The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

Flopping, temper tantrums, true LeBron has a couple more.

Jordan definitely has punched teammate count over Lebron

 

[shopson67]

Lebron fans hate the truth lol

...and balanced takes from a guy with Jordan as his screen name are impossible.

Odd looking bong

Zaza was the same basic thing.

Clumsy oaf trying to contest a shot on a far superior athlete.

Body out of control, gets under shooters foot.

Not calling Sabonis an oaf. But Tatum and Kawhi are capable of putting guys like him on skates. So you get a little lean in the wrong direction, you lunge to contest and this is the result.

That kind of foul should be called a Bruce Bowen.

I felt like when I watched replays zaza took an intentional and unnecessary step but then again that was a slow motion replay so you may be right. I do think they should do a better job of determining which one is a true reckless close out and which isn’t. Not everytime a shooters lands on the defender foot is a reckless close out but they won’t be changing this unfortunately

I find it weird that they focus so much on this but leave players in the paint out to dry in terms of landing area. I realize it's harder to carve out landing space, but then maybe 3 point shooters shouldn't get extra protection.

Allowing the high five when defending a shooter is a weird choice as well.

They also don’t consider some guys jump forward when shooting. Sunday night I was watching the Heat game and Wiggins got “fouled “ on a 3 pt shot which Charlotte challenged. Wiggins feet were inside the 3 pt line at the end of his shot lol

Shouldn’t get any protection if you don’t go straight up

Gets you real high….


Like paint the ceiling high….

Dogshit is an overstatement, but the Lakers really aren't meshing well with everyone back. The stats point to Lebron's defense. Did he forget all that buy in that was working for him defensively, or are these just terrible matchups? He was fine offensively last night, but still the worst +/-. Turnovers were under control, but the 3 point shooting for everyone other than Luka was subpar.

It's also possible Bron isn't 100% and it's showing more on defense, maybe?

If Tatum got hurt, they'd change the rules so you can't jump from inside the 3pt line and land outside it.

Anything to protect their 3 point contest style basketball.

Celtics fans are calling for a Sabonis suspension.

Yeah right dude that team sucks without Curry.

Now? Yea. We are talking about his career and where he ranks.

This or back obviously. If you enter the defenders space by leaning in you should be afforded no protection

The only reason I say no is that usually means they kick their legs up

But if they can can fadeaway and not do that? Sure



Note this is also means no protection for sideways jumps


This includes shots at the rim

Not sure there are any Lebron fans here. don't think any who would completely push back on MJ as the GOAT.

But those MJ nuthuggers.......

No lebron fans? Riiiiiiight.

 

[shopson67]

I've had Jordan as my GOAT for some time, but Lebron's longevity is keeping the discussion real. Not my favorite though (either of them); that would be Magic.

 

[dtgold88]

correct. Only the MJ nuthuggers like you think not even a discussion on who the GOAT is.

But you do you.

Helped bring my team a title and still like Magic more than Lebron.
