    The best ability is playability. The more he plays as a star the more he shows he is the goat.

    There is no such thing as a MJ stan. Also if you dont have MJ over Lebron I dont respect your opinion on anything basketball related. The goat debate is a farce conjured up by Silver and James. its not real people can tell and thats why the NBA isnt as popular as it once was. its starting to become WWE fake.

    Excuses, Excuses & more Excuses. Sengun's been the focal point of the offense ALL season. He's never been a defensive player

    Stop it. Sengun has been put in plenty of positions to execute to his ability

    The guy misses so many easy buckets and sometimes throws up whatever. He has regressed a bit but I'm confident he can turn it around

    My brother. Everyone on this team is asked to play high level defense and it's effecting all their offensive games including Jalen.

    Alpi and Jalen could put up 25+ on a mid eastern conference team easily. Basically could have Cade numbers if they weren't playing on such a high level defensive team that asks so much from even the high usage offensive players.

    I don't see him averaging 40 minutes per game like Dream did or playing as many consecutive games as AC Green.

    Showtime Lakers and Shaq knew how to market themselves... and how to stay on David Stern's good side. If it wasn't for that, Dream would be recognized as superior to Shaq.

    And it’s why Cam is having a hard time getting playing time when we’re fully healthy, because he is more committed to taking shots on offense and not playing hard and hustling on defense.

    Im not making excuses Im saying what I see happening. Ime really doesnt have an offense geared toward Sengun. Do you even watch the Rockets play? He is a post player he mostly gets the ball at the top of the key to get guards open for 3's and cuts not so that he can score. the fact that he is doing as good as he is, is actually amazing.

    If I've learned anything it's that EVERY game is a challenge and different. 3 games ago, some had us losing all 3 of our last games and being on a 5 game losing streak. And, here's the thing...it easily could have happened. And, we could have and should have won 4 of the 5. It's a peak and valley thing...we win all is well, we lose all is lost.One game at a time.

    LeBron’s career has more claims than the no insurance car lady in a fender bender
