Yeah we have and other than you looking rather silly by proclaiming Lebron to be "superhuman" what exactly have you accomplished? Just Asking A Question
Please list all of the rings that Lebron has "won" without a Hall of Famer on his team. I'll hang up and listen for my answer.

Thanks for your response. I will happily convert your post into an actual answer to the question:

Kyrie's rings with LeBron: 1
Kyrie's rings without LeBron: 0

Thanks for playing.

Ok I will happily answer my question since you can't.

Lebron 0 rings without Hall of Famers on his squad.

Kyrie 0 rings without Hall of Famers on his squad.

1 guy you think is "superhuman" while the other is considered by you to be a "liability". Me thinks that there is definitely a "logical inconsistency" at work here. No doubt about it.

I'm the biggest Lebron hater on this board. I watch Laker games all season just to watch him lose. But you have to admire how good he still is. Just lacks that killer instinct...way too much of a distributer still

How about a sig bet? I bet that the Lakers make the playoffs if Lebron and AD play 75 percent of the games from here on out...

Let's move on to the Utah Jazz. What's up with them? Markannen no longer soft? I'll have to check it out.

LeBron has 1 non-bullshit ring: 2012*, 2013, 2016*, 2020*

2012* -- lockout season, 66 game regular season.
2013 -- Ray Allen bails out Lebron with a miracle shot to avoid losing the series in 6.
2016* -- Draymond suspended with the Warriors up 3 games to 2, Kyrie hits the shot in game 7 to win it for Cleveland
2020* -- Pandemic cut the regular season short and playoffs took place in the bubble. Bubble title for Lakers.

They fucking up Ainge's tank for Victor Wembanyama

a full on tank will get you middle of the draft order.

I would ask Vegan to do the same but he already lost the last one that he tried to do with me. And never actually placed the sig up. Oh wait I have an idea on the best way to call the marker in since I never actually did. Did I Vegan?

Sure I will take that action provided you place them in the non play in games. They have to finish in the Top 6. Deal?

thank you.

No deal, as I said earlier in this thread I see them sneaking in. I'd guess 8 seed.

Damn I never realized just how much of a caveat all of his "rings" happened to carry. And its ironic though not surprising, that Vegan would continue to trash Kyrie given the fact that he bailed Lebron's ass out with one of the most significant shots in NBA history.

_________________

Fair enough. I like the thinking behind the play in format. I just don't like the fact that teams 9-10 can make the playoffs simply by winning a two game elimination series. If you are Lebron James and you have AD on your squad with both playing in 75% plus worth of games, then should easily be able to make the playoffs.

For a teacher you seem awfully bad at sticking to the topic. You can tell you've got nothing when you bring up random topics out of nowhere to deflect from the topic at hand. The topic is kyrie. We've established he's a liability and a bitch. I also notice you've conceded your Simmons argument. Good for you. He's also a bitch. It's possible he'll be out of the NBA within three years the way he's going.

If you want to discuss LeBron feel free to start a thread.

Vegan I know I joke around but your argument (particularly as it pertains to Kyrie) is rather stupid. The guy isn't a "bitch" on the court. He has never been a bitch on the court. He had to Dominate an "All Time Great" in Steph Curry in order for Cleveland to win a championship. He had to book a shot from 25 out in order for them to win a championship which he did. That ain't a "bitch" either.

And it's again "ironic" and rather "hypocritical" that you now whine about "sticking to the topic" when you shit up just about every basketball thread with nonsensical banter about the "manliness" of Ben Simmons and Kyrie Irving. Who besides you really gives a shit?

I don't care for Irving's politics but the guy is hardly a scary basketball player and to repeatedly imply that he is rather stupid at this point.

Kyrie will be a Laker and Durant a Sun.

Kyrie might have the lowest IQ on the planet. It's like the more he "reads" the dumber he gets. Maybe he's reading UMN posts.

When all a person has are things that are completely unrelated to the actual playing of the game, then you really know that they don't have much of an argument. Do they?

"Liability" on the court is now conflate with what someone thinks about an Antisemitic movie. That is dare I say, "Quite the stretch" now isn't it? Just Asking A Question

Ben Simmons as the Alpha, now we’re talking. I’m not sure LeBron wants Kyrie, that’s not good for the brand.

He will probably be out of the league in 2 years.

At some point the guy started thinking that he had a higher calling. Or at least he started openly expressing that he had one. Coincidentally it seemed to have occurred right around time he began playing in that city known for its "stellar" race relations.

I really don't think the guy cares if he is bounced from the NBA at this point. His stances would be more commendable if he sacrificed his career for them but why do that when teams will still pay him to dribble and shoot a basketball I guess?

He will never get a big money deal again so if making tons of money is his angle he might want to think again and just bounce.

Damn, that would be a good bet to make.

This team will be blown up though. Simmons is not Harden. Nash is gone. It's so fucked up. I hope, for my futures bet sake, Durant is traded to Phoenix, where he reportedly wanted to go (if he were traded this past offseason).

The Suns can trade Ayton in December.

They wouldn't trade Ayton. The Nets weren't interested in Ayton, that's been noted -- otherwise it would've happened. The Suns can trade Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder, Mikal Bridges, and a million 1st Round draft picks, etc. If they'd like to take on Durant, Woj and Shams have noted KD has Phoenix 1st on his list. The Suns seem like the only team that can make it happen.
