The end of last night's Lakers win reminded me of how ridiculously good Lebron is. Other guys, even stars; you hope the late 3 pointer might go in. With Lebron you know it's going in. Not once, not twice but three times. I find his personality somewhat obnoxious although that is somewhat a product of media fawning. I wouldn't call myself a fan of his at all. But I don't think there is a question anymore that he is the best player ever. The MVP will be his this year if the Lakers make the playoffs which they will. Kawhi is phenomenal.....could possibly be the second best player when you factor in his defensive ability and his positive effect on the rest of the team. But Lebron is probably the greatest team sport athlete of the last 100 years.

And they've also never played sports in their life if they think an NBA player can consciously go half speed and get away with it.
But to your point: Skip Bayless has a 7th degree black belt in the trolling arts.

The NBA more than any other major sports league focuses more attention on the potential future value of events. The NFL , NHL and MLB have the bulk of their storylines written or spoken of in terms of the here and now of the season and the playoffs. The NBA is contrarian. It’s storylines and narratives focus in on who is playing where next year..which 18 year old is the next star that will lift a team to greatness.
I think the league does this because of an inherent competitive imbalance where at any given time 30% or more of their teams are hopeless. If the rubes won’t by right now..sell them futures.Last edited by Demographic Shift; Sun Dec 16, 2018, 01:52 PM.There's no such thing as a 2nd round bust.

IMO it's one of the things that makes the nba great; hell, it's probably my favorite thing about it. But it also leads to that anticipation, what-if mindset amongst writers and pundits.
