It's kind of crazy we forget that LeBron's a 2000's guy -- same era as Kobe/Duncan...

[Im Still Ballin]

He's played for so long, has had such good longevity... It's almost like sometimes we forget...

LeBron was so good, so early -- off the bat -- he played and competed when Shaq was runner-up MVP. When Kobe had just hit his prime. When KG had that season (you know the one.)

LeBron was dropping 50 pieces when T-MAC was still an item. When Nash went back-to-back. When Dirk was MVP.



That's the beauty of LeBron James -- he's a "2 era" guy. So good, so dominant, so early, for so long.

[iamgine]

The combination of young drafting age, genetic lottery winner, taking care of his body, modern medicals and luck of no major injury has made this possible.

dominating multiple eras, currently in era #3

He's arguably a top 5 2000's guy:

1. Shaq
2. Duncan
3. Kobe

4/5/6?

Dirk? (1 MVP, 1 Finals appearance)
LeBron? (2 MVPs, 1 Finals appearance)
Garnett? (1 MVP, 1 championship)

Nash would be after those guys.

I feel like his '04-'08 seasons are kind of any after thought when his career gets discussed, and during those years he was a 27/7/7 player, which is about what Luka has averaged so far in his first 3 years, who is largely considered the best young player today.

To put things into prospective, Luka can become an elite defender from here on out, win multiple MVPs, & make the Finals a bunch of consecutive times and may still come up short vs LeBron career wise. :lol

If the Lakers didn’t pull off that trade, it sounds like Kobe Bryant and Gasol would have ended up playing with each other eventually. According to a story from Tania Ganguli and Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times, Bryant and Gasol had talked about teaming up since 2007, when they ran into each other in the gym of a Barcelona Hotel in the summer:

the guy was league mvp like 4 years ago and hes still only 32... he had explosive dunks in washington like his knees are back again. he might have a better season than your boyfriend tbh

Dude didn't even make an All-NBA Team this year, made two All-NBA Third teams the years prior, but "superstar". What kind of superstar plays for 3 teams in 3 years?

Nobody takes you serious, you have already been destroyed when discussing serious basketball multiple times, and every time you get destroyed you resort to trolling then throw a little hissy fit like an emotional lesbian and you make yourself get banned. SOFT.

thats because he had to completely start over again and by the time washington started to click it was too late for any kind of awards... the 2nd half of the season was great for the wizards and he took the team on his back and carried them to the playoffs. an entire season with that kind of chemistry would have gotten him 2nd team all nba

you don't watch basketball. you never did. you're just addicted to trolling online. thats the biggest difference between me and you... when i do it i actually bring some real insight to the conversation


you just make sh*t up in your own mind and base your bullsh*t opinions off of checking out basketball reference for 5 seconds

Westbrook took them to the playoffs as an 8th seed with a losing record where he averaged 19 ppg on 33% shooting?

That's your superstar? Not surprised really, you have low standards, you also think 2000 Kobe was a supertsar when he put up similar numbers. :oldlol:
