It won't be until years after he retires that people are finally like, "Oh shit, we got to see on of the top two or three players in history, in his prime, right before our eyes."

NaBarney Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Yeah, he's crazy good. Like Skiles said it's easy to take him for granted just because of how much he plays and how consistent he is. Sometimes it's obnoxious when he gets desperate and works the refs so he can shoot 15 free throws like in the last 2 games of that Pacers series, even though he already gets every 50/50 call and them some in his favor. And he's a pretty cancerous teammate in the sense that every team he's on has this weird half-life because it has to be the LeBron show at the expense of the next best players on the team, like he doesn't exactly make good players great as much as he makes mediocre players good and good players worse. Meanwhile he's in GM mode fully involved in all the major roster decisions. And that can only work for a few years before it breaks. But individually he's a monster. I'd still put Tim Duncan above him tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the thing with LeBron is that all he needs to win are pretty good players around him that are contributing even a little bit. He doesn't necessarily need a second superstar, just a cast of okay guys that aren't asleep on the court every game, and he can win. He did it a couple years ago, and the fact that the Cavs are doing what they've done this year with that team is a testament to that. Look at that roster, and realize that by and large, the Cavaliers are still the favorite to come out of the East. That's bananas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol yeah, take Kyle Korver off that team and it completely falls apart. Making the Finals this year would be a genuine feat, unlike a lot of years when it's basically by default bc LeBron is so good and the east stays so bad. I'm still hoping Philly can do it though, if they can even get past this random Boston team Edited May 5, 2018 by Nabloom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he probably won't get to six because the competition is so much better these days than it was during the 90s when you could still be one of the best players and juggle that with alcoholism and a coke problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually agree with you, though not completely......But I do concur that a bunch of these current superstars are only doing so well because they can draw fouls just by looking at the refs now.....The entire game has changed which is I stopped being a fan like I was in highschool. Someone at the barber shop was telling me about Labron in the clutch and his numbers......Well, Jordan never had thoseopportunities because his team was full of gods.....

RainyDayJizz#35 Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 I'm not a basketball guy, but I've heard basketball people talk about this era vs. Jordan's era and they all hate how everyone is best friends now. They loved that the original Dream Team set up "fuck Jordan" rules to make him look like shit. Fuck winning, I have to embarrass that guy because he might be as good as me. That is competition worth watching. I'm an outsider, but the only basketball play I remember seeing was a Jordan one. He's out past the half court and calls for the ball from way behind him, one defender in front. Ball is high, Jordan jumps, shifts his weight in midair, bounces the ball behind his back and takes off in a different direction than the one he fell in. Probably a 50 degree change in lateral direction immediately after hitting the ground. Defender is long gone and Jordan makes an appropriate dunk to show off the burn he made. I saw that and knew why I knew the guy's name. And if I ever hear people compare Tom Brady to Joe Montana I'm going to lose my fucking mind.

I thought you were calling MJ's supporting cast "Gods". They weren't. Jerry Krause was in such a freakin' hurry to get himself out of MJ's shadow & "prove" he was the reason the Bulls were sooo good. Did "No Tippin' Pippin" carry the team after MJ left? Nope. Did Kukoc? Nope. The remaining players were good, but no "Gods". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
