Who, LeBron? Come on. He is already a Top 5 all time player.

Only to fanboys

Jordan, James, Wilt, Kareem and whoever's else you want from Kobe, Oscar, Magic, Malone, Bird, Shaq, Russell or Duncan. No one from that bottom group is pulling James out of that top group and certainly not 2 of them.

Lol

I’ve been one of the biggest lebron love-to-haters around, but I’ve even warmed up to the fact that Lebron is among the goat players.

I also think it’s highlarious that the biggest threat to Lebron as a player hasn’t been really any other individual team or rival star.

Indeed, it seems the biggest threat to player Lebron’s legacy is GM Lebron.

lulz

Hardly 2018 but was thinking he might get comeback player of the year. If there still was one.

Which pre-injury time?

Geez - Good question!
I will never forget Game 1 of the 2012 playoffs leaving with about a minute and a half left in the game and the Bulls up 12. The 76ers had all but conceded the game and the last 90 seconds was just a formality. The girl I was with said to me, "why is Rose still in the game"? I didn't think twice about it. As we are walking out all of a sudden there was a gasp from the crowd and then silence. We happened to be right near a monitor and saw Rose laying on the floor in agony. That was the end of Derrick Rose as the world knew him.

Lawson at 44
Dotson at 73
Grimes at 83

interesting

May 29th is last chance to withdrawal I think.
You have to imagine Hampton is waiting to see what happens after the combine.

has anyone heard anything on Grimes?

Has he said or done anything definitive e.g. hired an agent?

Has he even hinted that he could return?

“I don’t anticipate knowing anything on Devon until probably close to the 29th or Silvio (also close to the 29th),” Self said. Asked specifically about Dotson, he added: “I think everybody would like to see him come back. If it’s in his best interests to go (to NBA), he should go. If not, he’ll certainly be back.”

Lawson, a junior who is projected as a possible second-round pick, has said he will keep his name in the draft no matter what.

Asked if Grimes also is planning on staying in the draft no matter what, Self said: “I haven’t been told that at all. I think all indications are that’s the direction he’d like to go if at all possible.”

Lots of other good nuggets in the article

Grimes is a meathead if he stays in the draft.

NBA just sucked a giant _____________ . Zion and Ja going to SMALL market teams. Not good for anyone!

It's good for those teams and those markets.

Zion is going to be a bust anyways

True

Will be interesting to see. My guess is there are as many if not more people who hope he is a bust than those who hope he is a annual top 10 player in the league.

Not as much that he’s a Dukie but more from being sick of the coverage. I hope he’s above average, like the 3rd best rookie in the class, that’d be enough to keep the coverage under control.

I dont care about the coverage of him now that he has moved on to the NBA. It was annoying when he came up in every college game I watched. He won't any more. Problem solved. I dont watch enough regular season NBA or SportsCenter for their spamming of him there to bother me.

Do you even watch the NBA brah?
