[@80sports20]

Exactly. Jordan was going against big athletic 7ft Centers guarding the rim (Shaq, Ewing, Robinson, Olajuwan, Mourning, and so many more, and that's not including the big Power Forwards that were around). So he had to actually have skill. He could actually shoot a mid-range shot and could navigate like a magician around the rim. Kobe was similar. Lebron benefited from an era where everyone was a skinny finesse player so he could bulldoze his way to the rim without any resistance. Not too hard to be dominant. If Lebron was forced to actually shoot midrange shots and couldn't waltz into the lane, we wouldn't be talking about him the way we are now.

You didn't have to sign for a major FA then. The only three teams that did that before LBJ went to the Heat ( or in trade) was the Rockets, Lakers and Boston and all won a title but it was short term success. Building and winning culture and pushing the players around you and the team signing key ROLE players is how you have long-term success. He didn't have the patience to take that next step. Mo Williams was a good player but they needed one more player as a scorer to help out..someone who could avg 18 to 20 pts a game..I don't know if it would had worked but the one player that they did have and lost to Utah was Carlos Boozer because he would had been that second scorer to LBJ...I always maintained that...if the Cavs was able to hold onto him they would had been a threat.

Lebrons legacy took a hit because he couldn’t win a championship with the cavaliers and ultimately concluded with him moving to LA to be a pop star and change his number to 23. It’s disgraceful

[@geraldos9094]

The main reason for the NBA low ratings are piracy and unavailability. I was trying to find the Lakers game the other night, there was 10 channels on KZbin illegally broadcasting with thousands on the live streams. The NBA packages are so high, they blackout games, and they don’t offer free games like the NFL on a regular cable package. When the NBA starts catering to the middle class again, the rating will improve. Also move the 3 point line back 3 feet, you will see more fundamental basketball played, because the 3 pointer will be a low percentage shot.

[@coding-with-cody]

main reason is lack of intensity... players get technicals for showing any passion, they sit out games, and they dont care if they win or lose. should take away guaranteed contracts.

[@JayCail]

Young people are not looking to spend 3 hours watching divas chucking up 3's. When they ARE "watching" the game they're mostly on their phones anyway. The game sucks right now for a variety of reasons but they're not going to get the young ones back.

[@BigFrankD112]

4:03 I became a OKC Thunder fan at its inception BECAUSE of KD. Then they got Westbrook AND James Harden. Three of the most notorious team hoppers, and they started on the same team!!! Imagine if they would’ve stayed together. The love of money trumps loyalty and true team building through getting better nowadays.

[@shender78]

If OKC only had a crystal ball they would not have cheaped out on Harden they probably traded Westbrook instead and likely competed against the Warriors however KD was still KD before he was a Warrior assassin with Klay and Step to spread the floor for him. KD is still a coward for abandoning his franchise and signing with the team that beat him. It was just such a weak move.

I have Lebron in the top 50 players of all time...barely. He would not be able to do the things he does on the court with the players and teams of the 70's, 80's and 90's. The talent overall just isn't there in this era of the NBA. My top 5 are Michael Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain, Kobe Bryant, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird.

[@blip9999999999999999]

The 3-point line is the problem. Get rid of it. If coaches had started using the 3-pointer so much back in Bird or Jordan's time you'd be blaming Bird or Jordan instead of LeBron for the NBA's problems.

[@kingrambo519]

It lowkey all did begin with LeBron lmao it’s crazy cause he didn’t start all the bs until around 2014/2015 when he went back to the Cavs that’s when he started playing all the clutch sports tricks getting players traded, coaches fired, etc it’s genuinely undeniable when you look back to how everybody was playing hard even in the all star games back in 2012, players didn’t start to sit out and not play hard once LeBron started the trend of taking it easy around 2015, now the entire league is about player empowerment, Buddy ball, iso ball, 3 point shootout, no defense, stars constantly resting, etc it’s not ALL LEBRON but it definitely started with him

Maybe sports in general should stop rigging events to favor “up and coming” stars. Getting excited for events is stupid because when you least expect it something happens that looks force and fake. Take that Mike Tyson fight with Jake Paul. There’s footage analysis of that match that clearly has Mike pulling punches. It’s the same with LeBron who players can’t be in the vicinity of him without LeBron getting a penalty shot.

[@RW-xq2fb]

@breadbutter8708 that's not the problem. The way the game is played on the court is the problem. The amount of three point shots taken ruined the game and Steph created that

[@kennyboston8556]

At first, I was blaming Steph for that, too. But, is it really his fault because everyone is trying to play like him? Isn't that the fault of other players, coaches, GMs? If players can't shoot as proficient as Steph, maybe they should lean towards their own strengths.
