Your statement says “Livingston was a mid-range goat” based upon your reply. 😂😂😂 he was a bench player at best. Or 6th man if ya will. Hardin proves your statement ludicrous. Jock suck all you want but Livingston survived until he found a habitat where his skill set fit in. Hundreds of players filled that role countlessly. By no means does that make Livingston any type of goat, my guy. 😂😂

The Lakers getting swept by the Spurs in 2013 is more because Kobe didn't play that series than the chemistry issues. It was after he tore his Achilles in a game vs Golden State late in the regular season.

lol it’s incredible how people still say Igudala “locked” Lebron James in ANY finals 💀 Lebron James’ teams were outmatched literally every year. 1.Kyrie and Love out 2. Kevin Durant added 3. Kevin Durant AND Kyrie hurt. And during that time he was still putting up 30ppg-8-8 with over 50% shooting when exactly did Igudala lock up Lebron James?

@gmoney338 5 ай бұрын

Actually watch the 2015 finals from start to finish Iggy held Lebron to 38% shooting when guarding him & ultimately it was enough to slow him down & helped the warriors win if it were anyone else guarding him Lebron would’ve avg 50 on 60% fg

@damarkomoore5236 5 ай бұрын

Bruh lebron averaged 35 on 47ts% if I showed you a player scoring 35 ppg on 47% ts you’d say he was an inefficient scorer , period. Don’t believe me? Ask yourself this would you even have this convo if westbrook put up those same shooting splits??? You wouldn’t because Westbrook has put those same numbers and everyone would agree he’s inefficient point blank that series he was not efficient at all.

@@gmoney338he just finna make excuses yes lebron was out matched no one will argue that but that series he wasn’t efficient at all. If AI or Westbrook put up that same statline this wouldn’t even be a convo lol 38% from the field is terrible on top of 47% ts with tons of turnovers.

Top to bottom, I think 2004 is a better draft class on average. They produced more quality players than 2003. It's just that the ceiling of the 2003 class is so high that we consider it so much better especially with Lebron still playing at a high level.

@SweatbandSports 5 ай бұрын

It’s pretty hard to argue with all his achievements not only on offense, but also defense. I get what you are saying about him potentially being an all-time great if he put more effort in, but I still think he gets in regardless. That’s just my opinion, only time will tell.
