For example, Lebron saying Shabazz Napier was his favorite pick in the 2014 draft.

I once proclaimed The Simmons & Embid duo was going to be more dangerous than Stockton & Malone.

I watched the season (as I have since basically the mid-80’s), like I said it was an awesome year, also I never said he wasn’t deserving. You put a lot of words in my mouth. What you’re saying can be true, it doesn’t change anything I said, he had a weak MVP season. Also I don’t agree with you that he was the only reason they were winning, they had a great defensive team, and Thibs is well known for driving regular season success at the teams detriment. They won 50 games the next season with rose playing a lot less and not as well, so clearly the team could win without him. Tbh based on what you’re saying it sounds like you probably didn’t watch that season, but I’m not going to make a baseless accusation just because someone said something I don’t like.

You didn't watch him and you know it. I watched every single game that season and if you don't think that's legendary, you are fooling yourself. He pretty much had the MVP by January. That's like Curry's MVP year, but he is 22 years old. Say whatever you want, downplay his year, it does not matter. It doesn't change the fact nobody in the history of the league had the year that he had at 22.

I didn’t watch every single game obviously and neither did you, however I watched a ton that season. How about this, tell me what I said that’s wrong, tell me what MVP year over the last 25 years was weaker? Tell me why Chicago still won 50 games the next year? Can you make an actual argument other than proclaiming you’re the expert and no one can argue with you?
