The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

"first off I'm not a LeBron hater" <---Oh yes you are. It's hilarious you can't/won't/refuse to admit it. So you incorrectly call me a LeBron lover when my original comment in this thread was about the outright lie jordan23 said about LeBron falling on the ground in pain for 45 seconds each time he gets fouled.

I was questioning the insane lie that LeBron hater belched out. Try paying attention.

And to call me a "LeBron lover" shows just how ignorant you truly are.

"he is not the only one to be compared to Jordan."

Alrighty then. I'll call your total bullshit out. Name another NBAer that's only compared to MJ. And if you still incorrectly insist there's another NBAer out there only compared to MJ prove it with a real article. Not some random person's opinion on social media.

1) I like LeBron
2) Kobe

You self-banned from the politics forum. I just avoid it as much as possible.

Not a self ban anymore

Seriously?!? Getting down towards playoff time and 20 year old Kobe shit is all anyone can think of to discuss?

Should we talk about 30 year old Jordan shit instead?

Only if making things up for which to be critical about current Lebron compared to 30 year old MJ shit.

How about how much LeBron + the three point shot have made the game so unwatchable I have to seek out an NBA message board to complain about a game I claim I don't watch?

and don't forget to make Lebron responsible for the 3 point shot.

We could talk about how the Nuggets shooting 70 percent for a half was actually a good thing for the Thunder.

I know that Detroit is not as big a market as Philla, but with how the season has played out I kinda feel that any remaining games Philla is scheduled to be on national TV should be switched to Detroit.

Just listen to Jokic people

Nikola Jokic says 'true basketball' fans 'should appreciate' the OKC Thunder

After playing two consecutive games against Oklahoma City, three-time MVP Nikola Jokic had high praise for the Thunder.

It reminds them that they haven't won anything yet?

The Pistons playing the Wizards tonight and the Pacers and Bucks playing tonight it is sure set up to be an exciting stretch until the playoffs jockeying for 4, 5, 6 in the East. And if the Knicks could flounder a little more it could be 3, 4, 5, 6.

They are well aware of that, moreso than anyone in fact. But a reminder that it doesn’t always go according to plan doesn’t hurt anything, they have been pretty much having it their way every night.

I wonder if you find many of your fans in forums like these to be like the Cavs fans I see.......win and it's "who cares, only playoffs matter" (and sure, essentially true) but lose a couple or even struggle to win and suddenly the regular season matters.

Fans come in all kinds, but the lead the Thunder and Cavs have kind of minimizes all that this season I think.

Would have thought, but not in the forums I'm in. Very good amount who are not happy unless complaining about something/someone after every game. 14 game winning streak (3rd of 12 or more) and 54-10 record? No matter. They never "disappoint". Hell, if nothing else after every win now they can cry that Hunter is not starting over Strus.

And of course there were many who have just been so critical of Altman and the FO and simply not in them to be happy where the team is now (and maybe own they were wrong).

I mean, I get the MO.....this way if the team loses any playoff game and/or does anything but win the title they get what they really crave in sports. The I-told-you-so fake personal win. Weird way to be a "fan" but whatever.

Going from 14-68 to home court in round one would be pretty damn impressive (heck, so would 6 seed)....especially without arguably your 2nd best player most of the season and no major FA acquisitions other than guys not wanted by previous teams.

I saw one graphic showing it is the biggest single season winning percentage improvement without getting a HOF player in either the draft or trade.

I said post something legit backing your claim up.

Your opinion isn't a legit source.

If you're so sure other NBAers have been compared to MJ the exact same way LeBron has been you should have no problem finding a real article backing your opinion up.

But you didn't do that. Wonder why that is?

I think it's fair to say were times Kobe was...especially pre Lebron. To level Lebron has been? Hell no.
