Dudes ridiculous. The feel for a rookie is amazing

[TheGoatest]

One came into the NBA from college.
The other came into the NBA from a level that is barely higher than that of members of this forum.

I was laughed at when I compared Paulo to Lebron and said he should go #1

To be fair doesn't your track record make people laugh at you regardless of what you say? Pavlovian response.

My track record is literally GOAT - everything I say happens

Now you'll proceed to search your bookmarks for the Oubre thread, thus making my point - the exception that proves the rule

Ultimately, I'm viewed as someone that underrates Lebron, but you guys are infact fooled by the media overrating him, not me.. He was literally nothing before the decision except a perennial bed-wetter and loser

^Damage control. :roll:

But yes, I was going to make a thread about Banchero, because I'm surprised people aren't talking about him more. Forget about Wembanyama, Banchero's here now, and he's the real deal.

You think I'd bookmark anything you losers say? I just assume you are all 15 year old dipshits. Y'all sure act like it sometimes.

Like this guy right here. He thinks "Dingus" is some sick burn. Nobody knows what that means dude. Nobody says that. Where are you from and how old are you?

Oddly enough, in his case, his terrible record doesn't bother you, and only his stats matter. :oldlol:
If Banchero ends up having a career that is superior than that of Foolish jordon like LeBron, you will start shitting all over him. :roll:

[90sgoat]

He's very good and I will agree that he looks mostly like a less athletic, but stronger Blake Griffin.

^I'm definitely getting dingus vibes from this dude.

:lol

[Airupthere]

So rookie not calling himself the “Chosen One” actually does better than the one who did?

[SATAN]

Suddenly it's not the easiest era to rack up stats anymore. Amazing.

Whether it is or is not, he's still outperforming all other rookies by a mile. This shouldn't be difficult to understand, even for someone of your abysmal IQ.

Yeah I mean if it's so easy... Why doesn't every team have a guy like Banchero...

[Paolo Banchero]

Being compared to Lebron is itself an achievement

[Paolo Banchero]

Paolo Banchero surpassed Kevin Durant's mark for most points scored by a teenager through his first five NBA games:

120 - Banchero
113 - Durant

[iamgine]

Rookie Lebron wasn't all that special. Not that much better than rookie Tyreke Evans.

Second year was when Lebron truly became scary.

Rookie of the year is already in bag.

[Lebron23]

Lebron played in an era in which the NBA still plays defense, and no 3 points shooting. LeBron at the same age as Paolo averaged 27 ppg in 2005.

If only Isaac would play basketball again

https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/CLE/2005.html LeBron when he was the same age as Paolo. 27.2 ppg on 47.2 FG%. And with the current NBA pace that is 29-31 ppg.

[Paolo Banchero]

Paolo had bad game today, but he will rebound.

Even being mentioned in the same breath with LeBron is a compliment. He has a similar mix of size and ballhandling, so I can understand the comparison. Banchero is more of a legit big man size though compared to young LeBron.
