Fight of the Year already. And we're only in April.

Izzy should win this 3-2 unless them wan do ojoro. Though them kpokpo him face small sha

Gastellum dropped again. This fight is mental

Gastellum has stones though. Didn't think this would get to 5

Izzy for the WIN!! Spinning elbow aye!

This man is Jon Bones in Middleweight I swear. Easy money

Lmaooooo KD and Patrick Beverley ejected

ReysonDrabek:
Oh so now you were being sarcastic

You wouldn't know cos you don't pay attention

ReysonDrabek:
Quit it man, you tried to push a narrative and i decimated it. This whole ruse wont help you save face. You meant it when you said it. Just admit it was a dumb thing to say.

You don't learn you just like to think you're teaching. Look at the image posted below. That was the reason for the narrative I brought on here.

ReysonDrabek:
LMAO The same players who voted iverson in the top 5, same players who voted kevin durant in the top five, same players who voted kobe more than kareem. Yeah they seem like real geniuses.

I don't have time to nitpick irrelevant aspects of the list. The message is clear for anyone who cares to listen. I would take the opinions of the players who have probably faced both players over yours and other unrepentant Bronsexuals like Nick Wright

ReysonDrabek:
Of course of the players in the league today grew up watching MJ, ask the players in the next ten years. I think this rookie class was asked the same question. Go check the result.

The average age in the league is probably 25 if not less. There is a higher likelihood anyone drafted after 2006 has seen more LeNomad than MJ

Sorry I'm more interested in an expansive survey like this one. The gulf screams loudly.

ReysonDrabek:
Which other young player has he played with that you can base your argument on? There are two instances you can point to with lebron and young talents. BTW, ingrams scoring numbers have also gone up from last year so he IS progressing in his own way. Miss me with that dumb narrative.

If you can't bring out any young player doesn't this buttress my point?

This was my point ab initio so shut up

ReysonDrabek:
His job was under threat long before lebron signed.

And LeNomad's arrival was the coup de grace

ReysonDrabek:
LMAO Youre changing the goal post again. From it killed them to it didnt help.

What's the difference? Did it help? Did the team not implode?

ReysonDrabek:
Yeah like i said, real geniuses

Yes. They actually play the sport so their opinion is credible unlike most talking heads that cannot dribble their way out of a paper bag or identify a pick and roll set

ReysonDrabek:
LOL! Yeah phil actually won the Nba championship in his first FULL season in charge.

Pat didnt just win in his first season he made the showtime lakers who they were.

So coaching lebron plus kyrie and k love is starting from the bottom?

"Showed more competence" ty lue won in his first season after going 3-1 down and would have won more if it wasnt for that skinny prick what the hell are you even talking about man?

89/90 was his first full season. FFS what are you smoking nigga?? You initially claimed Phil Jackson led the Bulls last the first round, I've shown that as false yet you're typing more fallacies

Yes. But he had zero head coaching accolades before he took over. He was not a made man either and owes his success to the talents he had at his disposal as well

No one said Blatt started from the bottom but the fact is injuries to Kyrie and Love mean we would never really know what happens if they were healthy. In their second season he had won 30 games at the midway point of the season. He was sacked with a .73 record FFS

Who cares if Ty Lue went 3-0 down? Last I checked the series started 0-0.

ReysonDrabek:
You prove yourself first by showing you have potential. This bampot really expected david blatt or mike brown to turn into pantheon great coaches. News flash nyarf, these guys just dont have it. [b]Phil carried the bulls out of the first round in his first season, a feat they couldnt achieve consecutive years prior, [/b]pat won a title in his first season. This dolt thinks david blatt who has still not coached an nba team since and mike brown were going to become great coaches. daftness at its peak

I thought you were being deliberately obtuse but it's apparent to me now that you're actually obtuse obtuse

The Bulls had gotten to the Eastern Conference Finals before Phil Jackson was head coach you lying crazeman. Pat Riley took over a team that had won the title in 1980.

Don't come here and spin lies like these coaches came and started from the bottom.

