LABron James Discussion: Triple Triple Doubles

Completely unnecessary hate. It makes perfect sense that LBJ is a guy with a lot of turnovers, because he has always been the playmaker throughout his extremely long career. Do you have any idea that Kobe is the person with the most missed shots? The fact that this guy managed to maintain such shape for such years is scandalous! ОК, he doesn't play defense but that's since he left Miami...

Remember, this freak of nature was starting to play in the NBA, from the time when...
KG was in Minnesota and became the MVP
Kobe and Shaq were still together on the Lakers
Reggie Killer was still an active player
No one had seen "Malice at the Palace" yet
Kendall Jenner was still a virgin (it is uncertain )

 

He has no creativity. He has no post game, no foot work, no mid range game. When his superior physicality is neutralized, he has no in between game to turn to.

He's shooting 39.6% in the paint outside the restricted area

He's shooting 37.8% from 8 to 16 feet.

it seems to me that we are taking our arguments from... 39.6% , 37.8%... And ? At the same time, the FG% for a consecutive season is over 50... Points, rebounds and turnovers are also better than his career averages. In the last two seasons, he has also improved his free throws and raised his percentages. Name me five basketball players who have done something similar to 38 !?

 

Kobe was and still is an under rated passer. He made some of the craziest passes I have ever seen. This part of his game was just overshadowed by his scoring game that literally had no weaknesses.

 

lebron knows how to pick his spots, including buying into the lazy three point attempt as a way to maintain "efficiency".

i've been disappointed that he didn't develop a midrange game as he aged. i really thought he'd morph into a smarter karl malone towards the end, but he went with "bigger trae young".

anyway, not really here to throw shade like i think rock is, but i'm also not here to defend all of his choices. his team would be better if he could punish from the elbow and focused more on defense, imo.

 

just demand his trade already n end this klutch nightmare

 

Right. Can't wait to root for a bunch no names and crappy players

 

isnt that whats happening now?

 

I’ll take a roster full of guys like Reaves, T. Bryant, Gabriel, Walker and Max over this mess.

 

No. It’s a bunch of has beens who are still being paid like they are the best in the League.

 

isnt that just another way of saying crappy players? n @Kenzo don't you hate on lebron anyways?

 

I respect the guy and am thankful he saved our sorry a** franchise. Sure thing i loved Kobe/Shaq, Kobe/Pau teams more but without Bron (and AD) this would be a DISASTER of epic proportions. Think Charlotte, Detroit etc...

 

hard to believe when you go so hard at hating on him in game chat

 

if lebron didn't choose to come here, we'd literally be the knicks by now. and we may still end up being the knicks, but at least he helped us stave it off for a while.

 

For speculation purposes, David Aldridge wrote a piece today on hypothetical trades involving Bron. He broke down why team x wouldn't be interested in before getting into who could be interested. It's a long read, so I'm going to keep it strictly to the six teams he says hypothetically could be in play, why, and what players are involved in his thought exercise...

Atlanta

Brooklyn

Chicago

Nawlins

Philly

Phoenix

 

not saying he needs to be traded but if he wants out we should oblige

 

absolutely. i know others disagree, but i think this is a fine ending. he doesn't have to retire here for his stint to have been a success. and if we gracefully oblige a trade request, i don't think it hurts the brand like others have suggested. it is what it is. we currently are not good. we are unwilling to sell out the next decade to get pummeled by boston in the finals, assuming lebron and AD actually make it that far.

 

Everything comes down to rolling the dice on AD's health. If we trade for Bojan and AD and Lebron are healthy for the playoff we would be the best team. Our role players are playing good basketball. I'm just not sure they have the jewels to make that kind of roll and if they do it needs to be soon so we are in the playoffs. Ham being a rookie coach is a bit scary but rookie coaches have won it before.

 

What the hell happened to this guys three ball?? He needs to abandon it from his game now.... And for the record he did get fouled by Christian Wood at the end of the first OT in Dallas on Thursday. The league admitted it

Somehow they are saying the Embiid grab on Russ at the end of last game was incidental contact though? BS
