THE 2015 NBA PRE SEASON THREAD: BEST WISHES TO LAMAR ODOM

[statis22]

Dude compared Lebron's minutes fresh off of 12 seasons & 5 straight NBA finals appearances to a Duncan off of a 50 game season nonetheless his 2nd season in the league.

I'm sorry man that's not even a fair comparison.

 

[abematic]

lebron has never been a great 1 on 1 defender though. He's always been overrated. Always. And the fact he's able to get away with so much contact only fuels it. He's a much better help defender/ peg in a team defensive scheme.

If only so much more of his fans can accept that reality. 

Oh, and that, "Lebron defends the Center position." 

 

[Jokegeta]

What makes me start to think Lebron has a better career than Kobe is

Lebron's 4 NBA MVPs to Kobes 1 NBA MVP

Kobe basically has 2 rings as the undisputed leader of his team, same as Lebron

Lebron has better stats all across the board

I couldn't see Kobe carrying the 2007 or 2015 Cavaliers teams to the NBA Finals

When you start lobbying for Kobe the only talking point you have is rings but Kobe had an all time great co-pilot while winning them

ALL OF THIS.
Forget Kobe hurt, rapist @#$!@!

i know. cant they understand lebron was tired. duncan was not tired. not a fair comparison. 

 

[letsgetit22]

like i said . excuses for lj. one of the best athletes in the world got tired .

 excuses .sounds just like peyton manning fans.   

If that's towards me... I'm actually a 49ers fan. Never liked PM. Not even a LJ fan either. Just think he receives unfair criticism.

Dude posting other players who have played over 45 minutes as well doesn't prove anything. With the exception of GP, none of them had to run the offense and defend the other teams best player on defense. Whether LB played good defense is subjective. No one can stop Steph Curry. Not even the great point defender GP.

Being an elite team defender is way more useful than being a great one on one defender. And even then - prime LBJ was top notch on his man. His last year in Miami and this year in Cleveland he's noticeably slipped though. Big time.

 

[tomdiginson]

for the past two years the guy lebron was guarding in the finals has won finals mvp

I had to rep you for this.

This. Dude blames his teammates for his own personal shortcomings

its not that lebron wasnt able to stop steph, he didnt even make an effort to try

he didnt play any defense all series, every person on that list was a better two way player than 2015 lebron

someone post the gif of lebron literally standing straight up like he was waiting in line for the iphone 6 as steph walked by for an open layup

Went from Spurs supposedly being overrated to Duncan vs Kobe now Lebron vs Kobe,classic

 

[art vandelay]

That picture of Melo will never be old. It can not not ever be funny.

 

[Jokegeta]

Thunder could have been up 2-0

 

[everysingletime]

Kwahi Leonard
Jimmy Butler
Tony Allen

Those 3 are better than Lebron James on defense.. 1 on 1 defense. 

Lebron may be better than all 3 on HELP Defense. 

This might be true, my friend.

But I don't think he's that much better than the three mentioned on help defense to need to point that out. KL Jimmy and Allen are not shabby at all when it comes to help defense.

 

[nick.]

art vandelay didn't your sn used to be all lowercase?

 

[sea manup]

skip to 13:55. this is literally the worst example of poor help defense you will ever see in your basketball watching lives 

 

[mister friendly]

I don't remember Lebron guarding Iguodala that much in the 2015 NBA Finals

I believe Mozgov guarded him alot

 

[sea manup]

I don't remember Lebron guarding anyone that much in the 2015 NBA Finals
