[@cruztheworld8326]

​@@kjee09I agree. There's a lot of Kobe and Jordan fans that scrutinize and criticize everything that LeBron does on the basketball court.

[@YerpDerp17]

Exactly. Sure, LeBron can still ball out, but he can't be a number 1 or 2 best player on a championship team. A lot of his stats are empty calories. And thats not hating, just what it is. He plays no defense, is a liability on fast breaks, and breaks up the chemistry on offense. He doesn't move without the ball, has terrible handles and jacks random 3's to bail himself out, because his only viable move is going to the basket full force. Which all stalls out the offense.

What was the benefit for the Warriors bringing in Lebron? You would have to send out the door Klay who I know is not the same player as he used to be plus Kuminga.

Bron brought the scrutiny on himself though. We were all excited for him and Melo to get into the league, and it was FUN basketball to watch with those 2 doing their thing. But Bron was the only one who was getting that “chosen one,” “king,” “heir apparent,” type treatment. And he bought into it. Man has never been humble since he’s been in the league, and people naturally will scrutinize the cocky players. Is what it is. He still did as expected, so you can’t really knock him for being that way 😂

[@bryanfoster326]

Can’t agree more with Chris on maximizing now First off, when you have a superstar. Getting an all time great player is rare, and competing for titles without all time greats is so incredibly rare, the only thing less likely is actually winning a title without a superstar. 2nd off, 2 track plans are just stupid, other teams are not doing 2 track plans, trying to compete now and in the future is just handicapping yourself now and and in the future, and instead of being great now and in the future, you’re just mediocre now and in the future.

Lebron is trying to maximize as many minutes as he can play to keep his All Time Player Stat Averages up . Then there's the fact that LeBron doesn't want to use the Bulls / Lakers Triangle Offense at all . He has wanted to distance himself to anything to do with Jordan or that System to separate himself From Jordan in the GOAT Debate . The Warriors have used the Triangle ALOT since 2015 .
