AD has never made it past the second round as the #1 on his team.

He had to go be a Robin and take a #2 role playing next to the GOAT to get anywhere lmfao.



They only got there because of the bubble.
They haven’t done shit outside of the bubble.

Oh you mean the year he won a title?

How far did the Sixers go that year again, will you remind me?

Let me know when your season doesn’t end in Embiid tears.

the Lakers are dogshit and I'm here for it

No big wings
No defensive guards
Terrible big man depth
Old team where injuries are piling up
Shooters who can't defend and defenders who can't shoot

some juicy LeBron quotes "KEEP THAT SAME ENERGY WHEN IT BEGINS" "PLAYOFF MODE ACTIVATED" LOL

this dude is always getting hurt so it wouldn't be shocking

do you think LeBron would request a trade or would he just accept his fate to wither away in LA

or maybe its the perfect excuse for LeBron to just play 0 defense, focus on stats, get bounced in the 1st round and all the blame will go on AD


Wither away in LA

League is too good now Lebron was the best now everybody has like 20 years to catch up. Lebron getting old

Might as well stay on top like the other Greats did ending their careers in LA.



I dont think its a Blame AD situation I think that before the season started with all the the vets that the lakers took on it seemed clear that Lebron wasn't aiming for a Title this year. I truly don't think he believes his team is any better this year than it was when they won two years ago.

I could be wrong of course I know Lebron doesn't have 1 billion iq outside of basketball and PR

Maybe if KAT would allow himself to get traded instead of being a Mommas boy barking from the sidelines that he is better than everybody yet at the same time rotting and producing nothing distinguishable on a bottom feeder team.

If KAT had balls he would have gotten traded and shined on a team and actually prove he is as good as he says he is. KAT doesnt have balls so cuz hes a mommas boy baby back bitch

I would say this after Glassbiid actually doesn't get hurt and can finally win a Chip for the 6ers

Lebron going to go wherever his son gets drafted

League will probably rig that lottery for the Cavs yet again


Bronnie is still like 2 schools and 3 years away from draft no?

Time flies damn

Okay but then you need to try the same argument for Kevin Love Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade and Alex "The GOAT" Caruso... and you can't because AD is better than all of those players except Caruso

Minnesota isn't the problem

KAT is the problem

They need to trade him to get an actual player that makes a difference. That man can put up the best stats ever and it doesn't make a lick of difference because he's just not that impactful and he's the softest player in the NBA. All bark, no bite.

Bosh? Love? Sure, AD some conversation as them. But Wade??? he has won a Championship as the #1 player on his team.

AD will never be able to do that, never. He's not an alpha, he's a Robin to someone elses Batman and literally won his one and only ring in the bubble with no fans and no traveling or home/away pressure.

You can't brag about AD having a Championship when he had to ride the coat tail of LeBron to get there and do it, in the bubble lmao.

I agree with the KAT statement but hypothetically do you think KAT could replace say AD as #2 for Lebron... cuz that is my point, KAT could definitely at one point in his career been signed or traded to a sexier team with much more EPSN time, and shined more. IMO. what do you think?




And I can secede that 2020 wasn't an optimal standard basketball season in the NBA... But If you watched those Playoffs AD was pretttyyy fucking good. AD is a really good basketball player and assuming injury prone wasn't a thing I would choose AD over Embiid simply because AD is actually the best big man on any floor he is standing on, Maybe Embiid has slightly better handles... But he can't explode like AD.

You have to consider the players position. a real 5 can only do so much. yes he can adapt PF roles and he can handle the ball so you see him able to stretch his impact but a 5 can only do so much. You can't blame the guy for being a 'Robin' when he is literally the position on the floor that is meant to do the sidekick cleanup work that no one else can do. AD is better than Dame, but Dame is in the star position. I would say we need to fully consider everything involved and the players position in this case does have an iompact on their perceived heirarchy and impact on the game. FOR EXAMPLE. Tim Duncan.Consider him as a 5 man. Duncan never single handedly ran the team, everyone on SA was a Robin to Pop, so are we going to do a 5 pager on why Duncan was a bitch? No. Because its the system. The same logic applies in this case. AD could not carry NWO because the games meta has evolved over the last 30 years from the influence of unstoppable big men like SHaq, Hakeem, Ming, Duncan... That its impossible for a 5 to solo carry a team. Thats why NWO wanted Chris Paul to stay cuz they woudl get AD, thats why The lakers didnt want NWO to keep Chris Paul. Because a healthy AD and Chris Paul would mean a Southern New Orleans Jazz music Finals every year. The League didnt want that. not enough money. The Point is. a 5 cannot single handedly carry a team due to the meta of the game we are playing. So your argument is literally moot.

AD and Embiid are both injury prone so its a wash

AD at least doesn't have conditioning issues like Embiid

another thing is if AD isn't feeling it with his shot, he won't keep jacking up shots to save energy like Embiid does frequently in the playoffs. its a big reason the 76ers lost to the Hawks, Embiid would get gassed and take lazy floaters/shots around the restricted area instead of finishing above the rim

Good thing AD getting his annual 2 months off injury now so that he will be solid for the Playoffs.

Embiid needs to have one of those pretty soon if He is going to be good come playoff time. And he needs to not eat Cheetos and Text on instagram the whole 2 months neither.
