Then you aren't looking. Clear as day he's declining.

People think it is a slight to say LeBron is "declining" or "lost a step". There is no need to get defensive about it. He is in Year 19 (as a full-time starter his entire career) with no major injuries and has played over 250 playoff games. He is going to have his prime-esque moments but his game has definitely adjusted due to age (see: lazy three point attempts in clutch time instead of attempting to get to the rack). It happens to all of the GOATs but they are good enough to adjust to not be totally washed.

Declining at this point in his career is not a bad thing. It is natural.
 
Hard to do that when I didn't expect anything from the Celtics. They were a walking 8th seed from the jump.

True but he’s a max player on a max deal. Considered a top 15-20 guy in the league. Can’t say I had high expectations for the Celtics but him shooting 39/31/80 is going to get him some LVP votes.

Your ability to find a way to slander the Celtics unprovoked is second to none :lol:
 
MVP - Steph Curry
DPOY - Draymond Green
MIP - Tyrese Maxey
ROY - Scottie Barnes
Sixth Man - Tyler Herro
COY - Steve Kerr - There are other suitable candidates, but what Kerr did, he's been working with the young talent for the last two years to get to this point.
Exec of the year: Tommy Sheppard. Marc Eversley should also be considered.
