So the Warriors went 7-4 without Steph. I can't think of another team that can have such record with their best player out. That team is a super duper team. I'd have to question them if they don't win it all this season.

birdman:
No, pls dont say this. That was a grown man's game back then. The size and way they played make it look deceptively slow, but it wasnt. Go time those Larry Bird jumpers. He looked slow, could barely jump. But time it and see where he releases from, and compare it with KD.

Speed is not the most important thing in a game. I would argue its not even skill. Its the grown man mindset which is lacking today. Outside of a few shining stars like Lebron, Durant, Curry, Jokic, Embiid, Giannis, we got stars that are OK with missing half the season just because they dont feel too good. Kawhi, AD etc all skilled, but soft like charmin. Soft. Dont care how fast they are, they soft. If they dropping 40pts on your @ss at half time and get to 70, you soft. Trifling as well. Rockets Im looking at you

Yea, another PHYSICALITY merchant

What a comeback from the Nets. They may not be the best offensive team in the league but that team is stacked with defenders that can get stops regularly.

The Westbrook effect

How won't players sit out games here and there? Lol. Be comparing today's game with the 70s and 80s and 90s. Abi you think the pace of those eras can be compared to that of this era? Those years that guys played at a pedestrian pace. You could literally be walking on the court. Look how fast the game is today. Guys are always running.

Jokic about to have more MVPs than Steph, Giannis, Duncan, Bob Pettit and Karl Malone, and as much as Magic, Bird and Moses Malone. Plus he already has more than KD, Kobe, Shaq, Garnett, Hakeem, Dirk, Erving, Big O and Barkley. Wild

Damian Lillard...sheesh. Beast

I was gonna come here and complain about the officiating but I'm just gonna enjoy my 27-point comeback

Wth is going on in the Clippers/Kings game?

The 🐐

I love the way JJ calls Stephen A's bluff when it comes to talking about LeBron in relation to MJ

LeBron really blocked Shai's dunk in the all-star game

LeBron James is still mad that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder beat the Lakers on the night he broke the scoring record. pic.twitter.com/UxHumYaFOV

I can just repost these photos until he comes back with a better argument

Never seen LeBron get carried this way though. Just saying.

The polls don't lie

Somebody call the paramedic

I love how they omitted all-star appearances and all-NBA from that graphic though Very intentional

Most field goals attempted by LeBron is 36. The all-time leading scorer who didn't even have to shoot much. A pass-first guy.

birdman:
Nets have to keep their heads up after this loss. They maxed out the 76ers and if they play like this every night, they are in the playoffs conversation for sure

I think they'll make the playoffs. They already have a huge leeway thanks to their mid season form.

I can't tell you how important that win was. No more room for errors. We need wins ASAP.

And AD. My goodness. I know he had a terrible offensive game but the way the refs allowed the Warriors defense to foul the heck out of him needs to be explained. And to think he only shot 4 FTs is unacceptable.

Word has it that LeBron brought 2 goats to his party last night Elite shithousery

Our resident covert Lakers fan has commented again

This was just last year man, jeez. LeBron don suffer

Analyse this photo critically and you'll see that LeBron didn't/doesn't go to the free throw line as often as his peers. Peep MJ, who played 5 fewer seasons than Bron and yet he's just a few hundreds behind him. What about Kobe, he played 20 years but had some injury plagued seasons, and he also wasn't the main guy right off the block when he came into the league but he's a couple of hundreds ahead of Bron. Let's not even talk about Jerry West who played 14 seasons.

M.J fans are now taking subtle shots at LeBron for not having a "present father". I knew these people were scumbags but I didn't know they could decend this low, especially on this thread. Tragic.

Want to know who a pass first player is? Someone who is capable of being the assist leader. You don't become assist leader if you're not a pass first player. LeBron has been an assist leader in this league, in the only season he was asked to play point guard. He won it effortlessly. MJ can't even relate. LeBron can be the scoring champion just as easily as he can be assist leader. MJ clocked 6 assists per game only three times in his 15 year career even though he was a guard. His highest was 8. As a forward LeBron has clocked 6 assists every single year bar his rookie year. He has clocked 8 assists five times. It's easy to average 30+, just shoot as much as MJ did throughout his career and you'll average 30. That is exactly what LeBron has done the past 2 years and MJ crybabies are groaning that he's shooting too much. The year MJ averaged 37, he shot 27.8 times per game. His first year in the Wizards where he averaged 22.9 ppg, he shot 22.1 times to get that, as a totally washed athlete. The most shots LeBron has ever averaged is 23.1. So judging a player by how many points he scores per game or how many scoring titles he has is just being overly simplistic. LeBron is the greatest scorer the game has ever seen by virtue of scoring consistently and efficiently for 20 years and counting, as well as holding the record for most points both in the regular season and in the playoffs.

benji93:
Interestingly breaking the three-point record gained more traction than the scoring record. Lefans are pained. And he dey sweet me.

Lol. You yourself know it wasn't even close. Dey whyne yourself. Except you've been living on Mars of course.

A lot of Jordan crybabies on Twitter Love to see it
