This is not true. When KD carries depleted teams deep into playoff finals or underdogs to win championships we can then have this conversation. Until then this is just okoto meow talk.

KD is great. Lebron is goat stratosphere.

The rings KD have were a gift. He has a lot still to prove.

Stop the blasphemy!

Blasphemy what?
So LBJ didn't join the Heat with Wade to win his first ring.
So which depleted team or underdogs did LBJ lead to win a championship, remind me again.

joshboo:
Bruv kd n LeBron are classes apart. Abeg asides scoring Tell me how else KD impacts a game? Can he lock down the oppositions best player? Can he drop that dime when the game is on the line n he's double teamed? Does he affect the game on blocks, steals, assists when the game's on the line? Abeg mk una stop this comparison. How's KD more naturally gifted as compared to lbj like how? To end it all lbj is being compared to the goat while KD would never be In that mention, you could only argue about him being one of the best scorers of all time.

Say what??
KD is a better defender, better shooter, and he does everything else better than LBJ, apart from maybe making wrong decisions career wise. That one na fact. The only mistake KD made was not doing what your LBJ did earlier in his career. He decided to stick with Westbrook for most of his early career, we can see who Westbrick is now. So for the fact that the man wasted the better part of his early years being loyal, does not mean he is not better than LBJ naturally. Now, LBJ is a Legend and a hard worker and remains one of the best to ever play the game (10 years from now and he will be out of the GOAT conversation, so let's enjoy your man while he is still playing), I am not disputing that fact, but if your man spent more early years with the Cavs, we will not be having this conversation. That's KD's mistake there.

James Harden made the league to be attempting more threes
James Harden made the stepback three a go-to shot
James Harden changed the way the game is officiated.

Only one person did all this, and yet here on Nairaland some emotional folks want to make me believe Steph has influenced the game more than Harden. Mtcheeewww

Okay o, we all know you know the truth deep down.... But it's every man to his opinion shey? Steph > Harden in the department you're talking about sef

mattfeuter:
I don’t know if he’s lazy, soft or just got comfortable after winning a championship.

I think that ring came too early. He does not look fired up, he's not even trying too hard. I give it to Lebron, the man gives his all on the court and that's why it's always so sweet when he does not win cos e dey always pain baba. He gives his best every game. But no ginger from AD this early season, AD might be thinking "I just won a ring, I have proved to everyone I can do it, I will do my best and leave the rest".

steady986:
My boys got sloppy there in the end after shutting down the Celtics for almost the entire 4th quarter. LeBron was just fooling around, deferring to AD and Schroder all the time. Well, it's the regular season, a time to try what works and what doesn't. Great win in the end after that disappointment in Detroit.

You guys were lucky to win, and see how you paint it like it was not just a point game win. Give credit to the Celtics jare, that team will beat any team come the playoffs. Kemba shot poorly all night, he should not have been on the court at the moment IMO. Lucky win for the Lakers, see how AD sef no believe am.

steady986:
LeBron on a mission.

Baba is on another level. Baba has improved his 3 points shooting. The guy too good abeg. He probably wanted to remind the Cavs to remember their hero and what he does best. But this Cavs team looks impressive. That Sexton boy needs to dey calm down and pass the ball when he has to, all the praises don dey enter him head. I was thinking Cavs would win, but Bron was just getting started. Baba keeps getting better

You still have something like this but bigger?

Blueelf:
Bro, you're taking this thing too personal.

I apologize for yabbing your finances

But abeg, this thread is for basketball- the NBA to be exact and not for the NFL. The title of this thread attests to that fact.

If you guys want to discuss the NFL, feel free to create another thread for it and fire away.

Many viewers here don't watch or understand the NFL. This thread is for the NBA. Stick to its purpose. It won't kill you.

Steph just slapped LBJ's cheeks yesterday. I expected this thread yo go crazy over that but no, una dey discuss Tom Brady et al. Haba.....

No be me you yab na.
But sincerely, the guys talking NFL is cos it's the post season now, you know the atmosphere the post season of any sport brings. These guys are like a family here and as much as we share same interest in basketball, we can still talk other things and still come back to basketball.
I know nothing about the NFL too and even though ESPN dey show am instead of basketball, some people still love the sport and the discussion they are having here is normal. You know how busy this thread is during the playoffs, just try to understand with the guys, it's NFL playoffs. I follow other basketball forums and the NFL is the talk everywhere now.
For yesterday's game, I streamed the game and slept when it looked like it would be a blowout, only to wake up and saw GSW won. E shock me pa. But when it comes to Lakers winning or losing, don't expect much from guys here, otherwise na 4 page debate you dey find cos Steady and A40 and the rest go debate until next week.