I never claimed Blatt would be great or not but he showed more competence than his replacement considering the circumstances. Some people never get more than one chance. That's just how life works

ReysonDrabek:
Dude, this dimwit claimed larry hughes played 36 games and hes the one that got the cavs into the playoffs and im the clown!

Helped the Cavs get into the playoffs. Helped. I'm applying the same logic Bronsexuals use when they claim Scottie Pippen helped the GOAT get past the first round

ReysonDrabek:
Let me do the math for you since you are too stupid to see the gaffe you just committed. It means the cavs were 27 19 without him and still on pace for the playoffs without him. Legendary levels of foolishness here, you cant make this shit

because larry hughes 36 games got the cavs into the playoffs LMAO! I dont know what you do now but you will make a spectacular jester.

This does nothing to refute the point that based on Bronsexual logic Larry Hughes got the Cavs in the playoffs. I don't have time for the rest of your 'On pace' megedefegede. It does not disprove the point

If Pippen and his 10ppg on 40% shooting got the GOAT past the first round, then Larry Hughes most certainly got LeNomad into the playoffs.

ReysonDrabek:
Again when did i ever claim pippen is why phil jackson made the playoffs? Stop applying your foolishness to me.

Lol this clown is being deliberately obtuse. What does Phil Jackson have to do with the argument? The Bulls had crossed the first round before he became coach.

You're in denial. 73% of players in the league think MJ is the GOAT. But skinny jeans wearing hermit LeNomad fanboys are frothing in the mouth all over cyberspace like a camel in heat

ReysonDrabek:
LOL! Now its trajectory, but didnt you say lebron stunts young players growth? So ingram and co dont have a trajectory? the man is turning into a statistician to defend his foolishness

Are you not ashamed that in how many seasons you can only point to one player who was already a surefire star (2 All-star appearances and an All star MVP) that was already doing 21-5 as proof that LeNomad grows players. Lmaooo smh at this desperate crazeman

ReysonDrabek:
But you said lebron is why he got fired, come and explain.

But you also claimed lukes firing was lebrons fault

Stop chatting like a simp! Whose arrival put Luke Walton's job under threat?

ReysonDrabek:
There a difference between winning in the regular season and winning a ring. Go ask D'antoni.

What does this have to do with Blatt? Would Lue have won without Love and Kyrie?

ReysonDrabek:
What kind of dumb logic is this? appreciate it or not its part of the game and you need to learn to live with it. Stop trying to claim its the reason the lakers were losing!

It's common sense. We've seen numerous athletes sign deals with no trade clauses. Just the other day we saw Harrison Barnes and Derrick Rose and their reactions to getting traded. It's a far from ideal scenario and can hurt a player's performance

No one said it's the reason why they were losing. But it surely didn't help their cause. Jeeeeez why are your comprehension skills so poor?

ReysonDrabek:
Thank God Phil was in fact the GOAT, plus he had jordan. So what are you talking about? its not all about pippen.

You're desperately confused

ReysonDrabek:
Yeah thats awful but punching your team mate is great leadership. I had a mediocre day but you're cheering me up, clown!

Boohoo. Players fight in practice all the time. Beats your teammate questioning your commitment to basketball in public.

The players know who the GOAT is

donlittle25:
person wey just hear about NBA phew

Ignore the clown. What were Phil Jackson, Greg Pop and Pat Riley's head coaching achievements before coaching these greats? Talking as if they were proven commodities

Kyle Lowry. 0-7. Smh! DeRozan's playoff choking partner

ReysonDrabek:
Have you stopped to think that all these all time greats had all time great coaches?

Magic got Pat Riley, MJ had Phil and so did kobe and shaq, timmy had pop. who did lebron get?


That last part is how i confirm you're a pathological liar. Most people blamed lebron calling him a choker and rightfully so. If anyone was blaming spoelstra hed be gone! Stop spinning narratives to suit this dumb agenda. You have the chance to get pat riley to coach you and he shouldnt jump at it? LMAO! Clown!

I know this is an oxymoron since you don't think but have you stopped to think that most of these all-time great coaches had zero pedigree and titles but allowed themselves to be coached by these would be all-time great coaches?

