Hoops SZN

His Airness still the GOAT. The King undisputed No. 2

[Hoops SZN @LBJGoingForGOAT]

@boy__speaks @ESPNInsights Yes he got a few more cup tourneys after this still too. Can easily finish his career with 25+

[Hoops SZN @LBJGoingForGOAT]

@eturlet4523 @nbarealist23 @TheHoopCentral @ThrowbackHoops Playoffs being 2-3-2 at the time massively played in their favor also to finish it in Detroit in 5.

[Hoops SZN @LBJGoingForGOAT]

@OleAhhNigPAT @DavidSuslenskiy @philfanacc AD woulda been the best PF this generation but he forced to play C.

[Hoops SZN @LBJGoingForGOAT]

@apersonaboutit @Shane00 They are 3rd in defensive rating. Cavs were 4th.

[Hoops SZN @LBJGoingForGOAT]

@apersonaboutit @Shane00 Spurs were ranked higher this season and have the DPOY. Points allowed were only less for Cavs because scoring and pace league wide were lower as a whole at the time.

[Hoops SZN @LBJGoingForGOAT]

@LeBarbosa112 @BigWaffal @NickStillHere 1986-87 when he averaged 37ppg on 27.8 shots the league average was 88.8 FGA.
This year? 89.1. Where are these extra shots you’re talking about?

[Hoops SZN @LBJGoingForGOAT]

@Raragunner @TylerHeroStan @BiasedHouston Are you sure about that? When LeBron, Kareem, Magic, Kobe, Shaq, Tim, Bird, Wilt are all commonplace in Top 5 lists?

[Hoops SZN @LBJGoingForGOAT]

@LeBarbosa112 @BigWaffal @NickStillHere Why didn’t he just take those extra lay ups back then? Pace was pretty much the same. You’re assuming the opposing teams won’t make adjustments. That he’ll just shoot those extra lay ups and make them. That he won’t get tired taking 30+ and miss some shots also. For 82 games.

[Hoops SZN @LBJGoingForGOAT]

@BigWaffal @LeBarbosa112 @NickStillHere The only way it would be possible is if he has a three ball and shoots at a higher clip than he did. Even then could be a stretch. Definitely won’t be easy, and for sure isn’t doing it multiple seasons.

[Hoops SZN @LBJGoingForGOAT]

@LeBarbosa112 @BigWaffal @NickStillHere Go look up some data if you think 80’s and 90’s were the slowest. Hint, they weren’t. He is not averaging 40+. 50, not even remotely close. He averaged 37 taking 27 shots a game and 12FTA. He is absolutely not taking 30+ shots per game while also getting 12-14FT’s. It’s laughable

[Hoops SZN @LBJGoingForGOAT]

@Pizza19Mike @BigWaffal @NickStillHere Why dont you go look up some league pace average stats. It was not “much slower”. At all. 2000’s was slow.

[Hoops SZN @LBJGoingForGOAT]

@GskiiGriffey @solrxflre @TheDunkCentral @anthonyVslater And he was hot. Same logic still applies to what J Dub is saying. Close game in a game 7 and he went down.

[Hoops SZN @LBJGoingForGOAT]

@ZachSchumaker Knows they need him

[Hoops SZN @LBJGoingForGOAT]

@bballbreakdown @canonnz_ If he stood still or went straight up defender would’ve missed him or just grazed him. He jumped sideways so the defender would hit him.

[Hoops SZN @LBJGoingForGOAT]

@BrickCenter_ Just returning the favour

[Hoops SZN @LBJGoingForGOAT]

@CCknockout @theblockspot The NHL doesn’t care about US vs Canada, they don’t get “sent down south”. The players play where they get drafted and traded to. 25 teams vs 7. Where do you think most will end up?

[Hoops SZN @LBJGoingForGOAT]

@silveradolord80 @kdr_golf @espn 7 teams compared to 25. This discourse of US vs Canada in the NHL is weird. It’s a pro league, anyone from anywhere can be drafted and traded to any team, and they don’t really care as long as they get to play hockey.

[Hoops SZN @LBJGoingForGOAT]

@MillionsTheGoal @iam_johnw Players used to get more FT’s than people realize

[Hoops SZN @LBJGoingForGOAT]

@kyokxtsu @GinoHard_ @theblockspot Yep

[Hoops SZN @LBJGoingForGOAT]

@Kayd24 @bobcousyburner6 @ARPLeighton @zaayy11 @HeatCulture13 Says the dude just using stats himself earlier…

[Hoops SZN @LBJGoingForGOAT]

@Kayd24 @bobcousyburner6 @ARPLeighton @zaayy11 @HeatCulture13 Literally the next SG on all-time list. 2009 you can argue he was even better. More 1st place MVP votes. Saying he was never close is just lying.
