KCP goes from scoring 35 points while playing with LeBron, to scoring 7 without him. What is it they say about this LeBron man?

Ugggggh. Nothing to do with the fact that it's the 2nd night of a back to back in Utah of all places. And you wonder why people troll with glee when LeNomad loses. As if Bron was not there when same team lost to the Knicks and Suns. Smh

Yet during that prime, nobody crowned him top defender cos they knew he's just a carryalong in a once-in-a-generation German and Bayern team. Once that generation declined starting with the exits of Lahm and Schweinsteiger, Boateng showed his true self which led y'all to claim old age has caught up with him at just 28 years old.

I'm sure it's also Lahm and Schweinsteiger that helped Boateng win German footballer of the year
and also helped him into the Euro All star team

Anyway nobody has time for polling booth awards. As even you have finally confessed this season after seeing the light. At the end of the day trophies is what stands you out as an elite defender not polling booth awards.

John Terryble is one of the few overrated defenders who never led his country past the quarterfinals of any major tournament. It was during his regime that a whole England failed to make it to the Euros

LOL So maybe the west isnt as stacked as you claim it is after all. Again, if a team wins against those teams in his conference where you are required to play them in some cases more than twice then loses to the top teams and then clears the eastern teams he should qualify for the playoffs. The funny thing is the lakers have a horrible record against the so called eastern weak conference but you confused lot keep talking about the west just to suit your dumb narrative.

15 teams in a Conference can't possibly be stacked. Get real please!

Your argument still doesn't make any sense. So he beat the weak teams in the West, which his competition likely also did, struggled with the top teams in the West and teams from the East but more importantly didn't make the playoffs. How does LeNomad and the rest of you Apostates come out with anything but egg on your faces?

Did LeNomad come to make the playoffs and win titles or just beat up the dross of the Western Conference to prove a laughable point

YulisCromwell:
LOL! Like i said, you lot are all biased because you hate canelo. Apart from the legends i mentioned many others felt the same way too, just dont remember their names.

Hagler vs SRL, now that was a robbery.

I don't hate Canelo. Had he won fair and square I'd say so. I'm not on GGG's payroll so why should I defend him blindly

Ohhhh so you know Hagler and SRL was a robbery. Maybe there's hope for you after all

YulisCromwell:
As a matter of fact, yes they did.

Where is your proof mate?

YulisCromwell:
Wilder was never going to outbox fur, what are you smoking. Wilder was only supposed to KO him and anything less than that was why everyone was unimpressed by wilder and so impressed by fury especially after getting up. Wilder won 5 rounds including 2 10 8 rounds, fury won 7. 113-113 like the BRITISH judge saw it was a fair result, everything else was hyperbole by the british fans who cant just shut their mouths, the AJ lovers and the wilder haters like you.

Dude I expected Wilder to win going into the fight. However he was completely outboxed. Did you even see the Final round? Fury got up and wiped the floor with Wilder with Wilder having to hang on to him for dear life. Stop it! If the best he could get in his own country was a controversial draw then technically he lost the fight

And had the British judge ruled in favor of Fury it's still guys like you that would claim favoritism and that he was being partial to his compatriot. What pundits are asking is what fight did the Mexican judge watch that made him award a 115-111 score

The Mexican judge had Wilder 4-0 in the first 4 rounds. Lmaooooo! Who would watch that match with functioning eyes and give Wilder all 4 rounds

Last I checked Mayweather, Teddy Atlas and Max Kellerman are all Americans and not AJ lovers, try another excuse

YulisCromwell:
LOL Fury literally admitted he refused to accept the wilder rematch but wilder was down for it. Fury even said wilder is now so pissed at him hes refusing to pick his phone calls. Fury ran and signed a contract with ESPN and now hes fighting some german tomato can, its embarrassing! One judge was american, one canadian another british, if the brit had scored it for fury then fury would have won, stop speaking out of sentiments!

Fury wanted a tune up fight before taking on Wilder. Nothing wrong with that. There is no rule that says Wilder must be his next opponent

It could be argued that the Brit was overcompensating and not trying to look biased it explains why nobody attacked him. The question is how did Alejandro Rochin arrive at that scorecard? This is what everyone in Professional Boxing is asking till today. His reputation is in tatters as we speak

YulisCromwell:
As for wilder refusing the 100m DAZN offer, heres why hes fully justified. Just a few months ago you lot said 15m was more than he ever made and he should accept it to fight AJ but now theyre offering him 40M? Hes the american with punching power, hes the one with star potential, and why was DAZN hiding what AJ was going to make? Like he said, hes with the people that made mayweather who he is so he should stick by them, very soon 100m will seem too little as well.

