<<{{Official 2019-2020 NBA Thread - the season returns July 31-October 12. }}>
Lebron with the Kobe Jersey hanging in his locker. He looked mad yesterday. Good, fuck all that Barney i love you lets swap jerseys and take photograph bullshit.
It's a natural thing
lebron likes people he doesn't feel are a threat
he'll give ja morant and luka hugs
and stonewall giannis and zion
that's how it should be.
we could go back to lebron joking with steph about serving mario chalmers after a game
to them not being on speaking terms once steph wasn't lil bro
its healthy.
Hes nobody top 5
Legit point. But we need to reassess where we rank AD. Hes nobody top 5. Watching him this season I see why he never was able to make noise in NO.
Incredible talent. But he barely makes my top 10.
Barely makes the top 10 really man you are too much; so you going to sit here an name 10 other players that are better than AD; well since you said barely, i guess that means 8 or 9 other playersthat are better.....too funny
Hes nobody top 5
Who’s the top 2 at each position this year...
Pg...Lillard, Trey Young/Luka
Sg. Harden, Beal
Sf. Lebron, Leonard
Pf. giannis???
C. Andre Drummond, Gobert
So AD ain’t top two at the PF slot....that laughable
The roster in Nola had plenty to do with the struggles on the Pelicans. They never had a healthy team, shot they ain’t been healthy this year.
Ball, Hart, favors and Zion all wore street clothing early in the season.
That act been a year thing going back years.
I don't know what the fuck they doin. I don't know if Kenny got a sexual assault case comin up or what but this shit is absolutely foolish.
I find that people on this board really hate or really love LBJ; and peoples narratives are influenced by that; to say that AD is nobodies top 5 is really stupid; to say that hes barely top 10 is just down right ignorant; but that falls into the LBJ camp; trying to boost up LBJ more; and Giannis is a 3; so pf will definitely be manned by AD...
AMajor is not going to agree with your #2 at SG and I'm assuming #2 at PF. Might be a little debate
Easy to feel that way when you allow others to think for you and don't assess the matter objectively and on its face. A year 8 player who managed to make the postseason twice in a league where most teams make the playoffs and win all of one series while being injury prone and subject to miss 20 games a season. Only won above 40 games twice in career and a total of one playoff series.
John Wall has a better resume. (And no I'm not saying Wall is better. I'm providing context on how AD has given the league nothing in 8 seasons but empty statlines while not impacting team success)
Guys flat out better:
Bron
KD
Kawhi
Yannis
Harden
Curry
Westbrook
Guys you can make argument for:
Dame, Embiid, Luka, Zion (based on year 1 impact and projection), KAT.
So again, AD ain't nobody top 5. Engage your fucking brain and stop letting ESPN tell you what to think cake ass nigga.
had to do some changes, what he want westbrook
Pg...Lillard, Trey Young/Luka
Sg. Harden, Beal
Sf. Lebron, Giannis
Pf.
C. Andre Drummond, Gobert
Now where that leave AD???
to be fair
LeBron to critics who think he's too 'buddy-buddy' with opponents: 'Kiss my (butt)'
James can separate what he does on the court from passing on his advice off of it.

"stonewall"
Yes. Hes better than AD and FAR more accomplished. My issue was him being 2 time (including one unanimous) MVP and fools here and on TV saying he was better than LeBron. He was NEVER that level.
I said they both posed an argument.. But the reality is Luka is objectively a better overall player by any collective measurable.
What about it?and what about defense.

lol @ to be fair
and stonewall doesn't mean be mean to the person and be shitty to the person
its protect the "crown"
which i ended with was a good thing
but go off lebron crusaders lol
It's never factored in like it should be
I have a problem with this statement
He was the MVP both times.
He was not better than Lebron
He is absolutely on that level.
His impact on the court WITH and WITHOUT the ball is almost immeasurable. He absolutely makes everyone around him better and is a transcendent all-time player. He is on the level and not better than Lebron.
That's like bare minimum you can say about Steph Curry.
YOU said Curry? You?
and I wouldn't say Luka or Towns.
and what about defense.
Curry is fucking light years better than AD period lol.
Lebron James is a top 3 NBA player of all time. Steph Curry is top 20 all time.
Not. The. Same. Level.
Wait a minute.. whut now??Losing to the Hornets
are they still praising small ball.
Losing to the Hornets

I could be way off but i think they MIGHT be looking at the Nuggets in that 3 spot right now are willing to drop to 6th to give them a better chance in the 1st round.
Hey, Nuggets just lost to the Warriors G League team a few days ago. Y'all might be good.
What's up with Michael Porter Jr. I haven't seen him play yet...
Steph load managing tonite i see. Gotta ease his way back in after that 6 month non shooting hand fracture layoff. Dont wanna rush things.
What's up with Michael Porter Jr. I haven't seen him play yet...
He got in this 2nd quarter, hit a 3 and now he's back on the bench.
Gotdamn y'all's bench looking like an Express Express Men's department store with all them suits.
The nigga with the one braid
balling tho. He's keeping yall in it. Nuggets got hot early
You KNOW I'm messing with you
You know i defend Bron cuz
And i actually agree with you
But i also dont like when these so called nba insiders try to use healthy competitive nature and flip it to encourage negative interactions between young black men.
Those people you speak wont acknowledge that nor will they accept that
They would put MPJ in the game after I mentioned it. And,that's Sexton with the braid..He took Kyrie's number..
As,for the bench Kevin Porter Jr is in concussion protocol from the last game..Our rotations is fucked up due to all the injuries we have.
I know one thing,Im so sick of Dellvadova...It feels like it's 4 vs 5 with him on the court.
and they were promoting him coming back too.
Now this primetime game a dud with no Embiid and Steph
The Warriors know the 76ers have nobody but Harris and Shake and they don't want to take the chance of winning.
Ain't shit he can do to be better than Jordan. He does have a chance to put together the most "productive" career ever, and leave a legacy with 30 and under fans as the best they ever witnessed.
He just gotta make sure he wins more Finals MVPs and championships than all his adversaries, and be a league leader for a statistical category more than once, because of now, they have all beat him in the Finals.
Turrible.and they were promoting him coming back too.
Now this primetime game a dud with no Embiid and Steph
The Warriors know the 76ers have nobody but Harris and Shake and they don't want to take the chance of winning.
And where Welvin? He need to rehab and stop worrying bout Charles Barkley.
