except this part

>.if u doubt what I'm saying..look at every game he was pissed off and was challenged

don't really jive with what happened the first year in miami after he spent the offseason taking mental notes.

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

It is important that he has another guy on the team who can take it over in iso type situations. World of difference between when he was playing with Wade and Irving than when he was playing with Boobie Gibson.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

every player in the league would better playing with Wade or Kyrie as opposed to Boobie Gibson.

Lebron's overall skill set is pretty much unfuckwitable, people wanna nitpick and say "he can't shoot like Steph!" "he can't handle like Kyrie!" How many people CAN? lol...Lebron is the most lethal player in the league, is he flawless? No, but who is? With Lebron I think a lot of his flaws early on were mental and he's learned to overcome most of those. Is he Jordan? No but who is? Does Jordan win 6 rings without FEEL? I doubt it.

Hibachi ain't fire up that grill passing the rock.

But yes I think LeBron is naturally more deferential than the other guys you mentioned and that's not a bad thing. He *can* absolutely take over a game scoring, but he operates better when he's more balanced in terms of pass/shot tendency.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

ever the close-out guy on the Heat's championship run? Bron ended up carrying Wade/team to a degree on both those back-to-back championship teams - by Gil's definition Magic wasn't really a "no.1 option" either

But overall I don't take issue w/what he said

Nope..

Series tied 2-2, abt 9min left in the 4qtr of game #5, score was 75-75..


Bron & Curry both tried to take over the game.

Curry went GOAT..

and specifically for wanting to join Wade and Bosh. He also clowned him for the receding hairline by saying he should shave his head bald.


There was an old LeBron commercial when he kind of barked back at Barkley.

Bron got two rings and is still a dominant player in the league, so there's no room for Barkley to clown LeBron unless he wants to look like a complete hater on the TNT set.

Look, there are more ways to be the number one option besides reckless gunning. History proves agent zero wrong. Last year was the closest we got to blatant gunning Lebron and that was out of necessity.

If Lebron is not a number one option then why did the Warriors adjust their defensive strategy? Let's not get it fucked up Bron is a number one option but he's such a willing passer that it flies in the face of reckless gunning wisdom.
