    All in all I think Ime has made some adjustment in our offense specifically with Fred Van Vleet.

    FVV role has changed his focus is now on defense and connective passing than scoring. I like it a lot if you noticed nobody except Sengun is now holding the ball for long periods of time.

    Ok so that takes MJ out cuz he is one of the worst GMs of all time right? LeGM made the Kevin Love and the AD trade that resulted in rings for Cavaliers and Lakers. LeGm ****ed up on Westbrook but MJ GM kept drafting busts his entire tenure. I think MJ GM jas one of the most drafted busts out of any GM ever.

    In terms of sons Bronny James has achieved more than all of MJ's kids combined.

    In terms of character Lebron has served as the NBA poster boy his entire career, MJ is a known bully as shown in Last Dance and is a gambling addict.

    Hey it’s my bad, I was just messing around with you but looking back at the post I did come across as being a dick…you are definitely free to talk about whatever you want! I’m sure as hell not the forum police.

    And I definitely do not get laid as much as I would like

    As a player... do you even know what the ABA is...?

    If you want to go the GM route, Lebron GMed his way to a Westbrook and Dwight team...

    This quote is just crazy. Nothing he does right now should impact his legacy in a negative way. His literally the only 40 year old ever to do be doing what he's doing and you think it's a knock on his career? This just shows how much bias there is in any GOAT debate.

    You said everything to be the greatest? Why are you limiting to arbitrary definitions? Yeah Lebron GMed his way to a WB and Dwight team which still achieved more than MJ his entire GM career. Kwame Brown? MKG? Adam Morrison? lol

    ABA in the 80s has nothing on today's NBA. Werent people in the ABA part time plumbers or some BS? Basketball didnt pay enough to be a full time job back in the day.

    Wilt is the GOAT. Then Russell, then Jordan, Kareem, Lebron, Bird, Magic, Dream.

    The Rockets aren't good enough to beat any elite teams in a playoff series - it's not just one matchup, they simply don't have enough star power or offense.

    That's just clear after their recent losses and frankly tonight showed the same thing, the Lakers had the 2 best players in the game and nearly erased a 22 point deficit with them

    Is Amen the best overall athlete in the NBA? Like in terms of total consolidated traits like strength/speed/bounce/agility? I think there is a serious argument that he may be

    Fun fact of the day.

    The Rockets have the second youngest team in the NBA adjusted for usage rate.

    Number one is Wizards. Wizards are what a team that is using this many young players with high usage is usually supposed to look like.

    By that metric, the two youngest teams are about to meet up next game! I think the Rockets have a slight edge :cool:

    I never said anything about who I thought was the GOAT. All I'm saying is anyone who thinks these years are hurting Lebrons legacy are just purely biased. Cuz no one has ever done what he is doing at this age. If you really ask me I think Jokic should be in the GOAT debate. He just needs to demand a trade and actually play with an all star for once in his career and he'd win enough rings to be considered cuz statically he is the goat.

    You know MJ stans are desperate when they say playing a longer career makes your achievements worse.

    We are about to watch the future on Tuesday. Future contenders vs future mid eastern conference team.