Greg Pop, Phil Jackson, Pat Riley all had zero championships and in some cases zero head coaching experience. Maybe if they had to coach in today's generation with a coach Killer like LeNomad who knows how their careers would have ended?

If David Blatt and Spoelstra had their asses on fire and Blatt got the axe even with a 30-11 record the year after the Cavs lost the finals in unfortunate circumstances. Who says those greats would have gotten a chance to shine?

You're a Muppet else you would always apply context when dropping analogies

Coach Spoelstra was under some heat as well not just LeNomad. Don't come here and try to revise history. The Heat were under intense scrutiny all season long because of their average start which led to them finishing second in the East behind the Bulls.

These lower seed teams are not here for games

ReysonDrabek:
welp, the lakers have nothing to do with this wager. its about how the kings perform. we'll see.

They have everything to do with it. Some tools will at least get to see that in a less chaotic setting perhaps Luke wasn't the problem

ReysonDrabek:
Because non of these star players are called Lecoach killer or LeGm etc. None of the stars are treated like theyre responsible for all the bad decisions their front office makes. Lebron is.

Lebron obviously didnt want spoelstra, he wanted Pat and rightfully so.

LeNomad is not the first superstar to have that Coach Killer tag on him. Magic was kind of a coach Killer too.

The point with LeNomad is with all his stops he is the only player that has had this drama across 3 different franchises. Different people, different tradition from a history standpoint. Only one constant. LeNomad

That's the problem. Even in the first season that LeNomad shat the bed against Dallas it was still Spoelstra feeling the heat. Why would Pat want to come back and coach? He had been doing so for over two decades!! His unwillingness to give Spo a fair audience says it all really

ReysonDrabek:
LMAO! Marc Gasol was also dpoy at some point, doesnt mean hes the mark gasol you get today. The larry hughes the cavs got was half the player dion waiters was. And BTW, Larry Hughes played 36 games for the cavs that season. GTFOH with that dumb narrative.

Lmaooo what a clown!! Are you comparing Marc Gasol's example to a guy that went into the Cavs team as an all-defense first teamer?

We have already established you know zilch about hoops when you compare a certified brick mason like Dion Waiters to Larry Hughes who scored and defended better and actually helped teams make the playoffs.

Yes and in those 36 games the Cavs were 23-13. Olodo

ReysonDrabek:
No one credits the pippen alone with the GOATs success, the triangle offense plus MJ played a role too.

This is a well parroted narrative. Don't feign ignorance

Bronsexuals think Pippen's 10ppg got the GOAT past the first round. So we can apply the same rule to Larry Hughes

ReysonDrabek:
LMAO Stop dancing around the bush, polished or not you claimed young players dont improve with lebron. Heres proof that its another stupid narrative because kyrie improved even with lebron. Im not necessarily saying its because of him, but you saying that is just stupid.

Kyrie's trajectory was set without LeNomad. In fact if you look closely his numbers were more or less the same as he was averaging before barring the Warriors series where he exploded. Kyrie was a bonafide star before he came to Cleveland so that example is fa fa fa foul!!

ReysonDrabek:
Im sorry didnt this guy just claim its lebrons fault magic is gone? so its because of lebron magic is incompetent

You're still not paying attention. Nobody ever said Magic didn't display incompetence at different stretches

ReysonDrabek:
LOL but if he had been fired then knowing what you know now about magic wanting to fire him long ago, how is that lebrons fault? and griffin admitted blatt was a tank coach becayse they didnt know lebron was coming otherwise they wouldnt have hired him. How is blatts firing lebrons fault?

Nobody talked about Luke getting fired till this season started going awry. Firing Luke was a cop out and Magic's mea culpa for his own gaffes. I think I said it here.

Lmaooo. You're telling me a coach that was fired despite a 30-11 record off a season he got to the NBA Finals was just about correcting some hiring mistake?

ReysonDrabek:
So all the NBA players that deal with trade talks and hostile crowds and still perform arent human beings? LOL! Funny thing is ingram and kuzma noticeably took their game up a notch during this period but with lebron and others injured there was only so much they could do. Some were saying they were playing well cause they didnt want to be traded.

