The Nuggets will not smell another ring for a while if their front office keeps parading these useless players as role players.

Abeg how is that different from every playoff teams. How far would any of these teams go? Celtics without Taytum? Bucks without Giannis? Knicks without Brunson? Nuggets without Jokic? Warriors without Steph? OKC without Shai?

Hold on; how many of them have a co star like Luka? Please answer. Cos any small thing una go dey shift the goal post dey cook agenda. Lemme guess, if the "lowly" Lakers win, Bron is the best thing after God and now your personal lord and saviours because he had no help?



Bro, at some point you have to leave some meat for Savannah. Cos what??
Read what I said again. No team will or can win the championship with a star player injured. That's set in stone. But we aren't in the playoffs yet, it's still the regular season. Look at the vast difference between us complete and us incompetent. I just watched OKC beat Denver without J. Dub. OKC had been cruising for months without Chet. Now answer me, can the Lakers cruise like that without either Bron or Luka?

LeBron said this himself. Are you ok? Do you realize that Lebron is a defendant here?
If your question is who I should listen to between you and LeBron, it's LeBron because he clearly knows ball better than you do.

Re: The NBA Begins by benji93: 3:22am On Mar 16, 2025
Oh far from it. Nice try though. I just don't remember a time when Lebron thought his team could win at less than full capacity. I mean the plan is to always have an excuse ready, isn't it? grin

Even If AD remained on the team with Lebron and a newly acquired Luka, they will still be underdogs to you. Una go done look for one excuse. Lebron always need help and more help to win. That being said, give some credit to his teammates. But no! Teammates are always the reason he loses. When/If he wins, give credit to his teammates because they are the reason he wins. But will that happen? No! You dick riders go carry one stat use am as point.
Lebron won in 2016, give Kyrie credit. Mba! Lebron did it all by himself. Kyrie leaves in 2018. Lebron didn't win because he had no help. Fuckin acknowledge that Lebron ain't shit without help, more help and yet more help.

Even when he had help in 2011 with Miami, still lost. After they had cracked the code to winning in 12 & 13, he jumped ship as soon as they lost instead of staying to grind it out. Is that your goat? No loyalty to anybody or any team. When we point this out, you call us haters. Even with the jump shipping, hustling, disloyalty and shit, he still doesn't have as many rings as Kobe, MJ, Kareem, Magic, Pippen.

Añd you call him king, king of what? Longevity stats? Because that is all I see.
Re: The NBA Begins by kendrick9(m): 6:59am On Mar 16, 2025
Everytime I come on this thread it's always Lebron this Lebron that. undecided
Do y'all even follow the NBA apart from the Lakers & the Golden state? huh
Re: The NBA Begins by kendrick9(m):
A40:
Jokic really should be MVP but it's cool let SGA get some shine

Hope Kendrick can see my boy Jamal back to cooking and entering postseason form
Nah SGA is the MVP. Rookie Alex Sarr just dropped 34 on Jokic's head and it's not just him but it's been it's been a consistent theme with Jokic this season. He plays terrible defense.
SGA brings both sides every night offence and defense. Plus his team record and he's played games without his second best player most of the season.
Chet has missed 40+ games and now J-Dub is out and he's still doing his thing winning and dropping 40 bangers casually.
Give that man his MVP!


Jamal is still inconsistent. He can drop 40 today and the next invisible man. Not forgetting he's literally a cone on defense

Re: The NBA Begins by greypencils: 9:14pm On Mar 17, 2025
The way Timber wolves dey on warriors arse ehn, if GSW drop points, e go hard to catch up. Timberwolves are in form, are playing with a full healthy squad and have the easiest games left in the regular season.

Ok, let me step to this.

The problem is half the stuff you saying, its your head. Lets explain: No one ever said Kyrie didnt deserve credit. Till today we still rever Ray Allen for the last second 3, Chris Bosh, that inside presence and last second rebound, DWade, Kyrie, even Klove and that cleveland crew! All these guys are part of the story, the lore of of folks around Lebron. You know how many of those guys feature on podcasts still recount Lebron stories till today? Till now RJ still pallies with Lebron like they still teammates!! We and Lebron know he had help, and it appreciated till today!

Ask yourself, o MJ fan, how many people can MJ pally with the same way today. For real, take a moment and let it sit, the 6 chanpionship teams, how many? The real reason you think we sont give credit is beacuse it is you, the MJ fan that likes to down other peoples contributions to MJ's career. You donw Pippen, no mention of the Tony Kukocs, nothing. MJ, MJ all the time, as if he didnt have help. Look in the mirror, you are pointing fingers at yourself!

They think we think like them grin. When they say MJ is goat, they try not to mention any of the help he received. When we say Lebron is goat we acknowledge other people's contributions. We still talk of those ill jumpshots by Kyrie against the GSW. Can these guys name Pippen's contributions in MJ's iconic game 6 vs Utah Jazz? Of course not! All they remember the last second jumpshot my MJ, no memory of anything else! Yet, every other day, waaah, waaaah, waaah, Lebron this Lebron that. Make dem go rest abeg! 40 year old man still in top shape and pursuing legacy, more power to him!!!

"That one made me the greatest of all time"

Imagine someone playing a team sport claiming that but fans can't cook him when he falls short and fakes another injury again else you're a hater. Clowns and Muppets grin

The Schrodinger Bronsexual will tell you he makes everyone better with one side of his ass and with the other side tell you he lacks help grin

Watch Austin Reaves as he dey ball at all star level they will say it's cos he's playing with Bron (though he's consistently cooked in his absence) once he has a struggle performance they will shit on him like they shat on every other player that played with their king

A group led by Boston's own Bill Chisholm have bought the Boston Celtics for a record $6.1B, this should place us 4th on the NBA most valuable list.

Seems Antman has fully caught the 3pt spamming virus.

It's now made him a lazy hooper. Nights the 3ball isn't falling he's next to useless cos he's not drawing fouls. This the difference between him and SGA

There's no reason on God's green earth that Anthony Edwards should be taking 9-12 3s a game.

Players have off nights but the true greats have a feel for it and change their approach. I notice Antman especially this season keeps spamming 3s dey go.

They're going to have real problems in the playoffs against any team not named the Nuggets who for some reason they just own
