If Kareem wasn’t the GOAT why would LeBron at #1 on the list be the GOAT

Another example, if LeBron retired before passing Malone there would be zero chance people say Malone was better šŸ˜›

Because LeBron has already secured himself as top 3, for me top 2

So its more a bad argument to say LeBron being #1 in points all time makes him the best of all time

#

imo, top 5 is just not that good as a metric.

maybe if you do it by position, or a facet of the game like top 5 defenders. too much talent to pick 5 players, its apples to oranges, too

Pretty much the beef was, Kareem was seen as better than Wilt. Wilt felt he never got his flowers

wilt definitely got his flowers, but, so much of his career is just lost to time. not a lot of 60s footage of him.

Bill Russell won 11 championships in the late 50's and 60's going 11-1 in the finals.The NCAA wanted to stop Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. He spent his first season with the UCLA varsity team dunking on anyone and everyone. In the short term, it was successful. Then known as Lew Alcindor, the two-time National Player of the Year didn’t dunk during his final two varsity seasons. But what the NCAA’s ban on dunking did was force Abdul-Jabbar to develop one of the most unstoppable moves in basketball history. Hakeem had one of the most nastiest moves ever (The dream Shake) and was cooking the best centers of his decade like Shaq,David Robinson and Patrick Ewing

I always forget about that

An Open Letter to Wilt Chumperlame

It’s been several years now, Wilt, that you have been criticizing my career with your friends in the press. Since this pattern does not seem to have any end in sight, I feel that I might as well have my say about the situation.

It would seem that someone who achieved as much as you did would be satisfied with his career. After all, some of the things you did in your time were quite admirable and have given us an enduring set of records for the books. So why all the jealousy and envy?

In trying to figure this out, I started to look for what you would be jealous of, and that’s when the picture started to become clear. Many remember how frustrated you were when your team couldn’t win the NCAA tournament. Your talent and abilities were so great that everyone assumed the NCAA was all yours. But after a terrific triple-overtime game, Kansas lost. You complained about the officiating, your teammates and other things, and then quit, leaving college early to tour with the Globetrotters. That seemed to set a pattern for you. After any tough test in which you didn’t do well, you blamed those around you and quit.

#

In professional basketball, Bill Russell and the Boston Celtics gave you a yearly lesson in real competitive competence and teamwork. All you could say was that your teammates stunk and that you had done all you could, and besides, the refs never gave you a break. Poor Wilt.

In 1967, your team finally broke through. That 76er team established records that are still standing today. But the following year, the Sixers lost and, predictable as ever, you quit. You came out to L.A. and got with a dream team. The only lack that team had was leadership at the center position. Bill and the Celts took one from you in ’69, and the Knicks followed suit in ’70. People are still trying to figure out where you disappeared to in that series. True to form, after the Knicks beat the Lakers in the world championship in 1973, you quit and haven’t been seen on the court since.

Of course, you came out every so often to take a cheap shot at me. During the sixth game of the world championship series in 1988, you stated, ā€œKareem should have retired five years ago.ā€ I can now see why you said that. If I had quit at the time you suggested, it would have been right after a disappointing loss to the 76ers. And it would have been typical of one of your retreats.

But after that loss, I decided that I had more to give. I believed in myself and in the Lakers and stuck with it. We went on to win three out of four world championships between ’85 and ’88. The two teams you played on that won world championships, in ’67 and ’72, never repeated. They never showed the consistency that the Lakers of the ā€˜80s have shown. And you didn’t want me to be part of that.

Given your jealousy, I can understand that. So , now that I have left, one thing will be part of my legacy: People will remember that I worked with my teammates and helped us win. You will be remembered as a whining crybaby and a quitter, stats and all

There were some talks on a new deal for Irving, but no deal was reached and a trade request was delivered to the organization today, sources tell ESPN. Irving can leave the franchise this summer as a free agent. https://t.co/vnNWbUW56S

Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving has told the franchise that he wants to be traded ahead of Thursday's deadline, source tells ESPN.

ESPN Sources: Brooklyn’s Kyrie Irving has not shared a list of preferred teams, but he has maintained an interest in the Lakers. LA is expected to be among the teams that’ll explore a possible trade with the Nets.

atomic swan
#

YES YES

#

It’s all planned

#

This is staged affair

@cyan sonnet @shut socket you see this?

Lebron gonna make rob get this deal done

#

And if Kyrie starts drama legm will make rob trade him again lol

shut socket
#

lebron's gonna pack Russ's bag

atomic swan
#

I’m confident Russ won’t be a laker by the end of trade deadline at this point

#

I was actually happy for him earlier this season he was playing the way we needed him to for a small stretch and I thought he finally found his niche

#

But he’s way too inconsistent

shut socket
#

ya

#

kyrie or anyone would be an upgrade

atomic swan
#

Yes

shut socket
#

47 mill just to be on the bench

atomic swan

Exactly it’s a waste of money

idc if he is a good bench player

atomic swan

If u making 47 mil u should be playing like it

#

everyone was saying that westbrook was no longer the problem but in reality it was kinda the opposite

#

the worst thing is that the contract in near unmovable

#

Reporting with @espn_macmahon: The Mavericks have had previous interest on Kyrie Irving and are expected to explore idea with Nets ahead of Thursday's trade deadline. Like most teams, the Mavericks have had had a reluctance to make significant offers of assets for Irving.

#

The Los Angeles Lakers, Phoenix Suns and Dallas Mavericks have emerged as potential suitors for Brooklyn Nets All-Star starter Kyrie Irving, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.

shut socket
#

welp

#

kyrie should be a laker soon

#

the lakers went from trying to get fvv to trying to get kyrie

#

skip still gonna say that this team is trash

atomic swan
#

If anything he’s been less efficient this entire season than Westbrook

#

Up until the last few weeks

#

Also why does Dallas want Kyrie

#

Spencer is that second guard to Luka

shut socket
#

just so the lakers don't get him lol

atomic swan

And when Luka isn’t playing he usually shows up

atomic swan

Now the suns I understand

#

Cuz cp3 has been stinky

And a new pg in Kyrie would help them

idk if the nets would want cp3

then again you could say the same for westbrook

If anything he would have been better this year

Because our defense got better

Yeah

#

In 2019-2020 we were a top 3 defensive team in terms of defensive rating and it made Vogel even better and made things easier for him because his main coaching focus was defense
