All I know is everyone favorite player was retired or TRASH by this point and this guy is leading the league in points

He takes care of his body, is athletically god-tier elite, and is easily a top 5 basketball player of all time that even became good at his one weakness (shooting) but he can't be the GOAT. Sorry. That's not hate when the majority agree.

Two players does not a team make

The Pels have maybe the most simplistic offensive system, but it's so damn good. The entire team is pretty much just BI and CJ take turns to do absolutely everything. Everyone else who gets playing time, just be energy glue guys.

The funny thing is, fit wise it isn't a great roster fit. But everyone has bought in completely and they play so hard every night. And damn when BI and CJ are both on, it's hard to stop them.

do people really think that the lakers can fix this team next season? They will miss the playoffs again, no doubt about it.

no one wants westbrook... maybe they are dumb enough to trade another future first rounder...but yeah, this team is just doomed for the next 5 years.

They will build around AD but he misses 30 games per season and he couldn't do **** with the pelicans.

Don't know who this guy is on NBA TV. But he looks unbelievably dumb with wearing sunglasses while inside on a well lit studio. I mean come on haha.

correct me if I'm wrong but not only did the Pelicans win but they also pushed the Lakers into the lottery which becomes the Pelican's pick if it's 1-10....that stings

Where did I say he was the GOAT in this post?

But I do have him in the same tier with MJ

MJ slightly had the better advanced numbers in his prime, albeit in a much easier league in terms of no zone D and a lack of great teams in the 90s

Lebron has the longevity by far and has the best accomplishment with the 2016 finals

I had to google "Why is Ro Parrish on TV?" earlier this season. He was the Mavs DJ.. I have no clue how he ended up behind the studio desk. He is awful.

Just wait until you hear him do a NBA Top 10.. this guy is aweful.

Watch on YouTube

EDIT: The Goatmentator is just on another level. That guy is so damn good at his job.

Two players does not a team make

But these 2 won a chip 2 years back. They just need a smarter support cast. Westbrook just such an awful fit.

No one wants him as a player, but if a team decides to blow it up and wants to dump some salary, the Lakers could use his contract to retool or rebuild.

Lakers are just 3 games over 12. It doesnt get any more pathetic than this. At this point, the NBA must officially erase the 2020 season from the records and just mention the 2020 Covid Cup tournament with its Mickey Mouse honors.

It’s still crazy. You have Lebron and Anthony Davis on the same team and they’re fighting for a 10th seed. I get the other players not being so great, but still they should be able to get a 10th seed with no problems.

Who wins?
