I appreciate all greatness too and don't have favorite players. Opinion is still that LeBron don't compare to MJ, there's zero hate in my thought process

I mean, I guess but it's a moot point if he's still the best player in the league and a walking NBA Final appearance.

LeBron is absolutely slowing down, and had lost some bounce...
... and is still (for me) the best player in the National Basketball Association.
And I'm not even sure it's unintentional, not having as much bounce and slowing down a little. In other words, it wouldn't surprise me if a reporter asked him about that and his response was, "Yeah, that's true, and intentional." He's been to 4 straight Finals runs, and would be smart to realize he doesn't need to jump out the gym if he wants to extend his career as far as possible.
Marathon/chess.
Not sprint/checked.

It is not a moot point when saying that Kevin Durant should be afraid of entering his conference.

For sure because the Cavs aren't missing anyone.
Gasol means way more to the Bulls than Love means to the Cavs.

Bron definitely has lost a step but I seen that coming, it's amazing that it's taken him this long because dude has played more basketball than any other player since he's been drafted.

That's where the conversation started
If CLE resigns Love and adds veterans, why should KD/Beal/Wall fear them

Until KD actually enters the conference, I don't really care for the whole KD to wiz talk. It's irrelevant to what's happening right now.

no need be egotistical. no one calling nothing w/o money on the table.
yeah, gasol brought in for this purpose because rose, noah, and butler couldn't get it done.

Man what?
How KD and Wall would co-exist?
Yea I'm sure KD would hate getting great passes of stagger screens and great passes in transition from Wall.
Don't see a 40% 3pt shooter and the second best pure point guard in the league jelling at all.

I wasn't talking about KD to DC. When I quoted freeze I was talking about Lebron declining. That's when I entered the conversation. I didn't mention KD one time.
