Congratulations to the KING on passing Malone to score the second most regular season points in history. Now let's stat-pad our way to number 1.

But he’s not a scorer tho

birdman:
[b]I still feel Lebron's intensity this late in a lost season is a foolish and lost cause, but I have to give props where its due. When the guy said he wasnt going to quit, he meant it. It takes a special breed to still lay it out on the floor every night. And it sets a very good example for the rest of the team. We play hard till the end.

Humans can never be pleased. Which kind backhand compliment be this?

If he plays hard, he’s stat padding.

If he doesn’t, then he simply doesn’t care to give enough effort.

Wetin una want exactly

If Lebron gets injured this year only to miss playoffs or get blown out in the first round, that would be foolish, do you agree? Sometimes its better to shut it down, recuperate and come back.

And I have never accused Lebron of stat padding. If Lebron is on the floor he is good for a triple double any night, we all know that. Question is, is it worth the risk on a 37 year old body.

Lol, you need to ignore the stat pad accusers. They are pained to see Lebron still this strong, and they are looking for people to engage in endless arguments with. Leave them, let them argue with results.

Btw, steady986 was mocking those accusers, not raising an accusation himself. Just in case you didnt know

I can see golden warrior without Curry,is like toothpicks

The warriors are going out in the first round with or without Steph.

My comment was actually intended to be sarcastic about him not being a scorer.

My brother,

Since we can all agree that the rings argument has “sailed” and never to return to harbour, I mean, why not catch/pass Kareem lol

Personally, I wouldn’t want him to shut it down regardless if the lakers make the playoffs or not. I think the NBA is better with Lebron. . . . .

Even the more useless teams can sneak in a win here or there once in a while against the top teams. But once my beloved Bulls meet any elite team, we prostrate like a yourba man greeting his elders.

Literally no win against any top three team in either conference this team. For a supposed top team. And not only do we lose, we get our backs blown out.

Tufia. I have never seen a thing like this. So we will just go and embarrass ourselves in the playoffs.

It hasnt sailed imo. He just needs to be more patient - the Lakers can come back next year with young legs and win the whole thing. The reason he doesnt look GOAT like right now is really Lebron's own doing. You should never heap GOAT accolades on yourself - others do it for you. See Tom Brady, have you ever heard him put himself in the GOAT conversation? No. Just let your body of work speak for you.

All the things I praise Lebron for, this talking too much thing, that is the one consistent knock on him. That and passing the game winning shot to a 3pt shooter when you are right there at the rim with 2s to go

Lolz, prostration no be problem o, I actually admire una respectfulness.

Na Chicago Bulls be my problem

Kyrie is back.. Mandate to be lifted on Thurs according to shams

KD may not be the primary reason this mandate was lifted but his interview sure brought some heat and attention to the situation which forced some serious conversations…

Even though you sounded serious, you are wicked. . Patience at 37?

Can we talk about KAT, the Western Conference Player of the Week ? This man is balling!!!

He’s the hot hand but his pride is reminiscent of ja morant.

Anyone with thoughts about the J. Butler incident?

Spo is usually measured and in that incident he was out of character which leads me to believe he has tried his best in managing Butler's excesses. Udonis is the OG on that roster that keeps everybody in line, Butler is a renegade who doesn't feel accountable to anyone. Butler has a history of being disruptive (Bulls/ TWolves/ Sixers) and it was only a matter of time before this happened.

The Heat have a strong mentality when it comes to their culture. I think they sit down together and hash this one out, especially as the post season closes in, things like this are not new in professional sports. Butler is an integral piece of the domino but he is not indispensable to Miami and that is why I feel this might be his last season in Miami if this is not properly addressed because while it is nothing, it is something.

All professional athletes have pride. KAT has always felt underrated and underappreciated in the league.

Just Butler being Butler. He likes to bark a lot, but nothing will come of it.

Which team fits KAT best if he leaves Minnesota??

I havent watched enough of his games to see how he plays. He does seem to be more serious post his mom's covid death. Before this, KAT was a chronic underachiever

Every year, Mark Few and the Zags always get bullied out of the tournament because they are not physical enough.

This season asides he's not done anything to be in the class as the elite big men biko, between all this youngins that always self_validate are crap to me, Do your thing and let your game speak. Na For play-offs we go know if he's really made that big step-up.

aliondo:

GSW, Mavs and the Nets

Khanben:


Guys like udoh, Monty and cavs coach are just killing it this season.

Even Willie Green is doing solid with the Pelicans

Can't blame him for doing too much and overcompensating. For a while he's been derided as the SI unit of softness

felix00:


The defense issue should be sorted if Ben Simmons makes it back before play offs

That boi need more therapy. He ain't coming back into a pressure cooker environment like the playoffs. He allegedly has a 'herniated back' I would love to see the MRI for that. Cos clearly all that bench work takes a toll on the back it appears

Lol what is wrong with stat padding. I don't know why Bronsexuals dey so defensive like this. The man is taking 8 3's per game, playing no defense, assisting less. Even sitting out games to help the scoring average look glossier. We are not even throwing shade. Na wetin dey actually happen and it's perfectly ok.

Butler really looking like a fake tough guy these days. He's not that tier of player, Been looking at him a type of way since that Jokic incident where he was clapping like Shaniqua

That Chet guy needs to chop some akpu cos how is a 7ft weighing 190 pounds.

God forgive me but he almost looks malnourished. He needs to bulk up that frame a bit abeg
