Can't believe the regular season starts tonight. Just seemed like the Finals ended a couple weeks ago.

Philly vs Celtics: 6:30PM CST TNT

GSW vs Lakers: 9:00PM CST TNT

Lol, if he's healthy enough to stat whore, he's healthy enough to play, period. Still amazed he actually admitted to how bitchmade he is, though.

Correct. There's little point in him jeopardizing his remaining career with a debilitating injury for a team going nowhere. He would have shut down his season like Lillard did if that was the case. But the Lakers are very much a contender now with LeBron on the floor thanks to the moves that he helped pull off.

So your argument is that he should have played through an injured foot requiring surgery at age 39 on a team going nowhere? What exactly would have been the point of that?

He probably should've been a bit more discreet about the timing to not appear COMPLETELY bitchmade, yes. Quite transparent to stat whore to the scoring record then shut it down. Just another reason quite a few won't ever respect him as the GOAT. He's just proven to be bitchmade too many times

A guy isn't travelling all the way to Germany to seek out a second opinion on his injured foot if he wants to shut his season down. He clearly wanted to try to do whatever he could to help this team if they had a chance and he did and is doing that.

And he's the GOAT whether you like him or not. The guy is shattering every individual record in basketball history. It's not even going to be close in the end.

Dallas was down 6 with 39 seconds left and didn't foul. Just let Miami run off 24.

Mavs are borderline tanking at this point.

Lebron's #1 fan thinks he is the GOAT. Gee I am shocked.

Whatever you say. I know you are obsessed with LeBron but end of the day this an NBA thread, not a LeBron thread.

Last time I checked the Lakers ain't doing shit this year. So stop trying to make LeBron the main topic in this thread. His dynasty is over. He's just a old stat padder who gets hurt all the time

Such a weird obsession to have. He reminds me of Sandy Cheeks and his battle to force everyone love Alex Smith.

Can we just start a LeBron thread? Im tired of hearing about it. He has no chance to win a title this year...or likely ever again.

I imagine this is how other NFL fans are starting to feel about Mahomes every year.
