GOAT NBA Discussion: Biggest fraud poster: fallguy. Super AIDS Containment thread
Houston opening -9.5 for game 3, they still should get this done in 6 or 7
Wouldn't be surprised if Durant misses another game at some point.
Kennard just needed to play on a Lebron led team to realize how good he is.
I can't wait to hear about how he's better than Pippen. Is he on Antawn Jamison level? Or GOAT IT2?
Now this was the game i was expecting in game 1 from Lebron. Maverick re-engaged. 10-14 from the free throw line. Much better than o for 2 in game 1. 28 points. He got his jersey dirty tonight. Nice job Lebron. I told you he was capable!
Both games Lebron had the best +/- of all 10 of the games starting players. Probably just doing exactly what the team needed.
Not sure if you being serious as it sounds like you're just having some fun saying you think they will win the championship. And Lebron's the goat and all. I mean reality is lebron's playing decent, but nothing that happens in this series should have anything to do with the goat argument. In reality we have a very bad Rockets team with no point guard, and players that need to go back to shooting school, except Durant, but he's hurt. When they face okc reality will set in. If Luka comes back will be a fun series to watch, but they still lose prolly in 4 or 5, 6 at the most.
But again we're supposed to hand over the goat crown to a guy because he's playing good enough to beat a bad team in the 1st round? Again i know you're just having some fun. But people in the media really believe this stuff lol. I mean Jordan's legacy as the goat should be taken away because Lebron doesn't look like he's ready for the retirement home???? Not gonna win any title, or even come close, but becasue he can still play at a good level means he's better than the greatest basketball whose ever lived? Sounds kinda looney to me? This media love is comical. Sga and Jokic put up unreal numbers everyday like it's normal for players to be that good. But we're talking bout an old guy putting up decent numbers for a good player, but not great player.
Michael Jordan averaged 30+points per game for his career. 6 championships. 5 MVP's, in reality he woulda won mvp every single year but they wanted to be nice to other players. Never losing the championship. The goat had a hold on winning!
Btw, Jordan averaged 30 a game when there was hand checking. Now you can't go near a player so that's why it's so easy for everyone to score nowadays. Jordan average's 40 to 45, i feel like i should say 50, i'm underetimated the goat yet again, a game in today's game imo. Only if he wanted to prove a point. Otherwise woulda just chilled out and averaged like 38 a game. Then turned it on when it was championship time!
A better way of saying what Jordan would average is to say whatever the number posted by someone else he would make sure he got more than that. On top of that, if he got to play in Lebron's era and Lebron declaring himself the goat, Jordan woulda went so nuts to show him who the best was maybe he woulda got 50 a game lol. 50's kinda hard, i'll stick with 40 as a reasonable number for him.
He probably would've failed even harder at baseball pitchers are way better now.
Imagine if the league allowed Denver to acquire SGA for nothing, and then when SGA gets injured, everyone says the Nuggets are now "short-handed"...
Obviously, the "short-handed" idea would be absurd because it was unfair for the Nuggets to get SGA in the first place.
This was the situation with Lebron when he got AD and then Luka... It was completely unfair for Lebron to get top 5 guys, which means the team isn't short-handed and has simply come back to the pack rosterwise
So is AD unfair or nothing?
Ah there's the baby crying sound.
I think a 41 year old nba player (even one who some say was the GOAT when he was at his best) needs help and getting it is pretty okay.
i mean jordan is the goat in some very real ways
if you consider longevity as your major determination for goat (which people can have as their argument --- everyone is entitled to their opinion on criteria ---- and dont try and attack me fallguy as it's not my personal criteria) then lebron surely has passed kareem on that. plus what he's done vs houston is nothing short of ****ing amazing
from a fan standpoint its awesome, and as a human being standpoint its phenomenal. think of your average 41 year old male and what they're capable of .. now think of someone STILL being in the league at 41 and playing the most genetic athletic freaks on planet earth.
I applaud LeBron.
Golbert = GOAT
he looked locked the **** in tonight
jokic's horses will kick
nuggets vacation soon due to bricks
wolves in six
Hold my beer. Cj Mccollum= GOAT. But Kuminga, Kenard, Marcu Smart, and Gobert are right on his heels. Almost forgot Jayden Mcdaniels.
Btw, I think i'm pulling back on Jokic just a bit. I thought he was actually maybe the goat already. But it's still Jordan and Jokic losing a little ground lately. The fact he's being mocked by players in the league that he's a joke on defense is an issue. Especially when he doesn't respond to it with a good defensive game. He's been missing alot more 3's lately than in the past it feels also. That will probably change. But he's gotta figure it out on defense. Dude's a big guy. What's the issue? I know not easy to be great at defense, but when your big like that and super-competitive, you'd think he'd be at least decent at worst. He can't jump, is that the issue? Or is it he doesn't try on defense?
Has Jokic gotten back to himslef since his injury in middle of the season? Maybe it still affects him some even though we still see huge games.
Do you realize that AD was victim to the biggest robbery in NBA history?
Specifically, AD was the first player ever to arrive on a lottery team and turn them into champion in 1 year... The instant AD arrived, the Lakers went from worst to first, which is the definition of MVP...
If Giannis, Jokic or Lebron did this, it would be INSTANT mvp - unanimous MVP...
Again, AD turned the Lakers' defense from worst to first AND led the team in scoring, which resulted in worst to first status, and therefore the most obvious MVP in history.. No one ever took a team from worst to first, so there's never been anyone more valuable than AD in 2020.. It's a goat season that he gets no credit for due to the Lebron fraud (fake goat debate).
The Lakers were the worst team in the NBA in 2018-19 now? They werent even worst in their division let alone conference.

Yeah people never give AD the credit he deserves. Especially because he always gets hurt. But when on the court not many guys effect a game more than him. Other than the goat-type names like Wemby, Jokic, and SGA. AD if he stayed healthy through his whole career, and didn't have to play alot of his career with a bad team, would be considered a goat-type name himself. He's great on both sides of the ball.
When i say goat-type just mean great franchise player for your team will skills like a possible chance at being the goat. Some guys in that category, but only one real goat, MJ.

worst to first is the definition of MVP, and the fact that it was actually lottery to first doesn't change the point that Anthony Davis was the Most Valuable Player in the league for the 2020 season.
Got a clutch steal, and hit a 3 to tie with 13secs left.
29/13/6 and a 3-0 series lead.
Not really any chance of advancing past OKC but Houston was ~-500 before the series.
Just in case you missed it
25.3/9.7/8.7 in the series, I mean dude is the oldest player in the league and just played 45 minutes.
