No Kyrie, no problem. No Leonard, no problem. No Ad????....

Yikes... what's the difference then?

Some step up, others just go home lol

[Spurs m8]

Oooooh juicy

Lakers have better overall pieces too

And let's be honest...Harden was a negative...so he overcame that too

He elevates his team mates.

Like AD does - eg...those games he scored 34 against the suns and won...schroder scored at least 20 both times.

As soon as AD leaves...Dennis only hits 8...with LeBadBodyLanguage cracking it at him and then leaving for the locker 5 mins early.

That crushed Dennis...Next game 0 points.

Skilled scorers who are not dependent on refs, drives to basket that are really offensive fouls and uncontested jumpshots. Teammates can go off too (like Reggie Jackson and Marcus Morris) because they're not ball dominant scorers.

Lebron is a rich man's Giannis / Ben Simmons. He's got no scoring skill set. Therefore is dependent on Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irving, Dwayne Wade to carry him. When they're compromised by injury or are not there. He tends to get blown out. See Suns after AD injury or 2014 Finals with a fat washed up Wade.

Imagine how lame you have to be think anything a 36 year old injured LeBron did negatively impacts his legacy lmao

Always a lot of excuses for lebron stans. Just accept the losses man. No ifs or buts.

Hobbling AD kept the series alive against the suns. No AD, 30-40 pt difference instantly.

It does actually. Hobbling AD allowed a 2-2 series with the suns. Imagine the value of a healthy AD during last years mickey league. It was easy for lebron to coast with that much talent.

lol me? I accept the loss and don't give a shit. It seemed obvious the Lakers were doomed after mid season. Reminded me of 2019 in ways.

The thing is, you say all this shit..Just accept the loss yadda yadda..MJ never even faced anything like this. No one I knew cared about a strangers life to the point they celebrate when they lost. Modern day basketball fans are absolute morons and ironically it started with MJ fans themselves as they couldn't handle seeing LeBron game prominence.

You're literally a bunch of lunatic weirdos playing mind games. I admit, it's amusing at times though.

Boom

Furthermore, KD or PG have elite jumpshooting skill - this is often assisted by teammates, thereby elevating teammates to superior role.. Otoh, lebron's ball-dominance isn't assisted by teammates, so teammates reduced to spot-up roles and the team sucks

You care so much for a stranger that it bothers you that people are getting back at him for all his BS. Lebron is a big boy, he should be able to handle it without you defending him. With all his BS from the past, he should understand why people are getting back at him. Why are trying to act like Lebron is Jacky Chan in his movies? An innocent guy who everyone just loves to attack for no reason. Lol, is it conspiracy that a lot of people respond the same way to Lebron? Or do you think maybe, just maybe it has something to do with Lebron and his BS?

[000]

lakers lebron:
2019: third team like gobert & kemba
2020: AD turned lottery lakers into champions
2021: second team like randle

Paul george-level? I guess pg13 is better in the playoffs though

i truly believe that leCoward's management team pays ppl to stan him on the internet.

Lebron fake reading the autobiography of malcolm x, and fake watching the godfather for some image projection, I have no doubt at all that Lebron is paying people to defend him everywhere on the internet. Trolls like shooter/8ball and whatever his other alts are, I am sure are paid. SATAN though seems to be emotionally attached to Lebron. He seems to take it personally.

[TheMan]

LeStats cares only about empty stats, simple as that. A modern day Oscar Robertson, nice stats but very little in chips to show for :(

And for the love of God can we drop the "he elevates everyone around him" narrative already? It's been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that he actually hinders his teammates with his ball dominant style, turns legitimate stars into spot up jump shooters.

It's all been about stats for the bronsexuals. Lol. It's like they're fine staring at the stats per se. No need to watch his actual game to see him play hot potato, barrel his way on the drive like a hippo with no skills, have confused footwork when the def gets serious, flop in massively embarrassing ways, complain excessively to the refs, give up on his teammates, get yelled at or pushed by teammates to play better.. they are missing out on these "gems", Lol.

For those that hoop, I guarantee that no one looks at Lebron's videos to learn. No one wants to play like him. It will most likely be the likes of Jordan, Kobe, KD, Olajuwon, Kyrie, Curry, etc that people want to learn from.

We're doing the LeStans a favor by trying to teach them that Bran is a fraud perpetrated by the media to garner tv ratings but they ain't fooling us...they are just to dimwitted to realize they've been had, quite sad actually :(

Just wait a few years. Once Lebron is no longer the face of the league and we got a new GOAT contender (expect KD vs. Lebron arguments to heat up in a few years when KD gets to 4 rings), they'll poke holes in his game and go from making GOAT arguments to not having him in top 10 at all.

My prediction is that once LeBron retires, there won't be any incentive in the msm to prop up LeFraud, he'll be considered a fringe top 10 GOAT by the younger crowd, citing his miserable Finals record, his cakewalk to the Finals in a historically bad EC and his penchant for getting wiped off the floor time and again. His stats will be considered like Wilt's, a product of a marshmallow no defense era...

Can we really consider him to be "flourishing" when he's arguably not even a top 40 player in the league??

[ImKobe]

He's flourishing. 24/5/5 on 58.4%TS on a team with no spacing. Adding Steven Adams to a squad with Zion was a huge mistake by the Pelicans' FO, and SVG was not an ideal pick either. Imagine if BI had 4 shooters around him and he initiated the offense, he could easily be a 27+ ppg 6+ apg player. He's a gifted offensive player.

I agree that he has gifts offensively, primarily in ISO situations, but he's an empty stats guy who requires the ball in his hand to be effective. And he isn't good enough to be that guy for a good team. He also doesn't seem to be very solid mentally.

Again, you can make a very real argument that he isn't a top 40 player in the league. Putting up an extra couple PPG on a team that's never made the playoffs with him on it isn't really flourishing.
