The Lakers have 3 max players, 5 HOFs... and have a worse record than the Knicks.
Thibs has zero starting level PGs, not much of a C rotation for most of the season, and has his team playing better than the Lakers. Take that for data
Lakers made the moves many fans and media wanted and pressured the Knicks to make.
I believe the Lakers would be in a much better position today if they handed the keys to Westbrook from day 1. Let him eat and have Bron and AD play off of him.
Westbrook has all the keys now and lays a -25 against the Mavs. Thank god he scored 25 points though.
Bronnie probably skipping the rest of the season now that he's out of the playoffs. Another fabulous GOAT move. LMAO
I think Bill Russell once said nothing short of a broken leg or broken back is a good enough excuse.
I would think he comes back to add points to the Kareem chase.
Bron is a lot of things but given his age and miles he is not a cupcake.
he is breaking down but when he plays he is doing it a high level. Its a team game, its not just him.I love Bill Russell and those 11 chips out of 13 makes him the winning GOAT but he’ll tell you its 5 guys on the court. He’ll also tell you why the team game got them chips vs. Wilt.
Did we forget Lakers won a chip with Lebron?
Dude, you don’t have to like him but disrespect the career is a bit jaded. Given your MeloCentric nature and sensitivity I’d think you be past that.
And any look at the Celtics will tell you Russell made the other 4 guys better than they were. And certainly not by taking off games with a sprained ankle when you're on the cusp of missing the playoffs. Bill also owned up to the fact, several times as player/coach, "that the best player I got is me."
If LeQ is playing at that high a level, than why sit out? What does that say about your precious team concept?
I don't disrespect his career. I disrespect anyone spelling out LeQ as the GOAT with all the baggage that goes along with his resume. Russell played while breaking down. Jordan played through all sorts of shit, alot of it of his own doing. They would kill to win. They would kill your favorite pets to get into the playoffs. Okay, not really, but you get the point, hopefully.
Not quite sure what my stated Melove has to do with this conversation, but okay.

You find your reasons to hate on him. No, Lebron is not cut from the same cloth as Bill Russell nor had to face a fraction of what he had to.
You doing the Jordan thing? Jordan took nearly two years off. Lets not forget.
That team was great. In an era of post expansion diluted talent.
Lebron in his 19th year leading the league in scoriing. 38 years old. He has played hurt.
You may not like him, but thats not a reason to disrespect.
Jordan was a massive asshole. I respect what he has done.
Bill Russell was incredible. IN fact makes Jordan look bad. 11 rings, No time off to play baseball and make a movie, Faced racism. Made others better, not bully them.
My rushmore has Him, Jordan, Lebron, Wilt and Kareem.
Personally I don’t love Lebron, but I won’t discount that he puts in the work and has carried teams further than most single players can. Different era’s, different men, different takes and different effects on the game.
Russell had Wilt and some very good teams to slap down.
Kareem came after and was unstoppable! His work on some bad teams should be noted. Epic battles with older Wilt and lakers, unseld, reed, ets. In the era of the big man he was incredible.
Jordan two three peats are incredible! He had Phil. He had Pippen. He has the legend. Bulls were head above the rest. They never had a formitable rival. Detroit aged out. The knicks came close. Sonics and Jazz were good but not close. Ali had Frazier. Celtics had Lakers. Many greats had rivals to match. Jordan and BUlls were great. To what extent?
Lebron had some incredible seaosns. Was miami really that good? Were they deep? No. Did they win 4 titles? No. Bosh was over rated and ray ray was at the end of his run. The hype was there but over rated. Lebron carried them.
Lebron took down 73 win Warriors. That should not be forgotten!

Like I originally stated, I'm not pissing on his entire career! Playing the game for 2 decades as a linebacker man among little boys has been frightening to watch sometimes. I can appreciate his achievements, the same as I do Jordan, the same as I do Iverson. To me, however, Bronnie's negatives are glaring. Which is the whole point of my original post. I also personally consider him a massive asshole. His hypocrisy is probably overexposed in an era of tweets and insipid stupid quotes that not even Jordan had the mechanisms available at his time to deal with. I'm sure Russell had his warts as well, they just weren't emblazoned live in living color on every phone and screen for all to see and denigrate.
I find reasons to hate on him? As you said, you may not love him, but you sure do find reasons to love on him.
If you love someone, criticism on that someone can be hard to bear.
Then again, if he donned the blue and orange, my whole outlook would probably change.
