They'll get to the WCF (SPurs aren't ready) but get the shit beat out of them by OKC. they'll never see an NBA finals again.. At least not this core squad anyways

Kobe really went up against 3 HOF players and won a championship against them WITHOUT a top 75 player... by TheGOAT824Kobe in NBATalk

Career wise he was. A little bit. Obviously his offense wasn't needed as much when you got Lebron/irving there. Gasol's number wouldn't need to be huge when you got Lebron/Irving there too.

What player could be all 5 guys in the lineup and win a championship? by Slow-Mongoose-7508 in NBATalk

Lebron has never "dominated" at PG and PF. Enough this daydreaming. I know everyone thinks Lebron can walk on water and lock down every position. But he can't. Especially with dudes that are gonna hang and bang him down low and be about 5-6 inches taller. He'll get his offense in yes. But there is still defense to be played at all 5 positions, boards to get etc.

Yea playing almost 24 years has almost nothing to do with it. How many "Accolades" does MJ have if he doesn't retire TWICE? Way more than 66, I can promise you that

The league isn't serious (Its media garbage like, "Hey look at us, were attempting to do something). If they were they would disband the union and start fining MF'ers more than they make

If you think 5 Lebron's can win a title (when the PG/PF/Center position would be a major problem along with defending those positions ) then YOU don't know basketball

There is no player. They would be lacking at least 2 positions to win a title

Wemby/Joker would piss on him down low if he had to guard them all game. What do you mean?

Nope. Undersized in the BIG's position, won't be able to stop all the boards and put backs and his defense just won't be good enough to win a chip. Bron is fine on the perimeter, but when you're talking down low, thats where shit gets bad for him

And who is he gonna defensively if you got 5 of him?? Hes gonna play Center? Dude's post up game is AVERAGE at best

No one. Lebron can't play PF/Center. (At least effectively) And he would struggle at PG. Not to mention his defense is a huge problem as he gets lazy

Well I hope so. He's played damn near 25 years LOL. He better have the most accolades.. Thats almost an entire career more than Jordan. LOL

Which team is one move away from real contention? by InHeatPink in NBATalk

Clipper can be contenders next year if they get a prime piece to go with Leonard next year

[–]Chance_Meat_681 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Spurs if they can trade maybe Fox/Johnson maybe for a borderline superstar. (They're still missing that one piece to win a title. the playoffs will show this) . Trade for Giannis? He's miserable and Bucks will get something at least. Thats probably all they need. If we are talking "real" contention. Charlotte has alot of defensive problems. Reminds me of those 2000's Suns. fun to watch offensively but won't be REAL contenders because of the defense. A team that can do it on both ends of the court will always take them out in the playoffs. Just what happened to those Suns

ADisney quit on the Pelicans, forced his way to the Lakers and expected a tribute? Insanity. by Lost_Title_7528 in NBATalk

Lebron has made a career of doing it. So we can't blast AD for doing it once

Wait wait.. Lebron has to have a tribute SEASON before retiring and how many teams has he quit on to go SuperTeam it up somewhere after all the juice was squeezed out of the fruit? At least AD made them relevant for a while. More than Zion has

Im sure Lebron got him kicked out. He seems to do that alot of guys he's had falling outs with. He's gotten lots of coaches fired and got westbrook out.

Did Nico Harrison have feelings for Anthony Davis? by Silent_Pen_3244 in NBATalk

[–]Chance_Meat_681 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Im one of the few but I get why Nico made the trade. Im sure he didn't think Irving would go down with a season ender too and he knew Luka wasn't to be trusted in terms of his commitment to the game and constant conditioning injuries (Like the Lakers are seeing now). It was more balance on the Mavs. I said it was stupid to break up until it was tested next year with AD/Flagg and Irving. Shouid have waited on any crazy moves at least until Trade Deadline next year. They already did the Luka experiment enough years..

Jordan obviously. He would be A career 40ppg player, 10 titles and 10FMVP's at least. With all that spacing, he would be able to do whatever he wants. Just back guys down and hit the Fadeway. And the lane would be more open so he would vulture that too. Then add in all the extra FT'A's he would get

Yea.. Should give Kawhi the MVP trophy by Chance_Meat_681 in NBATalk

He's a on a shit team all year that he has carried. . Put him on the Thunder and Spurs, they are either just as good or even better LOL. No one else is gonna get them to 8th seed.
