    No LeBron, KD or Steph in the second round of the playoffs since 2005 (20 years).





    What happens now?

    Honestly, it's time, was really tired of watching them. I was rooting for their opponents. Tell them old hoes to leave the young guys alone. Looking forward to a fresh playoffs where the BSPN and other media give the new generation their due respect and coverage.

    these guys held it down for the NBA for a long ass time…vast majority of the next wave of stars don’t come close to having their level of presence…Ant is one of the few who does

    About time. NBA hasn’t been interesting in years because of constant misappropriation of marketing resources by LBJ&GSW co.

    It comes off as “presence” to the easily manipulated, but it’s really just plowing millions of dollars into the wrong people, culminating with the Lakers vs Nuggets free throw disparity we saw last week.

    Will have caught playoff games in 3 cities this year after not going to a single one the last 3 years. Super exciting time to be a fan.

    Does Lebron bring in Trae?



    Or does he join Curry in GS?

    Bronny is not an NBA level player…his teammates won’t respect him knowing he’s only there because of his dad

    if it was Bronny Jones instead of Bronny James, he would’ve never been talked about…we would have never even known who he is

    he’s just not good…I’ve never seen a clip or game of his where he just went off…he was a background player from day 1 in high school getting the buzz of a top prospect…19 minute video of his team playing, and he’d have 9 points the entire clip, yet his name is featured in the title like he was out there killing everyone

    Lebron could truly develop him into something special. Idk, I have an eerie feeling.

    I’d rather Lebron join Curry in GS, tho.

    The only negative to this happening is that most of their replacements are foreign born. The only superstar-ish Americans are Anthony Edwards and Jayson Tatum.

    Man, I wish my brother or dad were NBA superstars. I would totally take advantage of them and demand minimum contracts everywhere they go, stinking it up and collecting paychecks.

    Either Kyrie or (Harden, PG, Kwahi) is about to join the others in Cancun, that’s crazy, this early in the playoffs.
    Future is now
