Season starts tonight with Knicks and Celtics followed by Lakers and TWolves.

Will history be made early in the 2nd game?

Look in the.mirror lately? Bro you are the one who constantly is calling LeBron the GOAT. Get out of here w that.

You are by far the worst one when it comes to posting about LeBron vs MJ. There's no MJ fan who constantly does what you are doing.

Case in point. We never see this one in this thread at all except to refer to LeBron/MJ and, in particular, after LeBron losses.

We really need to do a deep dive and bring up the multitude of unrelated threads where you brought up LeBron unprompted simply to glaze him?

Many people that use test find that it puts more stress on you when you do large amounts of cardiovascular activity...like basketball.

I just don't really see it as a benefit like it would be for football or maintaining swing speed in baseball.

Because they don’t know how to keep the water weight off. Test is amazing especially for a 40 year old.

Two things can be true at once. While acknowledging the greatness of LeBron, I also post with great regularity about non-LeBron teams/players in this thread because my interest in the NBA extends well beyond him.

Not just LeBron either. I did a search once and he's talked about MJ way more than I have. Guaranteed that would be the case for anybody.

Can we stop saying glaze, please? You sound like all the Mahomes haters when you use that word

I thought the Knicks would win this thing in 5. Cade has really grown as a player this year. Jaden Ivey would have given them some help.

Time for LeBron to go home to Cleveland.

Unless they just epically collapse in the next couple rounds, why in the hell would they blow up their roster to get a declining 40 year old?

Before you come after me. Yes, he's still very good. But he's not good enough for the sacrifices they'd have to make to get him.

Go check out how many guys in the league this year averaged 25-8-8 on LeBron's efficiency. If LeBron expressed an interest in going to Cleveland again as a free agent this summer, they'd absolutely make it happen and it's not even a question.

Exactly! The chemistry on that team is fantastic. If it ain't broken, don't mess with it.

And it would be dumb. They have a longer window to compete without him and have proven (so far) this year they don't need him. So unless they collapse, again I ask, why the **** would they?

For the feels? Maybe. To make them a better team, no.

Feels? This version of Cleveland has done shit all but win a bunch of regular season games.

If a GM didn't accept taking the GOAT and a current top 10 player in the league on their team as a free agent, they'd be fired on the spot.
