The 2014-2015 NBA Season Thread. Lock It Up Please: The Golden State Warriors Are The Champions

[offset pow clow]

Jordan played every game, and I had the pleasure of actually seeing him do it.

Guess how old he was during the flu game?

We're talking about athleticism, was jordan still flying in 97? His 12th season in the league?

I think he felt like he didnt have to

Its like yall couldnt wait to say bron is losing a step as soon as yall dont see him dunking every possession

 

[Lovetohate3000]

Now your comparing a rb whose position is the shortest lifespan in the league to a immobile qb. Hell punters and kickers play till they 40plus.....

Being there, he still had the first step, and yes, he was still dunking over people, with regularity.

So answer this question, you do not think that throwing a football, is somehow athletic?

My position isn't coming from anti LeBron sentiment. My position on LeBron is that there is something wrong. He and Rose are the only reason I want to presently watch NBA hoops, and I feel that LeBron is having shoe issues right now.

 

[Lovetohate3000]

Lj best days are easily behind him.

I'm curious which sport you think is more physically demanding over a career: Boxing or basketball? Answer honestly.

2-3 month training camp plus 2 fights a yr =/= running up & down a basketball court, jumping, getting elbowed etc for 8-9 months a year

Quarterbacks don't get hit?!

Different sports boxing and basketball. Ones full contact ....
there will never be a 37 year old baller who is the best player in the world...
but the boxing champ is 37....

what does that say about boxing.

Jordan started using the fadeaway just so he didnt have to use his athleticism all the time & no he was not dunking on dudes with regularity at 34

 

[Lovetohate3000]

Do QB gets hit 20 plus time a game?... Average career of a QB and rb.... Rb fall off at 29-30...qbs can play till they 40, plus they protected by the rules...

stop playing dumb bro.

He added the fade as a weapon, not to offset his supposed decline in athleticism. He still jumped very high, in order to shoot that fade.

He still dunked over Ewing, in AJ1's, AT the Garden, and he still defended the perimeter, against the opposing teams best perimeter player.

All of that takes explosiveness and athleticism, at the highest level.

So jordan can do it at 34 but bron cant do it at 29

pippen was guarding the teams best perimeter player im done with you tho

Okay, looking at those numbers, LeBron should NOT be in decline then, considering the sport he plays does not allow such contact, correct?

Running backs are tremendous athletes.

No, see, I now see that you have no clue as to what you speak, because Pippen would guard the best THREE, in the defensive scheme, as MJ was the two, guarding the likes of Mullin, Richmond, Miller, Drexler, and the rest.

If you are going to debate, at least do a bit of research first.

just because pippen was a sf thats the only position he was capable of guarding?

Jordan wasnt guarding the best perimeter player since he was the #1 option and had to carry the team on offense

You are simply digging a deeper hole for yourself.

You do not know what you are talking about.

You are making yourself look incredibly ill prepared. I implore you to go and do some research.

Surely, you are not talking about me.

 

[Arthur Shelby]

Andrew Wiggins ( also i didn't think the Pelicans could be up so much against any team like this)

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Not bad from Wiggins, even though his team was down 50 in all those highlights

 

[offset pow clow]

When he hit jrue with the d wade

 

[buc em]

You are delusional if you don't think LeBron looks like he's either lost a step athletically or there's something physically wrong with him so far this year. His explosion and lift just looks terrible right now compared to what it usually has been. He's only getting by guys on brute strength right now. Somethin ain't right with him...

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

There's nothing wrong with LeBron, he's just getting older and the mileage is showing. It's only natural to lose a step after you've played as many games, playoff games and International games as he has.
