Lmaoo. How many times has Russell Westbrook led the league in assists? Yet no one with a functional brain calls him a pass first player

Una no go kill person with akpuruka punditry. Michael Jordan played in an era where players had fixed roles. A PG was a PG, a SG was a SG. Your team's leading shot attempts taker was typically a shooting guard. Russell Westbrook 6'3 was not averaging more boards and dragging rebounds with Steven Adams.

Michael Jordan averaged 11 assists in an NBA Final series out assisting Magic Johnson the GOAT PG. You're high on fentanyl if you think Michael Jordan couldn't lead the league in assists if he wanted in this era.

Let's even overlook the fact that the triangle unlike the standard PnR teams play today doesn't allow for 1 single player racking up high number of assists. Go and check any player who's played in the triangle and finished top 10 in assists.

Besides in what planet will Lebron lead the league in assists with a John Stockton in the league

The scoring argument is laughable. Having that killer mentality to take as many shots as it will take to win a game requires a different level of mentality. When you take the most shots. There is no teammate to blame, if you lose it's your fault. Very few players are built for that smoke every night

Jordan did not play in the 3pt era. Explains why he needed 27 shots to get to 37ppg. Common sense

And for the record nobody cares if LeNomad likes let him take 45 shots per game. We're seeing the results. 5 games under .500 this season. 33-49 last season. Make e fire down
They're losing and he's still not winning the scorer's title

The man is spamming 3s and losing games and this joker thinks we're complaining.

Same way nobody considers Alan Shearer the PL GOAT for being it's record scorer is the same way no real fan considers LeNomad the GOAT. There are levels to this

Interestingly breaking the three-point record gained more traction than the scoring record. Lefans are pained. And he dey sweet me.

It's a longevity stat. That's all. You played 300 more games and took almost 3000 more FGs than someone aren't you supposed to pass their record?

This nigga has taken 500 fewer shots but almost 6500 more 3s than Kareem and 5500 more 3s than Jordan. Yet niggas are surprised he has more points.

3 team trade! Westbrook off to Utah for D. Lo and a 2027 1st round pick.

The same D. Lo.. At this point, I doubt the Lakers have any 1st round picks left until the foreseeable future. I think they had this 2027 and 2029 left. To imagine the bulk of this era has been spent on the wrong end of the table..

Did anyone force MJ to retire 2x? Or was there any rule against Kareem shooting 3s. It's a record, a substantial one at that,and he broke it. Not only has he broken it, he will be the first to achieve the 40k club sometime next season.

See how Blake Griffin is spamming 3s and making 5 3pters in a game.

When we tell you lot that volume is all that separate players now and the past people will be arguing.

You think Shawn Kemp, Jordan, Barkley and other old cats couldn't shoot 33% from 3 if they took 6 a game? You're telling me they can't make 2 3s? Gerrarahia

He lost his father in tragic circumstances after a 3peat. That would definitely shake anyone

It's not his fault he actually had a present father that he wanted to honor by playing baseball. Some people can't relate but we're not saying it's their fault.

Second 3peat. Again what else did Jordan have to prove?

Jordan was never pursuing Kareem's record. He's secure in his GOATness. The only thing he chased was titles. After achieving your objective you retire. There's no rule that says you must play for 200 years like Bron just cause he's trying to catch a ghost that keeps evading him.

Kareem and Jordan not shooting 3s provide important context for those that want to be objective.

Whether he reaches 40k no consign anybody. They're accumulation stats. Alan Shearer is alltime PL goalscorer and his record might never be broken. He's not considered the PL GOAT.

Hmmm. Kyrie not looking bad at all.

I really want to see how the team shapes up with Kyrie and Luka. This will either be a trainwreck or something special

KD to suns! yoooooooo!!!!! These trades are killing me. We've gotten ourselves a proper WCF with Mavs, Suns and Nuggets in the Mix. Ja Morant had better take his pen and paper out and learn how its done. I pray Bucks or Celtics will be ready. Hot damn!!!

