King James just went deep into the OP with no Vaseline. This gotta hurt! ointer:<<

The record has now been broken by the LeBron James’ rookie card which sold for $5.2 million. The sale is also the joint-most expensive sale ever recorded for a sports trading card. In January 2021, Rob Gough had purchased a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle card for $5,2 million, according to ActionNetwork.com.

The LeBron James’ rookie card sale means that 2 of the most-expensive sales ever recorded for sports cards feature NBA stars. The Luka Doncic rookie card sale is third on the overall list, with only one other NBA card sale part of the top 10. Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 2013-14 rookie card, featuring a NBA Logoman patch and his autograph, had also sold for $1.8 million, and is the tenth-most expensive card sale recorded in history.

LAPD union calls for NBA to investigate 'hypocrite' LeBron James' anti-police tweet

Union leader says James' tweet was meant to incite violence

Detective Jamie McBride, a member of the Los Angeles Police Protective League Board of Directors, ripped NBA player LeBron James for a tweet about the Columbus, Ohio officer involved in a shooting, urging the league to investigate the Lakers star.

The Los Angeles Lakers superstar is under fire for a Twitter post with the caption "YOU’RE NEXT #ACCOUNTABILITY," with an hourglass emoji and an image of one of the officers at the scene involving the shooting of 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant.

<source media="(max-width: 767px)" srcset="https://a57.foxnews.com/static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/content/uploads/2021/04/1470/828/Lebron-James-TWEET.jpg?ve=1&tl=1 2x" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><source media="(min-width: 767px)" srcset="https://a57.foxnews.com/static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/content/uploads/2021/04/1862/1048/Lebron-James-TWEET.jpg?ve=1&tl=1 2x" style="box-sizing: border-box;">

(Twitter)


"…No officer wants to take a life, but I'll tell you one thing, that officer saved a life and he's a hero," McBride told "The Ingraham Angle" Tuesday.

LEBRON JAMES NOW-DELETED TWEET TARGETS OFFICER IN OHIO POLICE SHOOTING: 'YOU'RE NEXT'
"…One of the biggest hypocrites out there is LeBron James," McBride argued. "LeBron James has talked time and time again about police officers and how bad, they’re all killers. However, they're also doing protection at his house. Off-duty officers provide security for him and his family. So you have killers at his house providing security for him."

​

McBride and his organization, the Los Angeles Protective League, sent a letter to NBA commissioner Adam Silver to formally request an investigation into LeBron James’ tweet to determine if the player violated any league policies.
"LeBron James sent that tweet out to over fifty million followers to incite violence is basically what that tweet did," McBride told Laura Ingraham.

The professional basketball player deleted the tweet after posting on Twitter. The detective added the NBA has been "silent" on this situation.


"Celebrities all throughout Los Angeles…and LeBron James hire off-duty police officers who do security at their houses for him, but they won't mention them in anything because obviously, they're going to look bad to their followers," he told Ingraham. "They're trying to create this image of being a crusader and what they are is inciting violence."

Dr. J omits LeBron James from his all-time first and second NBA teams

Forget the GOAT, according to one NBA legend, LeBron James is not even a top-10 player of all time.
Hall of Famer Julius Erving omitted James when he was asked to list who would be on his first and second all-time NBA teams during an appearance on the podcast “Posted Up with Chris Haynes.”
Dr. J said his first team would consist of Elgin Baylor, Wilt Chamberlain, Oscar Robertson, Bill Russell and Jerry West. His second team would include Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan and Karl Malone.

​

James is often debated with Jordan (who was curiously on Erving’s second team) as the greatest basketball player of all time and still has a few more years left to cement his legacy.
But Erving explained why he omitted James:
“When you look at LeBron, and anybody that he sort of picks with him … He’s the guy who has led the charge in terms of super teams being put together,” Erving said. “When he put together the team in Miami. He put together the team in Cleveland as well, and he put together the team in Los Angeles.”

​

Haynes noted to Erving that super teams have always existed in some form or another, to which Dr. J replied, “They weren’t picking their own teams.”

</aside>Erving appeared to favor players of his generation, though, and did not include any player who played after the year 2004 on his list. Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O’Neal and Tim Duncan could also make a strong case to be included on either of those teams.

Is it?

Did you watch the NBA before and during the Jordan era? Back when teams still played defense, as opposed today's ballerina basketball?

Overrated whiny soft-ass bitch would not have won a single championship.

Not one.

Scoring is about the same now as it was in the 80s, aka when they played “defense.”

More physical play was definitely allowed in the past, but the talent level now is easily superior to the talent level of the past. Sometimes people who used to play are biased toward older eras.

Classic example is Charles Barkley basically critiquing the Warriors for being a “jump-shooting team”, even though that “soft style” got them three championships.

Dr. J has had awful basketball takes before, so this is hardly a surprise coming out of his mouth. Loved him as a player though

 

[raiders72]

LeBron gets a lot of points through layups and dunks. The defense lets him drive because of the new rules and the restricted area under the hoop. There are many good 3 point shooters today and it opens up the court. Imo, many would be better than LeBron back in the day.

Sports used to be about competitiveness, what James, Wade and Bosh did when they shopped their services together was an all-time first

Dr J is right about that

Barkley is right.

There's no comparison to today's soft b-ball to an era where you had to fight for every inch, and playoff series were outright wars.

No way LeBron could handle the bad boy Pistons like Jordan had to push through - they would have destroyed him.

Same with Curry. He wouldn't even survive in this league, let alone be draining 3s from half court.

Watching players like Ben Wallace, Mutombo, Patrick Ewing, David Robinson, Hakeem destroying divas like LeBron on a nightly basis would have been such a treat!

Cop consults with LeBitch before he gets involved with a knife attack:

 

[SheriffJoe]

LeBron gets a lot of points through layups and dunks. The defense lets him drive because of the new rules and the restricted area under the hoop. There are many good 3 point shooters today and it opens up the court. Imo, many would be better than LeBron back in the day.

There's a reason players like Charles Barkley mock the current generation. He played in that era and knows the price he had to pay on every drive, the of kind physical relentless battering and bruising which takes a toll in a long playoff series. LeBitch had to be carried off the court because of a leg cramp - he wouldn't have lasted even half a series in that era.

Steph Curry reminds me more of Screech from Saved By The Bell than a basketball player.

The constant "Jordan versus LeBron" comparisons are beyond laughable, which is why many players like Dr J. don't even have LeBitch in their top 10.

Nice to see LeFlop back from injury tonight.

 

[festeringZit]

Lebitch's first game back:

Sacramento: 110
Lakers: 106

LeBitch adds to his record-breaking total of turnovers with 5.

LeBitch's all-time NBA turnovers record: 4,581 <--- By the time he's done, it might be a record that is never broken.

RIP Screech, he would probably light Curry up with his hands if that emasculated dork wanted to get mouthy with him like he does on twitter when entering the political realm.
