Nets have been dire of late and not even our dickhead coach could manage to make the game close

It’s somewhat impressive how bad the Pistons are with multiple high draft picks on the roster and a well credentialed coach

Does anyone read Jamal Crawford’s mailbag? Really like his insights…

 

[Anil]

Talk about bad luck!

Those nurses outfits providing more ring protection than the Pistons D.

So, I watched one of those LeBron is not the goat videos, then the algorithm thought I should watch more, so I did. I'm sold. What are people's opinions here? Is LeBron kind of the Kohli (tests) of basketball?

He’s infinitely better than Kohli

He is on the short list of candidates for GOAT so no.

 

[Victor Ian]

Kohli was perhaps a comparison too far. But for me, who kind of got bored with Basketball by 2010, Wilt, Bird and Jordan are all far superior. LeBron just feels so much like that group of players you could rank anywhere after the top 5, but should rarely be talked about as being in it.

Oh wow VI with some truth bombs here.

I grew up watching Jordan on TV so he'll always be my number one and felt that there was clear daylight between him and the rest at the time. That's never been the case with LeBron, who has shared the limelight more with (several generations of) his peers.

I don't believe he's in the pack though. It's MJ, LeBron then the rest. James's longevity is remarkable.

 

[Victor Ian]

I'm not sold on his longevity. Ever since he went hunting rings he seems to be carried. He doesn't do all the hard stuff but gets to demand the plays from his team mates while he just shuffles around in between. His scoring record is on the back of changes that have made it easier. Jabbar is more impressive for me, even though LeBron has passed him. If LeBron had to play against 90's defence, I think he'd have retired a couple of years ago. He's definitely great, but I think he is definitely in the pack.