For the NFL discussions, please take heart. Na for the time

Blueelf:
Before you could afford a smartphone

Ahhhh, so I see you are in the category of people with this poor line.
Note oga, most of the guys here are matured guys and it would shock you to know that most guys here watch these games live right there in the US.
I would have reported you as well, but what's my business? Na you get your data
Most of the guys here are Basketball Guru's so because they decide to discuss the NFL that is now in the post season does not mean that you come and hurl insults.
And as for Basketball related discussions, you have not even contributed anything much on this thread. There is nothing that has happened in the NBA that has not been discussed here. I even get updates from this thread. Even Steady that posts only about Basketball ignores other discussions and keeps with his Basketball, yet he no complain. Na you wey no get anything add dey complain.

So abeg, with your smartphone, firstphone or whatever.. Park one side abeg, make we see road

SmooshCHN:
Tremendous comeback. This one was worth staying awake for.

I'm laughing cos of Fantasy league ni o....

Blueelf:
Semid4lyfe, this is a basketball thread yet people are hell bent on derailing it. I have appealed to them before but they refused to listen

Bringing this to your attention

So because this is a basketball thread, the guys here should not talk about other sports when things happen there? If you would care to know, it's the same people who have been keeping this thread active for years that you are reporting. If you are not comfortable with their NFL post, just like myself, kindly scroll down and you'll have the same people talking about NFL talk about Basketball.
Now imagine say you wey dey complain no dey contribute reach any of these guys when it comes to basketball itself. Go to other threads and see how threads are hijacked, but here the guys discuss basketball extensively and then decide to talk about what is happening live in NFL, and you are here complaining. The same happens on soccer threads where guys there talk about boxing and other sports, which one con be your own na.
Biko, take down this your post, who you dey report? Na you dey keep the thread active?

We've been here for years and this is how it happens here

So, the NBA resumes today, and the Lakers play the Clippers. We know how it'll go already: the Clippers will defeat the Lakers and the entire media/haters will crown them title favourite over the Lakers while questioning the career of LeBron James for having a below par performance. They'll question the mentality of AD as well, and they would wonder if the Lakers could have beaten the Clippers in the playoffs last year if they met.

Maybe you are right afterall. Lakers would have lost in the playoffs against Clippers. I don dey reason am

But your bench already defeated the Clippers in Preseason

aliondo:
Bro.. don't give up...You never can tell...Injuries come into play a lot in this fantasy league...

Thanks Bro. Abi you wan trade, you can check out my team, if you want to trade anyone

Omo na make I go manage the left overs build my own team.

Mehn see Bleep up. I'm messed up right now. I just got home now and I missed this year's draft.
Kawhi, as much as I love my man Kawhi, I no need am jare, baba will soon start taking games out and Clippers will struggle this season.
Now I have AD, so I will be praying for Lakers to lose and AD to beast. Na wa o.
I have a fair team sha, I am not so confident of winning the league anymore, but top 3 sure for me.
Good luck guys.

SmooshCHN:
I wasn't wrong when I called you the Knicks of our fantasy �����
I get owambe that day. I hope I don't miss the draft.

I would have prayed you miss it, but because I want to discipline you this season, I hope you don't miss it. lol.
This man has always had luck against me. This season, I am coming prepared, maybe an upgrade from Knicks to Nets/Lakers

Killrhymz:
your's is better now I got Steph autodrafted first, he played only 2 and half game.

And I thought I had the worst first pick . Pele, make sure you don't miss this season's draft o, otherwise, another pele in advance when you get Klay as 1 or 2.

steady986:
Giannis signing an extension basically ends any false belief of him going to Golden State. Not just for this season, but for the next 3-4 years, as long as Klay and Steph remain on that team. Because there's no way you can have 3 players on a team earning 40m annually. No way. The only way we can see Giannis in GS is if one of them opt out of their contract and re-sign for less, which is unlikely to happen. So, Giannis to GS is ended for real.

Bron, come join Fantasy league na. With how you dey pepper us here with Lakers, I for like beat you tire for Fantasy league

SmooshCHN:
You say this every year. You are like the New York Knicks of our fantasy team. Accept it.


That's after I draft Towns, Curry and Anthony Davis in the first two rounds.

Harden, Hardlife, Hardìck, it doesn't matter. Birdman won't crack top 6.

He say na Knicks. But I came 3rd last year, if not for the pandemic, I don target you. Well better come prepared this year, I'm not missing the draft this time so you'll get prepared. Imagine Kyrie being auto drafted as my number 1 pick last season. Last season's Kyrie...

SmooshCHN:
This guy is so pained he mentioned me twice. Anyways, I fixed your comment for you.

This year was (and is still) my year. You can't stop it.
BTW, pick Harden since the season is about to be Hard for you.

Finally this will be my year. The way I go take make things happen go shock una.

leesamyoung:

ctex4real:
You sabi jare. I come dey wonder the Fury him dey yarn about

Lol. It's obvious he loves Fury. He is not wrong tho being a fury fan. I love this thread, seeing people that love boxing. Really interesting thread. Make AJ just round this thing up now and make us happy.

AJ vs Pulev is next, build up now
