He’s definitely top 5, I’m not taking anyone in the NBA besides Jokic and Giannis in a playoff series and I’m being so dead serious.
LeBron belongs in Tier 3, he’s still clearly at that level, when healthy. The fact that he just hasn’t gotten the benefit of the doubt since the Solomon Hill injury is beyond me.
Probably because he was definitely going to get one in 2021. His first 13 games he was 27/5/4 on 47/44/84 splits (11 3PA and 5 3PM PER GAME!), but got injured, missed 23 games and couldn’t regain that form.
It’s LeBron. You fans have been mindwarped by LeBron’s latter years. He literally knows full playbooks of teams. Jokic couldn’t give two fucks.
It isn’t the ability, It’ll be the gas tank and being injury prone.
Lmfao it’s so funny hearing every non-lakers home broadcast being like “welp it’s LeBron James he will get those calls!” Whenever he gets fouled even slightly while he is bulldozing to the rim without flopping and Embiid can just flail and get 12 FTA a game.
It’s why he is the Harden of Centers, that playstyle isn’t winning you shit.
