CONCLUSIONS:

The NBA let Lebron choose an opposing franchise player to heist from their team, while also giving Lebron's team 3 times the FT differential as any other team, and 5 times the transactional activity to give Lebron a chance with every good player in the league... [I]Yet he's still a play-in team!!![/I]..

Accordingly, there's a mountain of proof that Lebron's ball-dominant skillset and chemistry underachieves rosters more than anyone ever, such as the most losses ever with preseason favorites, Finals teams and perennial play-in status with AD and the most active GM in the league.. Lebron also has bevies of losses with homecourt, all-star teammates and 1 or 2 seeds.. He's a joke and the biggest fraud in sports history that ruined the game - he turned it into a non-competitive league of team-ups, load management and easy-scoring beginner format/rules.

That boi never gonna run out of tears.

There's no question the Lakers are a stacked team. Yet every time I point out the obvious, Bronie fluffers like RRR3 and 1987_Lakers go into a meltdown over it. :lol

The truth must really be painful.

This is legit hard data most people here will ignore. LAs free throw differential was disgusting. The league blatantly tips the table for them just like they've done for many stars of the past.

Taureen Prince, Spencer Dinwiddie, Gabe Vincent, Jared Vanderbilt, Christian Wood, Andre Drummond, Cam Reddish, Russell Westbrook, D-Lo, Rui Hachimura, Dorian-Finney-Smith, Dennis Schroeder, Patrick Beverly, Malik Monk, Avery Bradley, Dwight Howard, Carmelo Anthony, Alex Caruso, KCP, Danny Green and Montrezl Harrell (6MOY before joining Lakers)

Provide examples - show me where the NBA gave a player 3 times the FT differential as any other team, and 5 times the transactional activity (above) that includes heists of opposing franchise players like AD.. Show me where that's happened before.

Smh... People just love the cumbaya stuff when the reality is that some guys get lucky or carried, and/or are frauds - this [I]does[/I] exist and it does happen, so we don't need to ignore or pretend that "everyone else got it too" - this perpetuates the fraud and continues to keep it hidden..

It's okay to be a man and stand up for what's right... That's lacking nowadays and now it's only the women that show strength (Michelle Obama and Pelosi for missing the events), while soy-boy and beta Barack Obama went to the events like a good ol' boy and joked around with his bestie Trump.

3ball is literally crying like a baby right now :roll:

Btw, I don't have a problem with Trump and supported him - I've always understood what he does and do the same thing in these forums all the time... But it hit me this morning like "why DIDN'T barack miss the inauguration?.. what's wrong with taking a stand after all the shit he talked?... he simply lacks the spine, and it hit me that the power boss women like Pelosi and Michelle are actually wearing the pants, smh lmao... The lack of true leaderships and spine is why Barack produced a watered-down "nothingburger" healthcare bill instead of the universal healthcare that he ran on, smh

It existed back with your boy MJ too.

Why did Jordan get 67 free throws in the 1996 Finals and his perimeter adversary Gary Payton only got 26? Thyre both athletic aggressive all star guards with the ball in their hands a ton. Why such a huge discrepancy?

A million more examples like that...

Shaq became the MDE by offensive fouling people. And everybody applauded his destruction and ooh'ed and ahh'ed over it. Is what it is.

Mahomes Jordan Brady Kobe Shaq Lebron whoever... sports is mostly WWE. They market promote and facilitate who they want to win who can make them the most money. Simple as that.

It's hard to re-create a similar scenario but I'm going to try... Imagine that the Nuggets go on a tear and win 60 games this year and appear headed to dynasty status, and also that Wemby wins MVP and DPOY this year to match 88' Jordan... When the lottery-cast Spurs meet the juggernaut Nuggets in the playoffs, they will be big underdogs, but it won't be a foregone conclusion because people will want to see what goat individual season player (Wemby) is going to do... The Spurs' undermanned cast would be really trying to beat the Nuggets, due primarily to goat candidate Wemby.. This rejection of conceding loss in favor of a "pressure makes diamonds" approach, aka simply improving sufficiently enough to win would allow Wemby to take this [I]same cast[/I] to eventual obliteration of the Nuggets after 3 tries.

This is what Jordan faced in the 88' Playoffs.. The Bulls were actually trying to win that series against the Bad Boys rather than concede loss, and this "pressure makes diamonds" approach is why that same lottery cast sufficiently improved their chemistry to obliterate the Bad Boys after 3 tries - it took that long for a lottery cast to improve sufficiently to beat a dynasty.

TLDR: I think MJ did it the right way, but otherwise you're right about pro sports being WWE, like Magic teaming up with Kareem, Kobe/Shaq, and Lebron/whoever.

^^^ I missed this the first time - who would ever compare Payton's athleticism to Jordan's??... They aren't even remotely close.. In addition to being a far better athlete, Jordan got more foul calls because he's the goat scorer and Payton is the #200, or whatever.

Btw, Payton got about 2 dunks all year in 1996, and we have the numbers for MJ (90), which was top 5% in the league... MJ was also voted by coaches and GM's in 1997 to have the quickest 1st step in the league... At 6'6", he easily blew by 5'11" guys from a stationary position, and going left.