Exactly. The players performing despite trade talks is the exception and not the norm and speaks to their talent. No professional athlete appreciates being traded without their consent. It's absurd to expect that young players in their second year won't have their feelings hurt in some way. It's not an excuse but it's a pretty plausible explanation if they struggle

ReysonDrabek:
There was only so much phil could do, pippen was destined for greatness. Lebron tried his best and all his teammates have attested to that. In the end so many things happened outside his control from injuries to suspensions. It is what it is. All they can do is move on, get a FA and possibly trade for another star. They werent going to win the chip anyway.

Lmaooo did you see Pippen's early numbers? He was very far from a sure thing

What a leader wouldn't do is publicly question their commitment to basketball like LeNomad did. With his body language, with his words this was one of the worst displays of leadership I've ever seen from a vet

ReysonDrabek:
Your comment has been archived.

I daresay if both teams stand pat Luke Walton finishes with a better record than the Lakers

Khanben:
His poor scouting culture wasted a 2nd pick on lonzo when better players were still available in the 2017 draft. Tatum, d Mitch, and even fox who dropped 30 something on Lonzo.
The funniest thing about the blame Lebron camp is that you guys have made him into a god who controls all that there is around him. So Magic was not interested in accelerating the Lakers timeline when he called a 15 year veteran's agent during free agency.
Stop with these nonsense and let's talk basketball if not objectively but at least like someone who has followed the league long enough.
So what you want people to somehow believe is that lebron comes from Cleveland, and starts calling the shots with Jeannie and co watching in awe at his intellect. Please bring up plausible arguments and I might drink whatever coolaid you are trying to sell

You don't get it. No one has said Magic is not to blame. Everybody here has been flogging Magic on this thread since last year

But if you think a player that calls himself King doesn't want to have hands on control wherever he finds himself then you're not paying attention. Whether he gets it is another thing. But don't tell me he's never played a part in any coach losing their jobs or trying to get them to lose their jobs. He wouldn't be the first star to pull that stunt so I don't know why people are so defensive

There is a difference between having the final say and suggesting he has no say, which is what you're trying to say. Mike Spoelstra so far is the only guy who LeNomad didn't want that somehow managed to keep his job because Pat Riley stood his ground. Being on the wrong side of LeNomad will cost you your job. It's happened not once, not twice

SmooshCHN:
Lue was frustrated and that's the frustration talking. I'm just surprised if the Lakers are just stupid at this point. Lue was a foot mat on the Cavs. Cavs fans and the LeStans in the media used him as an excuse when the Cavs failed. We heard about how he didn't know how to draw plays or make use of the rotations (same thing with Luke Walton) but he's now the front runner for the Lakers job. This either means he's a genius all of a sudden or he's coming because he's LeBron's guy. Same way he took over from David Blatt. A40 point makes sense now. I'm not saying Bron got Luke fired. I'm just saying his presence definitely is so strong not to make a connection to what is going on right now. You'd have to be a LeStans to not think his presence, actions or body language is not a big factor here. Cos I don't see any reason Ty Lue should be the front runner for the job if it had nothing to do with Bron. Maybe both of them are padi but Lue would be foolish to want to experience what he experienced on the Cavs.

Death, Taxes and being the scapegoat should everything go wrong when working with LeBron are constant in life. Might not be his fault but history has shown that you'd definitely be the scapegoat thanks to LeStans.

If not to make LeNomad happy why would Lue be in the running for Lakers coach. Lol

etidy:
Walton joining the kings, good for him

Just the team he needed. Watch him work Magic with these bunch (pun intended)

ReysonDrabek:
Larry Hughes. LOOOOOOOOOL! The dion waiters you are making fun off is better than larry hughes. Dont compare lebrons ascendance with kyries, its not fair. Theyre not in the same league. Lebron averaged 27 7 7 in his second year then went on to average 30+ his 3rd year when they made the playoffs. Kyrie won like 30 games in his third year.

