Lol. Form efficiency it has now changed to margin of error  I wonder how someone who shoots 6 threes per game is supposed to be more efficient than someone who shoots 2. LeBron shot 59% while attempting 6 threes and MJ shot 42% while attempting 2 threes. And I'm talking overall FG% not just % from 3. How hard is it to see the flaws in that  |

WeissVonner: This is crazy. Barring any serious injury, this man is going to dominate your favourite players until he's forty. This sort of dominance is unprecedented.
Shout out to AD as well. He's starting to stake a claim to being better than a lot of the so called "top 5" players in the league. Just checked. MJ went 11 of 27 in that series while attempting only 2 threes. He was 30% from 3. LeBron meanwhile went 11 of 19 while attempting 6 threes. He was 41.7% from 3. LET THAT SINK IN |

At 35, MJ knew doing more than scoring would be asking a bit too much from him. At 35 Bron is still dominant in every single category. Only God knows how many shots MJ had to take per game to score 33 By the time LeBron is done playing there won't be a doubt as to who the GOAT is. |

Lol. I love how someone is trying so hard to make us believe that KD Warriors was a beatable team in a 7-game series. The desperation  |

Android17: Bros, we are not just counting rings. MJ averaged more points than Bron to add to his regular season MVP at age 35. Bron is chasing a ghost and he said so himself. I respect LBJ but he is also benefiting from the narratives he thinks are against him. Don't forget when KD and Curry were never allowed to get MVP votes because the media accepted that they will "cancel eachother out" but changed that same rule for LBJ and AD? Let us be objective. LBJ has not eclipsed Jordan yet and he will have to atleast match his FMVPs to be reasonably there. So who ever averaged more points automatically is the better player? Really? And are we still talking about regular season MVP when LeBron has won the finals MVP? Isn't the finals MVP the be all and end all? The bottom line is that at age 35, LeBron will be entering next season as the best player in the league. Same with MJ, but obviously he retired temporarily at 35 And in the three years KD and Steph played together, Giannis, Harden and Westbrook all won MVP. Giannis won it with 27.7 and 12.5 and had the best record in the league. Harden won it with 30pts and 8.8 assists while leading Houston to first in the west. Westbrook won it while averaging an unprecedented 31 point triple double. Tell me who you would have not given MVP from those three? |

WeissVonner: He's eligible for one if the at the Lakers behest.
Yeah I think Javale is going to be the scape goat. Boogie slimmed down and was looking so good before the season started. Excited to see which version of him we get, hopefully he's not lost oo much productivity. And you're spot on, him and Dwight offer more versatility.
As for Kuzma, I hope he sorts things out because with the way he's been playing, he's not going to make it through next season. The Lakers also need a wing defender badly, we need someone to throw against someone like Kawhi. Jerami Grant would've been perfect, but unfortunately, hes way out of our price range. Maybe we can stick Jamychal Green from the Clippers or get Harkless. And AD about to get his max salary, which makes me feel Danny Green will be the one to be sacrificed. |
Sports › Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 1:06pm On Oct 13, 2020 |
WeissVonner: The Lakers did this without Avery Bradley. Danny Green is a good defender but the Lakers need to consider if that contract of his is worth it. If by the midseason trade deadline him and Kuzma haven't shown some consistency, they need to go. The Lakers need a 3 and D wing. They also need a third scorer who can get his own shot, don't know if Dion can be that guy. Then who do they keep between Javale and Dwight if they're signing Cousins (congrats on his ring BTW).
The Lakers have some very difficult decisions to make. But the bright side is they can only get better. Wait, Cousins got a ring?  For me Javale needs to go. There's no point keeping him if he's a no-factor in the playoffs. Series after series he kept on being the fall guy. Having Cousins and Dwight will give us a more dynamic center position. Right from the off it was not our goal to have two rigid centers, circumstances forced our hands. I hope Cousins can stay fit though, because if he re-signs he's going to be our starting center. But I think we'll have enough to deal with short layoffs, by resorting to AD, Dwight and Markief, but a long injury will be bad. Whichever way, our size will continue to be a nightmare for teams next season. Damn. Dwight, AD, Cousins, LeBron, Morris, Kuz...that's a lot to handle |

Android17: Jordan is the GOAT but...a Rockets team with CP3 and Harden lost to a KDless warriors the very next season 4-2. And Jordan did lose to Orlando in his prime. However, if your argument is that at 3-2 and with the double digits lead at half time, Jordan would have closed out that game against GSW, you have a point. Also, Rockets did miss 27 consecutive threes but they made twos and free throws in-between the missed threes. They lost to the better team. Simple |

The best thing haters on this thread could have done during this series was shut up and accept that LeBron was going to win his 4th ring. But no, they decided to run their mouths. Even when the Lakers were a game from winning the championship, they still trolled...the audacity. They thought LeBron was going to blow a 3-1 lead? Like seriously? |
