Weirdos will try to find something wrong with this

Exactly just ppl with their own insecurities

 

[friscostylez]

Idk to me it sounds like it doesn't affect him anymore because he knows no matter what the majority won't ever consider him GOAT, so he's not chasing it anymore. I didn't think it sounded arrogant. Props to him for being a family man.

 

[MVP]

I don’t know why but even though I agree with his answer, he comes off as so arrogant. It’s almost like he knows those Finals losses will hinder him from GOAT Consideration so he’s downplaying them by biging up how he’s a family man.

The media is complicit in this. They've successfully brainwashed a sizeable portion of the viewership that it's fine just getting there and getting washed.

He himself has said he has a long ways to go before he catches MJ so people just arguing with themselves as far as that goes.

Still miles ahead of r8pist with only 3 rings

 

[addict4sneakers]

Miles is very good, but Robert Williams is overrated

You have them backwards.

Robert Williams is going to be a double double machine out the gate as long as he isn’t drafted by the Kings

 

[akajae]

Lebron is gonna end his career with only 3 rings.

shame.

Sports media has always bent over backwards to defend LeBron. It's so much better now than it was during his first Cleveland stint. That was truly unbearable.

shame.

That’s more than every current superstar in the NBA.

Shame he got 3, should only have 1.

Williams has almost no offense besides put backs. The fat center on A&M even has more moves on the block than him

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

Lebron gotta have his jersey retired next week if r8pist got two numbers. Dude was never the best player of any season.

 

[BIG FISH]

stats may not show it but I definitely think Kobe was the best in 06.

Nah dude was buns

 

[akajae]

you just started watching basketball tho

It’s 2018. Your big doesn’t need post moves. Defend the rim, run the floor, catch the lob

 

[BIG FISH]

People that still think big men need to be able to play in the post in 2017

I like them both and think they're rated fairly. Bridges might project to be like a 10+ pick in the next draft right now, that's fair. Too reliant on his shot right now but he has tools

 

[freeze]

Memba dudes were saying warriors were in trouble and cavs had their number based on this win

Kyrie though

People that still think big men need to be able to play in the post in 2017

They need to at least be able to once in a while.

 

[BIG FISH]

They need to at least be able to once in a while.

I disagree.
I think you have to be able to do atleast one of two things:
Protect the rim or spread the floor.
The big men coming up now can do both (KP, Embiid, Turner, Boogie, AD, KAT).

You can pass to any of them on the block and have them get buckets for you though...so idk what you mean by that.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Williams projects to be of the Gobert, Jordan, Capela type: he should be a $100 million dollar man at some point in his career

Turner? No
Other bigs like Hassan, Deandre, Gobert, Capela, and Drummond aren’t that good on the block either.
You don’t need a post game to be effective as a big in 2017.

 

[BIG FISH]

I guess you have to be able to post up smaller guys to make switches less effective but that’s really it.