Larry hughes

Dion Waiters better than Larry Hughes? You must be smoking something dangerous

Larry Hughes was first team all defense and led the league in steals the season before he came to help LeNomad. That's who you're comparing to Dion Waiters. #facepalm

You don't want to give Larry Hughes credit yet you Bronsexuals are quick to credit Scottie Pippen and his 7.9 points per game for the GOAT getting past the First round

ReysonDrabek:
But didnt you just literally say that young players cant grow with lebron why did kyrie grow? ooh theyre going to grow, just not now and its not lebrons fault again? stop contradicting yourself.

Kyrie was a more polished product. It's irresponsible of you to attribute credit to LeNomad for a player already in his 4th season and was averaging 20ppg before he came

ReysonDrabek:
So why is it lebrons fault he got resigned not his incompetence?

Where did anyone say Magic's incompetence didn't play a role in his firing?

ReysonDrabek:
So lukes exit is not lebrons fault like you said again? Again, stop contradicting yourself.

What is this one saying? If not for Jeanie Luke would have been gone by the all-star break. You would have kuku told us LeNomad didn't have a hand in David Blatt and Paul Silas's firing as well

ReysonDrabek:
The story was already out there. Pretending you didnt want AD would just be stupid.

Why couldn't they pretend? You mean LeNomad was forced to talk? He couldn't politely decline?

ReysonDrabek:
Magic said, these are grown men. If they cant handle trade talks, they shouldnt be in the NBA.

They are also human beings. Not pawns in LeNomad's Game of thrones. You're likelier to give better when you're in a stable situation

ReysonDrabek:
"bust their balls for him" LOL I forgot they were playing the NBA for lebron. How about they play and win for themselves, if you play and win because of someone else you are just a soft loser!

They needed a leader. The GOAT put his arm around Scottie and mentored him to greatness. You're the OG Vet who supposedly makes everyone better. Yet he failed to do the same

ReysonDrabek:
He was a star who couldnt get into the playoffs before lebron came.

Hahahaha you're a funny guy. Could LeNomad get into the playoffs his first two years in the league? Didn't it take the addition of Larry Hughes to help him get there?

ReysonDrabek:
LOL And what did they do when lebron was absent, kuzma was bricking shots and the lakers fa.g base were asking for ingram to get traded. Somehow even without lebron playing thats lebrons fault too yes? if his arrival disrupts growth, why didnt it disrupt kyrie since he was averaging similar numbers as ingram? why did kyrie continue to grow with lebron? maybe the young guys arent as good as they thought, maybe the lakers just cant improve them. Just imagine trading D-lo, not giving randle peanut change and taking lonzo over tatum. SMH!

Laughable that a young team is not expected to go through growing pains. Even the Heatles with seasoned vets didn't get it right at first try, including your LeNomad but somehow you are expecting second year pros to do so. Smh

Because Kyrie was in his 4th and 5th season. Duhhh

ReysonDrabek:
LOL so woj, one of lebrons most blatant haters because he cant get zilch on him is now a lebron fanboy because he was told magic was incompetent. Talk about moving the goal post.

You're preaching to the choir. I have talked about Magic's incompetence long before it became cool to do so.

ReysonDrabek:
Its not that simple. Its not all about free agents but role players as well. At the end of the day, magic still had at least another year, he didnt have to go, no one blamed him, at least not from the other side of the fence. Something happened with him jeanie and rob that he isnt saying and this is obvious. I still dont know how it is lebrons fault that he resigned.

But even the role players were supposed to be to LeNomad's tastes, the complaint from LeNomad was that rather than the shooters he had at Cleveland he wanted more playmakers. It's why they got Rondo, it's why they got Stevenson.

What does it matter? If Magic didn't go Luke would have gone. Somehow someway people were going to lose their jobs. Luke was more or less doomed and setup to fail. As some NBA executives said

ReysonDrabek:
Lebron only spoke about AD when it was already public knowledge. AD wanted to leave and Rich did what every agent would do. I'm sorry, does it have to be at lebrons bidding for magic to go after a top 5 player in the league? its friggin AD not some other journey man of course Magic would go after him. He was trying to do what he felt was best for the roster. Granted It blew up in his face but stop blaming lebron for it. And how do you explain the trades he did after that giving away svi and zubac? The other teams were literally laughing at him. I guess that was also at lebrons behest right?

