I think the nba has hit a ceiling for the foreseeable future. Most of them use PEDs already, until better drugs come out, were just going to see similar superhuman stats across the board for years.

Nobody is giving you a real answer but it's genetics. Families in pro sports usually excel at certain things while remaining vulnerable at others. Look at seth curry. Good/great 3pt shooter just like his bro, but just not as good. But they both made the nba. Look at the giannis bros. They're on the same team and also play the same way, but giannis is way better.

Also clout, I doubt giannis brother makes the nba without giannis' influence.

I don't think you watch ball lol. Luka is good.

Because the old heads love to hate on newer talent, which isn't even new anymore. Lebron and Jordan are neck and neck for goat based off stats (you're lying to yourself if longevity means nothing to you.) Kobe isn't even in the conversation.

Lebron James has scored 5,000 more points than Jordan. Don't even look at the triple-double Stat because it may shatter your machinations about Jordan.

The overall basketball player lebron James has been is definitely comparable to Jordan.

Yeah, Jordan won it all 7/7 times, but why didn't he make it there 10 times? Is that body of work discluded? It shouldn't be. Lebron carried trash teams to the finals while Jordan was always surrounded by an elite group. That 2016 group included him and Kyrie vs steph, klay, and igodaula. The other cavs teams he carried there were even worse. It's crazy he did it with just himself and AD in a league that warranted three superstars.

Lebron is absolutely a "killer" just without the rape allegations of kobe.

Because rape is so rampant in professional sports that not all of them are considered a big deal. The higher the talent, the less it doesn't fucking matter. Josh giddey is low talent/ratings, so he takes the fall so the NBA can say "yeah, we take it seriously." Look at kobe Bryant, Karl Malone, Chauncey Billups, Bernard king etc etc.

I mean, murder isn't that big of a deal if you're a star. Look at Ray Lewis ffs.

One of the forerunning teams will take them lightly, not play starters, and lose. It's calculated. Why should someone like Giannis put his all out there against a team like the pistons? The risk of injury is way greater than one loss. It doesn't matter. Pistons are a trap, none of the top teams are going to go all out playing them.

Jordan Poole is really developing. My wizards will be good someday lol

Bro kd would get injured on his first nfl hit. A tackle to his legs would be devastating.

Football is much more physical and requires muscle mass. People like kd, Tyler Herro, Jordan poole, etc. would get obliterated.

Being an asshole doesn't warrant getting punched lol.

When Jordan Poole gets it together we're going to see some changes

[–] Pretend-Square8686@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Lebron would make him work for sure
