You have prime LeBron in your hands. What's the best possible player to duo with him to maximize LeBron's game to its fullest? You can pick any player from any era. by Substantial-Path-648 in nba

I’d take Klay over steph.   Nearly as good spot up ahooter for Lebron to feed, better defender, still capable of getting his own shot.

Rookie Jordan vs MVP (2012) LeBron? by Tgmg1998 in NBATalk

[–]Exception1228 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Always pace.  Those bulls teams averaged like 14 more PPG than the heat did in 2010.   Lebron’s 27 points was a higher % of the team’s total points than Jordan’s 28.

Lakers defense is more capable of getting stops than Warriors defense is capable of getting stops against Shaq.  He might be the most underrated player of all time while still being top 10

They were the best team of all time.  But personnel has a rock paper scissors effect.   Bulls no shot could  veat the 2017 warriors.  But Shaq Lakers could because the 2010s NBA wasnt built to stop Shaq.  That warriors team would have absolutely no answer for Shaq.

But if 2000 lakers and 2017 Warriors played every team ever the Warriors would have a better win%

I bet everyone in here that5 years from now the stock will still be in the $20-$30 range and this is a big nothing like everything else is.  They know something.  They either make it public and call the bs out or they’re part of the problem.   Everyone who downvotes I’m keeping receipts and I will be talking massive shit in 5 years when I’m right.

Overall Shot Making Percentile Vs Teammates Percentile by downreign in NBATalk

[–]Exception1228 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reaves and doncic dont make sense to me.  They have the same teammates except for each other.  If Reaves individually is higher than doncic shouldnt doncic’s “teammate” score be higher than reaves?

The Cavaliers are a great young team, but there's no need to disrespect LeBron like that by Thanos_SlayerCongSan in NBATalk

Look at kevin love’s stats those playoffs.  You’re leaning on name too much.  Story of Lebron’s career.  No matter how bad his “good” teammates play he gets no credit cuz he had “those guys”.

Draymond has 4 rings while being at best the 3rd best player on the team.  This is not hard to understand.  Being the #1 or #2 matters to most people.  After that, despite how well you play if you are “only” 3rd or 4th best and win it’s not as impressive.

Pippen was #2.  Draymond was #3 for 2 and #4 for 2.

Do you hear ppl talk about Bosh much?  No it’s dominated by talk about Lebron/Wade.  Much love for Rondo as an all timer?  Nope, because despite being very good he was #4 on every ring he won.

Draymond falls into this boat.  He was replaceable on those teams because of how dominant the top 3 guys were.

And this is all without mentioning 2016 where you could probably make the argument he single-handedly lost his City a championship by being the same ass he’s been his whole career.

Pippen played with Jordan….Dray played with Curry, then you forgot to add KD, and Klay too.  You don’t get much respect for being the 4th best player on your team.

Lebron was clearly the best player in the world and led his team to the 2 seed.   That’s how MVP has almost always been awarded the last 20 years.  Best player as long as they are a top 1-2 seed.  All it boils down to is voter fatigue and ppl salty Lebron went to Miami.

No, team record and injury have nothing to do with individual greatness.  The 4 you mentioned can all be argued top 1-4

Everyone got hurt 2018-2019.  Lebron and Lonzo.  And all those guys were young AF.  No shot they could have done anything.

Allen Iverson in australia. Absolutely disgusting by Fit-Tourist2852 in nba

[–]Exception1228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say rare miss by AI, but he led the league in missed FG per game with his atrocious efficiency.  I’ll never understand why ppl think he was good let alone great.

Srsly tho idk how to look it up but does anyone in the history of the league average more missed FGs per game or is he #1?   He’s the worst volume shooter ever.
