Am I retarded for thinking Fultz right now in Brooklyn would put up similar numbers than D'lo will 3 years deep?

Those two get mentioned together as being similar but I don't see it. Fultz is a better athlete and better slasher and if the jumper get's right he's almost as good from the perimeter.

Only TWO of his 36 shot attempts during preseason were ISO, bu-bu-but Kyrie doesn't like to pass. :lolbron:



This is true, Bron needs to do more ball movement and in case anyone notices the only teams that beat LeBron in finals are ball moving teams... If breh played OKC in 2011-2016 finals hed have six rings. Just my analysis for the past few years

I honestly have absolutely no respect for anyone's player ranking list that still has LeBron James has the best player in the league. Never have I seen a player get dominated at the highest level of basketball by a player at his same position and still be given the benefit of the doubt. The idea because that a player can raise a team's floor takes precedent over a player being able to fit in any environment and raise a team's ceiling is quite mind boggling to me.

It's fascinating because everyone sees it this way. Amazing

You say that but then realize we got nikkas like Hayward, Anthony Davis, Cousins, PG13, Harden and KD before Warriors not really doing shyt on Brons Level.

People can keep trying to tear down LeBron but no one will do what he has done in his career breh

Like saying he lost in the finals how many times, but put any other team instead of his Heat or Cavs and no other east team would win in the finals in 2011-Present

I'm not taking away anything from his past but he's not currently the best player in the NBA in 2017. He's just not.

My point is he's being given the benefit of the doubt because what he's done in the past. Similar to Kobe. How many years have we had to hear that Kobe was the best player in the league when LeBron clearly had surpassed him? Both Durant and Kawhi have surpassed him as a player and people are too stuck in the past to realize it. He got taken into the deep waters and drowned by a player at his same position in the Finals and the media is pretending that didn't happen because KD played on a loaded team as if Lebron's teams weren't loaded during his prime.........KD finally had the opportunity to play LeBron one on one and everyone is salty because he dominated.

Just so happens that KD's style of play actually elevates the talent around him to having a super high ceiling while Lebron's skillset can elevate the floor of a team while putting a limit on it's ceiling.

Oh yeah after the shot over Bron in the finals i started to think KD is what Bron was in like 2013.

KD is 1 and Bron is 2. Doesn't really matter to much because the number one guy can still lose in the finals and add to the fact KD is fishy because he had to go to a team that would literally be a cheat code. Put Bron on the Warriors and it's the same :yeshrug:

They're two different types of players. Fultz is a better athlete and scorer, D'lo is a better overall shooter and probably a better passer.

Fultz will put up stats and will probably be more consistent. D'lo will just have really explosive nights where he goes for 40/50 on ridiculous efficiency but then turn around and have 9 points the next night. Not really comparable
