EYE was not saying they were normal people like the jokesters on Twitter. There are just levels. I would say:
Normal folks <<< Drew League Comp <<<< Summer League comp on aggregate <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< an active Top 3-5 player all-time and a player coming of a 2nd Team All-NBA season. Furthermore, them practicing more than Bron should have no bearing on the fact that he SHOULD be able to dominate them with ease.
I am not downgrading the competition, I am just saying that I do not understand why folks are saying “he looked good” or “he is putting in summer work as always” when the outcome should have been suspected.
I feel you, but when you have players like Ben Simmons who refuses to work on his game, and guys who get fat in the summer i.e., Harden & Luka you’re going to get those takes. At this point, Bron going out there has absolutely nothing to gain and everything to lose. Dude is 37 and just became a billionaire. He could easily be vacationing or practicing in a private gym so people are going to gas that.
Plus, putting on a free show for people that likely won’t ever get to see him that close is dope as hell. His love for the game is real cause a lot of NBA guys won’t do that.
