1-12 from the arc.. Lazy defense being out hustled, and LaBron constantly is crying nothing changes with that guy.. He isn’t the GOAT.
Born in Omaha but I think he moved away at a young age.Thor played high school some where in Omaha and he’s been tearing it up, big shot over LaCry taking the lead with :20..
Didn't and won't watch a second, but Lebron scored a late layup to seal the win.About time they turn on the heat in the second half..
Entertaining game..
He scored the winning point, but he is well past being a good defender. South Sudan's guard who played at Radford and Virginia and had a great game scored a one-on-one lay-up on LeBron. A LAY-UP! Jrue Holiday and Derrick White are going to have to save his butt on D.1-12 from the arc.. Lazy defense being out hustled, and LaBron constantly is crying nothing changes with that guy..

I heard that just having LeBron on the team makes the Lakers a ton of money. Can't remember why. Probably merchandise sales and their local tv contract.He scored the winning point, but he is well past being a good defender. South Sudan's guard who played at Radford and Virginia and had a great game scored a one-on-one lay-up on LeBron. A LAY-UP! Jrue Holiday and Derrick White are going to have to save his butt on D.
How in the hell is he able to hold the Lakers hostage? Drafting Bronny is the least of their worries. How he handcuffs the team by controlling everything that takes place on the team is a much bigger factor. Why would anyone pay a 40-year-old 97 million over the next two years? It also has that has the protentional to increase to 115 million. It tells me Jeanie Buss is ok with just making a lot of money and really doesn't care if her Lakers are a title contender or not.
I watched the 4th quarter. Heard an announcer say that this might be Team USA's most talented roster and almost turned the channel.About time they turn on the heat in the second half..
Entertaining game..
I think a lot of money could be made betting against this "talented" USA group (can't call them a team, can we?) I bet they haven't covered a game yet and I doubt they will unless the books are forced to make some serious point spread adjustments.Didn't and won't watch a second, but Lebron scored a late layup to seal the win.
Not a problem even though the USA was about a 43-46 point FAVORITE.
That’s really laughable.. In today’s society we get told things that are facts but all their doing in my opinion is telling you the sky is GREEN when it’s actually always been BLUE..I watched the 4th quarter.

There's certainly an age bias going with with regard to how the NBA is viewed. The "NBA media" is bloggers, Youtubers, young reporters working on the cheap, and some older guys who don't want to seem out of touch. Today's players are more talented they say. Today's style of play is more entertaining they say. It's incorrect, but take that opinion onto an NBA Reddit and you'll be buried in criticism and ridicule.That’s really laughable..

Bird, Jordan and Magic would spank this week minded team..

I would agree that there is a lot more better outside shooters than during that era.. Skill set maybe quicker, but Pete Maravich in his prime still a better ball handler and passer as good as anyone playing today..I think the players are much more SKILLED than the Bird, Magic, and Jordan era was. I don't think they are mentally as tough and probably are physically as tough either. That said to ignore their skill level would be an error. These guys today can do things that was extremely rare if not impossible 35 years ago. It's just the truth.
Holla

They arent more skilled the rules have changed.
Thats all.

I will not argue that there's a greater number of highly skilled players. BUT the supposed better skills that they show are greatly enhanced when you don't have to worry about establishing a pivot foot. It's much easier when you can take a "Euro step" (formerly called traveling) and reposition your feet just right (shuffle your feet) before shooting a jump shot. And there are a lot of skills that kids are not able to do-- like drop step to either shoulder with their back to the basket, footwork off the ball/using screens, and so on. The NBA media doesn't mention this because few of those guys ever played and coached the game. All they do is look at shooting data and compare the two eras.I think the players are much more SKILLED than the Bird, Magic, and Jordan era was.
