According to bbref, Magic played PG for 8 of his 12 seasons. Not 1 out of 17 like LeBron

This isn’t the first season Lebron has played as PG

LeBron Is Great At Everything — Even Point Guard

A handful of years ago, I analyzed which historical players LeBron James was most similar to in order to figure out how the legend might transition from his pri…

Looked into it - Of the 23 #1 WNBA picks, 12 of them have an ASG and All-WNBA, 6 have just an ASG and only 5 haven't made an ASG (two of which were picked in 2017 and 2019). Odd are that New York has a real one with Ionescu

Those up in arms about the idea of Steph not being considered a 1 but scoffing at the idea of Lebby being considered a 1: How? What the problem is? Steph is a phenomenal shooter who does NOT shoulder the responsibility of setting up the offense. Lebby does. I mean...

Why wouldn’t you consider Steph Curry a PG?

I do.

I'm curious why you would quote that whole thing I said and then ask a question based on something I didn't say.

Are you one of those people who considers Steph at PG but scoffs at the idea of Lebby being a PG? Because if not, then I'm even more curious why you would quote me and respond. But if you do, then do you want to answer the question I originally asked? Especially since I've answered yours.

If not, no worries. Just curious.

Man I don’t know how we are going to be able to hoop or when

Movie theaters? Yikes.

Just because they reopen doesn’t mean people will go.

And the movie theaters could also limit the number of people permitted in a screening so there’s space between everyone.

All that said, I wouldn’t be rushing out to the movies if I was a Texan.

No movie theaters for me for the foreseeable future

All I can picture is that scene in Outbreak

Yes the hell they will. Baby strollers have warnings on them to remove the child before folding the stroller up.

People don't think.

Have any of y’all been to a park recently? Thinking about going to the park to run. Good or bad idea?

 

[wavycrocket]

I do.

I'm curious why you would quote that whole thing I said and then ask a question based on something I didn't say.

Are you one of those people who considers Steph at PG but scoffs at the idea of Lebby being a PG? Because if not, then I'm even more curious why you would quote me and respond. But if you do, then do you want to answer the question I originally asked? Especially since I've answered yours.

If not, no worries. Just curious.

I scoff at the idea that LeBron would have AT least 2 more championships to his already 3... if he played PG . And that was the discussion the other day in here. But He’s essentially functioned as a de facto PG at various stages in his career in the traditional sense. I don’t scoff at that. Being a PG is a lot more than getting assist or being a point forward tho. There’s some subtleties within in it. He’s a lead ball handler, that can do a bit of everything due to his versatility. Semantics at this point. But I’m not trying to keep this convo and have some of our resident simple jacks, like QU!K carry on with nonsense. I mean...the
Guy leading this tirade, is the guy who said this:

Even Westbrook is a better point guard than Steph.

You can call him the greatest shooter all you want

Just don’t call him an elite point guard

But I was responding to the comment you made that said Steph is a phenomenal shooter who does NOT shoulder the load of setting up an offense. That’s not true. I simply wanted to point out the other ways in which he actually does. That’s all.

I’m tide of this. Y’all can’t keep pulling me back into these convos .

Go.

Unless you have the worst luck on planet earth nobody is going to be sneezing out Covid particles for you to run into right before you run past them.

 

[wavycrocket]

So you basically confirmed my point that

PG Lebron > PG steph

thanks mo

do rey mi fa so la sit your *** down stupid dummy (balitimore slang not a personal insult)

FYI Westbrook is going to finish above Steph in all-time assists

Probably depends on how large and occupied the area is TBH.

As long as you're staying TF away from people you're okay.

 

[QU!K]

Rank these 3 players as PG

Steph, Magic, and Lebron

I'm with you.

And that was the discussion the other day in here.

I get that, but I wasn't part of that discussion. If I were, I could totally see how you would think my question earlier was doubling down on that.

I know it's tough remembering specifically who said what in a public forum, though. No worries.

He’s essentially functioned as a de facto PG at various stages in his career in the traditional sense. I don’t scoff at that. Being a PG is a lot more than getting assist or being a point forward tho. There’s some subtleties within in it. He’s a lead ball handler, that can do a bit of everything due to his versatility.

Agreed.

30% of all coronavirus cases worldwide are in America. 25% of all the deaths worldwide have occurred in America due to the 5% mortality rate here, higher than the 2-3% rate Republicans keep touting and telling us isn't that bad. 22 million people filed for unemployment in the last month which will send the unemployment rate from ~4% up to a whopping ~15%. There's still a shortage of tests and medical supplies and a vaccine is estimated to be a year away.

But hey, the reddest state in the country, headed by a Trump sycophant who thinks sex toys should be banned but everyone should have a gun, is going to let groups of no more than 5 people start meeting to hike, get plastic surgery, go shopping and MAYBE go get a bite to eat after the movies. So congratulations man, this is a big win for you, I hope you're happy.

The fetishizing of the physical play in the 90's is insane I seriously think people didn't watch hoop back then (I didn't either, young pup) but I've watched PLENTY of games from those eras and those fights much like today were rare, and a lot of pushing and shoving.

Can you imagine steph with a shorter 3pt line like they had a few of those years in the 90's? With those handles and shooting off the bounce? Ha
