    All the best players are always "injured". Nothing like watching a double header of the Nets backups playing the Sixers backups followed by the second team for the Lakers taking on the Clippers without Kawhi and George. Hard pass. I'd rather listen to Elise Woodward butcher a Husky softball game on the corpse of the P12 Network. I might tune in for the playoffs when all these legends will miraculously be nurtured back to health.

    Lakers v Clippers for the right to face the Nets

    Nothing else matters
    There's something off with the Clips (ILTCTTC). No chemistry, some selfish veterans.

    Probably Lakers v Suns.

    I think Americans in general are pretty much done with the NBA. The players would be better off going overseas and playing in the Euro and Chinese leagues. Pretty soon those markets will be more profitable for the players anyway.

    The Clippers will be the Clippers

    The league just isn’t that interesting until the playoffs. And even then it’s just a few teams that have a serious shot.

    Too many games. 82 game regular season plus 7 game playoff series? Yawn

    I was disappointed in Bron's China comments (and hypocrisy). As evidenced in this thread though 99.9% of the anti-GOAT arguments for him are rooted in some sort of political angst (even if not explicit). Which is too bad because he's unequivocally the greatest basketball player of all time, by almost every relevant metric you can pull.

    He should probably shut up then. He opens himself up to criticism with his poorly thought out comments.

    Also, fuck outta here with the greatest stuff.

    Unequivocally?

    Physically you might be right. But the game is more than that.

    I hated LeBron long before he said anything political (or at least before I knew he did).

    I think he's unequivocally in the top 2 with a real argument for #1. I don't think he's the clearcut #1 though.

    I hate MJ too fwiw.

    I was a Dr J, Magic, and Kareem guy with Earl Monroe as my role model so it took me a long time to warm up to MJ. Happened last year watching the Last Dance


    Always been a Lebron fan on court. It is rare to live up to or exceed the hype and both Lebron and Tiger did it. Remarkable even with the flaws

    Idk the product is not that good as it used to be. Have to wait for the playoffs for some competitive games. Also everyone is abusing the resting players policy.

    For all his faults Stern was the boss and the players respected him even if they didn't like him

    Silver is weak and the inmates are running the asylum. The league mandated that players play in national TV games and the players said fuck off

    LBJ isn’t the best player of all time ... and definitely not by almost every relevant metric

    GTFO with this terrible take

    MJ would wipe the court with LBJ

    Noticed Jeremy Lin’s name is missing from y’all’s lists.

    I think we know why

    We’re really going to pretend like he doesn’t have one of, if not the highest basketball IQ’s in the NBA? He’s playing chess against a bunch of guys playing checkers.

    The China shit was bad, but the players were pissed because they were the ones in China that actually had to answer for Morey’s comments.

    Lebron would cry at the things Larry would do to him.
