@TheHateCentral Why would the Lakers trade for a 25 year old superstar?

@getnickwright @twnkiehuntr Nice HarGOAT respect Nick

@Krazei15 @Shane00 No, my argument is that the Cavs payroll in 09’ was not indicative of the quality of the roster. That season specifically, they spent way too much on players that were effectively washed at that point. 37 million on those three is atrocious

[Jon Juko @jon_juko]

@Krazei15 @Shane00 Szczerbiak, Wallace and Ilgauskas made up 37 million of that 💀

@BuckLuck5 @Shane00 You’ll never guess who won MVP

@dudeonthebay @SleeperHQ The source is a randoms Reddit post 💔

@JustinMacmahan Because it’s James Harden, plain and simple

@MrOldMan9000 One of the most improved coaches in the NBA after his time in GS

[Jeremiah Johnson 🌐 @JeremiahDJohns]

This three minutes of basketball is aesthetically ugly, less athletic, less strategically complex, less skilled, and all-around just objectively worse than the basketball played today in the NBA.

@JasonMcMan77 @olympicbean rTS so LeBron gets era taxed for playing more talent

[Jon Juko @jon_juko]

@Jaws_16 @Davidchorts @FastbreakHoops5 Because he took 35-67 shots and 15-19 free throws

[Jon Juko @jon_juko]

@Jaws_16 @Davidchorts @FastbreakHoops5 That’s what his teammates shot in game 6 19-32 59.4%

[Jon Juko @jon_juko]

@Jaws_16 @Davidchorts @FastbreakHoops5 Well Harden does have the most efficient 35+ ppg season in NBA history accounting for the value of 3’s and free throws (had to do it, Harden fan) taking 14 3’s a night will tank your raw FG%

[Jon Juko @jon_juko]

@Jaws_16 @Davidchorts @FastbreakHoops5 It’s also fair to say Jordan was lucky enough not to be in a finals situation like LeBron was in 07’ and 15’ where elite defenses unshackled from illegal D could effectively guard him with their whole squad as they had no one to worry about other than him

[Jon Juko @jon_juko]

@Jaws_16 @Davidchorts @FastbreakHoops5 eFG% measures field goal efficiency not FG% but even then it’s very similar. I think you’re making the argument for me, if Jordan is your gold standard and LeBron has remotely similar numbers then surely he can score efficiently at high volume?

[Jon Juko @jon_juko]

@Jaws_16 @Davidchorts @FastbreakHoops5 I’m not saying that it would, I’m saying that they both did more than score

[Jon Juko @jon_juko]

@Jaws_16 @Davidchorts @FastbreakHoops5 He doesn’t have a chance at that possession if they all shot 43% is the point, they were equally as important. He took the attention, they made their shots

[Jon Juko @jon_juko]

@Jaws_16 @Davidchorts @FastbreakHoops5 They can go a whole lot further down from 59% and still be shooting efficiently. The Bulls were stacked and that’s fine, they won for a reason

[Jon Juko @jon_juko]

@Jaws_16 @Davidchorts @FastbreakHoops5 8 of the 10 were played in some of the slowest paced seasons on record

[Jon Juko @jon_juko]

@Jaws_16 @Davidchorts @FastbreakHoops5 Above average offensive rating with and without Jordan. Him taking a very high volume of shots doesn’t mean they were bad. They just didn’t get to shoot much.

[Jon Juko @jon_juko]

@Jaws_16 @Davidchorts @FastbreakHoops5 Now those screens have to happen our deeper than back then and it’s significantly harder to get time to work in the post
