[kungfugrip]

I haven't looked yet but I'm hoping Kuzma was part of the deal

[Geno]

Ya. Kuzma. Montrez. And KCP as well as a 2021 first round pick.

Lakers get westbrook
A 2024 first round and a 2028 first round

Im stoked yo. Westbrook is one of my favorite players to watch. Hes gonna bring the facilitation that LA desperately needed. We need a 3 point shooter though. Badly

[kungfugrip]

Huge. I'm reading now

[Smod of War]

How much help does Lebum need smh

[kungfugrip]

How much help does Lebum need smh

Alot

[Geno]

As much as the next man obv this is the nba, duh

[Geno]

Sounds like they might still scoop Melo also as an off bench scorer. Lol

[uh-oh]

it'll be interesting seeing how him and lebron get along

[UPN Zuch]

As much as the next man obv this is the nba, duh

Tell that to Giannis. He had zero all-stars. Lebron needs at least 2 hall of fame teammates at a time.

[uh-oh]

He didn't need em back when he was bodying your pistons regularly

[kungfugrip]

Everyone bodies the Pistons regularly

[Bomb Bard]

HOLY FUCK! Hoooooooooollllllllyyyyy fuuuuuuuuck!!!

[UPN Zuch]

He didn't need em back when he was bodying your pistons regularly

Oh I remember that year. Pistons had already won their NBA title, and then Lebron went on to get embarrassingly swept by the Spurs in the finals.


So I’ll ask again, what has he won WITHOUT the help of two hall of famers.

[kungfugrip]

Bro i need that Malice at the Palace doc

[UPN Zuch]

One of the most embarrassing team performances in Finals history.

Cavs scored 76, 92, 75, 82 points. Respectively.

[UPN Zuch]

Bro i need that Malice at the Palace doc

Took way too long for it, honestly. Pistons/Pacers legitimately hated each other. I love watching them beat the shit out of those trash ass fans though. So deserved. That guy thought he could poor beer on a professional athlete and receive no instant karma lmao.

[kungfugrip]

Lebron is statistically way better than Jordan

However

There are some things that cant be measured in stats

Its hilarious tho, artest hit the wrong guy, that other Indy guy with the slide punch, it was so much goodness

[UPN Zuch]

Jordan

30 ppg
6 rpg
5 apg
2.3 spg

Lebron

27 ppg
7 apg
7 rpg
1.5 spg



What stats are you referring to exactly?

[kungfugrip]

Jordan Totals LeBron
1,072 Games 1,310
32,292 Points 35,367
6,672 Rebounds 9,751
5,633 Assists 9,696

Thats what im referring to

The only argument is rings

Give this man his respect

Lebron has been in the league since 18 my guy, he’s played 3 full years more. Not to mention Jordan took a year off for baseball.

I just gave you the per game stats.

Lebron is great, but he’s not Jordan.

[UPN Zuch]

Lmao @ you saying WAY better statistically and then listing TOTALS as your argument.

You’re better than this. I’m out.

[kungfugrip]

Thats exactly what i said.

Im not arguing hes better than Jordan, he is, however, better than Jordan on paper. He is certainly not a better basketball player than Jordan, but he deserves ALOT more respect than what he gets

Oh I remember that year. Pistons had already won their NBA title, and then Lebron went on to get embarrassingly swept by the Spurs in the finals.


So I’ll ask again, what has he won WITHOUT the help of two hall of famers.


Who has won a championship without two hall of famers? Casual.

[uh-oh]

is bosh a hall of famer tho, who did he have with the lakers other than eyebrow guy, and is eyebrow guy a hall of famer?

these are actual questions im very casual with bball

[bare ryu]

gonna be really good for the lakers once they make moves to get some shooters. i expect drummond to be waived or moved this offseason

[Pharaohs Army]

Tell that to Giannis. He had zero all-stars. Lebron needs at least 2 hall of fame teammates at a time.

Um...Middleton and Holiday are stars.

Edit* Yes, I know they weren't ALL-stars this year. But they are certainly great players that helped him win. Check out the game 5 box score. Or Middleton's 40 point game.

[Geno]

Werd at middleton and jrue.

But also, major word uh-oh lakers retort.

To answer.. no, the brow is not a hall of famer, yet. And he had rondo besides A.D (playoff rondo is a big problem) but ...thats it as far as truely memorable players goes tbh. Were talking a team of kuzma,, danny green, KCP, caruso (my dude!) And a few other nobodies i cant even think of. I mean come on


Lakers will be champs next year if they can find a couple cheap/relaible 3 shooters to spread the floor a bit. Even without them, the driving and passing abilities they will bring now is just insane. With a shooter, it shouldnt be any contest
