SGA vs Kobe

[lessthanjake]

Maybe I am a moron, because I will never understand why Kobe Bryant is so important to his followers. He's just a professional athlete, and a dead one at that. It's not that serious!

As I understand it, there’s apparently literally a Discord server in which like half of the PC board constantly strategizes together in depth regarding how they as a group can optimally present pro-LeBron arguments here and make sure that the various projects in this forum get voting results that are as pro-LeBron as possible. So I’d say there’s people taking defenses of more than just Kobe far too seriously.

You know if only that discord server voted, Lebron would be down a POY, right?

You're sort of resembling those Kobe fans Tim was talking about right now...

I don’t think you can seriously deny what I said, nor are you even really attempting to do so. So yeah, there is indeed a Discord server where you and others strategize together regarding how to advance a pro-LeBron agenda here. Perhaps I should have added that you seek to make the voting results be as anti-Jordan as possible too (which certainly played out in the RPOY voting, as well as prior voting, and I’m sure will also play out in peaks voting), but that’s basically just part and parcel with the aforementioned pro-LeBron agenda. Two sides of the same coin to you. There’s not much point in even arguing about this, though, because apparently like half the PC board is on this Discord, so they all know full well what’s true.

Might be misunderstanding this, but why is this relevant here?

Can we go back to discussing SGA and Kobe now, please?

Maybe because he isn't doing anything new? Just guessing, I have no other thought as to why.

Nah, I can and will. It's the "pro lebron" part you're getting wrong. He's got the lowest entry fee, but he's not the destination; nor is he the sole ticket.

Also half? Oh you sweet summer child.

Can we go back to discussing SGA and Kobe now, please?

Oh, of course. My bad guys!

Yes, that's what I meant. He's not actively making news or giving people things to talk about but remains the center of enough folks' basketball world that he enters into or generates conversation at a far greater frequency and intensity than his equally deceased, often equally decorated peers.

But, on further review, it is no different from continuing to discuss and admire a living, retired player who is likewise done making waves.

Also on further review, the way I put that sounds crass. My bad.

There were like 2 posts in that 91 RPOY thread in particular from two users who don't have any activity beyond RPOY that literally looked like one student copied the other's essay and changed a couple words; so yeah, I thinks it's clear there's a lot of coordination at play lmao

Hey I know this is kind of bonkers but have you thought that like maybe the SHAI vs Kobe thread could be about Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and not another MJ fan therapy sesh?

[Redmoon]

Its really close and not much meaningful separation to me. I voted for SGA though. I like his ability to penetrate, manage TOVs, and good shot selection more. SGA's 3 ball falling off as hard as it did came as a surprise to me though.

Seriously lmao, all season long everyone wanted to talk about anythingh (lebron, luka trade, jokic) but okc/shai the team/player winning everythingh

And now even shai related threads are about jordan lol

[carlquincy]

Holy ****. S-tier thread, including the retired mod saying some classy comments!! Love it.

So you as a residential Realgm poster who has never played in an nba game, never coached in an nba game, etc somehow thinks that you’re right over the majority of coaches, players, etc. lmao

It's different, yes. But the idea that there is "no defense" is indefensibly stupid, and not really worth considering. Yes, even though I've never played an NBA game.

Buddy, LeBron at 39 and 40 is putting up similar scoring numbers with even higher TS than his Cleveland mvp days and anybody with eyes knows that Bron isn’t even close to the scorer that he used to be. Players take more 3s hence the “higher” efficiency lmao. But no these players aren’t better scorers and the defense isn’t good at all. Kobe would’ve Swiss cheesed every single team in the league today as he’s flat out more skilled than any player today. Yall did this same nonsense with harden. Kobe is revered by literally every single player AND coach for a reason. You aren’t smarter than everyone else just because you post on an Internet forum. Realgm opinions seem far divorced from reality not only casual fan, but from actual player/nba basis
