SGA and Edwards are overrated af. Good wing scorers but people talk like they are the second coming of Jordan. Worry about being outperformed by Jalen Brunson and Fox first
LeBron is just as competitive, just a stupid argument. The reason Jordan is the GOAT is his privileged upbringing compared to LeBron. LeBron had no one to teach him how to shoot and other basics at a young age. If LeBron’s name was LeBron Curry born to Dell Curry he would have been the GOAT. Jordan is just way better technically than LeBron
Had LeBron been born in a good family like Steph he would have been the GOAT easily. That brother became a GOAT contender off pure talent with no one even teaching how to shoot a jumper. Can’t learn that later in your life. Ambidextrous, perfect body and incredible vision but struggles to shoot a FT because he didn’t have the privilege to learn fundamentals like Steph.
MJ had great family support as well. Wemby has the perfect body if you ignore injury risk and great fundamentals from a basketball family. LeBron James had the worst conditions with many flaws and is still close so I believe we haven’t seen the GOAT yet. I haven’t seen a flawless basketball player yet. A small guy like Steph coming near the top shows me there’s still a lot of inefficiency at the top. Jordan is the closest thing to a flawless player I know but he is still a little too small and inefficient from deep to be the permanent GOAT in basketball imo. In football I feel I have seen the perfect player with perfect physical, technical abilities, IQ, vision in Messi.
Jokic, best scorer in the league, best passer in the league, elevates teammates with his spacing away from the rim and wins in dominant fashion. Giannis never put a complete dominant run together. Was outplayed by KD when he won and only won because he injured Kyrie with a shameful play not allowing him to land.
Then pay money according to games played. Half the money guaranteed, half the money paid according to games played. Why should Kawhi get the full salary like Westbrook when Westbrook plays every game? Distribute part of Kawhi’s money to the guys who play. Westbrook gets less money for playing way more.
