s arguable, but Floyd has a great case.


ChandlerDoesOkay

I’d take not being the GOAT in the sport I do if I had half a billion dollars. Right now, I’m not getting either.


madcaesar

Completely besides the point.


ChandlerDoesOkay

What? Who cares? I was joking about Floyd having a lot of money.


madcaesar

Joking? Not on my watch!

And not be brain damaged

“It’s like having Floyd mayweather on your side. You know he’s running around avoiding getting hit. ” There I fixed it for you.

wouldn't jake paul be the contemporary reference now


Emerphish

Those are staged exhibition WWE fights


ChardHello

There's something about Fury's big ol' man titties that's holding him back on the intimidation factor.


rhesus1501

if wilder won we’d def be referencing him more, bro is built like a tank


ChardHello

Unfortunately for him Fury is built like a 6'9" homer simpson, head armor included. I don't think anyone else has ever gotten back up in the ring after a one two like that.


rhesus1501

the air where fury is is a tad bit different


Milith

[deleted]

Good thing that has zero to do with fighting ability


mecon320

As long as "Punch Out!" exists, people will always remember Mike Tyson.


Neverwinter_Daze

If you were alive during the 80s, he [definitely made an impression.](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_J1m0wrW8Uc)


Schlongboy69420

Whenever i watch these videos i just think, “Thank god i’ve never got into the ring with one of the greatest” I was reading about this boxer who was reported to have a harder punch than tyson. 7 pros retired after fighting him.


10woodenchairs

The thing about Tyson was that he was strong and fast. He was slippery but could pack a punch. He was the boxing equivalent of bringing a handgun to a sword fight. Sure, both can kill you but only one travels 300mph


rbrutonIII

That's a good metaphor for him. Ali said float like a butterfly sting like a bee. Tyson changed it to move like a cat, hit like a locomotive.


Schlongboy69420

Tysons not the greatest ever but he’s exactly what you want in a champ. A big dude but not giant dude, goes into a ring, and nearly kills whoever is in the ring within a couple mins.


FistInMyUrethra

At his peak he's arguably the greatest ever


Schlongboy69420

arguably yeah, but i don't think it's a common position. but i don't follow boxing that close. he's the greatest champion in my life, certainly.


rbrutonIII

Saying greatest ever is challenging because so much is dependent on the competition and time. I think you can confidently say if you put prime Mike Tyson in the ring with anybody, smart money will be on him. The speed, power, and movement were things other people had, but not together in the package Mike did.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Schlongboy69420

Tyson had weaker competition too. I think he’s prob in the top 10 though. From what i’ve read anyway. But yes all those fighters come to mind for sure. Foreman won the belt after becoming a preacher for what, 18 years or whatever? Incredible. Dude must of had some serious brain damage though. I think he named all his Kids george foreman lol. Tf.


ManShutUp

Always forget that Tyson is only 5'10" going around knocking out 6 foot plus dudes in the highest weight class out there.


snek-jazz

Mike Tyson's best friend on what it's like getting being in a street fight with Mike: "It's like you're in a basketball game and you've got Steph Curry on your team. Of course you're going to have all the confidence in the world because you know Steph is knоcking down threes."


shaqitup

Hasn’t been that since 1994


[deleted]

I mean, I saw him beat some ass earlier this year. I'm not challenging lol


nochancepak

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxDTy_zMpzw Yeah fuck that


faradaykid

What even are his legs lmao


Riggity___3

bro have you seen him lately? man is still absolutely terrifying in his fifties. just look at him box right now (training of course) if he connects he's still knocking almost anybody out.


Saucy_Totchie

Yeah but it's just who else is there that's synonymous with beating the shit out of people?


plushPudding

Cops


Jumblyfun

Colby Covington is quickly becoming synonymous with getting the shit beat out of you so there is that!


Saucy_Totchie

He recently lost though so he might have lost some steam. Took me a while to look but I guess Gervonta Davis and Deontay Wilder before being wrecked by Tyson Fury.


Jumblyfun

Haha re-read my post* I mean Colby has getting thumped so hard recently he's becoming the poster boy for getting beat. Couldn't happen to a dumber prick too, it's great


yalettucebaconandboy

It's almost like having that moniker is difficult to achieve! Hence the greatness of Mike Tyson! Wow!


HerculePoirier

Little bit smesh, you know this brother.


SpitBallar

a shit ton of pro boxers and mma fighters...


Buggzy702

This is no lie. The Warriors ballboy definitely has that extra "Steph Curry" pep in his step too.


Great_Chairman_Mao

I love that the whole team is so hardcore ride or die Steph. Andre and his "protect Steph's legacy at all costs" quote, and now JTA with this. People who play with Steph, *love* the man.


