Bron's fans want us to believe that what he's doing at 38 is so incredible. Tim Duncan actually played the entire regular season (77 games) and kicked LeBron's ass in the 2014 Finals...at 38 years old.
And Kareem played 78 and 80 games at 38 and 39 and won back-to-back titles.
Nobody EVER talked about Finals appearances until LeBron started going to them and losing more than he won. You rarely ever hear "Magic went to nine Finals." Finals appearances became the standard for LeBron fans when they knew he wasn't going to catch MJ.
"Scottie Pippen led the Bulls to 55 wins when MJ retired."
NO
Pippen inherited a 3 time championship core that added Toni Kukoc and Steve Kerr and couldn't get out of the 2nd round, and a year and a half after MJ was gone Pippen's Bulls were barely above .500.
That's better..
This is the new standard for LeBron fans. It's not Finals wins. It's Finals appearances. It's longevity stats that don't equate to team success. It's not getting into the playoffs. It's "we got to above .500 and made it to the play-in. That's the standard for him! SMH...
@BostonCelts4eva
The Celtics have officially made this series about Draymond Green. That's great. That way they don't have to focus on the 18 turnovers in game 2 and the fact that they've been outscored 73-38 in the last two 3rd quarters. Blame the refs! Classic runner-up mentality🤣

Klay will be known as one half of The Splash Brothers. That's plural...as in two...as in arguably the best shooting backcourt in NBA history.

Cardi B, a rapper, did an interview with the former VP and current Dem nominee Biden. Owens, a supposed Black voice for the Republican party, couldn't get an invite to the RNC and instead did an interview with Ben Shapiro.
@KPM0611
By age 29 MJ had just won his THIRD straight title, his THIRD straight Finals MVP, had never melted down and lost in a Finals, and had already won league MVP, DPOY, and the scoring title in the same season (1988.)
Levels Bruh! 😂
Strange how Mike Brown gets credit for the job he's done in Sacramento, but gets no credit for coaching that 2007 Cavaliers team to the Finals!
Could it be because LeBron gets all the credit when his team wins, but his coach and teammates get all the blame when his team loses?
@shendy456
Neither was a role player. The difference is Bosh was a number 1 option that LeBron reduced to a number 3. Pippen began his career as a rookie role player who MJ helped elevate to a great number 2.
In the most crucial moment of his career, the 🐐 made a bucket, then a steal, then in front of the enemy crowed, while more people than have ever viewed an NBA game (til this day) on TV watched in awe..
@SportsCenter
The Warriors organization is first class. We didn't think much of Steph, Klay, or Draymond when they were drafted. Now it's Poole, Kuminga, and Moody when many were suggesting they trade those picks for a star. This is what drafting and developing players looks like.
I find it strange that Chael Sonnen recently accused LeBron of using peds and Cowherd has used segments of his last two shows to trash MJ. Feels like a Klutch Sports payoff to deflect attention elsewhere. Just sayin...

Playing the PF position would mean he was playing down low and most often the last line of defense. I don't know where you're going with that one.

You are right. This isn't tough. I can't speak for today because its been two full seasons. But if you are arguing that Kaepernick wasn't good enough to START at the time he was blackballed you simply lack football knowledge.

I think she's 31 today. That would make her 23/24 eight years ago. Maybe you can find another reason to excuse this shitty behavior.
In 2005-06 everyone recognized that the Heat were Wade's team and Shaq was no longer prime dominant Shaq. Even Shaq acknowledged that. Steph is still the best player on his team. LeBron is not. Why are so many calling this LeBron vs Curry when in reality it's Curry vs AD?

1. That is an awful trade for the Warriors. Just awful.
2. Wiggins cannot be included in the trade as long as Simmons is on the Nets roster. Both are on designated rookie extensions.

1. A well known MMA athlete publicly called out LeBron.
2. There are legal ways that an athlete can improve his body without PEDs.
3. LeBron is not the first athlete to be questioned about getting better while getting older.

Madonna "paved the road" for Whitney??? Whitney was Dionne Warwick' cousin and the niece of Cissy Houston. Their careers started at about the same time and their music styles were totally different. WTF are you talking about? Madonna didn't pave sh$t for Whitney Houston.
87-88 Scottie Pippen
Games Started: ZERO

MPG: 20.9
PPG: 7.9
93-94 Pete Myers

Let's give Pete Myers a lot more credit for helping Pippen win 55 games and a playoff series.

I don't think they're better. But I don't think they ever needed KD to win titles. They just needed a slight upgrade at the small forward position. They could have beaten CLE and Toronto with Wiggins.

Do you understand how our legal system works. The legal system says there is a presumption of innocence until proven guilty. He does have to say anything to prove his innocence. This is elementary shyt here Bro.

