Lebron is closer to 40 than 30 and he's hurt. Does he get a pass this year?

What? Lebron is still definitely elite are you delusional?

By elite, I am talking about a top 10 player, you can make the argument he isn't quite that anymore albeit still very good, by no means do I think Lebron is washed or anything like that but he's def lost a step or two.

North Jersey but I miss Cali :sadcam:
:mjlol:GIANNIS IS THE 2X REIGNING MVP
AND REIGNING DPOY.


ITS ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS
WATCHING nikkaS SPIN THIS.

THEY SPENT YRS SHOVING PER
DOWN EVERYONES THROAT
UNTIL GIANNIS HAD A HIGHER PER
THAN BRON EVER HAD.

NOW nikkaS DONT CARE ABOUT
STATS & ACCOLADES ANYMORE.

ITS ALL ABOUT POST SEASON SUCCESS
WITH TOP 10 PLAYERS AT YOUR SIDE.
:devil:
:evil:


it's because Giannis isn't a guard or a wing. Most big men are undervalued. Embid, Jokic. The NBA doesn't value big men. People criticized Giannis for not attempting more 3 pointers :russ:

Giannis has been the most dominate player for the past 2 years, but he suffers because of the team he plays for.

Plus the Lakers are still the #1 defensive team in the NBA this year despite Bron and AD missing a huge chunk of the season.

The guy who deserves credit for the Lakers defense is Frank Vogel. His teams always play elite defense. He's the mastermind behind the Lakers success defensively. Not LeBron.


The Lakers are comprised of vets, and players who've tasted an NBA championship. And they have to play defense consistently to make of for the lack of offense without AD/Lebron.

I think we both agree Lebron is an excellent player I think the issue is the line of demarcation, I think Lebron is 11 at this very time an point and I think that is high for someone who has essentially only played half this season.

My man we talking straight game and ability right now,he’s a top 5 player still in those aspects. Now if you wanna knock his rank down due to the injury and missed game ok fine,but a healthy Lebron is easily still a top 3-5 player RIGHT NOW

Bron was shat on for not having a reliable jump shot, not having a reliable post-game, and not being clutch.

This was the daily sohh talking points.

10 years ago he was coming off choking back to back playoffs as the back to back MVP .
"Talking points" are reality now? Bron already had 5 playoff game-winners, the famous 25-straight points against Detroit and the 45-point game 7 against Boston. You gotta be a fukking idiot to claim he "choked" against Orlando averaging 40-8-8 on 50% shooting and hitting a buzzer-beater 3pt to win Game 2 along numerous other clutch shots.

And Bron was a better shooter already in high school than Giannis has ever been.





Post the Giannis Finals shooting chart..... Let's compare... O that's right that doesn't exist
Not to mention he's trying to compare the worst series 22yo Bron ever had to 26yo Giannis's normal game. Ignoring Bron hit a bunch of jumpers in his run to win ECF Game 5 and get them there in the first place and absolutely destroyed the Bulls on jumpers in their series. Which I'm sure @CHICAGO hasn't forgot.








By elite, I am talking about a top 10 player, you can make the argument he isn't quite that anymore albeit still very good, by no means do I think Lebron is washed or anything like that but he's def lost a step or two.
Until the injury Bron was a top-3 MVP candidate.
