    Was never staying after the ridiculous list of tasks. Didn’t see the Mavericks as the destination though.

    Biggest fraud of all time.

    LeCON James did the following:
    Played longer in a super weak era.
    Rules adjusted to give him an extra step.
    Post handcheck era
    Lost more Finals than he won.
    Defense is non existant in this version of the NBA
    Has arranged to team up with other all stars and even HOF players everywhere he's had success.
    Is a simp

    I’m no Lebron fan but let’s put away the hateraid here. Lebron has played 20 seasons, the same amount Kareem played and in fact, at this point he has actually played less games than Kareem retired at. To say this is a weaker area is arguable. It’s possible defense isn’t played as hard as back than but I believe the skill level of today’s players far exceeds that of those that Kareem played against. Also you can probably count on 1 hand the players Kareem went head to head against that were on the same level as him, whereas Lebron has been going head to head against talented guards, small and power forwards since he came into the league.

    Regarding Lebron, people often mention the three pointers but I think the biggest reason both Lebron and Kareem hit the points record is because both of them were extremely durable players who didn’t miss a lot of games.

    I’m not going to debate every point you threw out there because some are kind of silly such as the downright lie that rules were changed to let HIM take an extra step. My point is simply that Lebron earned every point he got to break that record and no amount of hate will take that from him.

    And I thought the CP3/Blake Griffin combo was disappointing, Nets had KD/Harden/Kyrie and also never even made the conference final

    I notice everyone that defends or takes up Lecon's side never brings up how his championship success (4-6 finals record is poor) was primarily because he arranged to team up. He only started winning with all stars and HOF players. Then you had retiring players jumping on the bandwagon for veteran minimums, just to try and get a ring. He's a top 10 player all time but not the greatest. Even Kobe ranks higher than Lecon. Jordan, Magic, Bird, Russell, Kareem, Shaq, Duncan, Kobe are all above him.

    Abdul Jabbar played with Oscar robertson and then came to the lakers and had magic Johnson, worthy and a cast of killers. Let's not pretend like he was stuck with scrubs

    I would say that James coming into the league at 18 made a difference in the scoring stats where as Abdul jabber was in college 4 years where he likely would've been scoring 25 ppg in the league

    You're the only scrub here, you fucking dumb stump.

    NO SHIT playing in the league since 18 y/o helped Lecon. Then you go ahead and gloss over the fact that he joined superteams as free agents as opposed to other teams making trades to build a roster. No one is complaining about the Celtics with Rondo, KG and Pierce teaming up because the team was built. Durant is another tarnished legacy for teaming up, but if he wins with the Suns at least it will have been because he was traded.

    Who gives a fuck about whether you end up on a powerhouse team via trade, being drafted onto it or free agency? Only cretins like you

    As long as I’ve been watching (since the 80s), the NBA has always been lenient on traveling (especially with the stars), because they want more entertainment.

    About 2 weeks into his NBA career, Sports Illustrated did a cover story on Michael Jordan and said “he’s already being treated like a star because the refs are letting him travel”.

    I don’t even know how the NBA is supposed to be called there’s the written rules and how the game really is called. Everyone pushes off, everyone travels. Morant is perhaps the most egregious when it comes to carrying.

    Westbrook to the Clippers. Kevin Love to Miami. No comment.



    Lonzo Ball out the remainder of the season as his second knee surgery didn’t seem to fix his knee issue. I believe that was pretty much the same issue Zach Lavine went through. Correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t there an issue with the Bulls pushing their players to let the team doctor do their knee surgeries and that’s what happened with Derrick Roses’ multiple knee issues.

    The Clippers odds of winning a championship took a dip the moment the Westbrook pickup was announced. I have no idea why that would be since he's such a phenomenal player. You build around players like Russ.

    Never Gets Old Watching Russ WIPE His Ass w/False Narratives:duck:

    1. Russ is Selfish STAD PADDER Who Won’t Do What’s Best for the Team… - Soooo Russ Comes Off the Bench for the Lakers and is Productive to the Point of the Being the LEADING Candidate for “6th Man of the Year”…

    2. No Team Will Want Russ After His Laker Contract… - Russ Is ALREADY w/a New Team…

    3. All of Russ’ Teammates Eventually LEAVE Him and NEVER Want to Play w/Him Again… - PG13 was the Main One RECRUITING Russ to the Clippers…

    Hating Russ Doesn’t Mean You’re Right, it Means You DON’T Know What the Fuck You’re Talking About and NEVER Did…

    westbrook will get his opportunity in the playoffs to prove some ppl wrong. Im a bit surprised the clippers picked him up. they dumped wall and reggie jackson without getting any PG in return so they mustve planned on this signing all along. clippers have a lot of shooters so westbrook will have better drive/kick opportunities than he did with the lakers.

