Even if they are not chokers people act like they were not leading 17pts and 15pts in the back to back losses of game 6 and 7 (without CP3) whereas they were losing by 12 and 5 or so with him in games 4 and 5 that they ended up winning.

People forget that the games 4&5 were won by a total of 5pts and we had the possessions to actually win. And that was prime Rockets. Their best ever.

Exactly, and we are forgetting that the Rockets barely made it thro the WC Finals. What's the guarantee that they will get to the finals this year. Make we dey watch..

Lmaooo I told overconfident LeNomad fans that the Western Conference is a different animal. Even hopeless teams like the Grizzlies and Pelicans without Anthony Davis would go out of their way to make sure the Lakers don't make the playoffs

The Finals record stans and fanboys like Nick Wright would finally be able to shut up about Kobe missing the playoffs even though he had a much weaker roster.

I also don't want to even hear anything about LeBron's injury either. They are 4-7 since he returned. Losing to the Pacers sans Oladipo, Grizzlies sans Gasol, Jackson Jr, Pelicans sans Anthony Davis. So in total the Lakers are 23-20 with him which is hardly exceptional

Where is BarthramLeStat? He must have seen the future.

I don't think any self respecting Basketballer who doesn't want to be or isn't a lackey would want to play with LeBron. When KD said it it sounded like he was hating whereas he was just spitting facts.

He's all about his stats and individual accolades at this point. If your team wins he would get all the glory, if they lose you would get all the blame. There is zero incentive to playing with LeNomad

This explains your silence about the recent recognition he has been getting. I been was ask why you neva say anything about Baba Dirk since this thing start.

Anyway, even if he chooses to stay, I believe he deserves the celebration he is getting now. LeBum should wax a special tribute to Dirk for slaying him and his assembly while battling a flu.

Honestly. He never actually come out talk anything, no hashtag nothing. I guess that's just Dirk being Dirk

2011 will always be memorable. When 33 year old Dirk, 38 year old Kidd and 34 year old Jason Terry beat LeNomad and the Heatles in their primes

ol boy, this is the main reason why i haven't said anything. My Guy can still play for the next year or two if he wants to.

But then again, he doesn't like attention. If he retires this year, i guess he hasn't said anything because doesn't want the recognition. Greatness will always be recognized even when it's humble. cool

I'd like to see him, Porzingis and Doncic in uniform. Something tells me he would still go another season.

People were saying Durant was going to be the next best player in the league as Lebron starts to age. To me, I feel like that baton is going to Antetokoumpo instead.

Maybe being on a talented warriors is reducing how much Durant has to do, but if I had to choose between these two, it would be the greek freak.

Kevin Durant has been the best player in the NBA since 2017. All the arguments people used to make for Lebron are all flat because KD has consistently outdone him. He has outplayed Lebron in 2 straight finals in both scoring and defending. Because one player looks like he is carrying more does not make him better. To suddenly shift to Antetokoumpo is just pure mischief. He is not even better than Curry, Kawhi, Harden yet in that order.

Come on, how do you outplay a player who has better stats and effect on his team while he is being done teamed throughout a playoff series. While KD never gets double teamed in the Cave series.
One of the most salient reasons why I have MJ above other wings is because he is the only one of them who played his entire career, where no other player in his team was ever double teamed.
KD won two finals MVP without being double teamed for the series, so forgive me if I do not call that person the best player in the world.

I don't know how to make emotional arguments. Legacy wise Lebron is ahead of KD. In the last 2 years? No. When the played head to head in 2012 KD averaged more points in that finals. You people still said Lebron was better even when he had Dwade and Bosh. All the other times, they said Lebron was doing more overall -defensively (since KD always had better offensive output). Today, KD defends better than Lebron and he has proven that in 2 finals. The talk about Lebron being double-team issa fat lie my man. At least not by GSW. Go and rewatch all our playoff games against him. And if being double teamed makes a player great then Curry is better than both of them as he is the one who gets double-teamed.

GSW strategy has always been to leave the ball in Lebron's hands and let him get all the buckets so his teammates will be out of rhythm. You can check this thread on the day he scored those 53pts or so in game 1. I said it here.
