yeet 324 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I think this is the last year he's a first rounder. Father time is finally catching up to him, and with AD he won't have to carry as much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, that makes it even worse (being against the Warriors). I could understand if it was a back to back, but like I said a little bit ago, he had a day off yesterday.

Padilla814 237 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I had a feeling he would rest today.. Warriors are definitely in LeBron’s head. I don’t mind the day off for him. LeBron will be back on his normal schedule next week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think he has very little keeper value and if you can trade him for any first round player under 30 you should be grateful you parlayed his name recognition into value. Hell, if you can get a 2 or 3rd rounder you should do it. Or if you need to throw in a midround player plus Lebron to get a 1st or 2nd round player under 30 I would also do that.

I like him more off the court than on the court due to his political activism, charity, etc. As a Kobe fan, he was my nemesis lol. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah his charity work, fatherhood and being a perfect role model whilst under the biggest spotlight ever off the court is just so annoying. What he's saying is pure truth. MJs ego is bigger so much so that the NBA buried the 1995 eastern conference finals he lost against shaq and penny. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
XxxOilOverloadxxX 1,958 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Lebron had a 2.8 GPA in high school that was highly inflated because of his all world athlete status. Dude is barely literate, so why anyone would take anything he has to say seriously is beyond me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mbroo5880i 915 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 While I agree that he has a big ego, he can be whiny with officials and can be irritating, I don't agree with criticisms of his intelligence, his desire to win or his ranking as one of the historic greats in the NBA. We just see and hear more in today's social media age. There were plenty of prima donnas in prior generations. Similar to Kobe, who was also criticized, we should just enjoy watching him play. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The difference is, they still let the game do the talking for them. Jordan and Kobe were so confident in their abilities and will to win that they simply didn't give a s--- about anyone or anything else. For a basketball fan, it's actually an appealing quality. Maybe not in a real world sense but it's great in basketball and fans enjoy it. Lebron is different. He constantly has to talk about his greatness. Lebron isn't really an a-hole. It's been said a million times I rather be friends with Lebron but i rather play with Kobe or Jordan. I wouldn't hang out with either of them off the court but on the court? They got the best out of their teammates with their intensity to a level Lebron can only dream of reaching. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Where is your source of players saying they would rather play with kobe and mj rather than lebron? Lebron makes teammates better and has average more assist than MJ or Kobe. Tell me again how players would rather play with a ball hog like Kobe and how he got the best of them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Too bad there is more to assists than just the numbers. Perhaps you should read up on how the Triangle doesn't amount to a lot of assists? Also how old are you as you are still calling kobe a ball hog. Keep hating. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Number of assists is not the only measure if player makes teammates better. If that is true, than Rondo, Wall, Jason Kidd and many others are (were) better than LeBron in making teammates better. If social media was present during MJ or Kobe career it might have been different, but I don't remember either of them talking about how great they are. Btw, last game Kobe played was an awesome talk about how great he is. The game did all the talking 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
