Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
People were comparing him to Kobe and Jordan. He has raw athleticism, just that the light skin boy named Steph ruined his plans IMO. What happened on Friday with Blatt getting fired questions if he can even reach the finals this year. :francis:


The Spurs have ruined his plans more than anyone else, they are directly responsible for half of his finals losses.

LeBron is one of the best players ever, again, Wilt isn't looked at as a disappointment today. Everyone just talks about how much of a beast he was and most rate him higher than Russell, the guy he continually lost to.

Yeah, the Spurs are :old: now and The Warriors are young brehs that are blowing everything out. Yeah the Spurs gave Bron headache in the past, but now everyone wanted Bron to have 1 or 2 more championships wins with him. I know chances of winning gradually deplete after 30, just that for someone named King James, he could handle things better. Not a Bron hater, just a bit disappointed that he not living up to his skill. That's all.

The issue with LeBron is and will always be his streaky jumper, his confidence and approach is directly tied to whether or not his shot is working for that game or series. If the shot is working then everything else works, if his shot is off his teams generally fall apart.

Lebron also has to have a certain type of team built around him due to his play style, and it's just fate that the specific type of team you have to build around Bron is the exact type of team that the warriors can blow out on offense and the spurs can squeeze to death on defense...

Man this site is shyt when it comes to this
Again, I clearly put the .... In the title meaning it was stated later. I thought that would be understood. All people have to do is listen to the audio. It's still a stern statement and not completely misquoted. He references the clear leader of the Panthers and says "we don't play like that". Cam rally's his team to play better and fearless. The Cavs don't play like that. What would you deduce from that? He's not gonna come out and say Bron isn't a great leader or men.

The frustrating part is that he doesn't need to have a team built around him that way, we've seen him play in the post and do it well, we've seen him play off the ball and do it well, we've seen him do a bunch of things that would work if he would just step back and play off the ball at times. He should be playing PF right now with a team built around him and focused on making teams defend him with their PF, like the Warriors do with Draymond. His refusal to play off the ball now, and play PF is why the Cavs had to take on Love. They could have built a team around him similar to the Warriors, but LeBron's rigid idea on how he should play is what is hurting them.


They wouldn't need to go out and find a PF to matchup with Draymond, they have one already, he just wants to play SF.

Nah, his career is already a success, Wilt isn't looked at as a disappointment and neither will Bron :yeshrug:

To be fair, Wilt disappointed in his career and is slightly overrated. Dude wasn't even the best player in his era and couldn't will his way to victory despite his absurd and undeniable athletic superiority. LeBron's the modern day Wilt.

I know you rep the Celtics, but Wilt was rather clearly the best player in his era

Bill Russell would even agree

Wilt is almost always ranked among the Top 5 players ever, and most of the time he's higher than Russell. ESPN Just had him ranked as the 2nd best center ever behind Kareem, popular opinion on Wilt is that he's one of the single greatest players ever, disappointment is rarely mentioned.
