1) KD is the best basketball player on Planet Earth...

2) 73% of Realgm posters don't want to see Brooklyn win a chip, 99.9% of Bostonians don't want to see it either.

3) Boston will never be a better team then the KD and Kyrie lead Nets.

Great player, but virtually every time he’s ever driven to the basket it’s two free throws or an And 1 attempt regardless of circumstance.


Such a liar

When the ratings stink they will blame Covid 19 when in reality a lot of it will be BLM/Politics but they will refuse to acknowledge that.

So what you're saying is the popularity of basketball and the money made from more eyeballs is most important?

I do not support BLM, however I do understand this nation has a problem.

LeBron is way better than Michael Jordan and far better than anyone who has ever played the game. It's not even close.

I think some fans are jealous of players and always have one player that's the bad guy they hate. The Durant hatred went way way way overboard into insanity if you ask me, and a guy signing free agency isn't enough reason for a rational human to start hating another one in that way.


Disloyalty is way more palatable to left-leaning people. That's why they're pro-choice and seem to care more about the tough situations of groups different from their own. I'd estimate that over 80% of KD apologists are left-wing. That would be interesting to find correlations between political preferences and certain NBA opinions.


not gonna argue it but here's a link explaining liberal vs conservative morality stems from conceptions of the family. liberals believe in a nurturant parent model and conservatives believe in a strict father morality.

Uhhh....wut? If someone is so turned off by the floor saying black lives matter and players echoing the sentiment then odds are they have to big of a racial hangup (nicest way I could put it) to be a steady long term fan of the NBA (where, hint...most players are black).

Also, pineapple on pizza is great and the guy talking trash about Mexican food should be banned. :D

Interesting, that's how I always thought of it. Left is the coddling mom while right is the unsympathetic dad. Either side to its extreme can be toxic childrearing.
Also, something that might surprise people. I think when it comes to athleticism, agility, physical attributes and skill I rate LeBron only in the top 50.

Chris Paul is overrated and has spent more time as a non top 10 player than a top 10 player.

The two titles LeBron won in Miami could have also been won in Cleveland under considerably less scrutiny.

Derrick Rose would've been a way better player than Allen Iverson if not injured and could've cracked top 15 all time.
