Winning a Title, Finals MVPs, regular season MVPs is not an accumulation stat. That's in his prime. He should have about 8 MVPs during his prime
I have Magic 4th on my all time list but when you are talking just peak, I guess you don't include defense in the peak of their careers. Because Lebron was one of the best and most versatile defenders in the League while being obviously great on Offense while Magic was just average on Defense. I think both sides of the court should matter but that's just me
Magic Johnson gets the nod for me over Lebron because of his skill set and who he is.
Yeah it's Lebron and Kareem 1, 2 for longevity. Karl probably right up there in the top 5
His skill set lacked the defense of Lebron and he couldn't shoot like Lebron. Like I said, he's number 4 for me but you said skill set and those are 2 important part of a players skill set and hes not at Lebrons level in either. Or scoring.
Nothing odd about it. I watched Magic play his entire career. Same with LeBron.
Thats fine. But you said who he is, like that means something. Thats an odd statement. Who he is doesnt mean anything when comparing the players.
Yeah remember I brought it up first and directly. You didn't respond. I said Lebron was the much better defender, shooter and scorer.
Naz Reid was so good Minn left KAT on the bench during closing time. New NBA is such more a team game.
They wouldn't have been in the game if it wasn't for Edwards. That was his game. He got it done. Both sides of the court
Not taking anything away from Ant he was awesome, but Naz scored 10 straight & had 14 in the 4th. He was clutch when Minnesota needed a player to step up. Without Naz much like Porter & Gordon last series Minnesota loses game 1. So much of a superstars legacy is determine by role players.
Denver is really missing Brown & even J Green off the bench. They were so important to their success last year. Jackson is way to inconsistant and a Defensive liability. Their starters are logging to many minutes. The biggest question is can the Twolves handle success now that they have control of the series.
He’s an elite offensive talent, but I was equally impressed with his defensive effort and effectiveness. He literally took Murray out of the game early on, which seemed to rattle Denver. His jumper reminds me of Kobe, but his overall play reminds me more of Wade. Regardless, heady company and an evolving annual all star.
Yeah he loves defense. He takes it personally and tries to sit down whoever gets it rolling.
Only saw Minn play twice this season, both loses to my Sacramento Kings who scored 124 each game. There’s no way I would have thought Minn capable of playing this kind of defense. And Denver’s failings in this series are not limited to lack of depth this year; Their starters are getting their collective asses kicked.
You mean what if they were quicker, more athletic, and fully committed to playing a swarming defense for four full quarters? Not to mention lack of bench, three point shooting, etc…. I think any team with Davis and James can be dangerous in a best of three series or play in game, but I don’t think they have the right pieces to compete with the upper echelon teams in the West over a 7 game series.
Mike had more in much less time and shoulda coulda woulda. Lebron gets the Emmit Smith award. NOBODY thinks MJ is outside the Top 2, many have Lebron outside the Top 5.
Only haters have him outside of the top 5. No one who really knows basketball says that. Only trolls
“BO” is the only man to play in All-Star games in two different leagues, the NFL and MLB
He shouldnt have been an NFL all star though. He got their on reputation and because his name was Bo Jackson
I agree. He had a better case for pro bowl in 89 where he almost had a 1000 yard season & ave 5.5 yards per carry in 11 games. 1990 when he actually was named to the pro bowl he only had 650 yard on just 125 carries.
