Say a dude who isn't really hard to guard or skilled yet is the 3rd all time leading scorer and have a career avg of 27 ppg.

This coli hot takes are some of the dumbest and I mean dumbest I have ever seen.

This shyt like saying brett farve couldn't really pass the football.
These dumbass nikkas would get banned off any serious sports discussion platform with the shyt they spew here.

But every sports outlet media person and coli heads always say the season don't start until after all star break. So is it Ooochie Wally or is it one mic?

One game doesn't matter. The only thing to take away from regular season games is how teams match up. Right now the Clippers are a bad matchup for the Lakers cause they have 2 guys who can guard LeBron on the perimeter. Come playoff time Kawhi is gonna lock up LeBron. And we'll see if LeBron wants to guard him on the other end.

The LeBron/Kawhi match up will decide that series. And I think both the Lakers and Clippers know Kawhi has the edge there.

:mjlol: and Dirk scored most his points off of pick and pops and not post ups or drives. So should that be the reason some folks doesn't respect him.

Or how Kareem scored probably 1/3 of his points off of sky hooks. So should that be a reason folks shouldn't respect him.

Dude you sound brain dead...:mjlol:

Not many people respected Dirk until that 2011 playoff run. If he never wins that title he probably retires with the label of being a soft euro. Kareem's sky hook came after working nikkas in the post. That one on one play dumbass.

You musta never hooped if you can't understand what is being said here. Go out to the park and play full court tomorrow. Then start calling for picks every time you have the ball and see how nikkas look at you. Scoring on your defender without a pick will always get you more respect than needing to switch to an inferior defender and then scoring due to confusion by the defense in their rotations.

SMF and LAX to VA and NC
Actually that's false. The only time Kobe and Duncan met in the playoffs post-Shaq was in 2008 and Kobe won that series 4-1. Its IMO Kobe's most impressive playoffs series given the fact that he defeated the reigning champion Spurs that had Duncan, Parker, and Manu with just Pau Gasol as his sidekick. And he did it by being in absolute control of every game. His most FLAWLESS series ever given the quality of opponent.

I said I don't buy into that line of thinking, which is as dumb as yours, the Magic and Cavs met once in the playoffs. This is the same Dwight who got to play with Kobe and Harden and couldn't make it work, he's had plenty of opportunity to prove he's superior to LeBron (and a number of other superstars)......one series victory a dozen years ago in a career that is now 16 years doesn't prove shyt, it probably makes more sense to use the aggregate of Dwight's career to determine how he stacks up to LeBron rather than the single time they met in the postseason...

My mention of Duncan/Kobe, again which I would never ascribe to anyway, was predicated by your dumbass Dwight/LeBron take...

Its kind of funny just how many players from his era have said he wasn't the toughest to guard. But its understanable. Lebron offensively is pretty predictable. What makes him tough is his brute strength and playmaking skills. Players like Kobe, Carmelo and Durant are much more difficult matchups for perimeter defenders

then how come Lebron done torched everyone? Doesn’t that make him Even better if he’s predictable but has a scoring output around Kobe’s?

Claim the #3 all time scorer and #9 all time assist leader isn’t hard. So what’s that make everyone else?

How many scoring titles does he have in 17 years in the league. His offensive repertoire is not as advanced as some other players from his era. That's not even a slight at him as a player.
