It's pretty funny how most Lakers/Lebron fans are cheering for the Rockets to beat the Warriors so Lebron's 1st round exit failure will be overshadowed by Curry choking another 3-1 lead. I never realized the Lebron vs Curry fandom rivalry was such a thing.
Oh yes, it is definitely a thing. Remember: The Warriors and Cavs played in four consecutive NBA Finals, with Curry beating LeBron 3 times. This is enough by itself. But also, Curry has won 5 total championships to LeBron's 4, so the comparison envy is huge. There is no player in the NBA LeBron fanatics hate more than Curry and it's not even close. (To be clear though, I'm not even sure a large number of Curry fans hate LeBron). Blowing a 3-1 series lead to the Rockets just like the Warriors did to the Cavs a few years ago would definitely make a lot of LeBron fanatics celebrate.
It would have been comical if in the wake of Curry and Brawn playing together at the Olympics almost joining hands in San Francisco.
You mean KD beating Lebron? Curry never beat Lebron because Curry is not on the level of Lebron, KD or Kawhi. Curry needs a team around him every time GSW beat the Cavs they were si much more stacked than everybody else. IIRC Kd and Iggy were the Finals MVP but "Curry beat Lebron 3 times" lmao yeah right.
Jordan played in a much more physical era. Plus not only was he dominant on offense but he was a lockdown defender. He didn't take days off . He was also harder on his body with the drinking, smoking gambling trips ect...Plus he wasn't juiced to the gills like Leroid
Dude literally retired 3 times he took years off. The reason why you think Jordan is so good is because he only played in his prime and social media/internet wasnt a thing so Jordan and Nike could craft his image with none of you guys the wiser. Jordan entered the league at age 23 he was already a lot more polished than 18 yr old Lebron. He also took multiple breaks and only played a short time so you never saw much of washed Jordan other than on the Wizards which your brain must have blocked. Was Jordan locking people up on the wizards? Or was he bad at D just like old Lebron? How you know Jordan didnt juice and Lebron juiced? People in the 80s juiced more since it was more physical based the stronger you are like Malone the better you do. Nowadays it is about skill roids dont help your jumpshot. In fact Lebron made waves when he suddenly looked a lot thinner. If anything he was off roids and thats part of the reason which he played a long time. Jordan oth only played 15 yrs had short career and was washed much earlier than Lebron he is the one that looks juiced to me roids in the 80s had severe long term side effects. Jordan only played a short time, took multiple breaks and looks so washed at age 39 compared to Lebron. If anything he is the one who was juiced up burned all his potential for short term success thats why he sucked so badly even if he was younger than current Lebron. https://www.si.com/nba/lakers/news/lakers-lebron-james-has-changed-his-body-this-offseason
Other than LeBron vs Curry, there's a general in-state rivalry among the California teams, kind of like the Rockets-Spurs-Mavs.
To be fair his dad died which had a tremendous effect on him. I hate conspiracy theories but I also think it's plausible that Stern asked him to step away so he didn't have to suspend him for gambling. That would have been a disaster for the league. That's not why I think Jordan is so good. My dad is also aigigantic Pistons fan so I saw a lot of Jordan. It's not just me. Most everyone recognizes him as the GOAT. Ask Most players and they'll tell you. Lebron's fans just like him because he's fpved down the throat by the likes of ESPN and social media. They have to go to YouTube to see highlights. It's pretty obvious honestly. The way Jordan lives his life wasn't confusing to steroids. As someone who did them when I was younger I have pretty good knoll and awareness. Lebron is an obvious steroid cheat. I think it's S obvious as ,Bonds. I have to respectful disagree. Lebron longevity is based on steroid use. I'm not saying he not a great player (I have him 2nd) but he's not Jordan. Plus today's game is soft. A bunch of players flopping around and jacking up 3s. A hard foul is a flagrant. A guy like Oakley would have missed the floor with Draymond. Any time Lebron even gets breathed on he acts like he got shot
no he needs to go to cleveland were he retire where he started his career.. i couldnt see lebron on a team like the clippers anyways
his 1st retirement speaks for itself and he didn’t go home and sit down, he played another sport he was almost forced to the 2nd time due to the teams GM breaking up the team. They all said they wanted to keep going if they were able to stay together wiz Jordan deserves no mention, that’s a completely different story on its own anyway LeBron has had a tumor removed, he disappears to the same city at random times of the season, his teammate had swollen body parts and we later found out he ended up with kidney cancer there is also the testimony of others about him and the people who deal these things there is no reason to defend lebrons honor when he’s been everything but that Just because someone else was great like a Jordan Kobe a Wayne Gretzky Andre Agassi or Mike Tyson, or a Steph curry doesn’t mean they took the means he did y’all should be tired of the “what about hims” one thing is clear, lebron is Not Michael Jordan
