You have a point. I know he's still young but i'm not so optimistic about him once he comes back. Most likely he will still retain his reckless playstyle and keep on trying to dunk over everyone else, despite that undersized body of his. If he's unlucky enough, it might only be a matter of time before it takes an ultimate toll on him.
TL,DR. Thread cliffs:
Celtics are the greatest team of all time because they only lost one playoffs game. They achieved that record thanks to Tatum's expert 26% 3 point jumpshooting defeating the ball dominance of Tyler Herro.
I won't say that's impossible because trades happen that don't make sense to me every year. But why would a bad lottery team that is likely rebuilding trade a lottery pick for a flawed star? He's about to be 33, makes 50 mil a year and can't stay healthy. If anyone trades for Leonard it will be a good team that is desperate to compete for a...
Literally you any time someone mentions him or MJ. :oldlol:
Anyway, Ron Harper has now proven he can no longer be taken seriously. It's like people can't have their own opinions. Everything is some conspiracy if they disagree with these bitter old dudes.
2 teams were above .500 on the road in 1988 compared to half the league today (15 teams).
This accounts for the inflation of home performance vs road that was widespread in the 80's and 90's but is mostly phased out today.
GONE are the days of road trips with 8 games in 13 nights... Between the extra days off, private jets, friendly crowds...
chris bosh was long and athletic. hibbert was a mismatch because hibbert was an outlier in terms of size. chris bosh still was a good defender though.
the revisionist history on chris bosh has gotten insane
he was a stud, great young star.
Yeah... he himself said he didn't want to bang down low anymore. This article breaks it down pretty well about Miami realizing they couldn't have him at center full time

They could trade Kawhi to get a lottery pick or two.
Houston at 3rd, OKC at 12, San Antonio at 4th and 8th.
Ok, maybe not San Antonio, but Houston and OKC might be interested in getting Kawhi in a weak draft.
1987: Pre-ACL Ron Harper VS Air Jordan
What an awesome defender Harper was before injury.
Literally dominated MJ's quickness with those steals all game!
Stole tons of 1987 MJs passes in head -2-head matchup.
He wasn’t terrible defensively at all with Miami. The issue was that he was the “big” on the team and got stuck with guarding people outside of his size/weight class. When they matched up right he was very good overall, particularly using his length as a help defender.
otoh, it's the clips, and they have to be really good to be relevant. Them being 'ok' is like the Knicks being ok. A perpetual joke.
If they really could blow it up, it would be nice, but I can't think of who they would get. Josh Giddey maybe?
No, but you've seen how teams actually do pretty well when they dump their stars for hungry up...
But...but...but.....
Same Bosh got that "invaluable" offensive rebound off LBJ missed 3 and passed it to back paddling Ray Allen to save LBJs legacy!
Same Bosh got to Danny Green, championship winning 3-pointer and blocked it CLEANLY? maybe Foul? and thew away the ball.
2 huge back-2-back Championship winning plays by Bosh and LBJ, the...
I thought Dallas was gonna win, but when the series started, it seemed like Terry was choking balls. Then he really did start going off. But he started slowly and could have lost the series to them.

Since 1993 MJ had 2 more starters in all Defensive teams, dont you think 1993 MJ was voted against in favor of 1993 Hakeem for 1993 DPOY.
Media said, 1993 MJ has help with that doberman defense Bulls ran.
I still think 1993 MJ did not do his job. which is get to 100+ blocks. Despite 1993 Steals Champ.
same way.
2013 LBJ is in the...
1993 Bulls:
1st team all defense: Pippen / Jordan
2nd team all defense: Horace Grant
3 elite defensive players in 1993 on 1 team.
2013 Grizzlies:
1st team all defense: Tony Allen
LeBron comes off looking petty, insecure, desperate and more than a little obsessive. If he can't be the GOAT, "The King" would rather burn the sport to the ground and rule over the ashes.
