Just saw the score in the All Star game. What a pathetic joke.
Just let all the players go out and do dunks and shoot, but don't call it a game anymore.
Even the dunk contest was terrible.

NBA literally gifting the Heat a win tonight with their officiating today. It's like they try to reinforce certain tropes like that "Heat culture" nonsense whenever they can.
All it takes is Mookie Betts, Steph Curry, and Joe Burrow all sitting in the same car in order for one drunk driver to make the world a significantly better place.

LeBron is about to pass 40k points today.. Insane the level of longevity, and sustained greatness.
Dude is about to put that record so far out there it won't ever be touched. He already has a record that will never be broken, most consecutive 10+ points games.
To put it in perspective, if you removed Lebrons entire rookie season point total, Luka Doncic IS STILL behind him in terms of cumulative points at the same point in their careers

Also Luka is a pussy. I just saw earlier he apparently got a fan ejected from a game for calling him a fatty and telling him to get on a treadmill.

40k points with 10k assists is likely never going to be broken. That’s a record that’ll last forever

Will take a guard/forward from high school or a one-and-done who can average around 20 and 10 or close to it straight out the gate with longevity, can make threes and isn't injured. That's the hardest part rather than the scoring/assists itself. I think Wemby/Jokic/Doncic are on their way to make history in some way, a player will definitely come along IMO that puts up crazy stats for a long time.

That's just not happening unless they decide to put a 4pt line
Luka is already behind Lebrons trajectory.. if you remove Lebrons entire rookie season point total Luka is still behind him. Wemby isn't gonna play enough games and already on load management and would need to average 35+ for 17 years to get to 40k right now.
Which is even the crazier thing…. LeBron isn't gonna be done, he's probably gonna finish with 43-45k points

if somebody is to do it at the moment it would be Luka. Unlikely but who knows. But I think lately we've just seen an explosion of just straight up unique talent. Joker, Luka and Wemby come to mind. I think we will continue to see unique talents as basketball develops all over the world so seeing somebody of Lebron's mold who can top what he's doing isn't out of he question IMO.
Unless of course down the line they change the rules that limits offense. Or maybe they reduce the games or something per season.

They'd need to average more than 20 cause they aren't coming straight out of HS anymore. Even Brons 20 out of HS was insane cause previous to him in this era only KG averaged 10+ and I believe it was only 11 PPG.
Bron is essentially tied for 3rd all time in terms of scoring, a handful of players stuck at 27+, so someone would need to be essentially MJ but play for as long as LeBron and never get hurt.. plus theyd need to actually want to play that long, have the desire to.
LeBron has more points than Magic and Larry combined. Just don't see it happening in our lifetime

The hand checking and physicality of the game during the 80's and 90's made it FAR MORE physically taxing than the game today.
There is no defense played in today's game and triple doubles don't mean anything, scores average at 120, and there were several people with 70+ points scored this season.

More and more players that can spread the floor means covering a lot more of the court, a lot more cutting and sprinting. Those jarring motions over and over are what wear players down. Not getting knocked to the ground by a 240 pound center lol
It’s absolutely more taxing today than it was in the 80s/90s but then again we know a lot more about strength/conditioning/recovery now too and there are better PEDs for players to use

I hate playing against a chippy defender who won't leave my hip and non stop contact.
so many little men in here who never played high level basketball or football such as myself.
lol it's hard running around is your excuse? That's what soccer players do.

Why do you think Jordan and Lebron played less defense in their older years?
Soccer players are tiny they aren’t massive like football and basketball players
