Kyrie: For first time in career, I have a guy that can close besides myself
- Thread starter Squirrel from Meteor Man
- Start date
I'm as big a Bronsexual as anyone, but I can actually kind of see where Kyrie was coming from
I'm trusting LeBron with the ball in any clutch situation, over any player in the history of the game, because he will always make the right play whether it's to score or pass or take a foul, etc. and 8 times out of 10 you will get a positive result
But when we're talking about pure shot making, players like KD and Kyrie are lethal from any area of the floor and it's a 60/40 ball if they're taking a defender on ISO and either pulling up or taking it to the hole. LeBron has always been pretty shaky from 3 point range and is not that kind of blacktop player who gets saucy on a defender.

Its because they know he's just as good or better than kobe/jordan and it really eats at them.
Yep, shyt like this is why sports discussions is trash these days. These dudes are emotional messes making emotional arguments.
"X player doesnt do this!"
--Posts factual statistics, video and logs of X player doing that consistently--
"That doesn't count because I say it doesnt"
At some point you have to realize its like arguing with women. (silly women I mean, no disrespect intended) Their argument is rooted in emotion, so the facts don't matter because the facts don't do shyt but strengthen their emotional response to shyt. Thats not a debate or a discussion at all at that point. Its just nonsense.

Nah, it's because everyone on his team is diminished to prop him up. Wade went from a top 3 player to Hersey Hawkins in the eyes of his fans. First game of the year Gordan Hayward broke his leg everyone claimed Boston's season was over. Boston makes the playoffs, LeBron beats them and somehow it's one the greatest feats in sports History.
I only deal with facts
Narratives > facts
And before Kyrie hit “the shot” guess who brought them back from a deficit...

Facts don't equate truth though. So it doesn't matter

The deal would have had the Suns sending their pick to Indiana too.

Dame really loves Bron tho. I remember him shytting on Kyrie for leaving...said something like he can’t see who wouldn’t want to play with Lebron...Sad part is Bron & Kyrie were absolute dynamite together. And their ring will always be the most epic out of any of the rings Bron has.
Not to mention a scorer like Kyrie game would always benefit from a playmaker like Bron as opposed to another scorer like KD.
Maybe one day he’ll get it....maybe not doe

Never heard about that. Only the PG deal
Heard it was a 3way with Denver
Nuggets got Love (really wanted him and he would have been perfect)
Pacers got Gary Harris
Cavs got PG
I thought more of Trump supporters than women when you said that.
Try to argue that Trump is racist to a Trump supporter. I have a list of 50+ examples of Trump being racist. It makes NO difference to them. LeBron haters are exactly the same way.
I remembered the Suns-Pacers deal well cause I had been arguing for the Cavs to get them and posters thought I was talking crazy, then it broke that it was really on the table.
This article says that Griffin getting dismissed by that idiot owner is what killed the deal, but other articles say that LBJ refusing to commit past 2018 was the issue, and another one says that the Suns not wanting to give up the #4 pick is what sank it (that certainly didn't work out well for them). My guess is that if Gilbert had been willing to risk LBJ leaving, Griffin would have figured out a way to make it happen.
