the Lakers with LeBron at Center…

[Marrrcuss]

So the best point guard and best wing forward that's been on our league this millennium is playing center in stretches and many of you chimed in just to throw shade .

Making excuses for another man's success is so damn weak.

Exactly. A 37 year old who has played 62,000 minutes is playing center, scoring more efficiently than just about every other high volume scorer, and is now playing his 4th position in his career, and has gone from assist leading PG in 2020 to leading scorer Center in 2022, at ages of 35-37. To even begin to explain to people how remarkable this is about a once in a lifetime talent who can do this…

No its just you guys who think anything he does is an extraordinary feat which has never happened and never will happen again.

But we have Tom Brady at 45 still playing at a high level.
Cristiano Ronaldo who is 37, 74k minutes in far more taxing sport. Still one of the best.
Zlatan ibrahimovic 41still playing at a high level.

And he is still playing the same postition he has always played, its not like he is banging downlow with center for 48 minutes

Bro, u brought up Brady, who doesn't really play but a quarter of the total game time?

[TheGOATWill]

Not super impressed with the record given the opponents. But the impact this guy still has on an offense at 37 is unreal. 127 points is terrific against anybody. Way more impressive to me, he's covering for Russ being maybe the worst professional basketball player I've ever seen.

Just wanted to say. Watched all of Cristianos games this season and he's lost a lot as a player. Dude is playing a lot like Inzaghi which is understandable. But the guy is a net negative against good teams and even middle of table teams not named barnsley or whatever.

We talk about Lebron load managing during game. What Cristiano is doing is basically chilling for 90+ minutes until an opportunity presents itself. Modern forward are required to do more than what Cristiano is doing right now. Thats why players like Benzema-Suarez are the mold many teams look for. Playmaking forwards who do the dirty work as well.
Watched their recent game against Wolves and you'd barely notice he's there. United made a mistake signing him.

And Zlatan is clearly breaking down as a player evident by all the injuries he's amassed so far this season.

Will Lebron be the first player in history to be eligible for all 5 positions on fantasy basketball?

He's the only guy ever to play all 5 positions well on both ends, as far as I can tell. Considering he was typecast as a Jordan/Kobe scoring guard early on, played PG in 2020, played the 3 and 4, and now the 5. He's mastered basketball as well as anyone in history.

Ronaldo literally carried utd to the last 16 in the cl.
This united team sucks but that is not on Ronaldo. I also watched the wolves game and you could say the same thing about any utd player.

Zlatan obviously is not the same player he was but he is the leading scorer for the 2nd placed team in serie a.

Yes and many teams play with a out and out striker.
Bayern, dortmund, leverkusen, milan, inter.
Some teams dont even have a striker, one who is running away with the premier league.

Now that QBs can't get hit and they throw a million check downs, itay become common later.
He also has 3 all pro linemen so there's that.

What does "playing center" even mean in this era lol
I've seen Miles Bridges play center for us off and on all season and he's 2 inches shorter and 50lbs lighter than LeBron. The personnel to punish these kind of lineups just doesn't exist anymore
