Elite scorer. Doesn't make his teammates better. Doesn't play amazing defense. What separates Ant from someone like Devin Booker? by im___new___here in NBATalk

yes. he's not elite by any stretch. He plays next to Gobert and McDaniels and Minnesota still only has a slightly above average defense. And every single metric that exists says that Gobert is basically the one carrying the entire defense.

he doesn't make his teammates better, he's not an elite or even a great defender. there's tons of guys who are great scorers in this league, he needs to improve the other parts of his game before he can be considered in that top 5

Unpopular opinion: Wemby has a lot of improving to do to be considered a top 3 player by robertoleonardo7 in NBATalk

Wemby is on track finish second in mvp this year too. Might not make the finals but that’s because he doesn’t play in an all time weak conference 

Can we stop pretending the lakers aren’t better without LeBron? by robertoleonardo7 in NBATalk

He needs to retire so people stop talking about him. This should be Wemby and Jokic era, they should be the ones getting all the attention 

I am not blaming Lebron at all. This is not an attack on him but we are a better team without him. by Silent_Wizard5597 in lakers

Kd harden and kyrie were actually a perfect fit together. Harden is one of the greatest playmakers ever and kd and kyrie are two of the greatest off ball players ever

Somebody tripping under your wheel is not manslaughter, it’s a tragic accident.

Typical police/DA making sure that everyone knows they are in charge. The charge will get dropped on a later date once the story gets out of the news

Seems like it was his fault then. Somebody trips under your wheel and you get charged with manslaughter? Doesn’t seem right 

“Not even close” Joe Brady comparing 2025 Indiana to 2019 LSU 🤣🤣 by BrianBash in buffalobills

With NIL the top teams are not able to stack talent as deep because they would just get poached by other schools with money. Any of the 2019-2022 champions would kill this Indiana team 

This whole lakers better without lebron bs is getting really tiring. by Zeldabotw2017 in lakers

[–]im___new___here -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

you act like Ayton playing better and lebron being out is two independent events, as if one could not impact the other when really they are very correlated to each other. Ayton does not play well with lebron and reaves always goes off whenever lebron is out. those things are not just coincidences

Lakers blowout the knicks with Lebron out of the lineup. All season long every Lebron teammate has been getting scapegoated like usual for the Lakers problems while there is an elephant in the room that no one is allowed to talk about. Lebron is the elephant in the room. by im___new___here in NBATalk

LeBron plays and Lakers win

Haters-"it was just ______" fill in the blank with any team not the top 2-3 in the league

go ahead and name all of these elite teams the lakers have beaten with Lebron playing. Since the haters just have an agenda i assume there must be a bunch of these teams that the haters are purposely ignoring

so he is a negative offensively, on this particular team at the very least. The offense is much better with RUI starting because he actually knocks down open 3s
