Professional NBA Takes

@samspage @HoldThe_Phone LeBron age 39: 26/7/8 54/41 splits LeBron age 40: 24/8/8 51/38 splits Jordan age 39: 23/6/5 41/19 splits Jordan age 40: 20/6/4 45/29 splits

Take of the century goes to Colin Cowherd

@samspage @HoldThe_Phone What were his shooting splits?

@MarzTalksSports That would also mean he took ~15 midrange shots a game

Play by play tracking from 97 is inaccurate. Its why MJ goes from near 50% to low to mid 40s the next year from midrange. Its why he went from 52%!!!! from 0-3 feet to 64% the next year. They were counting missed jumpers as missed layups. Unless u believe 97 MJ shot 47% on layups

@b0y1da_ KD led them to back to back rings and would have led them to a three peat if he didn’t get injured. He also had a great sidekick.

2018 LeBron couldn’t get a game off the warriors in the finals The spurs without Kawhi got 1 The pelicans without Demarcus Cousins got 1 The rockets got 3

Yeah and LeBron beat that team

@Shane00 I couldn’t believe it. No one gets more disrespected by the refs. Been like this for a decade.

This is the play that broke LeBron's perfect game

Watch out belowwww

@NBA Lebron Curry Kawhi Durant Jokic

LeBron James Kobe Bryant Michael Jordan Steph Curry Bill Russell Jaylen Brown revealed his ALL-STARTING FIVE with Ahmad Rashad 👀

@KalshiHoops LeBron also had 52 removing the 9 FTs from his 61 point game in 2014… why not include that?

NBA Most Points in a Single Game since 2000 (without counting FTs): 63 — Kobe Bryant (2006) 58 — Luka Doncic (2024) 57 — Damian Lillard (2023) 55 — Jalen Brunson (2024) 54 — Steph Curry (2024) 54 — Kobe Bryant (2007) 52 — Karl-Anthony Towns (2024) 52 — Klay Thompson (2023)

@J_north_wood @JuggernautBron 2011 was embarrassing, and guess what, he didn’t win. To win a ring, LeBron has had to play 10/10, he didn’t get the privilege of winning while playing like shit. Kobe finals stats (37 games) 25/6/5 on 41/31 splits LeBron finals stats (55 games) 28/10/8 on 48/35 splits

@_NBAexpert @JuggernautBron So it’s ok for Bron to put up “sidekick” numbers as the #1 option is that what u saying? ’11 Bron was in his PRIME… ’01/’02 Finals “carried,” “sidekick” Kobe outscored your king in 3 of his 10 Finals as the #1 option. ’09 Finals Kobe outscored 7 of Bron’s Finals.

@J_north_wood @JuggernautBron Lebron lost both those finals lmao…that is the point. If LeBron could drop 19ppg on <40% shooting and win a ring, he’d have 10 rings.

@JuggernautBron LeBron’s stats in his first 2 Finals: 19.5 PPG 7 REB 6.8 AST 41.7 FG% 26% from 3

@BarryOnHere Just a measly 4.8 points per made FG. God of unethical basketball.

Some James Harden statlines: 50 PTS 11-37 FG 45 PTS 11-29 FG 43 PTS 8-19 FG 41 PTS 9-34 FG 40 PTS 8-21 FG 38 PTS 8-25 FG 36 PTS 7-25 FG 35 PTS 7-23 FG 35 PTS 7-17 FG 34 PTS 8-27 FG 34 PTS 7-27 FG 29 PTS 5-20 FG 28 PTS 6-22 FG 27 PTS 2-9 FG 25 PTS 5-21 FG 25 PTS 4-16 FG 24 PTS 5-20 FG 22 PTS 3-20 FG 21 PTS 4-20 FG

@MaestroOfMystry @Johnsnow370209 @ChampRDS Sorry I spent all of .5 seconds watching a mini sped up 240p gif. Regardless, my point is still correct. He got a thumb in the eye that was missed and then that led to him taking 3x more damage than he did during that first knockdown.

Paddy Pimblett says he wants a rematch against Justin Gaethje in the future because of some things in the fight that 'pissed him off' "The only thing that's wrong with me is my eyeballs, from fingernails scratching my eyeballs. Hopefully we can run it back because there's a couple things in that fight that pissed me off." (via @PaddyTheBaddy)

@Johnsnow370209 @ChampRDS That sequence was entirely setup from a thumb mashed into his eye. I wanted Justin to win cause Paddy is a fraud imo. But he got fucked twice with eye pokes and the 2nd wasn’t caught so he took a shit load of damage after it.

@ChampRDS U wish u could get that rematch u fat bum lol

@woza_diego @ChampRDS You’re proving Connor’s point. He’s kicking Volk, a 145 pounder that is half a foot shorter than JDM.

@ChampRDS Connor must be high on something he said Islam has No finishing capability,then wtf is this 😅😅

Conor McGregor gave some advice to JDM ahead of the Islam Makhachev fight: "He will be light work at this weight. No finishing capability or positional awareness whatsoever. He is a back pack at best. Nothing to fear. Fear not! Patience, fitness, and ferocity, and he is sparked unconscious inside the 5." #UFC322 (via IG / craigjonesbjj)

@Censor Like you said, you’re generous and I’m sure you pay for everything which is then always expected and under appreciated. Find someone successful enough to pay for themselves. Don’t feel like you always need to pay for everything regardless of how successful you are.

Dating in 2025 🤦‍♂️

@zombiemanjay 6 title defenses away from entering the discussion. 10+ away from getting majority to agree he’s the GOAT.

Not gonna lie how far is Merab from being the actual mma GOAT? Assuming he wins this.

@502Cavs LeBron was better than 8 or 9 players on this list in 2025

these are the only superstars in the NBA: Nikola Jokic Giannis Antetokounmpo Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Luka Doncic Jayson Tatum Victor Wembanyama Anthony Davis Donovan Mitchell Anthony Edwards Jalen Brunson Tyrese Haliburton Steph Curry

@NEAT4MVP @LBJsBest Give LeBron Jordan’s comp and teams and he wins 8+. Goes both ways…

@LBJsBest Give prime Jordan access to todays sports medicine and he meets or exceeds LeBrons season count. People forget the advancement in health knowledge over the last 20 years has played a MAJOR role in keeping Lebron going as well as guys with "career ender" injuries like KD.

These “only 4 championships is crazy” ppl have been brainwashed…there are literally all time great players with 0

@danderson711 @lil_trevino24 @Clayd28 Mfer is saying 2017 draymond was the same as JR Smith 😂

If Bron is better then KD And Kyrie is better then Steph why did the Cavs lose