Story for the gods. If he's serious about unifying the belts then he should take the offer. For now it's pretty clear Wilder is ducking AJ unless he can show us proof that Showtime are offering him a better deal. DAZN are not obliged to show Wilder what AJ is making. What's his business with another man's pockets?

Your windmill merchant has successfully ducked AJ for the second time. #NoSmokeWanted

nah. the league was not that loaded then. If your winning pct was just under .5, you still made the playoffs in the west.

on another note, all the rule changes talent infusion from abroad makes this league s different beast. Talent is no longer enough, like it was when Kobe was the leagues MVP.. Everyone has talent now.

Where did you get this fake news? At no time did you get into the playoffs with under .5, there was even a year a 48 win team failed to get into the playoffs

That's neither here nor there since these present Lakers are more talented than the Lakers Kobe was saddled it. LeNomad had time and talent but was more interested in Anthony Davis than making do with what was available. There is no excuse that can justify LeNomad's team being out of playoffs contention with 15 games to go. We ain't buying that shyte grin

Lmaooo mad? I'm anything but mad. Actually amused that such a meaningless move would generate such a childish reaction

Here lies Boateng. A great defender in the years of our Lord, 2013 and 2014. His two most vocal supporters tried to eulogise him to the status of defenders renowned for over a decade of performance, but he relapsed on them before the age of 28.

Nothing wrong with having short prime so long as you use it to win all the important trophies for club and country.

Unlike the overrated ones like John Terryble who could not do anything outside park the bus defensive settings and shamelessly went to knack full kit when the team won with those same settings even in his absence

LOL but a tough conference shouldnt have "bad teams". Besides, if you beat the bottom teams, lose to the top teams and clear out the "weaker" east you still make the playoffs so that really isnt an excuse.

He came back wen they were out of rhythm, lost momentum, then the whole trade fiasco.

What are the odds a 15 team conference wouldn't have bad teams? I'm telling you your perennial stat padder padded his records against the dross of the division. However playing in a tougher conference means you need to be 10 games over .500 to make it to the dance. Their weak record against the playoff contenders put them at a distinct disadvantage

When he came back they had a soul lifting win vs the Clippers. Why didn't they build on it? Even in the East trades happened and they made noise come playoffs time. If LeNomad was as much a leader as Bronsexuals claim then why couldn't he lead this bunch to the playoffs instead of pouting like a teenager. Kobe led trasher teams to the playoffs

YulisCromwell:
Thats not how boxing is scored, canelo landed far more power shots. Again even GGGs trainer was complaining about how triple G fought.

Naah. His shots were mostly to the body. That was where he had his real edge

By the rounds GGG outlanded him 8 times while Canelo made up for it by landing disproportionate shots in the other 4. It's pretty much the same trick Sugar Ray used vs Hagler

YulisCromwell:
You mean the media houses that all predicted canelo would lose? surprise surprise they sided with their pick in a close fight.

You mean 18 media houses picked Canelo to lose or what are you saying sef?

YulisCromwell:
LOL! Call it what you want that was a 10-8 round on every score card. Plus a few close rounds early on. Again a draw is certainly not a robbery like you sensitive boxing fans always like to claim after a fight that doesnt go your way.

A draw is a robbery when there was a clear winner. Everyone and their dog knows this. It's why boxing and it's credibility is at an all-time low

YulisCromwell:
Nope, everyone expected wilder to knock him out, he performed below par and that made fury look good. But ask Fury why he blatantly ran away from a rematch with wilder, he knows. Like wilder said, when he hit him in the 12th, he "touched his soul". He knows the bermaine stiverne treatment awaits him in the rematch.

Yes I agree. Wilder should be knocking out a guy that was out of the sport for almost 3 years, borderline obese and took warm-up fights with a bunch of pizza delivery guys. Instead he was thoroughly outclassed and his fellow Americans boxers like Mayweather, pundits like Max, Stephen A and legends like Atlas all gave Wilder the L

I was not expecting Wilder to be taught a boxing lesson and almost getting knocked out after scoring a KO. It's a pity Fury punches like a fairy else Wilder would have been knocked out

Wilder is making the usual noise he made for the AJ fight till we found out it was all a ruse. Scoring a controversial draw in your own country is a polite way of telling you you lost the fight. Everyone in boxing knows this except you

LOL Again he has a winning record against western teams. The lakers were derailed by a series of unfortunate events but they would have made noise this year. I am yet to see who can win in the NBA without help so what is wrong with getting some?

