So we’re down to one last game. Saturday night. Lebron’s last game in his 30s. If he scores 10 points, he will go his ENTIRE THIRTIES without having a single digit game. Never been done. And we’ll never see it again.- Replying to @TAizenbergThese guys think 2024 Sudan, with NBA players and coached by an NBA assistant looking for a head coaching gig in the NBA, is the same thing as 1992 Angola.
- Their FIRST TAKE was wrong. In clutch time from 3, MJ was: 97: 2-11 98: 1-9 02: 0-2 03: 1-5 Total: 4-27 Lebron’s shot was from 30 feet. From 30+ ft, MJ was: 97: 1-5 98: 0-6 02: 0-1 03: 0-4 Total: 1-16 WHY is it so hard to have honesty in this debate? Why the mythology?"My man MJ would have hit that shot." 😅 @stephenasmith and @ShannonSharpe on LeBron James' final shot in the Lakers' 117-114 loss to the Pistons on Monday.
00:00 - Replying to @CantStopDaRayneYou had a 73 win team and then actively recruited the 3rd best player in the league. 🤦♂️
- Replying to @FirstTake and @stephenasmithIf you truly want to “stop it,” don’t spend 5 minutes on it on your show. Ignore it. But, instead, “as a father,” you rip the kid MORE on national television. It’s despicable. STFU and reach out to Lebron or Rob or JJ or Bronny YOURSELF, if you’re so “concerned.”
- Lebron put up a 26.9 GameScore in the Denver series. We can clearly see he’s compromised. Here’s how that compares to Jordan’s Finals: 1993: 29.6 1991: 29.4 Lebron 2023: 26.9 1992: 25.8 1997: 23.4 1998: 21.4 1996: 18.5 Jordan averaged 24.5. If Lebron is bad…what’s Jordan?
- Replying to @JacobtheclipperKobe blamed all his teammates, constantly. Didn’t even talk to key guys. Lebron stands in front of the press and takes arrows for teammates. Guess which one is real leadership…
- Everyone in the world thought Dr J would destroy Kareem. Unless you fully understood their games. Similar to how Lebron would beat Jordan.
- How Lebron gets defended in the Olympics (doubled)… Versus how Jordan got defended (whatever THIS is). And the corresponding difference in results. What does your “eye test” tell you?
- Replying to @balldontstop“Analytics killed inefficient basketball that wasn’t effective, but was all we knew.”
- So, let’s see…Lebron: “Afraid to shoot.” Nope. “No killer instinct.’” Strange. Lebron is to the higher up and to the right of the biggest “KILLA” known to mankind after 1998. “Not clutch.” Except, Lebron is average across all the most elite players. With FAR more volume.
- Replying to @FirstTake @stephenasmith and @ShannonSharpeYes, yes. Jordan made 100% of his last second shots, particularly from 3. In reality, Jordan was 1-5 from 3 while trailing and taking a shot to tie or win with 3 seconds left or less. 0-1 at this age. The mythology is crazy.
- Are we SURE that “the GOAT” Curry is even the best player on his team? Butler: 14 points in the 4th 9 points in the last 4 minutes Final rebound Curry: ZERO points in the last 6 minutes. Chewed his nails on the bench in the last minute. And look at the WHOLE TEAM guard Curry!
