Jesus Christ. Are we still trying to compare this 38 year old to his prime? He's really old and doesn't have the motor and athleticism he once had. That shouldn't have to be said. And no, I'm not just alluding to MosHeat. The cat in the TV guy knows his basketball that's for sure, but yes he is the eternal pessimist in regards to Lebron. It's the nit picking of someone who really likes the player but seems to have trouble accepting the player's regression due to age and injuries. But, I do like his strategy and other basketball takes. He knows his stuff.

As for the guy coming into a Lebron James message board asking why there are is so much talk regarding Lebron James? De derp. And I don't subscribe to the Curry garbage point thing. He's great. Very great. AD? He' soft. No other explanation that I've heard of, yet. He's just frustrating in that he can look like the best player in the game one day and then complete garbage the next. He's not an old guy, so not sure the issue.

The Warriors shoot well. Tremendously well. It's what they do. Incumbent on Ham to figure that out. Is he up to the task? I guess we'll see.

The same would be true for Jordan if this was the 90s.
