I guess you only watched him with the Nuggets, but not the Sixers.
I have to digest this a bit but you want to pay Buddy Hield a 10 million bonus as a franchise player? Also lots of saltiness would happen if a team could only pick one (if none of their players were picked as a starter), especially if it were up to a team. Like could you imagine what would have happened on that KD/Westbrook/Harden team? Who the heck do the Knicks or Cavs send?
Green is one of the most disciplined defenders in the league lmao
You can't just be intense and be able to guard 1-5.
that klay contest on dame where the ball got deflected out of bounds was just insane, comes from the weak side, hops to get out of the restricted area, immediately gets good position and goes straight up on the contest and absorbs the contact instead of initiating it which could have potentially sent dame to the foul line
and it wasn't even conclusive that it went out on klay either, they just went with the call on the floor
that was a big time play
never mind all the cold blooded shots klay has hit to help put teams away

Negatory, I think you're underestimating Green. Dray is straight up on Kawhi's level when it comes to defense, and of similar height, who has done just fine against Giannis. Definitely not a mismatch and the entire Dubs squad do beyond amazing on the defensive end as a group. Yes, even Curry. Green will have plenty of help. Bucks also don't have the experience to be ready for an offense and defense of this caliber over an entire series. Not just any series... The finals. These Bucks youths going to be like deer in headlights. Maybe if Giannis can download Lebron's experience and wisdom they might have a bit of a chance lol
But you guys keep on doubting. You've all been nailing those hot takes since game 5 against the Rockets LOL Me though? No reason to start doubting the Dubs now. They've made my hot takes look like pro takes up until this point.
Was this supposed to be some sort of checkmate type post? Iggy was never a top-10 player, probably not even a top 25 player.
Klay has proven to be infinitely more valuable to the team's overall success, Iggy is more like the cherry on top.

I wouldn't call it a mismatch, although I will say Kawhi is probably a better on ball defender against Giannis than Draymond would be.
Difference here is that Kawhi has to shoulder the entire offensive weight for his team and also neutralize the MVP, whereas Draymond can lock in on Giannis entirely and not worry too much about creating on the other end. And warriors have a bunch of good-elite defenders who can switch onto Giannis as necessary. That's what makes the warriors so good.
Klay is an elite two-way player by the eye test but grades out as shockingly mediocre both by individual stats and adjusted on-off metrics. I hope he leaves because it's good data in a fascinating player-eval test case.
As always, you are proving your high BBIQ (basketball IQ for the small ballers) and speaking facts.
I want Max Klay and max Dray on the same team minus Curry
Iggy used to brick shots and be hot trash in east playoffs. Every accolade he might get today and in the future is 'cause he has some incredible genes and played next to Steph.
Pistons are awesome losers. Two good starters, and the best player could only play 2 games on one leg. Second year guy was the best looking player on the team. Swept by the Bucks? So. Highly talented, "67 win season" Boston won a single game against them.
Detroit makes losing look fucking good.

Okay, so got a request. If you had to pick FIVE trivia/facts/stats would be the strongest argument for LBJ being a top 3 player, which would you pick? Using rings? Stats? Accolades? Which?
Top 5 Lebron James Trivia For Strongest Argument For LBJ Being A Top 3 Player
Both St. Vincent-St.Mary and Oak Hill Academy are elite high school basketball programs. St. Mary beat Oak Hill during Lebron's senior year.
Lebron skipped college and went straight to the NBA. Other NBA superstars that have done this are Kevin Garnett, Amere Stoudemire, Tracy McGrady, and Kobe Bryant.
He scored more in his first NBA game than Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, and Tracy McGrady, in their first game right out of high school.
LeBron was so good he was featured in "Sports Illustrated". In high school, everybody knew that LeBron was going to be a star in the NBA.
Lebron was drafted first by the Cleveland Cavaliers. Darko Milicic was trafted second by the Pistons. Carmelo Anthony was drafted third by the Nuggets.
That's all it takes. Dre is making the best of the situation he's in and he plays a key role. Nobody is gonna be bold enough to make a similar case for Harrison Barnes or Andrew Bogut.
Penis size
Space Jam 2 is going to be fire
His middle name is Raymone
He smashes IG models
He's got that Gladiator quote tatted on his biceps.
There was never a team he was top 10 or close to it, stop it.
LeBron has played for 3 teams. Cavs, Heat, and now Lakers. Kawhi has played for 2, Curry played for 1. 3 is bigger than 2 and 1, and that's just facts.
LeBron makes TV shows and movies. Kawhi is on a YouTube show as a side piece to Serge Ibaka.
LeBron has very big biceps. Curry and KD are frail humans. Kawhi has decent biceps, nice hands, could be hand model if we are being honest.
LeBron had a groin injury. I'm no expert but this is usually because someone has a big dick and it's difficult for the body to carry it. I think girth and length are very important to measure and LeBron is top 3 most definitely.
He called trump a Bum.
Those Philly Iguodala teams weren't anything special in real life, but lemme tell you something about Iguodala in 2K.
Size like LeBron.
Handles like Kyrie.
Jumper like Curry.
He'd blow you out by 21+ and then lose in the first round to the Iso Joe Hawks. GOAT.

you forgot to mention that the rockets got their twitter account suspended
1. Team records in the season before he left and after: Cleveland Cavaliers record in 2009-10: 61-21. Record in 2010-11: 19-63. Miami Heat record in 2013-14: 54-28. Record in 2014-15: 37-45. Cleveland Cavaliers record in 2017-18: 50-32. Record in 2018-19: 19-63.
2. 8 straight Finals appearances with two different teams (and two stints on a Cleveland team separated by four years with completely different personnel).
3. Led the Cleveland Cavaliers to their only championship trailing 1-3 in the series against the team with the greatest regular season record of all time.
4. Led the league in PER six times, trailing only Jordan, Kareem and Wilt for number of years leading the category. Also only trails those three players in number of years leading in win shares. His career PER average is second only to Jordan's and his career win shares will likely be second all-time behind Kareem when he retires.
5. Ummmm... MVP awards I guess? Tied for fourth all time with Wilt (each has 4), trails only Jordan, Russell and Kareem. Tied with three other players for second all time with three Finals MVPs (Jordan leads with six).

It is amazing how dominant he is in this day and age without a reliable jumper.
klay always getting disrespected lol. that three he made in regulation to tie the game was nuts.
luckily for the warriors he doesn't seem to have an ego.

He still has the threat of a jumper, so teams have to play him somewhat honest on the perimeter. It isn't a ben Simmons situation where he won't or can't pull under any circumstances.
I think it's bound to happen within a few seasons. It's obvious he's been putting work into it, and he's not scared to shoot 3s.
Only person in a series EVER to lead both team in all major statistical categories. He did it on the biggest stage. I'm not sure there will ever be a player to do that again. Do you understand how dominant you have to be to pull that shit off?
