I didn't bring this up because I wanted the conversation to keep going. If I had a gun to my head and they asked me who has more skill between LeBron and KD, I'd be willing to risk it.

I dont think its even close. Durant has remained a gunslinger, not much else

Jordan didn't have to fight the dragon. He was the dragon. Hope that helps Draymond

cool

The funny thing about this is.
During the Dominant Era of the warriors, Lebrons Team were not even the second best Team in the NBA. They were only running into the warriors because the warriors greatest opposition were in the west.
If Lebron had played in the West with the Cavs, he would not make the finals with the Cavs.

It's actually an indictment on Lebron that his teams are never considered dominant and somehow someway no matter who they face he's somehow always expected to lose. No matter who he has on his side

With the Heatles how do you have Wade, Bosh in their primes and later on Ray Allen and somehow you're still the underdog to 23 year old Russ and KD grin cheesy

Even look at 2016 you have Kyrie and Love and yet you're supposed to lose to niggas half your size grin cheesy

I wonder what the Bulls' record looked like with Jordan not playing

Do you realize what you're saying is LeBron reached the Finals consistently despite his team not being the best or second best smiley

Anyway, below is LeBron's Finals opponents net rating vs MJ's Finals opponents net rating. So Draymond is actually speaking facts not fiction

Anytime they drop their phony propaganda we're surely down to counter with what's really real.

I no even include 15 and 16 that they were also favorites going into the campaign ahead of the Warriors. The idea and narrative that he is some kind of David always going against Goliath needs to die

Thoughts and prayers for Bronny and the James family. Kid is too young to be dealing with a cardiac arrest. I understand he is out of the ICU now and that is progress.
Re: The NBA Begins by benji93: 4:36pm On Jul 25, 2023
How about you stop posting about your guy here? Una no get whatsapp group? As long as you dump it here it's everyone's concern. The important question to ask you is, who hasn't swept Lebron? cheesy grin. He got swept by Curry and company, you complain, then he got swept Jokic and company. If your guy no dey careful, he go take him last lap gather sweeps. grin

Wow. This is terrible news. Just the other day I saw Shaka Hislop collapse on live TV

Life is a lottery and sadly no such thing as too young. Let's just be thankful he's alright. And wishing him full recovery

Playing hoops I know the warning signs my chest gave me back then so I know we troll but these guys do put their lives on the line everytime.

You be Celtics fan so you probably know all too well about these things
Re: The NBA Begins by benji93: 4:40pm On Jul 25, 2023

I am actually not trying to censor, far from it. I am sure I wouldn't want anyone to do that to me. I was suggesting that as an option if they don't want us to comment. cheesy grin. Send am to your whatsapp group. Very simple.

I don't understand why ESPN required Shaka and the team to wear suits under this impossible summer heat where some cities are averaging triple digits. Shaka looked like he suffered heat exhaustion but I am glad he is ok. They should wear business casual/ relaxed clothing during summer, especially when they are outdoors.

I still play pick up hoops and football, the latter more frequently over the weekend and it is not easy, especially under this heat.

Jaylen Brown just signed the richest contract in the history of the league. His supermax contract extension is 5 yr/ $304 Million. The team has shown you they appreciate, it is now your turn to show up in the post season and get it done.

There goes your chances of winning a title unless He drastically improves His ball handling skills. With regards to the second part of your post, He was your best player in the finals last year vs the warriors to be fair to Him.

ESPN their wahala too much. Never understood the need to wear suits at sporting events unless you're like executive management  That will be like a Doctor wearing suits to the theater. It makes absolutely no sense

Person gats to always listen to your body the older you get cos it whispers before it yells

Golf na the only thing I dey play these days. I no fit shout. One of my paddy tore an ACL on the court sometime ago. Do you know how ridiculous it is to tear an ACL as a 9-5er. 😂😂

Just last month they wanted us to believe Joker won because he is Lebron plus Tim Duncan plus Kobe plus Magic. Not that he has a stacked 2 all-star teams in one roster. But I knew they would tire of self capping, and return to attack the real king. Issokay grin
