Have a best player leave a team, receive nothing in return, and many will be lottery picks as well.
Lebron left the HEAT and they made it to game 7 in the 2nd round just 2 years later.
Just 6 years later, they're back in the SHIP.
Cleveland hasnt recovered b/c they franchise is fun by poop
Anthony Davis always reminds me of Kevin Love in Minnesota who also plays top level defense.
What always fascinated me with Anthony Davis is if you asked 30 gms who they would take Davis or Harden i would guess almost all 30 would take Davis. Yet Davis could never lead the pelicans anywhere. He won one play off series. Yet Harden was in the play offs every single year. Were those rockets teams really all that better than those pelicans teams? I mean hell, some of those years the rockets 2nd best player was dwight howard.
Davis is the perfect 2nd banana.
Just my take.
The hate for LeBron is not baseless.
I don't think Kawhi Leonard is the best player in the NBA.
Shit, LeBron isn't even the best player on the Lakers.
Yeah you cant be objective. You have no idea what youre talking about if you think AD is better than Lebron
AD gets the stats he does BECAUSE of lebron
Thats the first I’ve ever heard that Kevin Love plays defense much less top level defense .
AD has had a better playoffs to date than LeBron, but when it is winning time like shutting the door on Denver, LeBron is still the guy. Guarded Murray down the stretch of game 5 and then exploded w/ virtuoso performance in gm 6. He turns 36 in 3 months so he is pacing himself more.
It is easy to say AD is better because the bill won't really come due. Easy cop out. If you say Kawhi or Harden is better, well they have to play eventually in a lot of instances and then we see how that goes.
Wait, you're making the argument that Lebron steps up in big moments in the playoffs? Now that's one I've never heard... steps up and passes it, you mean?
Anthony Davis PER rating in 2018-2019 (without Lebron): 30.3
Anthony Davis PER rating in 2019-2020 (with Lebron): 27.4
Yeah. Davis only puts up numbers because he's with Lebron.
Are you a retard?
