People that want to be LeBron and carry the load of their team are breaking down one by one. Giannis next

A40:
Imagine a shameless clown who actively was rooting for Giannis to get injured to give his fave a clear shot at MVP claiming LeBron is hated. This is truly the height of shamelessness.

Bronsexuals swear MJ was responsible for his old man's death via his gambling and lie ad nauseum that he got suspended because of it yet they claim he didn't get hate. What can be more vile than that?

Even the people that spent hours shittin on Kobe while he was alive are here trying to preach to the choir. Lol if you live long enough you will see everything

Afromentalist:

Baba you just dropped bars !!!

The hate of Lebron is out of this world. I just don't get it

Whatever Lebron does, they must find an excuse to bash him or at least diminish his achievements. As in, wetin that man go do that is humanly achievable to be respected? We are talking about someone who is historical top 10 in almost every statistic that matters in this game. At this point, he must simply go on with his life, there is no hope.

But when he dies, them go form tears

benji93:
What bollocks!. He's top ten in only points and assists, does that count for "most"?

SmooshCHN:
I even forgot he made that statement. It's sickening to be honest. To wish injury on an athlete.

Afromentalist:

baba stop the hate.

If the season was normal (which it is not going to be no mo') it was expecte that he reaches top 10 in steals, minutes played, 3 pointers etc.

By the end of his career, he would have blown may of these records.

Stop the hate baba, it is not good for your liver

BlueMann:
Williamson,you are a real G; the real MVP.
Very nice gesture to pay workers at d Smoothie Center for d month on break. In the words of a nairalander "you are a real Niggarrrrrr"

Shout out to Giannis, K.Love, Zeller and co. too.

benji93:
Top ten in steals? according to whom? .

Roland17:


Don’t get it twisted, Kevin Love of the Cleveland Cavaliers is the real MVP!

Others are now following his steps and that includes the Williamson whom I am really proud of especially when you consider he is only 19.

We must never let it get lost that Kevin Love actually started this.

Afromentalist:

Lool. This one says Kevin love was the real Mvp. So in Miami it was wade, in The cavs it was love and uncle drew now in the lakers its the brow.

Anyone but lebron.

The hate is very real, cheeeezzz

Afromentalist:

Hate is worrying you. It's eating deeply in your bones. We must do something about that

Again I said it was projected that Bron could get to the top ten on different aspects of the game including those I quoted. Now whether he achieves it this season or not, he will definitely blow it all up by the time he retires, and there is nothing you can do about that. Now,

https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nba/2019/10/22/lebron-james-career-scoring-statistics/4060201002/

See for yourself. Then you can go to the nearest transformer and do the needful.

steady986:
Lol. People are really angry. Good
If you like dig up a post where I wished death on Harden or Adam Silver. Hell, dig up a post where I said I like eating vomit, na you sabi. Trying to divert your spotlight to a post I probably made out of ignorance, even if you're trying as much as you can to paint the post to what you want it to mean. At the end of the day, Luka Doncic went on his injury spell out, Giannis is on his spell out. What I said that day is exactly what happen. You can bash your head on transformer if you're pissed.

SmooshCHN:
You're too new to basketball to be sticking your face far into a player's ass. Relax.

benji93:
The argument is he can't get in this season even if he tried to. Don't assume projections made by other analysts are valid.

Afromentalist:

I said it was projected. If at least you accept that, then hold you peace. No need for unnecessary arguments.

benji93:
Stop going back to this argument, cos it doesn't help your case. The projection was not for this season. Perhaps you should stick to your comment before this one. He could do it by the end of his career. No argument. But don't suggest that he could by the end of this season. He's already top ten in total minutes, so that's not really part of my argument.

Afromentalist:

you relax bro

just because you are old in some thread on nairaland, does not make you the oldest baller around you know

Afromentalist:

Reading + Comprehension = Understanding

Reading - Comprehension = What you have up there.

SmooshCHN:
wtf is wrong with you? He wasn't even talking about MVP on court. He was talking about players making donations to pay salaries for staffs working for their NBA teams through this coronavirus issue.

