After the 2008 Olympics:

• A slightly better (than 08) season for CP3
• LeBron’s breakout year and first MVP
• Rejuvenation for D-Wade
• 4th championship & historic season for Kobe
The momentum & knowledge these players took with them. Greatness

A lot of people are clowning on him recently with Clippers success, but does that take away the merit of what he said regarding events spanning ~5 years or so?
Mavericks TV analyst Brian Dameris was not on the broadcast for last night's Clippers vs. Mavericks game
James Harden and the Clippers extended their winning streak to 9 games after defeating Dallas last night 😅

Being able to anchor a 103 team defense (albeit a small sample) while stifling two stellar offenses, shoot 87% at the basket, and objectively be the most impactful player thusfar is the exact opposite of a team problem. When things aren’t clicking, the fake narratives comes out.
"I came on the air and talked about how Anthony Davis was a top-seven player. I take it back. Damn it, he don't look like it. ... What has happened to Anthony Davis?"

Over an 82 game regular season, it's very much so Giannis and Jokic - then the rest of the league. Age is a factor compared to players north of 30, but they simply make high quality basketball and dominating look like second nature.

How much of a needle mover were these HOF vets though:
• 2022 and on Westbrook
• 2018 Rose
• 2019 and on Rondo
• 2022 Anthony
• 2010 O’Neal
• 2020 and on Howard
For an “eye test” person, production and player impact likely would out-class name value, would it not?
LeBron played with All-NBA guys in Wade, Davis, Bosh, Love, Kyrie in their prime and brought in HOF vets in Westbrook, Rose, Shaq, Melo, Dwight, Rondo as they exit the sport. Recruited Kawhi, PG, DeMar and Kyrie again.
Top 3 ever, but his formula very diff from Kobe, Tim, MJ 🤷🏽♂️

I don’t buy the Suns contender hype (could easily change my view seeing it play out). It’s way too reactionary,
they are solid on paper but it’s a depth and wings’ league. Not the greatest wing depth or defense now, and their three stars don’t pressure the rim.

Boils down to three macro things. (1) Denver out-resulting the process LA gave them, a sign of a sure-fire contender. (2) Exploiting whatever holes they, and all of us for that matter, saw. (3) Putting together 5-10 minute spurts each game of vastly better play on both sides.

This is the nonsense that modern day NBA media coverage has resorted to. With speculation and little substance or evidence, trying to stir up the drama/circus affiliated with free agency and the trade deadline.
"LeBron James is sending a message to one Anthony Davis. ... Dallas' objective this summer is Kyrie for AD sign-and-trade. If AD doesn't ball in these last 23 games, the Lakers might look at something like that."
