***2024-2025 NBA Season Thread***

[Spaceman Spiff]

Too many opinions tryin to out opinion each other.

I feel what LeBron be saying, and he ain't the only one saying it.

NBA players get shredded no matter what they do these days, why none of them even want to be the face of league, and why LeBron is because he speaks up for his and this generation.

He is a whiney Lil bitch, I hated what I saw when I finally saw him in person. But folks gonna run out of excuses why he ain't the GOAT soon now that he has Luka...he's gonna match Jordan in rings rate he's going finally.

I'm still Jordan is the GOAT, but I've moved back to LeBron can take that title.

It is easier to make hot takes then show genuine appreciation, they don't get nearly the same attention.

Steph doesn't get shredded. Giannis doesn't get shredded. Wemby doesn't get shredded.

If he can match Jordan in rings, great. Took him twice as long to do it. And if rings are the only thing that matters, it's Russell and it's not a conversation.

He'll still never have all of the respect, he'll never have all of...

Right, so this whole generation jus a bunch of snowflakes then...Durant is sure, but Kobe didn't get, neither did Russ?

I like to leave door open for certain folks, to say someone with 50k will never have your respect kinda proves the point of this conversation.

It's not about rings, the resume is growing and I'm wondering what's left at this point. Oh it took too look, what, he's almost as productive as he was in his prime and has been doing this since he was 18.

Will this man ever get his flowers?

I don't know guys, I'm sure it's just coincidental that the Dubs have moved from the 11 spot to the 6 spot since Feb 7th.

What more respect do I need to give him? I already said I respect his game. I respect his accomplishments. Good for him, he's still incredibly productive at his age.

But I don't love the guy the way I loved Jordan. Jordan was must-watch basketball. I've never felt that way with LeBron, I've never felt the need to turn into a Cavs/Heat/Lakers game cause I was excited with what LeBron was going to do.

When he said "I want my damn respect" after he won his Mickey Mouse ring...like dude, who doesn't respect you? And why are you so pressed? What respect are you not getting?



IMO, it's not the respect he doesn't get, it's the love. He doesn't know the difference and neither do his defenders.

Happy to see Steph going on a hot streak and trying to make another run.

MVP

[BraveLilToasterOven]

Still pisses me off Embid won MVP over him; Jokic is the truth in every sense.

Hard agree. I blame Kendrick Perkins.

[Spaceman Spiff]

Give me prime Jokic over prime LeBron.

You gonna be ok, @Renegade7 ?

[Renegade7]

Funny how everything has to be picking a team and all the baggage with it on any particular topic. Easier to shot a fish once you put it in a barrel you're familiar with.

@Spaceman Spiff you and my Dad must of been carpool buddies and still text each other.

He stands no matter what that Prime Jordan is better then Prime LeBron and he'll always be better because of it no matter how many career boxed get checked.

Too early to say Prime Joker is better, but I'm listening. That doesn't mean either will have a better overall career then LeBron or still playing at this level in their 40s.

BTW, I watched Celtics scrape them Lakers last night, that was sad, but doesn't change my position we laughing about now.
