This is the guy that stole one of Kareem's MVP awards... Kareem deserved it that year, but Cowens got it.
Kareem: 30/16/5 on 55% shooting
Cowens: 20/16/4 on 45% shooting
Compare him to Opal Malone... Hardly a difference. This is crazy
Malone still clearly better, but for a Pink diamond who's probably going to go for less than 100k mt it's crazy
Malone definitely isnt clearly better. Cowens has more HOF badges and nearly the same stats
Show 2 replies...you know what they say - Full-size pickup trucks are Detroit’s bread and butter, and when Chevrolet last redesigned the Silverado, they made just that.
but does it have best-in-class towing or fuel efficiency or 5 star safety rating like the Ram?
RATED #1 IN SAFETY, WHAT DO YOU VALUE MORE TOWING OR SAFETY
Show 14 replies...i value both. that's why i choose the ram
Sorry fellas, the big dog is in town. The brand new Chevy Silverado 2020 is gonna blow the old trucks outta town. We designed our to truck to have military grade aluminum steel and to become the NEW best in class tow and installed a eco boost to preserve fuel.
Most people are speechless when they first catch a glimpse of 2019s motor trend truck of the year that's also won 4 JD Power and Associate awards.
Yet when they see the trusted line of Silverado's, their pupils dilate from love.
Did I also mention that my Dodge Ram can haul a Falcon Heavy rocket (along with 12,000 lbs of steel beams) & drive to Mars and back in 4 hours while still getting an industry leading 28 mpg highway!?
The NEW Chevy line of trucks is actually able to go from 0 to mach 2 in 60 seconds.
the ram does it in 4.2 seconds
uh well ram is gay and Chevy has had more female partners in bed than Wilt Chamberlain
but ram rams women on the daily
who that
Wilt Chamberlain's GO - 4115 total stats.
Dave Cowens PD - 4316 total stats.
HMMMMMMM
2k had no reason to put this card out.. Is it that hard to not give him 86 ball control? At least give him 79 instead. They being ridiculous
Should I cop this card now or wait and see if Paul George is gonna be a galaxy opal?
PG won't be a galaxy opal im positive but if you have the MT wait for PG
I would freak out about him having 86 Ball Control, but most dudes are going to run him at PF, so it won't matter. The real speed boosting center is Thon Maker. That's who we should be worried about.
This card is literally an opal lmaooo
very similar to Opal Malone who I love. It hurts to take Opal Blake off my team but any Blake's release I can't get and if Cowens gets a Malone/Porzingis or even base 11 its a must have!
He got the base 11 cheese. I might have to pick him up and start hkm over opal blake
Fun fact: Dave Cowens won the NBA MVP in 1973 but was only on the All- NBA second team
2k Alternative Fact: Dave Cowens was actually prime LeBron James offensively with the defense of Scottie Pippen and the rebounding ability of Rodman (Stolen from DBG twitter)
anyone else peeps that it says he's 61

How thick are you? When did I ever say anything like that?? I was talking about the amount of racism towards black athletes, which used to be on a huge scale. Kareem himself was subjected to racism when they banned dunking in college basketball - the people in
charge couldn’t bear the idea of a black man dominating the game. And if we’re talking outside of basketball, many black in the south didn’t even have the right until 1965. That’s four years before Kareem entered the league. Just think about that for a second...
Just shut up james charles
why does it says this man is 61 wow 2k you really outdid yourselfs this time didn't ya?
What the fuck is wrong with this game why can he speedboost
https://2kmtcentral.com/19/lineups/389324/sorry-4-spam-but-thoughts4this sorry to post this but i need some help
For context this was the 1973 MVP race. Players voted for the awards at the time, and Cowens was more liked by other players. Part of it was probably race/anti-muslim sentiment. The other might have just been players being tired of Kareem winning MVPs.
If we want to oppose that sort of viewpoint, it's worth noting the Celtics went 68-14 and generally the best player on the best team won MVP. But still, Kareem's Bucks did go 60-22, and an argument can be made that Havlicek (24/7/6 on 45%, RIP) was better on the same team as Cowens.

Kareem won 6 MVPs. so the majority of the league just randomly decided to be racist that season?
No, but bear in mind Kareem had ‘only’ won 2 MVPs at the time. There was loads of racism and Islamophobia in the 70s and unfortunately it still exists today. Also this is a separate point, but it’s interesting how players such as bill Russell and Kareem used their platforms to try and combat racism, while MJ and Wilt did nothing...
What about the last part? Are you saying it's because of era or because of who they are as a person?
shut up liberal
Why don’t you shut up you don’t even have an argument
what is your argument every white person is a racist and Islamophobic idiot

funny he defiantly was not the reason they banned dunking. Black men had already been dominating the game since bill fucking Russell your argument is stupid
Lol you fucking idiot bill Russel played college ball in the 50s. They banned dunking in 1967, just after Kareem went to UCLA and started dominating.
yeah there were many black men who dominated before kareem it did not really matter if they banned it then or when he started dunking
That doesn’t change the fact that banning dunking had racist motives behind it.
white guys could dunk as well
Nowhere near as well. Kareem was easily the best.
no it was because cowen was white and Kareem wasnt
That situation is kind of similar to this year, with Giannis and Harden.
Damn they weren’t even close
[Deleted]
So he isn't white no more?
There was still racism in the 70s
this was a joke
That’s not funny tho
you must be fun at parties
Well me and my boys over here in the country side of sweet ol' alabama agree with that statement 100%.
Awh shit as of typing this my sister has told me shes pregnant, i'm gonna be a father!!!

Wait. There is still racism today, and yet youe friends (i'm assuming they're african-american, based on your language choice and name) decided to go shoot some white people, and the white people are being racist to them?

freaking cowens
irrelevant
https://2kmtcentral.com/19/lineups/389409/40k-mt-you-decide-what-i-cop
fuck the media lmao, thats the only reason this pasty 1940's bitch got an MVP
Players voted for the awards at the time.
you right but still he shoulda won over cowens
for sure. Kareem got shafted, he was the best that season.