    1. Like that fucker had a choice. He was bitching and moaning the MOMENT it was suggested he come off the bench. Lebron probably beat his Tranny dressing ass. 6th man of the year? :Jest:

    2. On a BUYOUT :Jest::Jest::Jest:

    3. Maybe PG13 likes getting bounced in the first round. Like he did in his two previous years w/Wuss.

    What makes me right is your hero is inefficient, ineffective, and possesses a low BBIQ. Like lower than even 96. :duck:

    1. Uuuuuh, He Had a GUARANTEED Contract of $47 Mil, Of Course He Had a CHOICE...

    LeBron is a Lot of Things, But a TOUGH GUY Ain't One of Them...The Fact You're Even SUGGESTING This When Bron has Barely Exhibited a SHRED of Aggression in 20 Years Shows the Level of SCORNED WOMAN Contempt You Hold For Russ...

    Talking About His "Tranny Dressing Ass", Yet He's Got YOU In a Fucking Skirt 24/7...

    The Difference btwn You and REED is YOU Latch Onto to Rumors and Half Truths of GM Wannabe's, Whereas REED Actually WATCHES the Games...Yes, "6th Man of the Year"....Until the Clippers Signed and STARTED Russ, He was the Front Runner for 6th Man...The Only Close 2nd was Norman Powell, Who Will End Up Winning Since Russ Starts Once Again...

    But Yes, the STAT PADDER Managed to Be Just as Productive In HALF the Playing Time, Off the Bench...Imagine That...

    2. Utah Bought Russ Out, the Clippers Didn't, Get Your Facts...The Clippers were the One's OPENLY Politicking For and Clearing Cap Space FOR Russ....So the LAME Motherfuckers (& their GM Friends) Who SWORE "Nobody Wants Russ" were WRONG...AGAIN...

    3. You Listed PG Among Those Who COULDN'T WAIT to Get Away from Russ, Yet He was the MAIN Motherfucker Recruiting Russ...LAME Motherfuckers (& their GM Friends) Who SWORE Russ' Ex Teammates Couldn't Wait to "Get Away from Him" and "Never Wanted to Play w/Him Again were WRONG...AGAIN...

    Every Bit of NEGATIVE Energy You Invest in Russ is for NAUGHT, Because You Simply DON'T Know What the Fuck You're Talking About, as the REPEATED Interest in his NBA Services Illustrates...

    But Hey, You Still Have HATE & the Most Inaccurate GM Wannabe in the NBA to Fuel You...

    He bitched and moaned when it was first suggested he come off the bench. Obviously, someone laid the law down. His EXPIRING contract don't mean shit. He's not going to refuse playing when he's looking for his next contract. Either way, they still got rid of his shitty ass.

    He dresses like a Tranny, perhaps that's why you're such a fan???

    What half truths? What rumours? His stats are factual. His stats indicate he's a shit player. Combine that with his bone headed turnovers and trying to play hero ball, only to fail over and over again.

    6th man = not good enough to start.

    The STAT PADDER is the opposite of "productive." That's why he's getting tossed around like a 2 dollar whore every year.

    Did PG not leave WB after two first round exits? Who gives a fuck what PG says PUBLICLY anyways, it sure as fuck wasn't his decision. What's he supposed to say?

    You aren't allowed to state that I don't know what I'm talking about. It has already been established that compared to me, you're a FUCKING idiot. 145-96 scoreboard ho.

    He "Bitched & Moaned" According to WHO, Exactly???...You're the Fuuuuuurthest Thing from a CREDIBLE Source When it Comes to Russ, So Please ELABORATE or Shut the Fuck Up...

    An Expiring Contract IS Value, Dipshit, Especially a $45mil Expiring Contract...If Your "Source" Actually KNEW of Which He Speaks, He'd Have Told You NBA Franchises COVET Them...