M.J fans are now taking subtle shots at LeBron for not having a "present father". I knew these people were scumbags but I didn't know they could decend this low, especially on this thread. Tragic.

The nets franchise is the dumbest franchise ever, how the fu*k will you trade Durant to Phoenix without getting Booker in return.

Just happy CP3 will now have a better chance of getting a ring that will secure his legacy.

Although I fear they may ends up like the 21 Nets

Olodo rabata. I kuku knew that's where this animal was going to take it.

Anyway that is still better than Bronsexuals that link MJ to his old man's death. I mean one of them did it on this thread korokoro and the baboon crying now did not call him out on it.

I didn't kuku lie. And I didn't say it's his fault. Werey

Ja said they're good in the West

Talk about hot takes gone cold

This is an incredible trade though. 4 first round picks. But man oh man. Mikal Bridges is quite the loss.

Anyway this is essentially a super team. Kevin Durant has no excuse

The Nets got the value and more for the Slimreaper!

Suddenly the Suns look alive again! The Grizzlies need to do something because they look poor when compared to the Nuggets/Suns/Warriors.

I no dey stan Oshi!

The way I see it, they Suns will be all attack little defence. Jae crowder and Bridges were the major perimeter defenders. Good luck getting CP3 and KD to go down low on defence.

You can make an argument against CP3 showing up because of his age, not anything else because he was a great defender when he was younger, man ranked up there in steals. However, definitely not against KD, he is a better defender than people give him credit. He was the 2nd best defender with the Nets, particularly under the rim. Bridges/ Jae are huge misses on the defensive end and they will miss Johnson's 3 ball but they still have a good roster with complimentary pieces that can help them on defense.

The Suns just got a whole lot better.

Analyse this photo critically and you'll see that LeBron didn't/doesn't go to the free throw line as often as his peers. Peep MJ, who played 5 fewer seasons than Bron and yet he's just a few hundreds behind him. What about Kobe, he played 20 years but had some injury plagued seasons, and he also wasn't the main guy right off the block when he came into the league but he's a couple of hundreds ahead of Bron. Let's not even talk about Jerry West who played 14 seasons.

Speaking of Harden, all the man is doing this season is lead the league in Assists but somehow did not make the All Star roster?

If him vex now begin spam him 3's and refuse to pass, dem go say him no sabi play and is a bad team mate

This was just last year man, jeez. LeBron don suffer

Very interesting rash of trades

Celtics saw Muscala cook the Lakers and felt it was a good idea to trade for him

Crowder to the Bucks. Called for this one for a while.

The Lakers moving their starting center to give Jokic a solid backup I certainly didn't see coming. Vanderbilt is definitely not an upgrade on Bryant. He's a solid rebounder but that's about it. If AD gets injured o pari

donlittle25:
if he no make playoffs, we go take am laugh o.

Me sef I go laugh. They need to at least make playoffs imo

Durant is on this table as well. Must get to the Finals otherwise what would be the point

so....right now its looking like Mavs-Suns in round 1 playoffs. Oh, I love dis game

Shaq and Lebron had one problem in common career wise. They got way less foul calls than what they should have gotten

You no wan even pity them and allow them enjoy one day? Have mercy na?

John Wall is back!!! After doing podcast trashing all the rookies. He called the rockets BEYOND TRASH like a month ago.

Man, this is going to be awkward

They will probably buy him out and he lands with the Heat or somewhere. Who knows? Depending on Porter's injury

Reggie Jackson for Mason Plumlee

Patrick Beverley for Mo Bamba

A buyout is what Im thinking as well. I would have preferred Lakers, but with DeAngelo Russell on board I dont think they need more guards

Pat Bev is gone. Nooooooooo. I enjoyed watching him on the Lakers

I need to see that first meeting

What is the plan of your Rockets? I mean, which direction are you guys heading?
