Michael Carter-Williams says Steph Curry is the GOAT:
“Maybe because he's had so much help. I don't agree with it but... KD went there. But all the greats had great teams.”
(via @RunItBackFDTV)
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.'"

Lebron stepped out of his prime and not a single player has been able to replicate his dominance. Your 3x MVP is about to be a 1st round exit. I don’t know how so many ppl were gaslit into thinking 10 straight Final appearance was a hit on his legacy
@ghostfaceassn@Mannwsz5t@SlayYoung23 In his 23 yr career, Bron has made the finals 10x. So, if you have him in your team you are almost guaranteed to make the finals every other year. Every now and then he does need help when he gets there, especially if Steph and KD are gonna team up against him.
@Mannwsz5t@larxotic@SlayYoung23 After getting more sleep and seeing this, it’s even easier.
If you win in the post-season all the time and lose in the finals, it’s clear your path was very easy. This isn’t always the case, but it is most of the time.
@TheBadGuyPontes@SlayYoung23 Bron fans can't win; he makes the finals and wins he had all-star help; he loses it's a stain on his legacy; he doesn't make the finals he's washed.
@overtime You know how most fans and players don't have Bron as their GOAT because of the pain he has caused their franchises, especially while he was still in the East, he just added the Rockets fans to that list if they were not already in there.
@KevinOConnor The only reason why this is a topic today is because they lost, and maybe because it's the post season, but that's him throughout the season, is just that he supplements it by posting big numbers. But Luka's defence is criticised from the first game of the season.
LeBron's insane help in the 1st Round vs Houston:
Marcus Smart: 2022 Defensive Player of the Year
Deandre Ayton: Former 1st overall pick
Jake LaRavia: Wake Forest legend
Rui Hachimura: 2020 All-Rookie 1st Team
Luke Kennard: 3x 3FG% champion
Jarred Vanderbilt: 2017 McDonald's All-American
Bronny James: Literally another LeBron James
Maxi Kleber: 11th place finisher for 6MOY in 2022
Nick Smith Jr: Son of Nick Smith Sr.
This team is more loaded than the 2017 Warriors. No excuses to lose for LeFlop.
@BrettSiegelNBA The 65 game rule ensures that players and teams play their stays, and if for some reason(s) they can't reach, they can always challenge it. Some will be succesful and some will not, like it is not with Antman.
Again, Luka Doncic and Cade Cunningham should undoubtedly be eligible for awards, All-NBA, and all of that, but that's not that point.
Why have the 65-game rule if we will make exceptions to it. Either have 65 games or don't.
Quite honestly, it should be up to the voters.
@BrettSiegelNBA I think we can all agree that if a player challenges the rule and they are given an exception, most fans will most likely agree with the outcome, just like it is with Luka and Cade. I would like to believe these are rational people who taking these decisions.
Íbamos a 7 puntos del FC Barcelona en liga, (ganando este clásico)
Estábamos segundos en champions..
Mbappé y todos los jugadores estaban volando y todo iba genial.. 13 victorias en 14 partidos..
Jamás lo perdonaré.
I think Shai will win MVP and he’s deserving, but boy is it going to be hard to explain to someone in 20 years how Jokic didn’t win the award this year and in 2023 with the numbers he was putting up.
