@NBACARTALK Lmao Kobe blew a 3-1 and got outplayed by Leandro Barbosa cry 😂😂😂🫵

Without Shaq or Pau, he never won a series against anyone, just fwiw. Y’all getting carried away with this 50-win thing.


Quick timeline of the takes surrounding Lakers-Rockets, with a prediction on tomorrow’s. April 17th: “The Lakers have NO chance. They’ll be lucky not to be swept.” April 20th: “If LeBron pulls this off I’ll call him the GOAT.” April 22nd: “The Rockets are frauds!” April 25th: “The Rockets are the dumbest team I’ve ever seen! Anyone would beat them!” April 30th: “The Lakers are cooked & LeBron is exhausted. Rockets in 7.” May 1st: “LeBron is going to blow a 3-0 lead & his GOAT case is over!” May 2nd: “Yeah, the Lakers won, but it’s actually not that impressive, the Rockets were pretenders.”


Nikola Jokic is one of the all-time greats: 8x All-Star 7x All-NBA 2023 NBA Champion 2023 Finals MVP 3x MVP 2023 WCF MVP 2026 AST Champ 61-10-10 Game Make no mistake, this is one of the greatest players of this era, his era.



31 year old seasons from “all time greats” Jordan: finishing his 1st three peat Lebron: 2 titles, 5 straight finals Kobe: 4th championship Duncan: defending his 3rd title Dirk: 2011. KG: 2008 Boston Olajuwon: MVP&DPOY, first of 2 titles Jokic: loses to Minnesota 1st round. 🤨


Nick Wright on the lack of relationship between Michael Jordan and LeBron James: “Just my speculation here. I think that Jordan became less and less comfortable with LeBron’s place in the basketball ecosystem as LeBron started getting closer and closer and closer to becoming the people’s choice for greatest player ever. I always felt one of the reasons Jordan embraced Kobe was not only did Kobe model his entire game and at times his persona after Jordan, it was very clear relatively early that Kobe was never going to, like Kobe’s ceiling in the eyes of the majority was going to be second to Jordan. And so Jordan felt comfortable putting his arms around him. There was no threatening of his stature. And it’s not lost on anyone that people had been trying to make the last dance forever. That footage had been around forever and Jordan did not okay it until two days after the 3-1 comeback against the Warriors. The story is that it was the day of the Cavs parade that Jordan finally green lit that. So I think there’s always been a little uncomfortableness, but I think it is very interesting that LeBron is saying, “I hope I made him proud.” (Via @WhatsWrightShow)







Michael Jordan is not available. When the pressure is on, who’s the most ”clutch” NBA player of all time?🧐



@NBACARTALK Didn't kobe blow a 3-1 lead?



LeBron is confused as to why people would rather see him lose in the first round or miss the playoffs than lose in the Finals. "Like, people will really rather you not make the playoffs or lose in the first round than to lose in the Finals, which is crazy to me. And I almost feel like, is it because it's me? Everybody has to say something about my career: 'Oh, well, he made eight straight Finals, but he was only able to win three.' 'He's the leading scorer in NBA history, but he's played 23 years.'"

Shannon sharpe destroys the LeBron James haters for always trying to discredit his GOAT status and use longevity as a excuse. You think Michael Jordan , Kobe Bryant and magic Johnson wouldn’t have continued playing if they could