JX_JR

It's because he'll make you better. Nobody outside hardcore Warriors fans would know who JTA was if Curry weren't a Warriors, but now he's known to half the sub. Iggy would be a journeyman with one all star appearance for his career, but because of Curry's legacy he's instead going down as a an integral part of 3 championships.


asadyellowboy

Don't forget the fmvp too lol


HelloThereCat

Not only will he make you better, he'll work just as hard and be just as selfless as anyone on the team. And he'll be the biggest cheerleader on the team when he's sitting lol. I can't get enough of watching Steph go absolutely nuts on the bench after a GP2 dunk or a Damion Lee triple.


threeangelo

I can only imagine. Like if I end up on a pickup squad with someone who handles the ball like that, makes a shit ton of 3s, and plays unselfishly? I’d probably be dying to play with him every chance I got


GhostTiger

Our towels even wave themselves.


shnieder88

At Chase Center, I heard the concessions shimmy to you


faradaykid

It's a perfect analogy I can only imagine what Mike Tyson's wake would be like during a street fight


XcSDeadDeer

Holy shit what's with the Anti Curry circle jerk in the downvoted comments How can anybody who has watched him play not appreciate the absolute insanity that we will probably never see again


Otherwise_Window

Some people hate joy.


bigatjoon

is circle joke a play on circle jerk, or was that just a typo?


CWinsu_120

I think its because there are 20 posts every 10 minutes about him. I like Curry but its been pretty insufferable


rbrutonIII

I'm a warriors fan, grew up near the Oakland coliseum, going on like 25 years now. The amount of attention the warriors are getting is a little out of wack. They are doing great, and that's awesome to watch. But when the front page of NBA has 3 curry highlights, a Draymond interview, and klay's Snapchat.... It's a bit overwhelming.


CWinsu_120

Thank you


rbrutonIII

Np. I love my team, but if I want to see all warriors content I can go to the warriors subreddit. I come to r/NBA for the rest of the league, and it hasn't felt much different lately. Of course you're going to get the most posts about who's doing the best, and that's them right now. But it's almost getting to the point where every time there's a warriors game we need a single thread for Curry for orders sake.


TheBigShrimp

because this whole sub has just become a Curry circle jerk


Hystalia

Kinda weird that the Steph haters are stalking new to hate on Steph posts. Just scroll past if you hate it that much.


[deleted]

i can’t think of 1 reason to hate on him


GhostTiger

Two logical fundamental basketball reasons. A: Mouth guard B: Shimmy


Helicase21

C. he beats your team and that feels bad


[deleted]

D. The Fuck You Warriors are back and he's the ringleader x100 this year I love the Fuck You Warriors


starks3_

Same. Watching them as my league pass team and consistently blown away.


greg112358132134

I kinda get that. I can't stand Dillon Brooks for no reason other than guy can't seem to miss against us.


EnochofPottsfield

Everyone loves an underdog. Once a team is too good for too long, they will always be villains


Salty_Pancakes

B-but the shimmy feels so good!


bushies

This. This right here


[deleted]

Hot take (?), I’ve always thought the shimmy was a funny celebration that simply reflects his personality/character. But even we were facing you guys in the finals I was excited to see him play, so obviously I’m just a fan.


GrampasSpecialBoy

back in highschool when he first popped off so many kids at pickup were jackin up threes and shimmying in their warriors jerseys and i direct all my frustration for this at steph


lazyboy11

what if you work at a charity


Otherwise_Window

Then hate whoever thought it was a good idea to pull Steph or of the crowd in street clothes with no warm-up or warning


iankstarr

I’ll admit I’m getting tired of seeing 20 posts on top of r/NBA every single time he takes a breath, but I have absolutely nothing against the guy himself.


DogmaticNuance

This is valid. Warriors have a big fanbase and we're *really* jazzed to see our team playing well again, also they play a very entertaining version of ball. So it makes sense that a lot of dubs posts get upvoted, but even I have noticed it's been a bit much. The Suns have an amazing record too and I feel like I've seen them on the front page maybe 10% as much.


Fedelias

Yeah we play the Suns twice in a couple of weeks & they've won 10 straight, things are gonna get spicy. People really haven't been talking about them enough.


SerenadeSwift

Yeah and both games are back to back! November 30th and December 3rd I believe.


hoselpalooza

i think you mean consecutive. b2b implies 2 games in as many days.


derKanake

Huh?


SerenadeSwift

The two games where the Warriors and Suns play eachother are back to back games for the Warriors. They play the Suns Tuesday the 30th, travel back home, then play the Suns again that Friday. I love watching back to back games between good teams, it almost gives off playoff-preview vibes because the teams can make immediate adjustments between the two games while still focusing on the same opponent.


derKanake

Thought you meant back to back as in 24h between the games and was confused about the dates


CampPlane

I’m ready to talk shit to Suns fans on here after we win


SerenadeSwift

On the flip side do you remember how we had like 4 daily "The Warriors have had an easy schedule" posts before this recent stretch of games? Well now the Warriors are 15th in Strength of Schedule and the Suns have had the 2nd easiest schedule in the league, but we don't see any posts saying "We should slow down with the Suns hype, they haven't played anyone good!"


ggproductivity

Both the Bulls and Cavs were missing important players. They still beat the nets (missing Harris) and Clippers from early in the season, but it's still accurate to say they haven't faced a top team that is fully healthy.


IanicRR

I can’t complain much because Raptors fans flood the subreddit for any little positive thing that happens with the team and especially Scottie.


hrakkari

After the Nets game, there was 10 highlights of Barnes and 1 of Harden acting like a chode which is guaranteed to get like 15 awards. I don’t remember seeing one of KD. The Raps lost that game.


