Doc Rivers with probably the realist words ever said about LeBron -
“With MJ we allowed him to grow into greatness. With LeBron we didn’t & he STILL over achieved. He’s had some of the biggest clutch games in NBA history yet no one knows it.” 💯👑
Magic retired at 36, Bird retired at 35,
Jordan at 38 (we call ceremonial years)
Kobe at 37 farewell tour and praised, Tim Duncan retired at 40 and his last couple years he was allowed to just be and play. No expectations. Dirk made all star game at 40 averaging 7 and 3 because he was appreciated and honored. Draymond says LeBron deserves that and people get in an uproar. It happens to all the greats. Why is it a problem with a LeBron?
Anyway
LeBron at 41 expected to compete to win it all. Ridiculed if he doesn’t. KD at 37 expected to compete to win it all. Ridiculed if he doesn’t. Steph at 38 team ridiculed for being in play in. I don’t know when we got here but we live in the era of discredit and hypocrisy; but how quickly we forget how we treated the greats of old. 🤷🏾♂️

Kelly Oubre Jr. with an unreal line when asked about the Sixers’ defense earlier:
“At the end of the day, man, I like white rice, and I'm just trying to be the white on the rice.”
Q @Krisplashed: "It looked like you were––maybe intentionally maybe not but…that matchup against Jalen…did you like what you had in those 1-on-1 scenarios…?"
CJ McCollum: "What you think?"
Q: "Yeah"
CJ: "Yeah"
