Scott Foster just ruined a classic Christmas game between the Wolves and Nuggets.
That call came from Adam Silver this isn’t hoops man wtf did I just witness.
Nuggets gave this game away and refs gave it back to them unbelievable sequence of events.
It doesn't matter how many rings Lebron wins. It really doesn't. What he did in his era, along with the situations he was in, makes him the GOAT. Thrived against the toughest competition, thrived in a slow pace era, thrived in the fast pace era. He did more with less. There is only one finals you can argue he should've won, and multiple you can argue he easily should've lost (2013, 2016).
People who believe Jordan is the GOAT say Jordan's 6 titles mean more than Bill Russell's 11, John Havlicek's 8, because Jordan faced more competition. Is that not fair to say for Lebron as well? It's simply not possible to win two threepeats now. With how competitive it is, it's been difficult for teams to even repeat, the arguably most talented team ever had to be assembled for it to happen once in the last decade.
Think about it not as in how many titles he won, but how many titles he gave his teams chances to win. So many of his teams had no business chasing a title. He wasn't gifted an incredible defensive team with elite costars and coaching. Even when he formed a "superteam", his teammates production wasn't on the level of the non superteam stars costars (for example, Pippen, Gasol/Odom).
Lebron is simply the most well-rounded player ever, too. Elite playmaking, rebounding, shooting, passing, scoring, defense. His game is also incredibly adaptable and consistent. Compare him to players such as Kobe and Jordan, who relied on tough shotmaking to impact games. Lebron's ability to get to the basket and make plays has been ridiculed (because its not "pretty 💅", but it made him so much more reliable. Look at his Olympic stats compared to theirs. It's laughable.
Everything he has been doing since 2020 in these olden years has just been to add to his legacy. He's been more than impressive in these years. He's basically been in the Jordan Wizards phase of his career. Even if his next game is his last his legacy is cemented.
he had 1 reb, 2 ast, 1 stl, 3 blk. i’m genuinely shocked seeing the takeaway be that lebron was somehow bad in the 4th. ik we like to lie about bron but this blowing my mind tbh
Sources: In a blockbuster move, can confirm the Dallas Mavericks have traded Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis and a first-round pick as part of a three-team deal package with the Utah Jazz.
Steph, Klay, Draymond and Iggy can get KD to play with them, the top seeded OKC thunder can add the best free-agency big and an All-Defensive guard, but 40 year old Bron and AD can't ask for a quality big man whose name isn't Jaxson Hayes.
Do better, Chris.
Ashton Jeanty will go down as the most deserving player to not win the Heisman.
He’s done things we’ve never seen from a running back & did it all without striking a Heisman pose after every score.
As an honorary member of the PAC, I feel the need to say this:
If Jeanty doesn’t win the Heisman after rushing for 2000 yards and 30 TDs & leading his team to the CFP, the award has lost all meaning and purpose
Especially when he loses it to a media hyped showman who’s #1 stat is “snaps played”
It’s really bad that it’s even a conversation
Ashton Jeanty sat out the entire second half when up 28-7 while Hunter stays in the game up 45-0 in the 4th to statpad. Really makes you think about who the more valuable player is.