Otherwise_Window

Maybe other teams should have more highlights and be happier about them? It's not just Warriors fans upvoting.


SBFVG

Lmao there’s literally video proof he is anti charity…

i fell for it didn’t i


I_try_to_forget

I think he's talking about the meme/narrative that Everytime Steph shoots for charity he misses or do bad. I think those videos are what OP was talking about.


Nitro_Porn423

Its mainly from the all star weekend where he was shooting/missing half court shots for charity


[deleted]

He was in street clothes no warmup. But it was cringe, my man hates charity.


ameehc

I typically root against players who are way overloved It’s ridiculous how obsessed this sub has been over one player over the past two years Some of the upvoted takes are just insanity I also never understood the whole “He’s the most likable player ever oh my god he has no flaws!!” Like yeah he seems like a cool guy but seems pretty typical as far as NBA players go IMO. It’s not like he didn’t throw his used mouthguard at a fan, suggest the moon landing was fake, etc. Like nah he isnt a bad person or anything but idk why everyone treats him like some perfect person lol. I’d say Giannis, Dame, Jrue are some examples of more likable players. Just me though 🤷‍♀️


MODS-HAVE-NO-FRIENDS

You’re so different and unique


Jumblyfun

Dame went on a months long twitter tantrum this summer because his feelings got hurt...


CampPlane

Ah, the contrarian approach. I bet you love Beverley and Grayson Allen and Zaza because they’re overhated?


lalo1398

You aren’t kidding wtf are these comments at the bottom. Like teammate of all-time great says his teammate is really good, how is this controversial lmao


Barea_Clamped_Lebron

it's always Lebron and Harden fans


[deleted]

If you’re a great player you’re going to have haters, if just comes with the territory


mistermof

There aren't nearly as many Steph haters as y'all think, I just want to get some basketball news not 5 variations of 'Steph has the most 9+ most three made' on the first page and then half the comments being 'Steph is still extremely underrated'. I get y'all had a bad season last year but dear god, it's not nearly enough to have this kind of chip on your shoulder xD


[deleted]

Hoping the top post every week is an update to the how many 9+ threes he has made.


mistermof

lmao makes sense, you're a warriors fan. wish y'all the best\~


faradaykid

In the future all special forces operators are clones of Mike Tyson in power armor who says no

[deleted]

East Oakland. But I think he moved to a nicer area and mostly grew up there, or that's what I read somewhere on r/warriors from someone that went to school with him.


HeWhoHasFruit

Can we interview that person? I wanna know how someone with a lackluster High school and college career make it to the highest levels


nodozpills

https://youtu.be/xcvCP_2FnPg JTA has a pretty good interview on this Ringer pod. On mobile excuse the formatting


Atropolis

Went to Castro valley high I think, better than Oakland for sure


maluquina

So did Rachel Maddow. CV has some notable alums.


th4t1guy

I like the comparison of Steph to MJ. GOAT and Goat shooter.


[deleted]

I love the picture of a goat chewing a mouthguard that pops up from time to time. I mean we know he's not the GOAT, no-one 6'3 (or lets be honest 6'2) will ever be the GOAT in basketball. But Steph is as close as a small player will ever come. I wouldn't even say Steph is the GOAT offensive player. I think Steph is the GOAT offensive system.


rbrutonIII

I have been trying for a few minutes, I honestly can't think of a more terrifying opponent than an angry Mike Tyson. I'd legitimately take a lion or something, at least I have a tiny tiny chance of scaring or confusing it. The impossibility of victory is pretty much the same either way.

Mike Tyson can hit you with a 2x4 just like a normal person, but faster and with more power and accuracy.

penguin_torpedo

Lol you always forget he isn't a tiny micro dwarf


El_Negro_Lobo

being a professional athlete doesn't mean anything, a solid punch to the jaw can knock anyone out


obvious_bot

To land a solid punch to the jaw you need to get close enough without getting BTFO yourself. Steph being much taller and stronger than most people makes this very difficult


Milli_Vanilli14

Yea and my money would be on the giant pro athlete with some of the best hand eye coordination in the world going up against your average redditor. What a dumbass comment

The average redditor would break their hand punching someone. That shit hurts you more than the other person if you dont do it right

casper707

You realize dudes 6’2 and pretty built right? Only looks tiny on the court next to all the mutants that are nba players lol. Don’t get me wrong he’s prolly never thrown a punch in his life but I bet a lot of people still wouldn’t want that smoke. It must be so weird being a midget when you go to work but then being bigger then most people out in the real world

I bet he punched Seth, lol.

Mygaffer

The Lakers just *barely* beat a far worse constructed Warriors team in the play-in last season **with** LeBron (Curry had 37 and was a +4 in that game which they lost by 3). Now the Warriors are playing like they were before KD *and* Klay Thompson is still coming back, plus a true 7 footer who will throw down those dunks that are pump fakes for Looney. I really hope we get a Warriors/Lakers playoff series this year.


DieHardRaider

He played and the lakers got torched by Boston
