LeBron is still the best player in the NBA, Giannis and Kawhi just kept the throne warm for him it seems. He’s still tops in game control, and the other players just don’t seem to have it in spades like he does. There’s no way the Clips team loses tonight with Bron in for Kawhi. That takes, oh I don’t know, actual ******* leadership. You need that in playoffs.

Lakers v Nugs should be a blast. I want the Lakers to win it for Kobe, plus I’m a huge Bron fan, so why not.

Seconded.

Jokics vs AD is gonna be epic, I'm getting Duncan vs KG vibes.

Joker has more wins but AD has always shown out against the nuggets.

People have no appreciation for what LeBron did for so long being his team’s best defensive player, primary offense iniator, and scorer.

Nobody (non center) has made the defensive impact James made in 2016 playoffs while doing everything else.

Kawhi didn’t do anything defensively in these playoffs. 110.8 DRtg with, 101.9 without. Kawhi was +2.7 on court for the entire playoffs with a stacked roster.

The entire narrative was that he was supposed to be the clamp in the playoffs but it seems he missed that all time defense the Raps helped him with last year.

Lebron is a GOAT candidate.

Kawhi is nowhere near it.

LeBron on defense has looked noticeably better than Kawhi in the bubble. Like the dude looks like 2013 Bron on that end.

I still remember Lakers fans being upset after LeBron initially signed and wishing Paul George came instead :lol:

Is it safe to say the 3 best playoff performers in the league are all gonna play in the Wcf?

Double bigs is about to pay dividends big time. Jokic kills small ball centers

Anthony Davis still the most productive on the team in the season and playoffs.

I mean what do you expect from a fanbase (talking generally, of course) that not only spewed vitriol in defense of a CLEARLY worse player than LeBron, but also unironically stanned an adulterer at worst, self-admitted rapist at best?

The Lakers are massive in my home country and it was **** hilarious how mad people got when Bron spoke up during the memorial. **** like "not one of us" "he was better" lmfao get Jingled you moronic ****

These "fans" don't deserve guys like AD

I need Lebron and AD to come out focused game one and beat the breaks off this team. I'm worried they might have guys that can guard Lebron reasonably well.

Remember everyone thought the Mavs were chokers in 2011. They were up 2-0 vs Portland and then they tied it up. Went on to win series vs Portland and then beat Lakers and then OKC and then Miami. No one thought that up front before playoffs.

Difficult not to get caught up in the moment... But Tatum may have an argument?

I just love Jokic so **** much
