Roland17: I think this is partly due to what he has accomplished with the Team. This is a Team without a pedigree before they came into the scene. Boston has a Rich history. It's unlikely you are anything they haven't seen before. Them no go blink before them throwaway you. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Skrrrrrrr: Lmao. LeBron's legacy is safe and secured. Imagine thinking someone in his first year would be a threat to LeBron. Lol. Haven't you learnt? You'd have to be playing all-NBA level basketball in your 20th year for you to even have a chance at usurping LeBron as the king 2 Likes |

Warriors fans, Curry fans, please gather here. Im begging ni o, on behalf of my rockets, pls let us take this play-in and keep the playoffs interesting. So Green can also dedicate fully to his podcast. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Skrrrrrrr: 3:07am On Apr 01 |
steady986: Usurping his longevity stats, probably... Usurping him as a better basketball player, not necessarily. Michael Jordan didn't play for 19 years but the years he played, he was more impactful and dominant than LeBron ever was. Afterall, doesn't LeBron have just 4 titles in those 16 years? Despite recruiting all the best players in the NBA, and skipping 3 teams? 3 Likes 1 Share |

Some of these assists by Jokic are just sic! There is no limit to what he can do with the ball in his hands. |

I have thorough enjoyed watching Z. Eddy again this year. I know today’s NBA isn’t catered to his size and style but I hope a team takes a chance at the kid. 1 Like 1 Share |

birdman: I was just watching his postgame interview. First of all, that man is f*cking old Guy, LeBron na grandpapa. Just look at his face and you can tell he's a longtimer. If he decides to pick up his shoes and leave tomorrow I wouldn't begrudge him one bit. He's paid his dues. And secondly. What a man. He's still trying to improve and adapt his game even in year 21 at age 39. He said he wants to be one of the best 3pt shooters in the league, so people can respect him just the way they respect the best shooters in the league. Guy, LeBron and Steph have identical 3pt percentages this season. That's absurd. 1 Like |

Skrrrrrrr: Lol. You're really funny. Like very funny. There are some things that just can't be broken. At least not by Wemby. If you say Luka I can understand, if he can just play 17 more years at this current level or similar to that. The scary part is LeBron is still playing, so it's not like the records are standing still We still have all-NBA team to collect this season. Hopefully a championship and FMVP too. Plus a few hundred points to add to that 40k |
Re: The NBA Begins by Skrrrrrrr: 9:42am On Apr 01 |
steady986: Oga, the point I am trying to make is.... You don't need to play as long as LeBron James or garner the same career points, assists etc as LeBron, to become a greater player. Those are longevity stats. It is about doing the best you have with what time you have. LeBron has a lower PPG in the playoffs than a lot of guys. Not even mentioning Jordan. He also has less MVPs, FMVPs, championships etc than Jordan despite playing for longer. A couple of guys in the NBA have legitimate chances of being better than LeBron if they win more championships and a couple of MVPS. You don't need to play for 100 years. |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 11:49am On Apr 01 |
Skrrrrrrr: Some championships are worth more than the other. You know the story behind his rings. You know how he strived to get them. Handing championships to 3 different franchises is no joke. What do you think the all-time greats have in common. They have multiple championships, and virtually all of them had those championships on one team. MJ, Duncan, Steph, KD, Kobe, Magic, Bird, Russell. The list goes on. The most would be 2 teams, ala Kareem, Wilt, Shaq and a few. Then there's LeBron. You don't know how significant that is? |
Re: The NBA Begins by Skrrrrrrr: 1:14pm On Apr 01 |
steady986: Lol. Chairman. To be honest, LeBrons has the more worthless championships among all the greats. Because he won all his championships with superior rosters. His first two championships had Wade and Bosh, then he teamed up with Kyrie and love for the second, he then teamed up with Davis for his third. And you know what, he underachieved with all those teams because they had it all. They could have won more. |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 2:00pm On Apr 01 |
Skrrrrrrr: So basically what you're saying is LeBron teamed up with basketballers who are called his teammates. All these guys I listed who have won championships, name one that wasn't on a superteam |
Re: The NBA Begins by Skrrrrrrr: 2:47pm On Apr 01 |
steady986: Sometimes to konk your head dey worry me.. You said he gifted them championships, next you are calling them teammates called Basketballers.. Very nonsense guy.... To argue with you just be like to dey pour water for Basket... Mtschew... |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 9:36pm On Apr 01 |
Skrrrrrrr: Lol. Are you annoyed that you just can't keep up with my factual analysis? Come make I school you |

Make I post this one now make person come tell me say na longevity stat Longevity stat kee you there

Re: The NBA Begins by Skrrrrrrr: 12:06am On Apr 02 |
steady986: Mumu. Na you dey even give people talking points. LeBron has only just surpassed Jordan in scoring 30points a game even though he has played in over 400 more games. No wonder Jordan has the Superior PPG. The only stats LeBron has over Jordan are for longevity. Not for efficency, not for ability, not for execution and not for effectiveness.... Nonsense. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Skrrrrrrr: Do you know how many less games it took for LeBron to pass MJ in assists and rebounds? Or DDs or TDs All MJ was is a shot stuffer and usage merchant that got marched to the line at the slightest provocation.

Shame no even dey catch you to post this. The man has been playing for over 20 years straight. Your only consolation is that, however slow a tortoise is it eventually reaches its destination. But still too slow. steady986: 1 Like 1 Share |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 4:06am On Apr 03 |
Bronsexuality and sense are two parallel lines that can never touch. LeNomad is finally catching on to what Jordan did after playing 6 seasons and 400 games more. Big whoop. If he like make e play 25 years. He will never surpass MJ The advent of the 3 ball alone has altered basketball stats in a way that will never be surpassed. Just off rebounds and assists stats alone we can almost argue we are watching an entirely different sport. Peep this graphic below 4 Likes

birdman:Ohh you mean Jordan right?? February 21, 2003, 20 years ago today: At the age of 40, Michael Jordan becomes the oldest player ever to score 40 points or more in an NBA game, putting up 43 in the Washington Wizards' 89-86 victory over the New Jersey Nets. Ohh and the Nets won the East that year btw. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Or no memories at all. You have to laugh at those who claimed the GOAT wouldn't hang in this era when he was cooking fools literally at 40 in 2003. Which is the year the great imposter was drafted btw. For those that like to pretend Jordan played in the Jurassic era wey dem take stone dey play basketball 1 Like |

Terry Rozier with 34 points, 8 3-points made. Miami Heat just dey look Celtics with bombastic side eyes. They don know. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Skrrrrrrr: 6:02am On Apr 04 |
I gotta tell you, the Title is between Denver and the Celtics (if the heat do not pull another one on them). All the Thunder, Sacramento, Dallas, bucks, Suns are just pretenders. Minnnesota may give them a good fight though. That defence is Legit... |
