Wetin dey always worry this simple minded Bronsexual

Love averaged 18-12, 19-13 and 15-8 in the first 3 series. That's not all-star production? Or who would argue circa 14/16 Kevin Love and Kyrie were not all star caliber
undecided

birdman:
K Love and Bosh are easy to explain and have little to do with with Lebron per se. If you go from being #1 option on a bad team to #3 option on a good team, your stats will drop. But they both got really good contracts out of it, no? And championship pedigree. Except both just decided to retire after rather than test the market. Yeah Love hasnt retired, but d guy wan peme for cleveland. Bosh also had health issues
You people have started with the excuses. I thought LeNomad made everyone better. It's not about stats it's about play and influence. KD's and Klay's stats went down when KD joined Golden State but their impact was felt in other ways. Can you honestly say Kevin Love and Chris Bosh's stock went up playing with LeNomad?

Their teams were too loaded not to win championships anyway, both Cleveland and especially Miami

birdman:
George Hill was a great system guy with the spurs. But he is not a scorer so there isnt much Lebron can do for that type of guy. But its not Lebron's fault. Look at how Caruso and Rondo capitalized on all those open looks, Rondo was looking like a slasher. Hill had those same looks, and couldnt make them. Not Lebrons fault.
More excuses. He is exactly the kind of player whose numbers should go up playing with LeNomad, guys like him, Rodney Hood, Jordan Clarkson. Midlevel talent that should look better playing with LeNomad. If you won't blame LeNomad for their poor play then I believe it is especially dubious of you to praise LeNomad for the play of Caruso and a guy like Rondo who has been an all-star and led the league in assists. You can't have it both ways hombre

birdman:
Lebron is not turning everybody into stars, but I dont see anybody in the league upgrading as many fellow players. An example to watch will be Harrell. If he changes his game a bit, his stats will go up playing with Lebron.
LeNomad does not upgrade anybody. Y'all need to stop this myth. If he upgrades then you have to also accept that he downgraded the others whose numbers didn't improve playing with him. If he upgrades players then aren't they supposed to remain better when he leaves??

Harrell averaged 18pts last season if he scores fewer points this season will you agree LeNomad downgraded him or will you solely blame Harrell again?

birdman:
For real, Im all ears. Name 2 or 3 players that worsened under Lebron
George Hill, Kevin Love, Hell Chris Bosh became a spot up shooter playing with LeNomad

Of course the latter two won titles but did they improve?

All I'm saying is you guys should not shoot yourselves in the foot with this narrative because for every Kyrie you attribute their excellence to LeNomad I will raise you two players who didn't improve playing with him

birdman:
grin before last season some people would have given draymond max contract. people were touting hes a positionless player, etc
Lmaoooo anyone giving Draymond max contract will not last long as a GM

You can't contend for anything with Draymond as anything other than your 3rd best player

birdman:
No doubt, he deserves props for that series. And no doubt without him they likely dont make those clutch jumpers to seal the win. But you can see why people are bagging on him. I dont know what is going on on his head, of all the people you could attack, you take down your teamate from a championship run, same thing talk down your team mates in boston. I hope he knows Durant can be even more vengeful should he try this on the Nets
I understand why people are bagging on him. They are not wrong to but what's unfair is giving another man credit for what he actually did in that post season

birdman:
Haba, obviously, Kyrie is not Caruso. What I meant was Lebron is an excellent facilitator and will distort defenses. Which makes other players look really good. Its like Draymond eating off of the splash brothers. Draymond is good no doubt, but he got exposed last season.
You people won't stop this fallacy. When we bring up the many players that worsened under LeNomad you will blame them and not him for their failures. I beg make all analysis dey balanced. If you will distant LeNomad from the failure of his teammates then I don't see why you give him credit when they ball.

I don't see why you would be comparing Kyrie to friggin Draymond Green

birdman:
Same way Kyrie is good no doubt, but not as good as his mouth. See how he bombed on the Celtics, then tried to blame it on the youngns.
Add to all this, he used to be explosive off the dribble, but once you dont bite, he had to shoot those crazy jump shots. And his jump shots are nowhere near as reliable as Lillard. Plus he is now older, less explosive, and his shooting ability will likely never get better. Imo he is going to be a paul george level of dissapointment - Durant will have to ball to make Kyrie look decent.
Kyrie didn't play his best and I doubt any knowledgeable basketball analyst would tell you you can win a title with Kyrie as your #1

All I'm saying is whatever happens in Brooklyn, Kyrie should get his deserved credit for pulling off the greatest Robin performance perhaps in Finals history and the entire 2016 postseason. Even Paul George never pulled that off

I no know why my posts dey always give this Bronsexual priapism

Kyrie averaged 27.1, Steph averaged 22.6 so if I say 5 points why not unlook instead of displaying nonsense pedantry

Kevin Love? Lmaoooo same Kevin Love that averaged 8.5 ppg in 2016 Finals?

Lol. Kyrie is a #3 on a championship team. His jump shot is streaky, and no one is biting on those dribbles anymore. Lebron made it work in Cleveland, like he does everywhere else. Even Caruso is feeling like a don in lakerland these days.

Kyrie as #1 option has never worked. We are about to find out why Kyrie as #2 will not work either on the Nets. Unless of course they get Harden and bounce his insecure @ss in which case he can continue whining about Lebron like he owe him money. Nevermind, he gon keep whining about Lebron for the next 10 years regardless where he at.

I wish there was some sort of radar you could buy to identify shady brothers like this - you think they got your back until they dont.
Una don come again. Which one is LeBron made it work? Why una no dey like give players individually their credit? You're comparing Kyrie to Caruso. When Kyrie got hurt did LeBron win? Didn't they lose the series?

Kyrie that averaged 5 more pts than the unanimous MVP in that series, he's a player we know is well capable of making unassisted buckets. So what's this LeBron business

We all know Kyrie can be a bit of a bellend but give the man credit where it's due. He balled in that entire postseason and whatever happened in Boston Kyrie has never had an MVP caliber outside LeBron so this judgement is a bit unfair

If KD stays healthy they have LeVert and enough complementary pieces around KD to compete for the title

I knew this day was coming...I am happy I am alive to see it ..I am glad you are finally seeing C. Wentz to be the scam I have been trying to show you for over a year now.

That being said, you of all people should know that you beat what is in front of you and it is the NFL!!!
I don't really care for Carson Wentz. He had a good season in 2017 but he's been mostly mediocre since. The Eagles deserve a Wentz especially when you remember how their fans used to boo McNabb. Now they are stuck with him for another 3 seasons.

Seriously you can't be bragging about beating a QB everyone else has outplayed
