The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

[thunderc]

Got to be something we don’t know about

One more short flight then I’ll take my duties back. You have done a fine job, no Thunder losses in my absence.

And then crash his body into 7 footers while trying to get to the rim on the very next possession.

Sometimes leading with that elbow and going right through contact like a running back.

Real soft.

I get it. Idol worship

0.....MJ without Pippen?

Pippen also won 55 and made EC semis without MJ. Furthest MJ ever went without Pippen and most wins in a season?

I get irrational people get spooked by direct questions but don't be afraid......see if you can answer. Use a lifeline if need be.

Man look, I'll make this simple, MJ was better than LeBron. All your posts, all Lance's posts, expound all you want, it won't change that

How about instead of "making it simple" you answer the questions I asked? Would it help if they were multiple choice? Here they are again........

MJ titles without Pippen?
Furthest MJ ever went without Pippen?
Most games MJ won without Pippen?

Don't be afraid little fella.

Pippen was drafted to the Bulls fool. MJ didn't hop around from team to team, hey, let me go sign with Larry Bird or Magic Johnson or the Bad Boys...LBJ hopped teams like a scared bunny rabbit

Who exactly has actually said LeBron > MJ, anyone? Name the person or people and the comment numbers.

The fact LeBron is only compared to MJ is actually a compliment. But haters don't seem to understand that at all.

I have never seen any of the regulars in the NBA threads say LeBron > MJ.

So he's only the 2nd best player all time. Man he sucks!

I am not arguing anything to the contrary. None of this has anything to do with who is better.

It is push back on the haters.

And I don’t care where you have him ranked. Calling him “leflop” or “lechoke” is blatant disrespect to the talents of one of the 3 best players of all time.

Hyper focusing on his negative traits without mention of all the endless positives he brings on the court is hate. Pure and simple.

That is what I am pushing back on.

Stop flopping and choking then...

If MJ was drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers…

Or better yet, if Krause had been an incompetent GM and failed to put any decent talent around him AND if he had played in the modern era with modern free agency rules…

Do you honestly believe he is staying in 1 city?

MJ didn’t leave because his hometown franchise was able to build a winner around him. LeBron didn’t have that luxury.

He has actually choked less than MJ and Kobe based on stats.

Ive never said he wasn't the second best. But ANY criticism of LeBron, after he CLEARLY shit the bed last night, the criticism was fair...and here comes his slobbering band of slurpers with the hater talk

Horseshit. I have an 8th grader who could have made that inbound pass last night.
And he choked less because when someone throws him the ball at the end of games he throws it back like hot potato

Do I have to explain the different CBAs MJ played under compared to Lebron, too?

what the hell are you even talking about? No one here is afraid to criticize Lebron. Only ones here afraid to criticize are you and couple others of MJ.

Ironic, huh?

Please keep your crusade going. It's great Friday entertainment.

You look completely foolish. So anyone that has disagreed with you you've called them names. Good for you.

"Pippen was drafted by the Bulls fool."



WRONG!

He was drafted by Seattle.

You really should stop talking immediately.

Nope.

Try again.

And if you want a fair comparison, the only possible way you can compare anything 2025 LeBron is doing is to the Bullets version of MJ.

And if all you did was criticize last night?

You would get no pushback.

That is not all you did.

You said Pippen was drafted by the Bulls, comment # 14905.

Cool....let's see something other than your emotions/agenda to make your case.
