SmooshCHN:
This is so hard.

Which team would you pick?

damentalist:
baba you have been dropping bars back to back dayummm

benji93:
You actually made a sound argument. Unfortunately for you, what Usain Bolt is known for is winning gold medals not coming up second. . While you are content with second place, which is not a bad thing, some sportsmen actually want to win it all. They are addicted to winning. Once they get to the finals, they gotta win. Pele. 3 out of 9 is damn poor, I am afraid. You got wifed too many times. As for the other guy. He wins by a margin. He doesn't sweat it out. He crushes you. He makes you understand that he's superior. Hell no, you are not getting a game 7. No chance.

DeeMain:
You guys are beginning to cross the line into the miasma of personal attacks that can make this place toxic. We've been there before and I bet nobody enjoyed it.

Basketball, a game, brought us together in this thread. Let's not lose track of this fact. It's only a game. Let's treat each other with dignity. Let the personal attacks stop.

benji93:
Wishing injuries on players other than Lebron in the contest of carrying a team is not ignorance. It's cynicism. You clearly wrote, "Giannis next", And that doesn't speak well of you. Own it. That was a terrible utterance.

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

Tundesam923:
man, lebron is great! Am a gsw fan and my God, that guy? I think to me, he contributes to winning more than any superstar past or present . He can do everything(his free throw shooting is a bit shaky), but i got no gripes with that man.

A40:
If you don't geddifok with your phony psychoanalysis. What a quack

This self righteous buffoon that was wishing injury on another player the other day is trying to give lectures.

It's very important you fuq off with your hypocritical nonsense

benji93:
Honestly, stop making a fool of yourself. . Stop making deductions when you don't have enough information from the other end. We are obviously talking about who the MVP is right now. So there can always be a contender until there is a winner. When someone opines that someone is the MVP, it's probably a momentary assertion, unless the other party says otherwise. You can always ask to be sure. . So in real-time(since it seems there's some sort of time dilation on your end ), saying someone is the MVP at a point in time does not mean, he'll get the crown. The clause was "Giannis is the rightful MVP". Meanwhile, you asked a question i am yet to answer. .I will get back to you.

A40:
You're daft. I blame myself for arguing with an obtuse dingbat like you. Simple concepts we have to explain like you're a child

A40:
Giannis is the rightful MVP, LeNomad is obviously a contender. I don't know who has argued otherwise. You're hallucinating now

A40:
I think you are running mad at this point. Who has argued that he is not an MVP contender? Your questions are getting dumber by the second. No offense

A40:
Stop asking me stupid question like you have been doing all day and all night. Ask your fellow Lakers fans and players alike. Ask pundits that have him and Giannis as primary contenders and stop asking me silly questions

Same way Steph and KD couldn't win MVP is the same way AD and Bron shouldn't because they more or less cancel each other out, a lot more than Dwight, Javale do to AD defensively as you can see there is little or no drop in his numbers apart from rebounds

A40:
In a team with Dwight, McGee and LeNomad you want him to average the exact same numbers he was averaging in New Orleans?? Are you sure your agbari is functioning at all?

Did KD and Steph's numbers remain the same or dropped when they ended up in the same team?

A40:
Shut up my friend. This is Anthony Davis's best defensive season and the first time he's openly been touted as a DPOY. This was not the case in NO

Unless you can show where I or anyone else predicted LeNomad and Davis will not deliver and be contenders you are making absolute noise.

They have complimented each other and it was automatic the minute LeNomad and AD formed a team that the Lakers were going to be a contender. Bron doesn't have to go full throttle every night because AD can share the load and vice versa.

I can credit Davis for the success of the Lakers and also opine that he underperformed in New Orleans. Both are not mutually exclusive

benji93:
You are a lost cause, man.

A40:
Was he a surefire DPOY candidate like now? He was always a good defender but never consistently dominated like he should have considering his size. Can only point to two seasons of elite defense. One of the reasons the Pelicans always struggled was because they couldn't stop anybody. A guy like AD was supposed to set the tone, he didn't always do so

What is even your argument? What was supposed to be the record of a team with Anthony Davis and LeBron? If Chris Paul and Harden could win 65+ games their first season then I don't know why you're gleefully celebrating what is par for the course.

Put AD with Harden, Steph Curry the outcome will be similar so I don't get your argument

benji93:
Stop being unnecessarily strong-headed. Nobody is praising AD, as you know yourself, he's done this before. We are only punching holes in your Lebron for MVP campaign. If you didn't get this then i am very sorry for you. At least that was my point, unless @A40 thinks differently.

A40:
Stop asking me jejune questions. A player of AD's caliber should have led the Pelicans to more playoff appearances. That one is sacrosanct

I'm praising him for the Lakers because every single metric points to him being equally responsible for their success. He has sufficient help in another top 5 player in the league(some say he's the best)

Is Giannis playing with anyone as good as AD or Bron?

Again I'm asking you. Where is the contradiction? Abi what did you think you proved by quoting my posts

A40:
What was the disrespect? That he failed to lead New Orleans? Did we lie?

That Giannis is comparable to him. Is that disrespect?

Because he has the luxury of playing with LeNomad we no go hear word?

A40:
Are you serious at all? How does this quote not highlight what my opinion about AD has always been? And the fact that I expected him to do better at New Orleans. If I didn't rate him highly why foist such expectations on his shoulder?

Where is the contradiction?
