Mavs could've taken Trailblazers spot already, but they keep having abysmal 4th quarters.

9 hours ago — The Nets said Sunday that Irving was out for personal reasons/family matter. The point guard has missed eight games this season for personal reasons

Cannot imagine this Lebron James dude being able to survive against the late 80s Hawks or Suns, let alone the Celtics, Bulls, Sixers, Bucks, Pistons, Lakers, Jazz, Knicks or Rockets.

What a whining wimp this guy is... Personification of the entire snowflake generation!

Different eras, different way of playing. Can't compare. I was rooting for GSW, but there was definitely a flagrant foul when somebody elbowed LeBron's face and nothing happened. LeBron was visibly pissed off after that and scored a few great 3pt shots.

I'm sure LeBron will find a way to prove me wrong, but they sure don't look like a finals team.

Different eras indeed, but definitely can compare.

Lebron has the aura of Sailor Moon, man. He just doesn't feel like he belongs in any of the "great" conversations. It's as if someone shoves him there, as if he crushes the party uninvited. I just don't see how he fits, the whole personality and playing style just doesn't cut it for me, plus he plays in a very weak era and has made a name for himself in the weakest a conference has been since the 1950s...

I don't care if he gets to play for 15 more years, that's a longevity factor, not a greatness one.
I much rather watch players like Melo, Tmac, Iverson, Kobe, Wade, Carter, Durant or Roy during their peak than Lebron. Far more flair, higher skillset and less hype [for the majority of those] with all the ref help that came with it.

Lebron lacks the finesse like your above mentioned players, and is a jack of all trades, master of none player. Yet he is the best 'master at none' type of player I know of.

Ma man's Morant :proud:

Hell of a game it was and so glad they went through when it seemed very unlikely with the Warriors having all the momentum heading to OT and that fuckin non-challenge on the 3 pointer play from Memphiese's coach, the fuck was he thinking? Also, their centers depth is remarkable, that Tillman guy is a rookie? My god.

I think what you mean to say is you don't find Bron's game aesthetically pleasing compared to the greats (or even Wade, AI, TMac, VC, etc in their peak), his handles, pullups, post moves, etc all look robotic or lack finesse. But to say he's a jack of all trades and a master of none when he holds record for most points in the playoffs, is 3rd in all-time points scored, 8th in career assists, etc

I dislike Lebron as much as the next man but we shouldn't downplay his feats. His longevity alone needs to be appreciated. Right now I have him at #2 behind MJ and ahead of Kareem.

That's exactly what I said.

And that's not something I said, that's what delaurentis said after quoting me.

I'm not downplaying his feats, but you have to contextualize them.

He's a stats whore who plays in an era of inflated numbers and he's always 'sucking' numbers from the rest of his team is followed by false narratives such as "makes players around him better" or is a "winner".

GSW fucked up when they left Ja Morant alone too many times on a three point line

Jokić vs Lillard is fun to watch, but it would be weird if Nuggets don't win in 6
