Jordan Poole was grabbing for the ball, and they're blaming him for Ja's injury
Y'all broke a muthafuckas elbow with a clothesline like the ultimate warrior
Yeah, they are reaching with this. The bane play was more dangerous to me.
I don't think Ayton gets max from Phoenix. Wouldn't be surprised if he didn't get a max offer from anyone...
What happened?

Oh yea
cause he saw what happened
Poole swiped at the ball and he actually injured his knee on the other play when he tried to jump into Klay
He's getting the max from someone, I'd be surprised if he doesn't.
It's OK
That sh*t don't phase me no mo bro
They told us in therapy to stay away from those looking to trigger you
@therealjondoe
Stand behind me Satan.
I ain't never looking back.
I been over the dolonavirus
Inoculated.
And boosted
You gotta just quit cold turkey bro
You gotta stop this bro. From day one LeBron was supremely skilled with elite basketball IQ and could set up players, run an offense and score from ANYWHERE on the court. Yannis didnt learn how to fucking dribble until year 4. This is wildly disrespectful on your part. Yannis has developed into a highly effective great player, but reducing LeBrons game to a Yannis duplicate based on them both being powerful and strong is complete horse shit.
Ja young so I wonder if he'll take the immature approach to his teammate not feeling how Ja feels about the injury.
On the other hand he could use Klay and Steph laughing as some type of motivation going forward.
I don't care. My team is out, I'm here for the drama lol
Yeah, Giannis development has been amazing. I didn't think much of him at first, especially to see him become MVP by 25. Lebron was far more developed and he was more quickness than power early.
This is one time where a reach panned out and the player actually developed. Most of the time that shit doesn't pan out and they're out the league after or before their rookie contract is over.
Giannis wasn't even that strong coming in to the league, he was a skinny kid.
From day one? That's complete bullshit. We are talking about SCORING!!! We are not talking about passing or nothing else. All Lebron did was use his strength and athleticism to bully his way to the basket. He was not out here, crossing folks up, stepping back, elite from 3 point range or none of that. Let's be real. We are talking about SKILL when it comes to SCORING nothing else. Kyrie is skilled, Durant is skilled, Luka is skilled etc. Lebron was not out here looking like none of those dudes on offense in his younger days. I'm not even saying he couldn't score in many ways, but he simply just didn't. He put his head down and rammed his way to the fucking basket for that same tomahawk dunk he did every time. Come on now. Let's not act silly. He wasn't Kyrie with handles, Dirk In the Post, Steph from 3, or CP3 from midrange. He was fucking Giannis, i'm bigger and stronger than everybody so i'm going to bullrush to the basket any time I can to SCORE. Quit playing with me man. Cuz I know you're old enough to have seen this shit.
Lebron got y'alls head fucked up. Every player doesn't have to play like Magic Johnson. Greek didn't need to run an offense, set up players or none of that. He had a POINT GUARD to do that.
Yep. I was his biggest critic. I (rightfully) trashed him 3 postseasons straight. Kid has developed into a stud tho. Added 60lbs muscle and 3 inches height since his draft.
I'm still kinda surprised at how effective he manages to be with such a limited skillset tho. He's great at getting spacing and finding spots and hitting open guys. Coach did good with meshing the offense around him too.
ALL THIS BUDDY BUDDY SHIT IS FOR THE BIRDS MAN. THIS THE PLAYOFFS. I HATE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND YOU HATE ME. ANYTHING THAT SEEMS FUCKED UP IS. PERIOD!!!!!
We can pop bottles and take selfies later. Todays players are a bunch of faggots. All of them. Including my guys. 
More horse shit. Both guys have power moves and have been dominate inside scorers. Saying they both do it the same is high grade stupidity. Yannis inside game is literally limited to euro steps and spin moves bull rushing thru players and scoring and put backs. LeBrons inside game is comprised of that AND, up and under layups, spin moves around traffic, post up step thrus, post up turn arounds, short jumpers, jab steps and taking guys off dribble. Yannis does none of that. What LeBron did as an inside scorer entailed far more skill and grace then Yannis, who was mainly strength and athleticism..
And this isnt to shit on Yannis.. Its drawing an obvious distinction between their games as scorers.
Major, you keep saying "IS" as in now. I'm talking about earlier Lebron. As in his first 8 or so seasons. Just like where Giannis is now. Lebron's post game wasn't feared like that. His midrange game was decent but he was far from skilled like he became later. Lebron was an Iso at the top of the key, run to the basket while knocking every mf out the way and then complaining if a foul wasn't called(whether right or wrong)
Let's not forget dude has been in the game for damn near 20 years. When he was young, like Giannis, Lebron's offensive game was also limited. He used to do the SAME thing in bull rushing to the rim cuz nobody could stop him. Of course Lebron's game has evolved as I have pointed out but folks like to forget early Bron I see. I wasn't and never will be a Lebron stan cuz all y'all Blind as hell imo
I was just out here calling him the Greek Harden not 2 fucking years ago. Made me eat those words with his performance in the 2021 playoffs. Was happy to dine on those words. Cat ain't showing any bitch antics like a KD/Irving. He went back to the lab, owned shit, and took the fucking Bucks to a 'chip. He will always have that. He did that. Grown man style.
As for Lebron, been watching him since he was the second leading scorer on SV. He was a freshman. Well over 20 years ago. Had a habit since I was in school to check for underclassman and what they were doing since I was in there myself. Still had fam in school at the time, so he was easy to catch. Then bron blew the fuck up.
Jordan said himself this cat was ready for the league at 16 and Lebron came in just 2 years later average 20 without making scoring a primary focus. How soon some forget. He wasn't trucking grown men at 16.
How soon cats forget that James was criticized for being too sharing with the rock. Lebron james was far from the hulk when he came into the league. Cats can go look back at how big he was. His size was overhyped. Cats just going to forget that he had the ability to finish with either fucking hand after blowing past people? Cats going to forget he scored the final 25 points against the Pistons? SCORED. Absolutely wrath of god style.
Yeah, he got better with time, but he could have just crossed cats until oblivion back in 03. He was crossing and pulling up with great efficiency back then, but loved the passing too much. Are cats going to just discount his ballhandling? How he was running fucking PG. Running PG meant he had SKILLS with ballhandling.
And he always think he can get better. Always.
If had a little footwork finesse in his game with his back behind the basket, he would be even more unstoppable.
Ayton, Embiid, and Joker have great footwork in the paint. I would like to see Giannis develop that part of his game a little more. Bulldozing through people or doing that same spin move is going to eventually stop.
I asked you nicely to stop bro.... Well here is literally.. DAY ONE..
50 sec: Drive left with left hand, split defenders, fade away jumper
1:19: Hard dribble right, off balance 15 ft jumper
1:35: Dribble thru traffic, soft floater
4:40: Baby hook runner off right dribble
5:05: Soft touch high glass bank lay up off dribble
5:19: Left hand fadeaway scoop lay up
6:46: Coast to coast up and under lay up
6:56: 12 foot jumper rolling off pick
7:10: Jab step and fucking finger roll over defender.....
I only stopped because im tired of being amazing by this 18 year old nigga.
This was his FIRST GAME EVER. AGE 18... Playing against a near 60 win Sac team being guarded by a 30 year old first team defense Doug Christie.
And not ONE got dam power thru bullrush Yanniss truck move...
Bron at day one year one>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Yannis at year 9.
Never compare their scoring skillset again. EVER Muthafucka.
