lol Lebron will be completely forgotten by 2020

[masonanddixon]

Curry's absolute dominance will make lebron but a mere footnote, a passing fad, if you will, in the history of the game.

[ShannonElements]

A passing fad. Just like your capacity for intelligent thought.

[masonanddixon]

A passing fad. Just like your capacity for intelligent thought.

Curry right now is significantly better than lebron ever was, and Curry is only just getting started.

[Nick Young]

He is the new Oscar Robertson.

[Gileraracer]

No he will always be remembered when someone colludes. They will say "he made a Lebron".


And his signature move, the stiff arm, is also legendary.

[theaussieguy]

haha yeah its poetic that right on the tail end of Lebrons clunky, forced, often time torturous career for both fans and players like, we get this transcendent player who suddenly injects sweet glorious life into the game again.

Hes basically forgotten already

[Lakersfamftw]

Kobe will be remembered as the goat once this focus on bs analyse subsides. Jordan and Wilt probably up there. Curry and kareem.
Lebron let's be honest, while an athletic freak, doesn't have the fundamentals the other guys have. That is what stops him imo of being elite.

[Uncle Drew]

How did Hayward do?

[knicksman]

Without mvps, Bran would be isiah

[AintNoSunshine]

I doubt it. He will probably still be winning rings at that point.

[aj1987]

I know you're a retarded wannabe doctor, but I swear the posters on this board have the memory of a goldfish.


You idiots do realize that KD, just 2 seasons ago, was putting up 2 more PPG on 64% TS, right? Only 4% TS less than current Curry. He was doing it on a significantly worse team than the current Warriors as well.

[SpaceJam]

Who?

[NattyPButter]

lol I think ppl some times forget how old Curry is. In 2020 dude will be 31.

Nah. As long as he has haters, he's going to be relevant.

[Wally450]

Curry's only getting started? He has like 2 more years at a top level IMO.

[PP34Deuce]

Curry's only getting started? He has like 2 more years at a top level IMO.

It's funny to me. People forget that Curry is like the age of Durant and westbrook. They're not old but they're not Anthony Davis or Towns young.

Curry has this late bloomer effect similar to Steve Nash's.

[Mr. Jabbar]

lewho?

[G.U.S.]

12be will be surpassed to 15be by that point :lol

[tmacattack33]

:rolleyes:

Lebron's been playing great recently. And its pretty clear cut right now that he is the second best player, ahead of Durant.

He's been best or 2nd best player for about 10 years in a row right now. No one has done that since MJ (well, actually, MJ didn't even do it...he had a two year gap where he was out playing baseball)

[tmacattack33]

12be will be surpassed to 15be by that point :lol

Kobe's around 14th right now. Don't believe that BS ESPN hype. The best list i've seen so far has been realgm's, kobe is 14th on that one.

11 is between dirk and wade.
09 could be argued for wade over lebron, and kobe was the best that year.
So it's more like 5 years in a row which many players have done.
He's def not 1st or 2nd in 06, maybe 07.

[Kingwillball]

Curry right now is significantly better than lebron ever was, and Curry is only just getting started.

R u really that dumb ? He has been in league 7 years already this is his best season by far lebron will end up top 5 scoring and assists all time think about that for a moment.. Lebron was a phenom at age 19-20 curry age 27 is flavor of moment much like KD was couple years back..

Lebron is a much more significant figure in NBA history ..

Lebron is either number 1 or number 2 in 2011. Depending on how much you rate 4 games out of the entire year.

2009 Lebron was number 1.

[Legends66NBA7]

lol I think ppl some times forget how old Curry is. In 2020 dude will be 31.

And his game will be fine because he doesn't need to over handle the ball. His game is tailor made for movement without the ball. His ankles might be the only major concern, but he hasn't missed major time outside of 2012.

[SexSymbol]

Lebron is either number 1 or number 2 in 2011. Depending on how much you rate 4 games out of the entire year.

2009 Lebron was number 1.
The 4 that easily mattered the most?
LeBron was not no. 1 in 09, the vast majority had Kobe as the best player and Wade was also getting a lot of love.
Look at what Dirk did in 11 throughout the whole season and how mavs did without him.
Also, the general consensus was that Wade was the best heat player in 11.

Stop. Lebron is already a lock for top 10 all time, Curry might get there but one season at this level aint enough yet.

The thing lebron has is the consistent greatness and durability for so long..that is how a legacy is built and claim to be all time great .. Curry would need another 4-5 years at or at least very close to this level
To even sniff top 10 all time..

[12th]

Ppl forgot about Kobe since 2011:oldlol:

[PP34Deuce]

Lol. Stay mad.

Currys game will age very good but people talk about him like Davis and Towns from a potential standpoint.

He's maxed out potential wise. You have a top 5 player in the league right now. He's impacting the game to a level not seen.

[riseagainst]

Ppl forgot about Kobe since 2011:oldlol:


obviously you haven't.

rent free

:lol

[AirBonner]

Op is shook. Lets see curry dominate for a decade

[Ca$H]

Curry will surpass Bran next season. 3 Titles, 3 MVPs, 2 FMVPs, 3/3 Finals record, and Bulls record beats 2 Titles, 4 MVPs, 2 FMVPs, and 2/8 Finals record with three losses coming head to head against Curry.

No matter what you say or think it won't change the overall opinion because you are such a small % of bball fans

[G0ATbe]

In a decade or so his name will only be brought up when discussing greatest choker ever debates

[Spurs m8]

Kobe will be remembered as the goat once this focus on bs analyse subsides. Jordan and Wilt probably up there. Curry and kareem.
Lebron let's be honest, while an athletic freak, doesn't have the fundamentals the other guys have. That is what stops him imo of being elite.