You're too new to basketball to be sticking your face far into a player's ass. Relax. No one hates your king, what they are saying is that they think Giannis should be the MVP for this season. BTW, It's totally ok to love LeBron.

Afromentalist:

Baba you seriously have comprehension problems!

Go and read that article again and tell me again they were talking about t the end of his career. Or should I post it here?

" James likely will reach these during the 2019-20 season if he produces similar statistics to his injury-shortened season last year."

dayummm.

The Hate is very realll

Afromentalist:

In the meantime that nigga went mute. And the Reading comprehension teachers wey full here, could not tell him that bro, you misread there. Why? Because issa hater like em'

benji93:
I have been trying to be respectful. Don't ever call me Nigga, cos I am not. You are new here so I understand. I don't continue a chat that's not going anywhere. You don't even know what you are writing. We are all busy with one thing or another, but it seems you live on social media. Good luck with that. I can't help you cure your sickness of not being able to express yourself properly. You have to do that yourself. Go find a cure. Now back to your comment. You definitely need sound education. I had to waste my time to read the article again. I honestly don't know who depends on the USA today for reliable NBA news, when you can always follow it up on NBA reference, check the stats and make a convincing conclusion on your own. If you can't realize that the writer of that article was playing with words in the last sentence of paragraph one, you really do need that education. In fact, it's urgent. However, I have some time this morning, so I will give you some education.

Three-time NBA champion LeBron James already has a firm spot in the basketball history books in a myriad of categories, but his exact placement is becoming more clear.

As he enters his second year with the Los Angeles Lakers, the 34-year-old star — who will be paired with friend and new Laker Anthony Davis — has some significant milestones he can hit quite quickly.

James likely will reach these during the 2019-20 season if he produces similar statistics to his injury-shortened season last year.

The bolded is the entire first paragraph. You took the last sentence and drew a conclusion, leaving the context out. That's something you would learn from academic writing. If you skipped that class, I can't help you cos it's entirely your fault. That sentence was obviously a catchy conclusion to an introductory paragraph. It was to get you to read the rest of the article, which you obviously did not. All you were looking for were highlights, not a body of facts. In the penultimate sentence of the first paragraph, the writer wrote: "Lebron has some significant milestones he can hit quite quickly", but he didn't state which milestones. Then he went further in the last sentence of that paragraph "James likely will reach these during the 2019-20 season if he produces similar statistics to his injury-shortened season last year", which is obviously a reference to these milestones. By the way, a milestone doesn't have to be top ten, it could be moving into top 5 on a list he's already top ten. For instance, in assists, passing Gary Payton and Isiah Thomas was quite a milestone since those guys were traditional point guards. but he was 11th before this season commenced, so anyone that can count could have figured that out. For 3-pointers, he concluded that Lebron could pass Peja Stojaković, Rashard Lewis, Klay Thompson, Bryant, and Chauncey Billups. We know some of those guys are respectable 3-point shooters, Klay especially. He's passed all the people mentioned anyway, but that still doesn't get him into the top ten as you suggested in the first comment that led to this exchange, which was what I was disputing anyway. In fact, that guy's idea of a milestone is quite debatable. I don't know if passing an injured Klay Thompson in his 9th season can be considered a milestone. Some might, and that's quite alright. Regarding minutes, the guy clearly stated that he could pass Kobe, Wilt, and Duncan. Those guys are considered top 10 or 11 by most people, so you could consider it a milestone. The article was actually before the beginning of this season, October 16, 2019. I have no idea why you are referencing it now. You are definitely lacking in your ability to source for relevant information. The writer was playing with words, and you couldn't figure it out. That's not my problem. You also used the phrase "most categories", which is not true, not according to that article, and definitely not from any relevant source. He'll be top ten in points, assists and minutes by the end of 2019/2020 season, which he already is. He cannot get into top ten for any other category. Period. Those are 3 categories. Now go and read the article again. You may never get such an education again. . Again the writer used the word "milestone", which doesn't necessarily mean top ten. You took different parts of an article in different contexts and put them together. That is the definition of having comprehension issues. Be wise in your next comments. You have both expression and comprehension issues. I don't know what to do about you, honestly.
