David Lee is having a great game tonight

 

[awwsome]

To have KD and Lebron both playing at the same time is such a blessing as a basketball fan

 

[RayCashhhh]

Same time and both are in their primes. One right in the middle of it, the other just getting into his.

Now if the Wizards could stop the Blazers from scoring literally every trip up the court I would be gucci right now.

Historically speaking on other greats...Lebron included...it may be arguable if KD is in his prime or not. Stats may not show it because of Wade and Bosh's presence but that 2nd year in Miami, Lebron entered his zenith. He figured out that nobody could guard him in the post and it was a wrap.

All I'm saying is we've never seen an athlete like kd. Imagine Tim Duncan crossing fools up and hitting step back one legged bank shots

 

[T0INE]

Free throws?

Yeah, I was gonna mention this.

LeBron is about a 75% career FT shooter, which isn't bad per se, but as talented as he is, I like to see him get in the 80% range.

Looking up his career stats his highest FT% for a season was 77%, and that was his 2nd year in Miami. He's also had seasons where he shot in the low 70s and one where he shot 69%.

I'm nitpicking a bit, but that one area of his game he can improve.

 

[RayCashhhh]

I mean everybody knew all LeBron needed was a post-up game, people were clamoring for him to get one for YEARS. It wasn't until he was a no show in the finals that first year for him to realize that he had to change things up.

In my lifetime, I've been fortunate enough to witness MJ in his prime, Kobe in his prime, LeBron in his prime now and KD about to enter his.

Feels good man.

If KD can shake the Basedgod curse, the sky is the limit.

That's a big if tho.

 

[RayCashhhh]

He's going to shake it this June believe that

The only thing Lebron does better than KD is play with higher defensive intensity but KD is better than him offensively so it's a wash

[Peep Game]

David Lee definitely had a better game than Howard tonight

nah man... lebron makes that entire offense go.. sure KD scores more and its more effortless for him to score... but lebron is magic 2.0. once his athleticisms gone if he works on his post game enough he could last another 3-4 years IMO.

 

[ballinsam23]

I truly believe KD is gonna go down as the greatest scorer ever.

Is that even that much of a stretch to say. Don't think you're really putting yourself out there with that

 

[mister friendly]

KD was a facilitator while Westbrook was out and still giving you 30 PPG

KD definitely makes OKC's offense go when they need him to.

KD did it for a handful of games. LeBron did that since his first game in the league on those **** teams they trotted out there in Cleveland
