This tread has gotten a bit crazy. Hell yes, we should be excited by Golden’s commitment. He’s an elite athlete at the high school level, and projects to be the same at college. Yes, it’s only a commitment and non binding, but we sure as hell are dramatically better positioned to get his signature than any other school at this point. We are terribly thin at corner, the position we recruited him to play. This is all good, as good as it gets this time of year. The fact Golson loves this commitment shouldn’t be a basis for hedging our collective excitement over this prospect.

I'm giving him a very small amount of credit only because he signed the players other than JJB.

Regarding Michael at 6 titles and LeBron at 4 titles in 21 seasons, Thank You for the excuses.

If you want to shift the goalposts off LeBron and MJ.....great.

He should have 5. He messed up the Dallas series, that is on him. He has to own that. Although you can say only he could have beat that Warrior team so 4 is the right number but that is up for debate.

But other than that, the talent he went up against in the Finals in insane. Every team he lost to had at least 3 hall of famers and a hall of fame coach. Some of the teams had 4 Hall of Famers on them. And unfortunately for him, some unfortunate injuries to his teammates.

Whats your narrative why MJ doesnt have as many titles as Russell and Havlichick?

Lebron did his first 7 years. And Jordan did before Pippen

Bottom line, all he had to get to was 42 wins to make the playoffs and he had Rip Hamilton on his team

I dont like talking down on Mike because he was my favorite player and he played r3ally well for a 38 year old. But Lebron was better at the same age

I dont even want to talk and compare the 2 anymore. It's annoying. They are the 2 best players to ever live. 2 of my favorite players ever and I'm glad I got to see both of them

Ugh no, I have better things to do with my time then watch 35 year old basketball games. It sure doesn't seem like you grew up watching it.

Really? It doesn't matter how good you are if your team sucks. One guy isn't going to carry a team into the playoffs.

Lebron got his ass handed to him? Are you sure you watched these series? Denver was #1 seed and odds on fav to win it last year & is the 2 seed this year. All but 1 game in the last 2 years came down to the wire. Lebron was great in both series.

Wait what? Did we forget that this is the coach that players had to complain about and some said they never even talked to or saw around the program.

What credit is he taking?

What does who they played for matter.

He also could have played better, that is one main thing that he could have done. Lebron was much better at the later stage of his career

He didn't play for the LA Lakers. Nor was an all star like Anthony Davis on his team.

LeBron, playing for the LA Lakers, with all star Anthony Davis as a teammate, getting his ass handed to him two seasons in a row by the Nuggets is surprising.
