KD warned everyone that lebum is toxic to play with. As a former Lakers fan , that's the reason why I can't root for this team as long as he's on it

[@Mandownsports]

He sure did

[@LouSeph]

KD was right but let’s be honest - it’s almost as toxic to play with KD. The Warriors said they walked on eggshells the entire time KD was there and we just found out that KD didn’t speak to the coach for months at a time this season. Maybe he didn’t get accepted into the Warriors cause he walked around like a diva who thought he was better than everyone else and didn’t ingratiate himself with his teammates. KD is right for what he said about Bron - for sure. However he isn’t far behind.

we all know Lebron does this but a lot of people love to live in denial. I absolutely love the saying "many are called but few are chosen" because it applies to a mans character, heart, will, determination and spirit in whatever a man does. Reggie Miller is a prime example of this very thing, when asked a direct question which deserved a direct answer he cowardly scapegoated. Nothing I dislike more than people who, deflect, live in denial, those that play victim and cowards and the entire circus performs live where I work everyday without fail. The one and only MAN DOWN SPORTS Podcast, great content. ✌️

TEN TURNOVERS!! Clearly Caitlin Clark has been studying LeBron James, who is still the All-Time Turnover Leader in NBA history with a staggering 5,211 career turnovers. The next closest player is Russell Westbrook with 4,587 turnovers. So LeBron has Westbrook beat by a whole 624 turnovers. LeBron James has 5,211 TURNOVERS….talk about that upside-down negative Mount Rushmore!!!

TEN (10) turnovers is the highest amount of turnovers in a WNBA debut in history. No player has ever committed more turnovers in her first WNBA basketball game than Caitlin Clark. This is crazy. A lot of air was already let out of the balloon because Clark lost the NCAA Championship game in her final college-career game.

[@Mandownsports]

Yeah, this ain't what the mainstream media wanted or expected. I can't wait to hear the backlash

[@joyce2680]

"Nobody Said Nothing" ... Remember that song? LOL On the flip side, she's in the books for something for her first debut in history. The WNBA Commissioner (I don't know who that is) isn't doing anything good for these women. She hangs CC out to dry, but omits Angel, South Carolina's Ace, and highlights of the games around the league. These 4 ladies brought a lot of attention to the women's game so pub of their games should be out here.

Nah. It's not weird. Shaq was the best player on the Lakers with a young Kobe in my opinion. Not everyone agreed with that opinion hence Kobe's vote split with Shaq for voters who believed a Laker deserved it during the Shaq era. Look up the votes. Kobe was getting MVP votes during the Shaq era.

It's going to take a while for the NBA to recover. Players have always reacted a certaim way from media & fan criticism, but no player in NBA history had as much control over the NBA & media like LeBron. The league, media, & fans have been conditioned to not hold players accountable because the face of the league deflects accountability as much as possible. I've called them the LeBron beehive for a while & KD's comments about the situation was 1000% correct.

[@LouSeph]

I think CC will be fine. I watch the WNBA - the team she was playing, the Sun were almost in the finals last year and are one of the best defensive teams in the league. She is like a young QB who needs to learn what she can and can’t get away with and learn her new teammates. Her entire team is young. She got drafted and got a few weeks to practice and started against a team who has played together for years. It’s like the people who want her to fail - it’s like declaring an NBA prospect a failure cause 3 weeks after they got drafted they struggled against the Nuggets or Celtics. She will be fine - just people didn’t respect the WNBA so they don’t respect the skill of the players in it so they thought she was gonna pick up right where she left off in college. She will be fine - it will just take her a bit to adjust to the league and new teammates and coaches etc. The rest of her team played bad too. Her turnovers you could tell the team just doesn’t have chemistry yet. People who want her to fail are just having their moment of ignorance -it won’t last. I am not saying she is gonna be the best player in the league this year but she won’t be a failure. She will be a good player and ALLSTAR level player I predict by her third year. It’s just gonna take her a bit to adjust. You could tell she was getting more comfortable as the game went on.

[@Mandownsports]

I agree

[@joyce2680]

That's how Reggie Miller is. He was out there with Kenny Smith trying to make the Jet look sexist and got burnt. Every time he makes sneaky back stabbing moves to look big instead of manning up and truly owning what he thinks, it backfires. He still hasn't come to grips with Steph passing him. Harlan should be sick of him. He overtalked Jamal Crawford the other day. Then from time to time he threw it over to Jamal unexpectedly. Jamal did the do, then Reggie tried to take the mike back but it was too late. Notice Reggie hasn't gone back to MSG. The crowd and Josh Hart gave him the business‼️ I hope TNT assigns Reggie back here to NY. It'll be fun!

~ Someone was definitely in Reggie’s ear. Reggie is one of those guys that “straddles” the fence (pause?) He has always done this since he’s been in media. He’s “compromised” in that respect. Because he is being paid by the NBA. The analysts, and guys that were critical of the game, and of the marquee players …. where are they now? They certainly aren’t on mainstream media anymore…. I believe many fans want the mainstream to call out Lebron for his “antics “ Lebron fans call the truth hate. Idk why but this reminded me of a Bible verse (I’m not a Christian, ) “The light (the truth about Lebron) has come into the world, but men (Lebron Stans, paid media cronies) loved the darkness, (the lies, the false narratives) rather than the light (the truth about Lebron ) because their deeds were evil… 😂😂😂 Nah, maybe I was a little pulp fiction with that take. I don’t know why that popped into my head.

If there was an objective criterion there wouldn't be a voting system. They have selected voters who make the call according to the collective result. The system is what it is. It's imperfect but putting the choice in the hands of voters instead of a strict arbitrary standard keeps it interesting due to the flexibility voters are afforded.

No. The draft is set up to strengthen the teams at the bottom of the league so if the prospect they draft in the lottery aren't good enough to make the team better then they would still be at the bottom on the league. Nothing got watered down. The same teams at the top stayed at the top and the teams at the bottom stayed at the bottom

You were far too kind in your LeBron statements. The media daring to speak any truth on LeBron now is far too late. Ham got fired, so now folks want to speak? LeBron and his teammates showed so much disrespect every chance they could. Crickets. Grab a rose and peel petals alternating between "he leads, he leads not". Technically, he does lead.

1:14:33 to me that pyramid - the “team success” - that is where leadership and mentality come in. That is where - ok you are this good on offense and defense - now how does it affect your teammates and winning and losing. Stats nerds vote for Jokic to justify making analytics the end all be all of basketball. Cause if they don’t vote that way - then what’s the point of them and their analytics. It’s a vote to justify themselves and their way of analyzing the game. So as a result they say - “the way we break down the game - the player who is the best by our criteria must always win, or it says our criteria is invalid”. Which their criteria of only looking at numbers is TOTALLY invalid - cause basketball is a game played by human beings not robots. 🤖 So to me triple doubles are totally overrated. Jokic for sure is a worthy MVP - he shouldn’t have got it the year they were the 6th seed. It’s cause he has 3 out of 4 not because he has an MVP.

I don't think you have their perspectives correct. I think Ernie is refuting Shaq's argument because it's wrong. They didn't have a better record, and he didn't have better stats. He had 3 better stats of 26. The rest were all worse with 1 tie. Shaq is coming from a place of jealousy in that... I was robbed because this guy had a better record; therefore, Jokic should be robbed because this guy was first on tie breakers. And Barkley just wants to disagree with Shaq. :P I think they need definitive criteria to use, and the voters should write WHY they voted how they did. It should all be made public after the vote. I think that would force them to actually do research and make educated decisions rather than emotional ones. I also think your version takes opinion into account way too much.
