I think he is a superstar actually. Much like Boston KG and prime Draymond Green were superstars.


KG and draymond are two completely different tier of players.

He's not that guy.

Good player, but he's a no.3 on a championship team.

"Mvp caliber" is underselling him. He is ascending to goat caliber.

I love him as a player and would definitely want him on the Celtics, but he's a clear #3. If he's flanked by two dynamic scorers (say, Tatum and Brown lol), he'd probably thrive even more. Right now he only has Jimmy, and Herro can be game-planned for.

The Heat just can't rely on him to score. He was clearly afraid to go to the rim whenever Time Lord was lurking in the paint, and he hesitated a lot even against Horford. I hate to call his Game 3 performance a fluke, but it's looking more and more like it was once Horford and Time Lord locked in on him.

he is a center lol thats traditional. theres a reason why he dropped in draft.
you will never win a ring with those types. same with embiid.
Doncic will be goat. Lauri will be his sidekick.

He’s undersized as a PF and C, which is why he’s a great fit for Heat Nation.
Thanks for all the great memories, LeBron! The show must go on! #Heatnation

He just needs to spend the summer working on his three point shot. He looks lost on offense with everyone out there launching threes lol.

This. Everyone can become a good three point shooter if they spend one summer working on it.

Misses a ton of games? What? Have you even bothered to check that stat out? His only notable injury was this season.

I hope he keeps getting low credit. He's playing great for us and i dont care how other people value him

:lol:

Exactly! Remember when people used to clown Shaq cuz he couldn't hit free throws and then he came back next season dead eye from the stripe?

It's EASY!!
