Gen X told the GOAT he gotta surpass the Boomers (Jordan) and their era (Kobe) in accolades to even be considered better than them. Now guys like Pierce annoint these young players who have no post season success at all or a history of choke jobs every year as better than him based off the regular season. It's made a mockery of the game and a big reason we don't have a face after LeBron. Nobody's demanding the new guys push the game forward. :smh:
 
And I agree with you too. It sounds like the Pelicans are giving Zion advice instead of instructions.

Issue is that they already gave him the money.

So Zion has all the power.

They already threatened trade him during the summer.

They need to just trade him at this point. Maybe Thibs can turn him back into a future hall of famer
 
It's disappointing because he does bare mimmum

I always thought it showed with him still not having an outside game after all these years.

He should be getting more than 6 boards playing the four. Especially without Adams.

Yes he does the bare minimum. He has good games and then terrible ones, it's weird.

They definitely need to trade him because he's showed what he's gonna do and be. Of course once he leaves he'll lose the weight and elevate his game.

And he do needs Thibs, he needs "The Culture"

And the league showcases winners. Snacks didn't show up to play and neither did the Pels so they didn't deserve to be celebrated.

The league was more than ready to showcase and highlight Halliburton as if he won, but they didn't.

Win and you get celebrated, win and you get the shine, win and the media and fans will make your rich will be richer.
No Lebron hate here bruh
The Lakers (AD in particular) showed up and balled. They won, congrats to them.

I wouldn't be mad to see Halliburton get his payback in the Finals either. Or the Pels. Hell maybe even my 2nd Rounders could .... well anyway.

Now that the play-in is over, I say let's get the Christmas games out the way and then fast forward to the playoffs.

Zion and Pat Riley/Spo's body fat percentage rule

That shit wouldn't work
 
This is interesting-- Contradicts the understanding I had coming into today. Good read, wish the whole thing was free. (Would be great if someone posts the rest if anyone has access.)

I'm going to give this some thought and be on the lookout for further evidence in the coming days...

A big problem I noticed is having him play Point Forward... like he's Giannis....

He has the mentality of a guard ... They need to team him with a pg/playmaker and keep his ass in the paint...
 





Like father like son





I was just about to say so no one made a thread about Bronny James first college game, his block and 3 pointer vid just popped up on my YouTube timeline, I know it's hard being the child of any good/great player but being Lebrons kid gotta be the toughest in history

Nah being Lebron's kid definitely ain't the toughest in history.

Once Jordan's kid turned out to be shit on the court, Bronny going to a known D1 school and actually playing is like an NBA championship :roflmao:

Bruh you're tired of seeing Lebron and the Lakers win, you're tired of seeing him and the Lakers talked about and getting shine.

Just man up and admit that you're a hater! :lol:

When Brady and New England was winning championships I was mad and do you know why?

Because I was a hater!

And I have no problem admitting it :roflmao:

And why do you keep mentioning the Pelicans? Are you a Pelicans or a Snacks fan?

Let me find out that you're a fan of Buffet Williamson :lol:

And to your last statement that's the problem. You're ready for the playoffs. You're like man of the fans are simply waiting for the playoffs and can't enjoy the actual season.

And that's the reason for the IST and something that the league is trying to change.

Jordans kids were never taken serious as basketball players and social media wasn't around like it is today, if you look at the comments in the YouTube videos they already talking about he's trash and if it wasn't for his dad

I'm not here to bad talk Bronny or Lebron but the comments are the truth.

If he wasn't Lebron's son we wouldn't know who he was.

Yes he's a talented all around basketball player but not one that stood or stands out in the current generation of young ballers.

He's definitely a solid player though.

I agree with everything you said but people just take it to far, they want Bronny to fail because they don't like LeBron

To add on:

I think that he's solid enough to make it to the NBA. He can handle the ball, play solid defense and he's good athletically etc.

Considering that New Orleans always is brought up as the most non-basketball NBA city, the tournament did a good job of making people in this city pay attention to basketball this early in the season. Most Southern cities (apart from Kentucky or the Carolinas) aren't turning their attention to basketball till late winter/early spring.

He is playing a lot better, but I still say, LeBron, youngest son is going to be the star
