I agree with this take, but would add this is the same belief people had when KD, RW, & JH lost to the Heat in the Finals. It was ASSumed the Thunder would dominate the west and make multiple visits to the finals. The draft capital is nice, but it will be interesting to see how Presti uses it. I...

If I was picking a Closer, for sure it would be Kobe #1 for me then MJ. If I were picking a guy to make the right basketball play, and always looking to get his guys going it would LBJ. Kobe patterned his game after MJ and he was as close as anyone to matching MJ's will to win. Lebron is...

Go ahead and add Luka to this meme. He's the worst right now. The dude cries after every play that he doesn't get a call. Duncan and the Spurs were pretty bad. Kawhi kinda changed that because he rarely engages with the refs...

Brian Windhorst has been following Lebron's career since he entered the league. He reported Lebron played as heavy as 275-80lbs during his Miami days, and then he changed his fitness routine and cut out carbs because he felt like could do more later in his career if he got in better shape. He...

Exactly. Some of these comments are laughable. Can you picture Bill Laimbeer, Robert Parrish, etc trying to guard Lebron out on the floor? I don't know why people even debate which players from far different eras could make it in different eras. The game changes drastically from era to era. A...

Minnesota making it look easy. Denver on life support.

Minnesota is built to beat Denver because they can offset the big advantages Denver has over most other teams in the west. Being able to guard Joker with Kat Towns while using Gobert as a rim protector/defensive helper is huge. McDaniel is an elite defender who can guard Porter Jr or Murray if...

For whatever reason this got me interested so I did a deeper dive. I found Langston's Collective is managed by an agency called Opendorse. On their website they have a button you can click to interact with the Langston Collective. It has every one of its male and female athletes on the page, and...

Hey now, no bashing my Lakers over here. Join us in the NBA thread to throw your darts. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: 😁 ;)

Their alumni are huge, and their people support their University. Their campus has improved in appearance and features since I was young. Many of the inner-city kids are considering the HBCUs and the cultural experience they bring. Of course, they won't compete for most D-1 athletes, but they...

No doubt!!! Cooper was an elite defender and knockdown shooter. Even during the Shaq/Kobe era, they had at least two plus on-ball defenders in Fisher and Fox. LeBron was an elite defender early in his career, but not anymore except for the occasional chase-down block, which he is possibly the...

Bless you ole anonymous one!! 😁 😁

Could Kelbie Washington not have helped us at the PG position next year? Was any reason given for her leaving??

Trae Young isn't going to do anything to fix the Denver problem, and I don't think any other problems. If Lebron stays he will still dominate the ball most of the time, and the backcourt defense gets worse with Young.

I agree with this.
