THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

He has no say in the design process lol man just collecting checks

No say? At all? You don't think they show him mock-ups? Prototypes? And when viewing those mock-ups, if he were like 'Oh, HAYL nah,' you think they would be like 'Well you don't really have a say so this is still what we're going with. We were just showing you'?

MJ gotta get grilled for green lighting some of the Jordans I've been seeing recently.

those rasta IV’s he got coming out soon are god awful.

 

[buc em]

Is there anyone who would choose Curry over Lebron as a PG? What imaginary accomplishment am I giving Lebron?

Figures buc em likes. If Ben Simmons can say he’s a PG, why can’t Lebron?

Ben is LISTED as a point guard. Steph is LISTED as a point guard.

LeBron basically plays the point guard role during games but you can’t give him accolades for a position he’s never actually been listed at officially in his career.

Not really surprising for a guy who never was a top-tier athlete and also never appeared to be in particularly great shape. Even in his NBA prime, he always looked a little doughy.

Yeah, he did say at his Celtics jersey retirement he never hired a trainer, just worked out with one of his homeboys from highschool.

Outside of Gary Payton and Mark Jackson, who else should bring the ball up like they did? Using the protect dribble.

Derek Harper
Magic
Barkley (Limited basis)

Anyone else?

My guess would be that he still signs off on the flagship AJ shoe each year and also maybe some of the other Jordan Brand signature shoes, but there’s no way he’s looking at all the retro colorways and other stuff they put out. Just too much of it.

I recall Van Exel doing it on occasion as well. He was just elite at using his body to shield defenders.

Kenny Smith too. You know he wasn't beating anyone off the dribble during the 2-Peat days.

Avery is also coming to mind.

Terry Porter.

Bet

Lebron > Simmons as a PG

Don't know how "official" this is, but basketball-reference.com lists LeBron as having played point guard 57% of the time this season and officially lists him as a PG this season:

In conclusion

Steph Curry can’t be the 2nd goatpg

because Lebron is

If PJ Ticker can be a C, Lebron can be a PG

Agreed. Flagship? Absolutely. Maybe not all the iterations of every retro and Team Jordan, and I doubt he even sees the signature models for JB athletes. But the flagship model every year? Absolutely.