@AmeshiaCross
I don't feel that way because I don't get my news from a radio entertainment personality. The biggest problem is people in general don't understand the basics of how our government works.
Crockett: President Biden has tried to give our border agents 100 new cutting edge inspection devices and add 1000 additional law enforcement personnel. Republicans obstructed that request. Honestly, I can't tell if y'all are for anything other than obstruction and cruelty.
LeBron James’ agent Rich Paul on the GOAT debate:
“You see these guys on TV every day talking about rings. Well if it’s about the rings then it’s Bill Russell… LeBron has been in the finals for half of his career.”

Baker was drafted by a team that was 1-31 in the last 32 games. He lost his HC and OC in the middle of the season. People don't say Darnold is better than Baker out of fear of blowback. They don't say it because it isn't true, never has been, and will never be.
@EL_Mojado_956
@clarencehilljr
No. He did not get benched at the end of his career. He STARTED the final 11 games for the 49ers in 2016. I don't know if he could play today. But I wish people like you would get simple basic facts correct. A simple Google search would tell you that you are WRONG!
@Alaguerre21
@BostonCelts4eva
Loser mentality 🤣 Turn the ball over 18 times and go from a 2 point halftime deficit to a 23 point deficit after the 3rd quarter and talk about the officiating.
@jdyarg34
Pippen didn't leave MJ a championship level team. MJ was drafted to a 27 win team and had to train Pippen into becoming a solid number 2.
Causation doesn't equal correlation. MJ never won a title without wearing the number 23 or without having a shaved head either.
✌️
@chriswtremo
@stewartdantec
You're partially right. The fade originated in the military, but it wasn't made popular there. It wasn't made popular until Black men started wearing it outside of the military in the 40s.
For the "MJ benefited from the expansion era" crowd:
The Orlando Magic had the EXACT SAME RECORD last season (20-62) as they did in their first year of existence.
and
How are current Rockets, Spurs, and Pistons any better than any expansion team in the late 80s/early 90s? 🤔

Eddie guards LeBron's reputation better then he ever guarded an opponent during his playing days. Wouldn't be a bit surprised if he gets a W-2 from Klutch Sports.
@Shane00
@JakTaitum
Simply making it to the Finals just means you won your conference?
He's only made the Finals one time in 5 seasons in the West. And that was a season with a 4 month break in it.
We can all see what's happening here. LeBron is literally the fourth or fifth most important player on that team. But we're gonna have Bronaholics out here using any postseason success the Lakers have to bolster their goat debate.
Just watch and see!

@Canelo
This "version" of Canelo looks great because this version fights less skilled fighters. Every time Canelo fights someone at or near his skill level he either gets pasted (Mayweather) or he is gifted a controversial decision (Ward, Lara, GGG twice.)
Ward via UD 116-112
@kingsrush
We have a name for that. It's called the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marines. Feel free to speak to your local recruiter. I'm sure they'd love to give you a shot.
@clarencehilljr
You pay your QB 40 mil to take his team down the field and score when he has 2:37 left and 3 timeouts; not cry about not being given one extra second to throw a Hail Mary after a terrible QB draw call with no timeouts. Just saying...
@TheLatinSnake_
That's because AT&T stadium is bigger than SoFi stadium AND tickets to a Canelo fight are a helluva lot cheaper than a ticket to the Super Bowl. You been hit in the head too many times if you couldn't figure that out.
Prior to the Bivol fight
Canelo fans thought he would have beaten a prime Roy Jones, could beat Beterbiev, and even compete at 201 lbs with Usyk. He loses to Bivol and and now they want to give him a participation trophy for moving up and "having the courage" to fight Bivol. 🤣
@shendy456
There were a total of 120 All NBA selections between the 2010-11 and 2017-18 seasons. Of that total, players who were not LeBron's teammates in MIA or CLE:
97 Western Conference
23 Eastern Conference
This is concrete proof that LeBron's Eastern Conference run was GARBAGE!
@kingsrush
This soldier should have been given automatic citizenship the minute he returned from duty. Praying that the Governor will do right by him, his family, and other soldiers in his position.
Mike Brown averaged 54 wins per season during his 5 year stretch with CLE with a Finals appearance in his SECOND season with back-to-back 60 plus win seasons in 2008-09 and 2009-10.
But it's ALWAYS been about LeBron "carrying" that roster instead of Brown coaching that roster.

All these people want to talk ish about an organization that's been in 9 SBs and won 6 titles in 20 years. Who's y'alls team? Mine is the Cowboys and we haven't made the title game in our own conference in 24 years. Talk about some sore winners led by Rob Parker!
