Can't believe the NBA Season is starting tonight. Way to early but here we go.

Lakers vs Nuggets: 6:30PM

Suns vs Warriors: 9PM

Both on TNT

My favorite is going to the comments to see Barry get destroyed

It's just like Twitter

[KC_Connection]

He used to have a video about MJ facing plumbers and ice cream truck drivers, but it appears to be gone. What a loss to the world.

Cool do LeBron titles with Wade don't count since KD doesn't

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Also at least Curry stayed loyal and didn't run off crying to start a "super team ". Not 1 not 2 not 3 not 4...

Even worse, Lebron singlehandedly lost a tittle with Wade playing at an MVP level

That should count as -1 titles.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

I'm also not counting Kyrie and AD. So LeBron has 0 titles by your "logic"

Thanks Barry!

Don't you get it? Lebron is the only player allowed to build super teams and play with multiple superstars.

The loss to the Mavericks is as bad as anything Curry has on his resume. But the 3-1 comeback against that team, weird suspension stuff or no, is pretty damn legit. One of the more impressive lines on a resume we've seen in a bit.

Kobe winning back to back titles with 2 completely different incarnations of the Lakers is up there but being exactly like Jordan but lesser can't really get you into this conversation. And just as James had his weird flake-out series (against the Magic, I believe? Maybe Boston), Kobe has that bizarre Phoenix game and then the blown finals against Boston. Something of a tangent, but there aren't many guys who have won B2B with 2 completely different clubs like Kobe has.

If he had helped develop (that bust)Wiggins (double ouch for KenPom Connection)instead of running him off for Love, he could have had a Pippen!

Absolutely, but of course, stans like KCC like to play revisionist history and pretend that Kyrie wasn't also fantastic in that series. You would think Lebron did it all by himself, even though he was amazing and even better.

No, he just cried to KD to save him and his fraud franchise from repeated NBA Finals beatings.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

....with a mostly homegrown team unlike Lebron...

[KC_Connection]

The 2019 Raptors were kicking the shit out of that Warriors team all Finals without KD. Same thing would have happened in 2017 and 2018 by LeBron's hands had Steph and Draymond not had to cry to KD from the parking lot after the 2016 Finals loss.

Fraud dynasty.