Yes because he padded his wins record with the dross of the Conference. A combined 11-3 against the dross that weren't sniffing the playoffs like Dallas, Pelicans, Sacramento and Phoenix

What I would expect a skilled analyst to point out at all times is that the Lakers were still in contention to make the playoffs with 31 games left when LeNomad returned.

YulisCromwell:
LOL Canelo won the second fight fair and square, i know pundits and fans hate him and predicted hed lose, i know many lost their money but be honest with yourselves. Even Abel admitted that Canelo took it to GGG, they wanted mexican style, he met them at the middle of the ring and your GGG couldnt do shit but take the plastic surgery canelo inflicted on him. Canelo won that clearly in my eyes. Andre Ward, Sugar Ray Leonard, Floyd and many others saw it the same way too.

Ohhhh no no no I would have to be really naïve to stake on that fight after it became clear that a Knockout was the only shot GGG had at scoring a win. I'm a logical bettor now not an emotional one.

GGG outlanded Canelo in 8 of the 12 rounds, 18 media houses and only 1 had Canelo winning. It was another heist

YulisCromwell:
And as for Fury, you cant get put on your a-s twice and cry about the decision. A draw is a fair result in my eyes. Thats how the british judge scored it as well.

Lmaooo you call that first slip a knockdown? That's desperate. I was actually rooting for Wilder but he let me down with his agricultural boxing. He put Fury on his a$$ in the 12th yet Fury got up and still outboxed him and almost knocked him out. It's a pity the boxing gods didn't bless Fury with KO power.

Even Americans thought Wilder lost that fight. Teddy Atlas, Max Kellerman, I've not seen a credible American boxing pundit that didn't hand Wilder the L for that fight

Seems you little small fries never learn

Lebron is washed

Lebron is also averaging 27 8 9 on 51% shooting, a stat line only oscar robertson has ever posted.

Lebron doesnt play defense (Because some knuckleheads pick out on or two highlights)

Lebron also has a better defensive rating than KD and only a lick behind kawhi. One of the best defensive ratings forwards amongst all stars.

But Lebron only has empty stats

The lakers also have a positive point differential with lebron on the court and an overwhelmingly negative differential with lebron off the court.

Lebron couldnt adapt to the superior western conference

Meanwhile lebron has a winning record against western conference teams.

Was also fourth place on christmas day whooping the warriors plastic bum before injuries and trade rumors ruined their momentum.

34, Year 16, still heads and shoulders above every other player in the league. The GOAT and its not even close.

Salah is a goalscorer. Hazard is the better technical player and more well-rounded as a footballer.

You wanna pick one, pick the one you need. An all-round attacker who will score 15 goals a season? Or a full blown striker who will score 25 goals a season but create less chances.

If Hazard could score 20-25 goals a season, one would obviously pick him. But he is an inconsistent scorer.

It depends on your definition of well-rounded. Salah's position does not leave room for Shakushaku dancing. Salah is a goalscorer but also has 7 assists in the league

Same for Ronaldo, same for Griezmann and same for Mbappe. They also create sufficient chances without the fuss of dribbling and takeons.

In a team sport you just don't go out and call yourself the GOAT. I've never heard such arrogance since I started following sports. This is what I told some of your LeNomad fanboys when they were bringing up Muhammad Ali and other erroneous examples.

There's a similar trend with this. Notice how all over them are the worst sports analyst on the Media when it comes to basketball?

Stephen A Smith stopped riding LeBron's D when Bron called him fake news and now only says it when it suits his argument.
Skip Bayless disputes it and says it's KD. Bruh!! It's 2019 not 2013.

I think everyone bar Rob Parker and Skip Bayless is on his payroll on Fox. Nick Wright is definitely the leader of the cult and a god awful analyst too (he's actually terrible at analysing other sports, jokes apart)

Lmaooo I'm glad Stephen A came to his senses. He also used to annoy back in the day with Skip when Skip was the only voice of reason. He is the most consistent of the lot and I respect him for that, though he can be a rabble rouser sometimes

Yoruba will say ofe l'ohun. For me LeNomad is no longer the best player in the league and no amount of empty stat padding would change that. The cliché was he could drag any team!
