Yeah. The thing with LeBron was nicely visible in a possession yesterday I thought, were the Bulls switched and he had Noah on the right wing in an isolation. He knows better than anybody else that his best bet in that situation is to take it hard to the rack and draw at least a foul, possible even get an and-1. But he took a casual three. And I get it. You get tired of running and jumping into 7 foot beasts and get hacked by guys like Noah.

He learned to take it easy in october
Hes going to half ass this season
5 straight finals.

But still no one better
We saw it in the finals. By himself, dead tired and he was still by far the best player on the floor

and his size and strength was what made him so unstoppable when he drives to the rim, and hes not doing it as much anymore. still a game changer no doubt but hes a notch below imo.

He'll be fine. East is an absolute joke. He could sit playoff games and the cavs will still steamroll to the finals

As for curry duh hes great

But the thing now a days, these guys in his tier are all so close that when one has a great game its so easy to call them the best

AD, Steph, lebron, kd, russell and james
Are all in the same tier. Everyone else is a few notches below and its fun to debate but honestly these guys are interchangable every night

He definitely tried to score on the last play and got denied like a little kid. By devensive juggernaut Pau Gasol.

Maybe add blake....maybe


That all said, at their peak this season ill still take lebron. If anyone gets me to change that, it'll be KD. I just need to see it. I expect him to get MVP #2

He did it last year in the regular season. Cavs fans even call it chill mode, because it happens so often. There are tons of games where he literally gives no effort.
