Imagine taking a 5 game sample size to compare his career rofl

& Lebron proved last year he wasn’t even the best player on his team rofl rofl.

Def Giannis over him, DPOY MVP,
Def Luca over him, So much younger & does it all,
Def AD over him, even on his same team,
Def Curry over him, most efficient player of all time coming in healthy & hot.


Regular season awards mean so much...

And LeBron had as much right to win that MVP award as Giannis did. How about that Finals MVP?

Good try though. LeBron is still the most complete player and best overall in the game. MVP caliber in the regular season AND postseason. Until he shows otherwise, that #1 spot goes to him every year.

Lol your reasoning is crazy. AND WHY DO YOU KEEP BRINGING UP CURRY? He's not in this convo, you're a few years too late lmao.

John Wall on James Harden: "Whatever he’s going through, he’ll get through it and make the decision that’s best for him, and I think the front office will do the same." That's a big step back from Wall previously saying that Harden "for sure" wanted to be in Houston.

John Wall believes he'll be better than he was before his Achilles injury because bone spurs that were removed limited him so much for years. "I couldn’t even do certain moves because my leg was hurt so bad. Now I’m able to do everything on an explosive level on equal sides."

I'm tired of this James Harden drama. I believe in a 30-year-old John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins dominating and being all-stars again at 30 years old. I think Christian Wood is a 25-year-old stud that reminds me of a lengthier and more athletic Robert Horry. We've got a lot of young talent off the bench including the rookie Kenyon Martin Jr. We still have the glue guys and solid veterans like P.J. Tuker and Eric Gordon, which is a silent assassin "Splash Gordon" when he's feeling good.

Take James Harden off this team and I still think the Rockets are a potential 7th or 8th seed in a tough West. Is that crazy to think?
And then if they trade Harden and recoup some nice assets they'd be in an even better position than competing for a bottom seed.

He didn’t have the best defensive stats however you want to slice it, and that’s with one of the greatest floor generals in the history of the NBA keeping you in line

...? Nigga the regular season is the huge sample size that determines your body of work. So yeah, the awards mean a little bit. The fuck. Yes there are some who raise their level even more in the playoffs & that’s why there are awards for finals performances & if you wanna lobby for playoff performance awards for their smaller sample size then go ahead papasito. Such a weird ass argument.

Giannis is better defensively by a lot & offensively as well what are we even talking about lol

& okay bro, join the list of Curry haters for no reason, just like his entire career. HE needs Klay & Draymond, its not the other way around or anything Lmao. He doesn’t create a gravitational pull that literally makes Klay & Dray succeed. He was the one who joined another team right? Oh wait nope. They joined him. Lmao

Imagine if the Sixers swapped Simmons for Curry... they’d have at least two titles already (19 & 20)

It still disgusts me that the Bucks rejected Curry for Bogut (when Curry was still unknown and had injury concerns) for Monta have it all

I loved Andrew Bogut's game but he was a bit soft inside the paint. Didn't he recently retire?
I always called him the gentle giant from down under. Aussie! Aussie! Aussie! Skilful center.

The injuries ruined Bogut just when he was really putting his whole game together during the Fear the Deer run. I think he did retire yea

My favorite NBA video game of all time. NBA 2K10 on the PC. A true masterpiece and classic.

I once traded for Andrew Bogut and played him at power forward on the Rockets.
Yao Ming, Andrew Bogut, Shane Battier, a rookie Michael Jordan and Aaron Brooks.

Off the bench I had Luis Scola, Carl Landry, Kevin Martin, Kyle Lowry and some free agents I had signed.

LOL, all I remember is Yao (7'6) and Bogut (7'0) dominating the boards. I think I out-rebounded every team by an average of 30 rebounds per game. It was easy just to play a rookie Michael Jordan on that team. I was unstoppable to say the least. If the double teams came at me I always had an easy pass to Yao Ming for a quick slam dunk. I could also rack up assists feeding it to Andrew Bogut from mid range. He had a graceful touch for a 7 footer. I'd have some 30-point and 30-assist games with Michael Jordan. Easy work!