That speaks to his awful leadership skills. Speaking on another player that his agency represents that's still under contract on another team. From his yes man to Magic to LeNomad it was one gaffe after the other which ended up sabotaging another team's postseason chances and invariably his own.

Because you don't spend weeks berating your own teammates and wooing other players and be surprised your teammates are not busting their balls for you

SmooshCHN:
All I know is, LeGM didn't force Magic Johnson to resign. He also didn't make Luke Walton quit. It's just the normal pressure LeBron brings. Those guys including Rob Pelinka owe it to themselves for not doing anything. Anyways, Bron and the players as well have their faults but the front office was a mess to begin with. Magic's job ended when LeBron signed with the Lakers.

That's the point. The same guy that knighted him goodnighted him. Advertently or inadvertently

ReysonDrabek:
Kyrie went from all star to elite guard with lebron because kyrie is the truth. Not everyone is kyrie. But heres a better thought, name one young player that improved playing for the lakers? russell left and is balling, so is randle. The lakers at heart cant seem to develop young players.

Not solely on magic because pressure? excuse me isnt the job of a GM to build a team around their best player? if thats too much pressure, building a team that can win with the best player in the world then you have no business being a GM. That goes for pelinka as well, i hope they trade lebron or he gets sacked. Imagine thinking lebron can chase magic out of the lakers?

Who instigated it? LOL! are you kidding me? its not magic, pelinka or any of the front office, of course its lebron who instigated it because hes the GM like you ingenuous dweebs like to believe.

You goofballs like to say lebron never takes the blame when he loses, but somehow even when grown men do dumbshit and pay for it, when grown men make decisions. Its always lebrons fault.

Kyrie? Lmaooo. He was a star even while having to deal with Dion Waiters being his second best player. That's how good everyone knew Kyrie was so he doesn't count

Kuzma, Randle, Ingram were doing pretty ok. All they needed was time which the Lakers understandably did not have but LeNomad's arrival disrupts all probability of these players having a fair chance to develop. How can they improve? When they are not sure they won't be traded. Denying that LeNomad's arrival throws all development out the window is just being intellectually dishonest.

So when someone is talking about Magic not being at some obscure gym in Eastern Europe I'm wondering how many Eastern Europeans were in any of LeNomad's roster that wasn't already in the league. Cut the crap! He tried moving two lottery picks and a second year product (all with less than 3 years experience) to get an All-star and you fanboys are talking about he doesn't travel, he doesn't scout. As if these Lakers actually have the mandate to do any type of player development

Of course. The job to build around their best player is any GM's mandate. And in this instance the plan was to go via the Free agent route!

Anthony Davis joined LeNomad's proxy, LeNomad openly courted AD and LeNomad's proxy naively tried to strong arm his client's team to a trade. Of course Magic wanted to do a trade. But at whose bidding? You think Magic would try to trade half the roster including the guy he drafted and swore would have his number in the rafters if he wasn't trying to make LeNomad happy?

Lol you're a joker

hoopLA:
Ogbeni keep kwayet.


When Kyrie won All Star MVP, he wasnt elite? Or when he was Rookie of the Year? Or when he was FIBA MVP in 2014? All before LeBron returned with his drama.

All this megedefegede like eedris abdulkarim doesnt make you know jack§hit.

Omo get your tongue out of LeBum's arse. I know its so far up in there, you can taste what he had for breakfast. Kyrie was already the truth before LeBitch came back with his drama.

Lmaooooooooo. I just tire bro

I hope this narrative that Ferrari has the faster car can finally die a natural death

Khanben:
With due respect to Magic. He is not equipped to run basketball operations in a NBA team. He is more like an owner type of person. A president of a NBA team has to be more hands on than he ever was. Travel to watch player in dingy gyms (at college or in Europe), watch films, read scouting reports, improve player development staff etc. All of these Magic failed to do.
how it became Lebron's fault I don't understand.

