Give him a minute, my man was just hoisting 2 new trophies a few months ago.
Back in the day, nobody said the Bulls had an unfair advantage. Jordan was just better. Gary Payton and Kemp never said “it’s unfair, the Bulls went 72-10 ”. Drexler never said “I can’t beat Jordan, Pippen and Horace Grant at the same time ” No...that was never the narrative. Jordan was just better and the others couldn’t see him but with LeBron, the narrative is never him not being good enough to overcome, it’s always the other team is so good, it’s unfair to him That’s why nikkas don’t like him sometimes. The talent level between Golden State and Cleveland in 2017 was not that vast. It was actually somewhat even. You had the two best small forwards in basketball in Bron and KD. You had the best point guard in the league vs. at worst, the third best point guard in the league. Very competitive matchup. And you had an all star shooting guard who averaged 19ppg that year as a third option vs. an all star power forward who averaged 18ppg that year as a third option. What’s unfair here? Nikkas back then were trying to act like Draymond was the X factor that made it unfair and now we all see how garbage he is. Cleveland had the talent. They lost because A) they didn’t utilize Kevin Love. They froze him out and made it a two person team instead of getting everybody involved and B) LeBron didn’t do sh*t to slow Durant down. In 2016, it was just Steph and Klay as the main scoring options vs. Bron, Kyrie and Love so Bron had it easy. He was the only 6”9 monster on the court. He was playing free safety out there. When GS evened the playing field next year Bron wasnt trying to have to score 30 points a game + having to guard the 6”11 version of himself on the other end. That’s it. End of story. That’s why I see the Nets winning as AD and Bron arent doing sh*t to slow KD down and having Harden and Kyrie there too will overwhelm them.
Kinda like how Bron was putting up stats but it was Kobe who was winning championships but the narrative was Lebrons stats > rings
Now it’s Lebrons rings > stats
if we keeping it 100... Giannis had a better year last year than Lebrons ever had. nikka put up them numbers while playing like 30 minutes.
Anyway KD >
LeBron James has been overrated since his debut. LOL@true props.LBJ didn’t start getting his true props until his Cleveland title over the 73 win Warriors if we’re keeping it a buck
KD gotta win one of those type of rings to snatch it from Bron. One where he’s not the clear cut favorite
Kawhi Leonard has never been better than Kevin Durant.LeBron Hasn’t been the best regular season player since 2013.
But playoffs included he’s been the best player since 2009 and he still was last year. nikka in year 18 and is still a top 3 player imo
Imo KD has never been the best player in the league. Bron was still better in 2014,2017-2018. Kawahi was better in 2019.
We’ll see how they all rank after the playoffs
Kd is probably the best, but bron is top 5 at worst.
Nope, he just learned how to pass out of a double team.Kawhi Leonard has never been better than Kevin Durant.
Y'all do this dumb shyt every season and then after the playoffs Bron has the crown again.
KD has been off for 18 months from injury and shows no rust, he should be the rusty one, no? Lakers played what, 30 games in 9 months before December, rest shouldn’t be an issue for them either.At this point posters just want a weird form of notoriety or something.
Come April-May when the Lakers are still number 1 in the league and Bron and AD have played themselves into shape after having only A TWO MONTH OFFSEASON this thread will be upped and everyone will clown OP.
Come the playoffs when the Lakers make their way to the finale and Lebron is going full steam, further defying all expectations of father time. This thread will be upped and everyone will clown OP.
In the finals when Lebron is playing his ass off.... well wash, rinse, repeat.
It always ends the same as OP and others knows it
