2020-21 NBA Offseason thread: Officially a wrap

[atlsfinest]

AD was the Lakers best player through the playoffs until the Finals Game 3.

LeBron is my guy but I'll agree with this. LeBron has higher highs (Game 5 against Denver, Game 5 of the Finals) but AD was more consistently great throughout the playoffs. At this stage in LeBron's career he has to pick his spots more.

Being 6'10" helps too.

It didn't matter when yall were screaming Dam.........nvm.

I agree. But as I said, bron was still the engine. And rondo when he went to the bench. Not taking anything away from AD, but bron is pretty damn good. AD was carrying the team. With his scoring and defense. But he wasnt bringing the ball or moving it. He was a gun for hire. Mercenary. Hired killer. I fully dig it. Same way KD in gsw. But Bron and Curry's presence meant more, in a way that cant be quantified. Like there presence. AD and KD, when they get off, they go crazy. When bron and curry get off, everybody goes crazy.

He's not a playmaker that's the major flaw in his game but it doesn't not make him an ultra elite player given all the other stuff he brings to the table. He's a tier 1 superstar unequivocally.

Something something “he was a PG in HS” something something

I kid I kid but you’re definitely right

Cade Cunningham to the Knicks.

Guess we just have to see him when he doesn't have a nuclear weapon next to him.

wth are the knicks doing lol

 

[shotsrangout]

It’s like we already know nerlens Noel sucks why wouldn’t you start mitchell

Kyrie smoking Glass is the sub plot this season needs.

It either ends like Antonio Brown and sad.

Or less likely- like Marshawn Lynch and he becomes lovable.

It's literally been 2 days. Let's calm down bradley. Talk to me when Russ has a wide open lane for a game winning layup and drives to the lane and swings it to a guy surrounded by defenders because he's missing 1 assist.

I guess PJ Tucker isn't playing tonight. The Rockets are in Chicago.

This is the body language of a player you should keep on the squad. He ready to hit the strip club!!

What's wrong with the heat culture? Everyone playing for one another, Team before individual, the best players wants the underdogs to succeed, everything earned, not given. What's annoying about that? Is it the culture? Or the media coverage of the culture?

Streetlights over spotlights

 

[nick.]

Only the Knicks would have their first preseason game lineup slandered.

Find a new slant.

 

[Based Jesus]

AD always been better than Kyrie. 2016 finals and a flashy layup package have had people thinking Kyrie is better than he actually is for a while now. It's gotta stop.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

He HAS to say this.

We will check back in during the month of March.

 

[BIG FISH]

Current AD is better than Current LeBron too

He wasn’t last year

 

[pmatic]

Knicks-Pistons is about to be jokes.

 

[wavycrocket]

He wasn’t last year

shieeeeeeeet lol. Highest playoff PER in history. Led team in virtual all statistical categories. AD’s team.

let that boy “expand his mind”

 

[Based Jesus]

AD's biggest problems have always been, as nice as he actually is on offense, he still thinks he's nicer than that, and he can never stay healthy. But in the bubble he was healthy and his actual offense caught up to what it is in his mind. Probably the ease of no longer having to play in a fan-filled arena and all the distractions that come with that.
