Awful game by Brick. He's becoming the third best player on the team.
4/12, 0/3 from 3, total of 13 points.

Where were you at the beginning of his career?
Can you say one of the NBA’s greatest of all time?
His son had 39 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, and 4 steals last night in the G league…
I’m not a huge fan of LeBron but I recognize talent…
I consider Willie Mays the greatest MLB that I have ever seen, but you remind of the fans that criticized him when he played for the Mets at the end of his career…

He's just a Jordan fan boy who can't deal with LeBron being the GOAT, so he's always lashing out with stupid threads like this

That's misleading since he's prob taken 75 shots that qualify. They could pull some old lady out of the stands who'd have the same odds.

Tell me you don't follow the NBA without telling me you don't follow the NBA. Top 25? LOL

Lets face it, lebron is still talented but he hasn't been great for at least 5-6 yrs. He's like some aging tennis player hanging on and making money by making it to the quarterfinals in lots of tournies.

His numbers the last 5-6 years are virtually the same as his career numbers, go look it up

Stats are for baseball. Stats are meaningless in the NBA because no one tries for 2/3ds of the season.
That clip of yours was the most NBA I've watched this year, yet I can still have opinions lol.
Brick just blew the game with a lazy inbounds pass and miracle 3 by Bulls.

He is still great, and a bad 12 second sequence doesn't change that. Funny how you can have an opinion on a player in a sport you don't watch and know little about, but hey, that's what these forums are all about, everyone free to give opinions

Yup, that's what makes the internet great. I consider my lack of watching the NBA to be a plus - I stay above the fray and am not emotionally involved.
That's why my insights are so keen and coveted.

Are the other 5 all high scorers?
As i told Kane, statistics are only useful in baseball, in baseball every player/batter/pitcher tries all the time(almost all), in the NBA they dont - that makes stats largely meaningless.
Only because scoring has gone up. At 40, Jordan scored a higher percentage of Wash points than LeBron Lakers at 40.

Jordan played on a bad team, and LeBron's numbers are the same across the board, not just scoring, his rebounding, assists, and shooting percentage are the same as his career numbers
Rebounds, assists and points all go up when the scoring goes from 95 to 114.
Jordan's last year the Wizards averaged 91.5 pts/game.
There's no twisting. It's simple math. He's behind, Jordan, Kareem, Wilt and some others. Brick's flopping, choke jobs, and fake injuries after a bad play are out of hand.
The stars took Jordan, the bums took Brick.
