    I try not to watch Lebron in any format, so I’m basing most of my 2024 opinion on Ime Udoka calling him a bitch boy then Lebron crying about it.LeBron James Told to 'Stop B----ing' by Ime Udoka in Leaked Audio ...

    A couple posters said he was All NBA talent, does that mean top 5? It looks like he was #13 in ppg, #20 in fg%, #29 in 3pt%, #32 in rpg, #6 in apg, #20 in steals, and #97 in blocks. Looks like only top 5 category is #3 in most turnovers per game. In the insane NBA where every marginal star gets a max contract, he probably deserves one as much others, but he’s not as important to the NBA or society as a whole as he thinks he is. If he wanted to thank the Lakers (and their fans) for drafting his shit son and putting on all these staged press conferences pretending Bronny has earned it on his own, or if he actually cared about winning, he might have taken a contract less than $54m/year. D2O said he earned it for all the money the Lakers have made the past few years…ok but the Lakers still have a salary cap and it’s a team sport where you need more than Brow and old man Bron and 4ppg in college Bronny. 

    Yeah you're judging him against himself.   Against the rest of the current league he is minimum top 10.  Played in 71 gms and avg'd 26/7/8 last yr on a near career high 54% and an actual career high 41% from 3.   What other player putting up those type of numbers is being questioned whether they should get/take a max contract?

    Lebron has more money than any basketball player not named MJ, is old AF and on his last leg, and conned one of the most historic franchises into drafting his shit son and giving him a 4 year contract. He could afford to take a contract that reflects his current talent and have the team sign one or two other great players and try to make another run or two with his son on the squad. Nah bruh give me those max dollars dawg after I extorted you to draft my shit son and leaked that I’d take less money. As the thread title says, Fuck you pay me! - Lebron

    His current talent is all-NBA level.   That is a max contract player all day, everyday.   If you want to say he can afford to take less, ok.  The Lakers can also afford to pay him.  They've made plenty of money because he is there and their franchise value has grown significantly since he got there.   

  3. This Aces/Fever game is good so far.   Both teams really getting up and down the court.

    Something you see on teams with an elite passer, CC's passing is starting to rub off on her teammates.   They are trying passes that  I dont think they would normally try.  7 assists on 9 Fever buckets in the first quarter.

    Thanks for posting the line-up.

    Yeah, the 3 from the Fever really stood out. I took that to be fan voting for Caitlin's team. DiJonai's play was certainly deserving.

    Reese and Clark, get the popcorn ready.

    Yeah I wasnt sure if it was all fan voting but if so, that would explain it.    I thought they did a combo of fans/coaches like the NBA does

     

    EDIT:  50% of WNBA All-Star votes are made up by fan votes, while players and media members make up 25% each.

    That's telling me Fever/CC fans were stuffing the shit out of ballots to get both Mitchell and Boston and overcome coach/player voting.

  5. Both Angel and Caitlin make the All-star game.   They will play against the Olympic team.    I'm really surprised the Fever get 3.   And the 3rd Sun being Jones is a little bit of a surprise.   I thought Carrington might have a chance to sneak in there.

    conflicting stories out there that she may be as much as 8 years older than him, and perhaps they're cousins at some level.

    Buttcrack isnt a reliable source but there were multiple other outlets reporting it and his family (or at least someone who was supposed to be family) was tweeting about it.

    Treating everybody equally is more than enough.  If that’s an issue for Dijon or Angela they’re just looking for attention or a fight

     

    Caitlin’s biggest detractors are women.  Ironic.  Have I already said that?

    You all just see what you wanna see anyway.   What's the point?

    How much more explicit does she need to be?  Does she need to join the Black Panthers?  It's not like the players have welcomed her with open arms:

    "People should not be using my name to push those agendas. It's disappointing. It's not acceptable," Clark said Thursday when asked about the comments. "... Treating every single woman in this league with the same amount of respect, I think, it's just a basic human thing that everybody should do."

     

    I didnt say she needed to do more.  I've said multiple times her 2nd statement was more than adequate.   But again (third time I'm saying this) it was her 2nd statement AFTER Carrington and others pointed out the problem with her first.

    A few weeks ago she said don’t use her name to be divisive.   What’s wrong with that?

    Again, nothing.   But it came AFTER Carrington pointed out how her first statement wasnt denouncing it.   Some called Carrington's tweet an "attack" (it wasnt) but it got the point to either CC or the people who help guide her in media relations because her next statement was that she didnt want her name used to justify hate.

    maybe the subject is exhausting her?

    It was her first public comments on the subject.  I get her original point.   She didnt want to be involved.   She just wants to play ball.  That's really not reality.  When your name and face are used to justify a whole lot hate you cant really sit it out.

  11.  

    She's borderline for me.   Her team being #1 in conference might be enough to get her over the top.   She should probably be a finalist for MIP but Dearica Hamby pretty much has that sewn up barring injury over the 2nd half of the season.    Carrington should definitely get some all-defense consideration though

    She did say don’t use me for that shit though 

    After the response from Carrington.   Her first statement was a lot more neutral.   It sucks that someone has to come out and specifically state that they do not condone negative shit but thats not just her.   Everyone faces that nowadays in the world.
