Well we know Danny Green. 1 good game 3 bad games. But credit to him for keeping it interesting.

On a night he drops 28 the Lakers should be winning by 30
This is exactly the open shots we were trying to tell you guys that Green and others will get this season, but you obviously still do not get the memo

Open shots dont matter if you have this guy on the end of them.

Afterall Nets beat us twice without Kyrie and KD. Does that mean they're better than us? Probably not. I paid no attention to preseason.

Then you are better than Shannon.

Kawhi is undoubtedly the best player in the league, theres no denying that because no one can stake a claim to that based on anything other than past reputation. But i also remember when Steph Curry was the best player in the league.

Suns beating Kings is not a surprise. They added some good players...Rubio, Baynes. And remember they still have Booker and Ayton. Underrated team.

SMH. And why can't Minnesota win the Nets?

LeBron is the best player in the league
Re: The NBA Begins by yomi96(m): 9:33am On Oct 24, 2019
First off, let me say that basketball is a TEAM sport. And yes the bench players are apart of the TEAM. But the starting five scored ONLY 52 points of the 112. The bench scored 60 points. I'm NOT trying to diminish the win. But any real sports person knows that can't continue if they want to win a championship . But nonetheless they got the win and that's ALL that matters!!!

Based on what parameter? Maybe you should be specific by saying according to you. My brother, I know it is difficult to accept but your MCM lost that title last season and has not done anything to show he has regained it this season. The best player in the league is in LA but on the other side.

If he wants that title back he has to snatch it back.

Your so called best player in the league needed a heavily depleted Golden State to win Finals MVP and the title. Is that who you want to bestow that crown on?

As far as I'm concerned LeBron still has the crown and no one has taken it from him. It doesn't take one year to lose a crown, neither does it take one year to win it. Even Curry tried for 4 years and couldn't. KD has been trying since he came into the league but still can't. It's one nigga from somewhere that managed to win one questionable title that wants to collect it. Make I hear abeg.

Oh!! Now it's depleted Golden State? But the Warriors were not depleted when he won in 2016 because the league suspended Draymond with Bogut and Iguodala got injured and Steph playing through knee Injury?

*Laughs in lowercase*.

Kawhi is doing everything LeBron does without the noise but I still got Bron in front because he has been consistent with his performance through the Years. Age is not on his side and you have to accept that.

But you guys ever heard of a healthy Kevin Durant? embarassed

Lebron is not ahead of Kawhi. Lebron's peak is higher than most people's peaks bar Jordan but that he is the best player in basketball today is a big fat lie. He still has his mind in tact so he might still be the most intelligent player on the court but that is where it stops. Anyone arguing against this is just trying to be politically correct or living in denial.

He is not snatching anything back this regular season.

He needs to win a chip for LAL being the best player on the team or else, that title is gone from him for good.

The difference between Kobe and Lebron is just as A 40 said. Kobe is atleast forthright with his egocentrism. Lebron welcomed Curry into the league, invited him to his house, bowled with him, wished him well, tweeted about his shooting prowess- until Curry became the best player in the league. Then all of a sudden Cleveland are down 3-2 to GSW in the NBA finals and Leflop declares "I am not worried about the game 6, because I am the best player in the whole world". I mean what type of tomfoolery is that?

I have a lot to say about Lebron. How he would have had no ring without Ray Allen's clutch shooting, how refs helped him win OKC in 2012 etc. But that would be me downplaying the fact that he is perhaps a basketball savant who refs let have his way when he charges into players anyhow to make his points in the paint grin

Let me stop here.

Yeah i've heard this one before.

I am saying he does not have it in him to make a sustained campaign for being the best player during the regular season.

You know his body cannot take it. So he is better of coasting now and trying to become the best player through the playoffs.

I clearly stated the only reason why I kept LeBron in front and I wasn't talking about peak or potential. We all know Kawhi got that on lock.

It's far too early to crown anyone Champions but I think you're not considering the fact that the Clippers bench is just a bench nominally.

Montrezl Harrell played 38 minutes. Lou Williams finishes games pretty much every time. So guys like Harrell and Williams are part of this 'bench' for show more or less

Lool you can never stop yarnin Okoto meow meow skrrrrrrrr skrr.

The best player in the league is a moving target and no one player's birth right.

Mind you Kawhi was already knocking on the door before injury derailed his campaign in the 2017 playoffs. Maybe you have forgotten the Spurs were blowing out Golden State in Game 1 till he got hurt. He had finished runner up in MVP voting and 3rd in the years leading to his injury.

I was one of the doubters he could return to form but after what he showed last season, he has usurped LeNomad and that fact you need to embrace
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 11:44pm On Oct 24, 2019
The only thing LeNomad is best at in the league right now is flopping. That's why that tiny push from Green had him flying out of bounds the last game

There is no shame in admitting LeBum has been the best player for the most part over the last decade. He has had moments where he wrestled with Curry and KD for that title but for the most part he has held sway. However, he lost that title definitively last season to Kawhi, some like me will argue 2 seasons ago if you consider how much havoc KD wrecked in the NBA 2 seasons ago. This is a new challenge for LeBum and Father Time complicates the process for him. It would be interesting to see how much motivation he truly has to compete with younger bloods. Kawhi runs the NBA and he seems to be on a mission.
