@Chuckee202@FTFonFS1@NickFriedell You haters are just gonna have to wait
And the Lakers are gonna be shit without Lebron, so you better hope they find a way to bring him back
“If this Lakers team blows a 3-0 lead to this Rockets team and you don’t even have Durant on the floor, good luck to LeBron scrubbing this one out because this will be a stain on a lot of what he has done.”
@NickFriedell explains:
I (admittedly) care about lists more than most, and I get irrationally upset at how many folks casually throw around “Top 10 All Time” and use it to refer to ~15 players.
So, inspired by Jokic, I made this. A nice tiered list of 22 NBA legends, and where each is in that debate.
Rich Paul doesn’t think blowing a 3-0 lead to the Rockets will affect LeBron’s legacy:
“LeBron’s legacy is etched in stone since 2016… I see a lot of guys on shows who talk. I want to come up with a rule, if you weren’t better than the player you’re talking about, you shouldn’t be able to talk about him. That’d eliminate 99.9% of the ex players that talk about him.”

Lakers purposely lost Game 5 (More rest for Luka)
Go close out Houston in Game 6
Steal game 1 in OKC
Win out our 2nd round home games
Beat OKC in 7 games
Demolish Spurs in 5 games (Lakers in 5)
Yo wassup NBA Finals we here
Chad ochocinco tells Shannon sharpe you can’t use LeBron James being 41 years old as crutch when things don’t go well like tonight with the Houston rockets .
"We can't keep throwing out his age as a crutch every time things don't go right"
Ocho interrupts Shay-Shay's nightly LeBron cap session to tell him what we been tellin these mfs since they started the age slurp when he turned 37
RIGHT!!

.@Chris_Broussard breaks down his takeaways from Lakers-Rockets weekend:
“LeBron is smarter than ever. I think he’s as skilled, at least as skilled as he’s ever been… But the body, as much as he’s defied Father Time, it still is not what it used to be.”
