One more uneducated, context-less, instigation-fueled appearance and post by the one and only.

Not familiar with Gregiore, but the comment was really dumb. Hoping it was sarcasm.

Are you jealous cuz AI can’t pick up a ball lol


Hold on now,

Gregoire might not be a Chat-GPT if he isn't able to abstract from his preferences and his criteria. It's an interesting case, but we may be dealing with split-mind here sorry :wink:

If we have 2 Jordan fanboys, 1 Kareem fanboy, 1 Wilt fanboy and gazzilion of Lebron fanboys - I suppose the board are still biased? :banghead:



Your criteria is your preference. or not? or you really pretend that you are some chatGPT who could totally abstract from your own preferences here? Its interesting case...Maybe we dealing with split mind here... sorry :wink:
Anyway you are not bad poster and a drop in the ocean of one-celled Lebron fans there, who change their criteria for his idol and not vice versa.

Oh, fanboys of Lebron start moving like bees in the nest :lol:

I would be very pleasured in April-May 2024 here would be a lot of frustration when Lebron will eliminated from play-inn and... will remain with 4 ringzzz forever, haha :banghead:

The clock is ticking, I will return here in April 2024. :nod:

The low IQ of the GB is bleeding into the PC board again. So tired of the nosedive this board has taken in terms of quality of discussion.

I haven’t been watching his games as closely as I’ve liked to, but how has he looked physically to start the season to you guys? Generally, I’m getting the vibes that he’s looked great so far, relative to his age and mileage at least. From what I’ve seen of him he definitely is more picky on when to exert energy, but he’s still a massive mismatch just due to his build if he wants to bang low. His ankle is completely healed now right?

No, not "fanboys of Lebron". Rather fanboys of the truth. That's the first hint that you're none too bright. Your comment was not truthful, but obviously an unoriginal and lazy attempt to troll. There has to better than things to do with your life. Anyway, now that I know what you are, the ignore list grows bigger.

Nothing about your post contributes to relevant discussion here. Informal warning for now.

Not sure if this link will work or not, but it's a Haberstroh column on 15 times Micheal Jordan deferred taking the last shot. There are more than that obviously, but these are the 15 most obvious. Basically, destroying the mythos that he, the mighty god Jordan, would never be so plebian as to pass the ball to a teammate to win a game, instead of taking the shot himself. You know, like "Jebron Lames". Amirite! It was a nice trip down memory lane for this old Jordan fan, though. The guy made the right plays, the majority of the time, too. He was a pretty good basketball player, just like Lebron :)

I can think of a bunch of times in the last few years where LeBron should have passed but INSTEAD CHOSE TO SHOOT on the last play actually which is why this narrative is beyond absurd. LeBron haters permanently live in 2011

I will say right now I think that 10 years from now there will probably be people who have Jokic as their goat. I think he will come close to getting into that tier if he gets another ring or two among a lot of fans. Because not only does he score on volume on huge efficiency and make great passes while being an off hub but he also rebounds at a really high level. His reb %'s are right there with Duncan and most of the other great bigs of the last 40 years. So I'm not even gonna argue against the idea of it if he can keep this going for a few more years and play into his mid/late 30's. I think he ends up in the 5-8 group.

Any comments from the people talking about “anti-Jordan” posts and posters and agendas? No?

This team gives is giving me 2018 Cavs vibes. Non-existent POA defense, 0 athleticism, no ability to pressure the rim, nobody boxes out, nobody plays with physicality. Just a bunch of low IQ streaky shooters.

How do they always come out with a bad start? That is on coaching lol. Ham has to be on the hot seat. He seems like a great guy but maybe he needs to be an assistant.

Except they don’t even really have any shooters. They’re playing a modern game where they’re giving up more three-pointers than they take, they make fewer three-pointers in their opponents. They can shoot free throws, they can’t get defensive, rebounds, and teams routinely take 10+ more shots a game, how do you supposed to make up the difference?

Pelinka has had 6 seasons to build around LeBron and he's done a bad job at it every single time. He has to be in the running for worst GM of all time. The only times they've had any success is because he merely did a bad job and not horrible. And yes, that roster in 2020 was built poorly around LeBron, I don't care if they won, their shooting was ****.