    What "Got Rid" of Russ was His Half Time Shouting Match w/Darvin Ham, the Night Bron Broke Kareem's Scoring Record...Less Than 24 Hours, Russ was GONE...Anything Beyond That is SPECULATIVE and WISHFUL Thinking of a HATER...

    REED Doesn't Give 1 Fuck How Russ Dresses in His Spare Time, He's a BASKETBALL Player to REED, Not Someone He Patterns His Lifestyle or Attire After, Sorry...

    Russ' Stats Indicate:

    9x ALL-NBA
    9x ALL-STAR
    3X Assist Leader (Selfish)
    2X Scoring Leader
    2017 League MVP
    Top 75 Player in NBA History
    Sure Fire 1st Ballot Basketball Hall of Famer

    Only THE Most Basketball IGNORANT Motherfucker Would Say Those Are the Stats of a "Shit Player"...You're Either IGNORANT or Straight Up Spreading RUMORS & HALF TRUTHS On Some Weak Ass Agenda Based Bullshit...But Since Your Homoerotic Ass if Fixated on Tranny Shit, SUCK on THOSE Stats While You're @ It...

    6th Man ='s Willing to PLAY YOUR ROLE, Something You Said Russ was INCAPABLE Of...That's the Thing w/You, You CONSTANTLY Move the Goalposts and TWEAK Your Russ Arguments...So Now, Playing His Role AIN'T Good Enough...

    You Said Russ Would NEVER Make the Playoffs Sans KD, But You TWEAKED That Argument to "Never Make it Out of the 1st Round", AFTER Russ Made the Playoffs Without KD...You Said Russ Would NEVER Win MVP, Then Created the STAT PADDER "Logic" to Tweak It...

    Show REED a "Productive" Player That DOESN'T Impact the Stat Sheet, He'll Wait???...Yet More 2-Sided BULLSHIT You Reserve for Russ, Exclusively...

    PG13 Leaving OKC Had NOTHING to Do w/Russ, it Had EVERYTHING to Do w/Kawhi and Going Back Home to LA...But That's Just It, Every NEGATIVE Occurrence Automatically Falls in Russ' Lap, in YOUR Warped Ass Mind...Death, Taxes, Poverty, Hunger, Covid, Trump, Unemployment, the Common Cold....BLAME RUSS!!!...

    Oladipo DIDN'T Leave OKC Because of Russ Either, Neither Did Sabonis...Bradley Beal Had NO Issues w/Russ in Washington...It's All BULLSHIT Messy Ass "Fans" Like YOU Try to Convince Themselves Of, No More, No Less....

    The Fact of the Matter is When You Have to CREATE Narratives, Move GoalPosts, When You Have to CONSTANTLY Tweak and Modify Your Russ Related Opinions, It's Because You're Consistently WRONG About Him...PeriodT!!!...

    REED is WELL Within His Right to Tell YOUR Bitchass What He Does/Doesn't Know...You Beat REED in a SPATIAL AWARENESS IQ Test, Which Basically Means You're Better Suited for Interior Design Than REED Is...If Any Fightbeater Needs The Contents of their Refrigerator or Panty Canned Goods Organized, YOU'RE the Guy...

    But Basketball???...Fuuuuuuuuuck No...You're 20 Years in the HOLE When it Comes to Hoop Debates w/REED, Mija...

    & You KNOW It...

    Report: Lakers got pushback from Westbrook on changing role, "impossible" he returns

    Do you want more?????

    What does the value of an expiring have to do with, well anything in regards to the Lakers or Clippers? Are the Clippers paying him 45 Million? No. Are the Lakers? Not anymore! :Jest:

    Yes. Got rid of. He's no longer a Laker. Fucking moron.

    Yeah you don't care about how Russ dresses. Explain the obsession then?

    You list awards as "statistics." No wonder you got a 96. Do you even know where Russ ranks in assist to turnover ratios?

    6th man = the Lakers benched his ass. See link above.

    All these claims of statements I made, provide the links please, I'll wait, along with Roy's B samples. :pop:

    So you just admitted that PG picked Kawhi instead of Russ? Yeah I imagine he would after 2 straight 1 round exits. :duck:

    The test had NOTHING to do with "spatial awareness" and if you think so, that 96 was merely luck.

    You got your ass beat. Plain and simple, ask and you shall receive dumbfucking lowlife.
