Do you expect everyone to write a full dissertation for each post? Your points are rubbish. I hold several science degrees. Stop drinking. It’s late.
All those degrees and you can't differentiate between "too" and "to"? Did you get them from Amazon? You write like Kyrie Irving

I really hate standing up for quacks, but he's using to properly here.

Its pretty remarkable that even outside his athletic prime, he's still able to contend for best player in the league and his team is probably the favorite to win the title. And this Laker team is not a super team. A 4th title with this team earns a lot of respect if he can pull it off. I know MJ also won finals MVP at 35 but LeBron has a lot more miles which is in someway pretty impressive.
I will say AD is getting a lot of disrespect from people in general but I do think LeBron is the engine of that team and would most likely win finals MVP if they do make it,

In 2018-2019, LeBron on the Lakers with no AD = Lakers miss playoffs and LeBron quits on the team, decides to end his season early.
In 2019-2020, with Anthony Davis (and Danny Green and Dwight Howard and Avery Bradley) added to the Lakers to team up with LeBron = Lakers win the title? If that happens, not sure that really helps LeBron's legacy. If anything, it shows how good AD is.

It's stupid to judge LBJ on only one season since he was not in good health in the second half of the season and had missed by far a career high 27 games ... Especially he had made the final 8 years in a row before 2019, including one with a bad roster in 2018
No doubt, Davis is one of the big reasons for the success of the lakers, but Davis also missed the playoffs last year.

4 MVPs
3 FMVPs
16x all-NBA (counting this year)
#3 scoring all-time
#8 assists all-time
#1 playoff points all-time
#1 playoff steals all-time
#3 playoff assists all-time
#6 playoff rebounds all-time
His accomplishments speak for themselves.

How does Duncan not get closed off from an argument for #1 by Russell?
