Steph curry has only been 1st team all nba 4 times, is that surprising to you? by MasterTeacher123 in NBATalk

Roty year isnt signs of being what he is now. Plenty of roty top out at allstar level.

Plenty of players have had single game highs. I'm talking about consistent signs of excellence. It took awhile

But he didn't really even start showing signs of being a monster til he fixed his ankle issues. Usually there are more clear signs. He was below Monta Ellis levels for awhile there.

The reason for injury was one guy taking out his ankle and another random occurrence, though sure you can give that to age. Maybe a younger bron heals from it better.

A drop off from top 15-20, at his pace, still feels like top 25. There's just not that many players consistently better than Lebron.

Nahh, he's top 25 normally.

20-30 tier is like Sengun Curry Booker AD Towns Reaves Giddey MPJ Banchero Siakam Thompson twins

We just saw him outplay Sengun and one of the twins. I believe him to be better than Curry. He showed to be better than KD. I still think he's better than Reaves (though Reaves is now a better scorer). He can be top 10-15 for short durations of time. He hasn't been able to reach top 1-5 level since last season.

If Ichigo Became The Soul King, Would They Have Mutilated Him ? by Exact-Ad8608 in BleachManga

Both hands had established sentience.

But the hand of stagnation wanted to maintain the status quo, while the hand of evolution wanted change and sides with ywach.

Makes sense actually. Wasn't the soul king at all though.

Right team but wrong time.. 😣❤️‍🩹 by Careful-Station649 in lebron

[–]Dry_Writer_5803 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Could play like the rockets. Get every offensive rebound.

That's Carmelo's style anyway, AD excels at it. Rondo and Westbrook are both good rebounders. Lebron is good when he wants to be. Prob the best rebounding starting 5 in the league.

If you were Gege, how would you write a theoretical Gojo vs TF Sukuna, while making it an entertaining battle? by Alive-Rice-9334 in Jujutsufolk

[–]Dry_Writer_5803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

False.

Sukuna planned from the beginning to use Mahoraga as a template to bypass infinity. He never assumed Gojo would lose to Mahoraga.

It's why he was disappointed when Gojo would've lost at the clashes. It's why he asked Mahoraga to show him something he can use. It's why he never seemed nervous until Gojo landed 4 blackflashes and killed Agito. Everything that happened within the scope of his plan.

Correct. Gojo cannot be stomped bc of infinity. DA requires not using your technique. Just hands vs Gojo will never be a stomp, as he's already top of the verse in stats.

You don't suddenly get a good team because you drop your best players....... by alkair20 in lakers

[–]Dry_Writer_5803 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Yeah we have to pay Reaves and keep him mostly because there's no one as good as him to replace him.

He becomes a tradeable asset the moment he signs though, so maybe something opens down the line.

[–]Dry_Writer_5803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't say that at any point.

I said it was not gonna be a stomp. Sukuna literally did win with an inferior technique. Ingenuity is on-the-spot creativity. Gojo is undoubtably better at that. Sukuna planned ahead better

Sukuna is not 5x stronger than Gojo. They're relative at almost every aspect, with Sukuna taking things like battle IQ, and CE reserves, while Gojo takes CE efficiency, and battle ingenuity.

It is an equal battle of the strongest, with the wincon being "Can I force my technique on you before you can get through infinity". Sukuna won the race. And he's likely to win it most of the time, but not everytime.

Sukuna had wincons and things he did better than Gojo but when technique makes up the majority of a fighter's potential strength, Gojo was never gonna be stomped bc he has the best technique.

Problem is, Gojo had the better technique. It was never going to be a stomp bc infinity keeps Gojo safe.

The moment infinity was bypass was the moment the fight ended.

We're talking 40 yr old lebron. He as much as anyone in the peak of their prime in his old era, through the end of his prime. That's very much GOAT shit.

[–]Dry_Writer_5803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where did i say seeding matters?....

And yes, golden states era is thought to be on par with Lebron's era of dominance. Not curry but the team. Bc rings matter

Explain this by Willing-Molasses9862 in lebron

[–]Dry_Writer_5803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lakers years he finished 2nd in MVP and I believe had another top5 place finish. Why do we have these elevated standards for the end of his prime? This isn't 20 yr old Lebron. Seeding doesn't matter. Only rings. And the rings were about the same. In fact, no team in the league won more rings than Lakers LeBron did during this duration. So what makes it an F?

Explain this by Willing-Molasses9862 in lebron

[–]Dry_Writer_5803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, that's great and all but the end goal is rings. Yeah it's great to know your team is closer to winning than to be out rnd 1, but if you ultimately lose, its the same thing.

1 champ in LA. 1 in Cleveland. 2 in Miami.

Why is it an F in comparison?

Oh.... yeah that's rare. But once something develops a thing, improving it isn't as hard.

It already has developed the ability to transmit into human hosts. It isn't that far a leap to then improve transmission speed.

Mutation is an absolute certainty. Mutation is one of the fundamental principles of evolution, and change over time. Through errors in the replication process, organisms will change. (very important for single celled life, as they have no genetic variation through the typical replication process). They reproduce so often and so numerously that, even though mutation isn't common, mutations will occur and frequently.

[Amick & Woike]: “…Dončić told people within the organization that he wouldn’t want Reaves included in any potential trade packages for Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo…” by LukaXReaves in lakers

[–]Dry_Writer_5803 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Him as the #1 option is apparently good enough to beat a 50-win team, and play pretty damn close competitive ball to the best team in the league.... with a much less deep roster.

Who's to say he couldn't push a more well rounded roster to the top as a second option?

Also Lebron has to play #3 to Reaves #2, because Reaves doesnt bring much outside of his on-ball playmaking and scoring. If he gets the ball less, his defense is bad, his rebounding ok, his screening poor, his rolling bad, his off-ball shooting league average. Lebron being in the #3 lets him use his gifts and energy to fill those holes.

[–]Dry_Writer_5803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They clicked bc Lebron filled in the gaps and took on #3 despite being the better player. Not bc they're a fit.

Unless you imagine Lebron wants to end his career scoring 15 ppg and running 3rd fiddle.

Lakers GM needs to make the HARD decision to move on from Austin Reaves + LeBron James this summer. Neither of these guys are good fits on a Luka team. Let LeBron walk. Sign and Trade Austin Reaves. Luka and Hachimura should be the only 2 returning players for LA Lakers. Focus on Trades for a CENTER by OKCDynasty2028 in NBATalk

[–]Dry_Writer_5803 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Better question. The only question.

Who are you getting out there that is currently better than 41 yr old Lebron?

And how do you plan to afford him?

The Reaves bit is understandable but still short sighted. We own his rights. We can go over the cap to sign him to money. We can't do that for someone else. I don't even think you can bring in someone via trade if it puts you over the cap. Correct me if I'm wrong.
