This take is debatable.

Cousins was dropping unreal numbers in Sacramento before his injury.

I’m not so sure AD was better than him back then.

Cousin’s best season 27.8pts and 10.6 rebs while AD had 28.1 and 11.1 same season. Cousins was the better passer but scoring was obviously same level.

AD played great defence and Cousins played no defence.

So they were even in offence but there was a gulf in class on defence.

AD was definitely better. There are 2 sides to the game.

He might be.

It’s not even the fact that he’s a good scorer, it’s always the efficiency for me.

I respect efficient players and not just guys jacking up shots.

This was why it never worked in OKC having Westbrook as his decision maker.

The only fear now For the Nets should be Kyrie.
Maybe we have to distinguish most diverse scorer from best scorer. Because if you say best scorer, LeBron has to be on that list too grin the numbers are there to prove it.

People forget so easily, the center position was dead before cousins started posting unreal numbers.

Most teams were defecting to power forwards and small forwards to ancore their center position until cousins rejuvenated a hope for future 7footers.

As good as Embild and Towns were fast coming up, we still hardly saw any of both displacing Cousins from that position.

I agree, I think Lebron has always been an all-rounded player.

Scoring, Defense, Assist.


But KDs efficiency? My goodness, “that boy good”.

I hope they are both okay. The Browns are out of timeouts, the Chiefs can run the clock down but it has to be methodical.
Re: The NBA Begins by chic2pimp(m): 12:16am On Jan 18, 2021
Well done to the Chiefs. Holding out for that long without their Star QB is highly commendable. Their mediocre defence somewhat came through in the end.

I sincerely hope so too. No way are they beating the bills next week without Myhomeboy.

Their awards tell a different story. AD's mentality is what people questioned. You could argue they were at par offensively but on defense the gulf was always wide

I know some people on this page already quaking in their boots. They went on awe funfun hoping and praying that ol noodle arm Drew Brees would somehow get a win past the GOAT so they don't need to face him in their field. But in all of Sports there is one man I never bet against and that's Tom Brady

Next Sunday that imposter wearing the fake #12 up in Lambeau would be exposed once again in the playoffs like he always does when it matters most grin grin and it shall be glorious

grin grin Na the GOAT you dey call imposter abi? Well, at least we have established who has more expectations to win now considering level of talent including that Bucs defense. Your LAMB was not necessarily spectacular. He threw under 200, but for Brees sharing interceptions and that Bucs defense we for dey talk another thing.
You are coming to Lambeu, the home and Jerusalem of football. You had better win..

Harden has to be the PG, he's the best passer on the team. Kyrie would have his moments though.

Loving the Lakers match. Kelly Oubre Jr doing exactly what he's supposed to do. Draymond's number might look like fraud but he's doing a lot. He still needs to work on his offense though.