And this is why no one can take you seriously

[Wade's Rings]

Lebron is either number 1 or number 2 in 2011. Depending on how much you rate 4 games out of the entire year.

2009 Lebron was number 1.

Wade was better than Lebron throughout the '11 Playoffs. It wasn't just the Finals.

[SouBeachTalents]

Wade was better than Lebron throughout the '11 Playoffs. It wasn't just the Finals.

I'd say it was pretty close. LeBron was better against the 76ers, Wade was better against the Celtics, LeBron was significantly better against the Bulls, while Wade was significantly better in the Finals

[Wade's Rings]

I'd say it was pretty close. LeBron was better against the 76ers, Wade was better against the Celtics, LeBron was significantly better against the Bulls, while Wade was significantly better in the Finals

Wade showed up in the Bulls series when it mattered and played defense, Bron didn't show up like that in the Finals. Outplaying Bron on the biggest stage when it matters is huge.

The numbers lie for Philly since Wade played Game 2 with the migraines. Outside of that game he posted: 24/9/6/1.2/2.2 shooting 46%. Bron posted: 24/11/6/.8/.8 shooting 47%.

:oldlol:

Don't forget that LeBron also had migraine's that one game in which was his worst of the series. So that game doesn't count for him either.

[NZStreetBaller]

Agreed only hardcore fans will remember lebron. If his hype is like a 10/10 his substance is like a 5....

The guy never really became all that he was meant to become

He was suppose to carry a bunch of scrubs and cleveland to the championship atleast 6 times and make cleveland the mecca of basketball for his time. Similar to what jordan did with Chicago. But noooooo.... instead .... well u know what happened.

[j3lademaster]

:rolleyes:

He's been best or 2nd best player for about 10 years in a row right now. No one has done that since MJ (well, actually, MJ didn't even do it...he had a two year gap where he was out playing baseball)Is he? Westbrook is superior in RAPM and PER on a team with a comparable record.

Remember when it was so hard to rank Lebron ahead of Kobe ~2009, 2010 because of Kobe's reputation and the "eye test"? But Lebron was superior in major advanced metrics and that was his argument. Why are you guys doing that to Westbrook now? Lebron didn't have rings at that time either.

[Wade's Rings]

:oldlol:

I never said the Game didn't count, I was showing how their numbers matched up without the migraine game from Wade.

Top 3

4 MVPs
2x All Star MVP
2x Champion
2x FMVP
5 straight nba finals (2 different teams)

Curry has yet to accomplish any of these things.
The first thing he will accomplish that LeBron did already is a b2b mvp. :confusedshrug:

It's just an easy way of saying "if __________ wasn't allegedly suffering from _____ in game 2, then his series numbers would have been better, so we'll just remove his worst game."

[Magic 32]

He will be forgotten because he never had a loyal fanbase for more than 5 years at a time.

Colluding and jumping teams will blur people's memory, and the lack of greatness in eastern conference will also limit the interest going foward.

Who wants to re-watch his series against the Pacers or the Wizards ?


http://replygif.net/i/1096.gif

Hopefully he will go to his grave with only the two mercenary rings. It would be devastating for him. :applause:

[knicksman]

If you have self respect, 1 ring is enough to surpass bran. No real man/alpha will ever accept colluded rings

[Kvnzhangyay]

If you have self respect, 1 ring is enough to surpass bran. No real man/alpha will ever accept colluded rings

It's the opposite. Collusion rings are the signs of alpha rings due to still winning despite all the pressure

And if you didn't know, chances of succeeding /w more pressure= lower

Thus, colluding and accepting the social pressure= more alpha

If you don't think social/peer pressure is immense then you must have no friends

No because Durant isn't polarizing enough to generate the social pressure needed to make it an incredibly tough and alpha-proving decision

If he was as hated as Kobe or Lebron or even MJ when he was playing, then yes Durant joining the Warriors would prove him alpha as ****

Yah winning with peer pressure is more satisfying than winning as an underdog. Lol

It is. If you've played basketball before, you'd know that the most satisfying thing ever is to quiet the crowd, aka the haters.

It's much more satisfying to win despite all the haters and to piss off ALL the haters, as you would if you win against peer pressure.

If you win as an underdog all you get to piss off by winning as the underdog is the opposing team and its fans.

Thread cliffs:
Being alpha is defined as being able to not care about social pressure/peer pressure that comes with being hated.

Not caring about peer pressure can come from many different ways. For example, Kobe generated haters/created social pressure to himself by being an asshole. Lebron generated haters/created social pressure to himself by bragging about himself and the Decision.

Both created tremendous peer pressure, but both players were alpha enough to withstand it.

So winning a ring isnt peer pressure? Winning 4 mvps without a ring isnt peer pressure? Im sure thats what bran is thinking. Thats why he colluded coz he doesnt want to end up ringless. He doesnt want to be the joke of the league having 4 mvps while having no rings.

I disagree with your points. I honestly don't think LeBron was that disliked pre Miami. I'm sure he had haters, anyone at the top of their profession will, but I felt like he was generally liked during his first stint in Cleveland.

I also disagree with your assertion about the decision. I think LeBron was trying to milk that free agency for every drop of publicity he could, and was told about the idea to televise his selection and he went with it. I just don't think he had any idea what he was getting himself into, or what the consequences would be for doing so.

You could tell how unexpected the backlash was for him. He never expected to become arguably the most hated athlete in the country overnight. He tried to play up to the villain role, but that's just not in his nature. LeBron wants to be liked almost to a fault, and I think he was affected by the sudden shift in public perception. This imo was the biggest reason for his epic meltdown in the Finals that first season in Miami. The hatred and pressure just broke the dude.