Player development? Name one player that was developed while playing in a team assembled for LeNomad. That one is mission impossible. Everything is geared towards getting stars to play with him right now so this whole idea of scouting, development flew out the window the minute LeNomad was coming

This is not solely about Magic. There is more than enough blame to go around. Though I agree he made numerous unpardonable gaffes evaluating personnel but some of these gaffes were based on pressure and the need to get instant impact players or players that fit with LeNomad

It's about the fact that half the team was going to be traded at Midway point. Who instigated that? The uncertainty in the franchise with the coaching and the younger players from the all Star break to the trade deadline. Whose advisor set those wheels in motion? There is no way you can tell me LeBron played no role in this mess. Not hearing that. Sorry

ReysonDrabek:
David Blatt
And when he was asked about the perception that he had a bad relationship with the “King”, Blatt implies that things are not always what they seem to be: “I just don’t think that’s true. I don’t think we had a bad relationship. In today’s world and in today’s media there’s nothing more important than a narrative. But as you all can understand the narrative is not always correct. And we can move on from that…”

Ty Lue
"If he has a problem or disagrees with you, he's going to talk to you. He's not going to make a big scene or blow up. Occasionally you see him [upset] on the bench, but ... people blow it out of proportion, like it's something crazy. ... It's just the surrounding s--t that they try to make it hard." Lue continued: "If he happens to wear a different shoestring, it's, 'What's wrong with Bron?' If he happens to wear a different wristband, 'What's wrong with Bron?' It's always a story." He said: "I mean, [he] never cussed a coach out. Never. Sometimes there will be disagreements—that's just part of the game—but he's respectful, does things the right way."

Mike Brown
“He knows the game inside and out on both ends of the floor. Luke should feel extremely lucky, blessed and fortunate, like anybody who has had a chance to coach LeBron and be able to work with him. There’s no magic in it. He’s a great guy and you coach him as you see fit. He’ll buy into anything you say. Best of luck to them both, except when they play us.”


You know what A40, you're the person i've been trying to figure out on this thread. With most of the other guys on this thread its easy, they're simpletons, i mean pure stupidity oozes out of most of the things they type and for a while i pegged you as such. I've realized now that you're not stupid at all, far from it and yet even worse. Your're a gullible Joe Bloggs. You're like most of the people that fill this paltry ball of dirt, bland, vapid, credulous, ordinary, sad. People like you are media narratives sell. What a terrible existence.


BTW, I have a bridge to sell you.

Stop being so emotional. Lmaooo.

What am I supposed to do with this trailer load of PC garbage you posted here? You expected them to curse him and go on some tirade? You think everyone is like Antonio Brown. Save it!! And accept that everywhere LeNomad goes there is always upheaval and anarchy in his wake.

A GM, A coach and 1 President of Basketball Ops lost their job in an absolute shitstorm of a season where a beloved Laker legend was reduced to tears and you're telling stories

SmooshCHN:
Magic Johnson is gone.
Luke Walton is gone.

Guys!!! LeGM has been activated by force.

Lmaooo LeCoach Killer strikes again. Luke must be cursing the day LeNomad joined the Lakers

Time to drop my picks without further Adu like Freddy

East

Bucks vs Pistons: Bucks in 5.

Raptors vs Magic: Raptors in 5.

Sixers vs Nets: Depending on Embiid's health this series might get very complicated. Nets matchup well with Sixers. I'd still say Sixers in 6

Celtics vs Pacers: Celtics in 6. Or 5! Pacers don't match up well with Boston at all

West
Warriors vs Clippers: Warriors sweep

Nuggets vs Spurs: Contrary to popular opinion and the mere fact that the Spurs best perimeter player is desperately allergic to 3's I like the Nuggets for this series. Nuggets in 6.

Blazers vs OKC. OKC in 7. Provided Westbrook doesn't go Bricko mode

Rockets vs Jazz: Rockets in 5

Paul Pierce get him own but for how much longer is the World going to deal with Uncle Toms like Jason Whitlock.

Do you need to be a coon to work for Fox? I know they are largely a right learning network but this nigga is like the Uncle Tom MVP. Uncle Ruckus

tobianthony:
UFC 239 ?

Jeez this would be the dopest card I've seen in recent memory

Bones vs Thiago Santos

Ngannou vs Cigano!!!! FFS
