Clippers and Celtics can't make any more trades until this season is over. IIRC that was part of the Doc Rivers arrangement after David Stern blocked the first deal with KG involved.

EDIT: I worded that wrong. They can't trade with each other until the season is over, obviously not banned from making any trades.

You're right. Totally forgot about that. That was overkill.

Even the bench players don't wanna watch that game
I don't even want to watch this game.

Actually I'm not, I'm getting dinner ready

Not sure how you can't consider Lebron one of the Goats in the game.

Many of you duds consider Mike / Kobe goats.

Why not Lebron?

more willing passer / better defender and just a good of a scorer if not better than those other 2.

*shrug*

just sucks to see people get away with comments like the above. I'm deduced to only thinking you're too young to have watched Jordan and/or Kobe or are at best a dotcom tom, media parrot, box score w-hore. what sucks beyond that is that if you look at accolades even MJ is still the most decorated. first team all defenses. DPOY. nobody debates whether Lebron will be an all time great it's just saying he's the best and supplants greats that make people side eye.

more willing passer? as opposed to not being able to shoot nearly as well as the others and that being his strength? did you know Michael Jordan averaged 8 assists in a season? did you know Jordan averaged a triple double over the course of double digit games when he had to play pg? say all you want but both MJ and Kobe have shown the ability to pass at a high rate but both have talked about a jumper from a superstar being a higher quality shot than from a bum. Lebron has never shown the ability to shoot anywhere as deadly as either of those guys.

better defender? stop MJ and Kobe were far superior in their lateral movements and this shut down guards in their prime. Bron floats around playing D for spurts on various guys. But I'll take Kobe and MJ as far as having a guy play lock up perimeter defense ANY DAY.

better scorer? just gonna laugh that one off bro. :lol:

Whether I agree with him or not, I'm fine with LeBron promoting himself (except the dunk contest nonsense). Hopefully it just gives guys like KD motivation to try and take his crown.

trash. none of the greats proclaimed themselves as the best all time. they may have known they were the best but no self proclamations. they're all for the most part consensus. by fans and more importantly the actual all time greats. Bron on a media campaign for DPOY when he doesn't deserve it. and now this. i feel like I'm watching a sorcerer cast a spell on dudes. and at the end of the day what's worst about it all is it ain't true. could be a debate at best but def not a consensus.
