MVP! MVP! MVP! (Deserved it's own thread)

I doubt durant leaves, but westbrook might

Agree with this, especially if he keeps being blamed for OKC's problems. But I definitely see Westbrook as a bright lights, big city guy. He could be Ballmer's first big FA splash, give him a chance to stick it to Clay Clay too.

And no, I haven't looked up the Clips salary cap situation and have no idea if they could afford RW whenever he becomes a FA. It was a throwaway comment, not actual analysis.

UCLA kid, I could definitely see the clippers, or the lakers even if they find another building block piece to go with him

If Lebron does that in 2010-2012 twitter would have fucking exploded.

Shit twitter was melting down still when Lebron passed to an open teammate who is an all-star going for the win.

People don't care about KD like they care about Bron. Bron's held to a higher standard, but he also has much more fanatical fans. KD's never been hailed as the greatest player of all time, so he gets away with a hell of a lot more.

I think in a way that could hurt Durant. Lebron was humbled in 2011 and the entire nation turned on him. He went back to the drawing board and spent the entire time in the summer working out with Olajuwon on post moves.

With no pressure on Durant will he finally look in the mirror and realize he needs to fix his game?

Just asking questions as I don't know the answer. I know also superstars receive way too much heat after tough playoff losses and 81% of the time they are the least of the problems.

I kind of feel like Lebron is this generation's MJ

Lebron is this generation's MJ like Britney Spears is this generation's John Lennon. That's the fucking difference in skill level.

MJ > Lebron but it's more like the diference between Jagger and Lennon. Lebron's an all time great. Britney's a chick who was hot for a short period of time and kissed Madonna.

Stop pressing.

Your comparison is pressing. Jagger could be on the same stage as Lennon. MJ would step on Lebron's fucking idiotic glasses, taunt him to do something about it, then proceed to mop the floor with the rest of his pre game hipster clown outfits while he's mentally dismantling him piece by piece. It's the difference in the toughness between the two. It's the difference in the toughness between the two generations.

I agree there's a big difference in tuffness. Your last poast you said there was a massive difference in skill level which is fucking stupid. If anything LBJ has more skills than MJ did. He can certainly do more defensively. Toughness is the real separator which is why MJ is #1 all time and LBJ probably ends up around #4 or #5, but it's not 2009 anymore, the Lebron is a pussy argument has pretty much been destroyed the last three years. He'll never have MJ's killer instinct but dude's performance in big games has been every bit as good as his talent lately.

Lebron's going to be a fucking legend, deal with it. Britney Spears my ass.

4 or 5, getting close to being a benchwarmer in that league. Good job proving the point.

Thank you. MJ spent more time worrying about what he was going to wear and what people were going to think about it than anyone in history. If he played in this era he damn sure would have been wearing hipster glasses and a backpack.

It means that, just like Jagger with Lennon, Bron belongs on the court with the GOAT.

Meh, both these guys are a product of their cultural era. It's pretty silly to conflate toughness with sartorial affectation, as it's a very different world from the 1980's.

Clearly.

But again, the analogy is awful. 50 Cent is much closer to the Ice Cube of his era than Macklemore is. And yes, Cube > Fiddy. Macklemore's not even the DJ Yella of his era.
