Get this garbage out of the NBA. This is an offensive foul on Steph Curry. This is an offensive player initiating contact - we see this play happen at least once per game across the league, it encourages it to happen more. Cut this out of basketball.

Bro let’s be clear… he legit showed himself with a gun in a club on HIS OWN MEDIA. This is not some slandering campaign by the media, it was his actions he has to own and be better about. We all want the sign shoes version (role model) - nobody disagrees with that
@TheNBACentral
Fans think they can just say whatever they want to these players… LeBron NEVER does this. You know this has to be way over the line for him to spend any mental energy on this
@SI_02_
This is ridiculously stupid to compare… 1 guy gets double teamed immediately vs the other gets to walk into a mid range bucket in a 1:1 iso. Not at all comparable based on the defensive scheme
@HarrisonWind
You realize this was the lowest watched finals since 2007… and you’re just giving all the “playoffs” credit to Denver… go check your numbers on Lakers ratings. They carried the playoffs. NYK and Boston runs also helped…
@Punk_Basketball
I mean he’s evolved his game for the sake of longevity - so as he hones his 3pt shot making abilities, he’d be a fool not to take what some of the best are doing
@EnesKanter
@KingJames
@Nike
Do you talk this way to Kevin Durant? Kyrie? Michael Jordan? No. But because it’s LeBron, you’re choosing to go here. You appear obsessed with 1 “enemy” when you sit & watch how many others who are sponsored by Nike in your own locker room and around the league support Nike? Smh
But this... passing out of a quadruple team to one of your best 3PT shooters who has nobody within 15ft of him got slander... for making the right pass😅🤣
@KaitMarieox
He’s only allowed to fund 25% of the school otherwise it would be a private school and not as many kids would have access to it. What other athlete is even paying for 10% of a school? Get the fuck out of here trying to discredit a guy doing something tremendous for his community
@ZD_34
@casualtakeking
For that exact game? Yeah… and then he strutted around saying he was back when he got cooking in the Rockets aeries - you can’t have it both ways
In 27 minutes, LeBron drops a casual 30-10-12 on only 3 turnovers. 13/23 from the field (56.5%) yet people try to slip that he’s still not the King. Lol. I dare the NBA to give this man a healthy team with at least one other star & watch what happens.
@PeakLuka
Stop with the no reason crap on Giannis... Giannis wanted the smoke
Kawhi had the whole “this is his city” commercial on tv after he chose the Clippers... (yet lives in San Diego)
MJ’s “last dance” was conveniently started once LeBron won in ‘16
These guys have egos too.
@ClipperTalk
Ya’ll don’t even have a conference finals appearance let alone a championship- it’s ok to not relate, but don’t dismiss it because you can’t comprehend it
Paolo Banchero has to be the most underrated first overall pick in at least my memory…
Nobody had the Orlando Magic in a 4/5 matchup this year.
Nobody.
@NDLShushShush
@Bradyhas7ringz
Right, and it’s garbage. The best shooters in the game do it because they know the whistle is going to side with them more time than not. When you shoot 94% at the FT line it’s even that much more obvious to try to do this
@JakeAndHoops
Nobody is beating that 19-20 lakers team here… that team was undefeated with a lead heading into the 4th quarter and never lost back to back games all year… it was different level stuff.
@ProCityHoops
Let’s take 2018 vs 2020 or even 2021 as an example…
Steph lost Klay… couldn’t make the playoffs
LeBron lost Kyrie and ended up in the Finals
There’s levels to this. They are not “right there”
Michael Bennett should be suspended. Tried to deliberately roll up the center from behind on a kneel down play. Caused the entire fight. Malicious intent to hurt someone. If you suspended Juju you suspend Michael Bennett

@katszn_
Not gonna lie, I live in Chicago and this was not publicized nearly enough. Had no idea this was today- like make it a weekend where kids can go and see this… organizers really dropped the ball
After I had watched this game (and the whole college season really) I couldn’t understand how the Lakers had Lonzo Ball ahead of Jayson Tatum, and in this case- De’Arron Fox… you don’t get head to head samples much, but this felt so clear…
2018: LeBron James carried the Cavs past a Celtics team featuring a young Brown & Tatum paired with Smart, Morris, Rozier, and Horford to the NBA Finals
Meanwhile, KD/Kyrie just got swept in the 1st round by a team featuring a lot of similar pieces
It ain’t hard to understand
@Bballforeverfb
McGee & Dwight averaged 20 mins a game... they were replaced by 6th man of the year Montrezl Harrell & Marc Gasol... (upgrades)
Danny Green & Rondo turned into Wes Mathews & 6th MOTY runner-up Dennis Schroeder (upgrades)
AB didn’t play in the bubble
Cook didn’t play ever
Stop
@UtdRoo
I state in the article under my tweet that this is the same issue that was talked about the last few years with Harden in Houston. This is a league-wide thing that continues to not be discouraged by how it’s officiated. Has nothing to do with Steph vs whoever
@LegionHoops
KG was promised a front office role after he got traded back to Minnesota as he waived his no trade clause and when Flip Saunders died, so did the agreement. Sad.
Darvin Ham needs to dust off the 2020 tape and realize 2 bigs worked against Denver. You don’t have a muscle big like Dwight Howard, but you have to try Wenyen Gabriel or Tristan Thompson if you’re going to get abused like this
@DrGuru_
If you were old enough to remember 2007’s finals you’d know it’s 2/4.... with Boston being in his same conference... the point is still pretty accurate

Kobe played 20 years. As did Dirk, Vince Carter to name a few.…
Your take is lazy & based purely in hating LeBron, probably citing 2011 as the basis of your argument if I had to guess.

@DwyaneWade
Gotta love it. A lot of athletes don’t realize it’s more than just the little kids who you can mean the world to. Props to a legend for showing love to a lifelong fan
@CaldyGaming
Just twist the context to make the guy look bad...
LeBron started with:
1) WE (referring to his teammates)
2) the GM
3) the coach
4) the organization.
5) himself.
Stick to the facts.
The part of the game where LeBron slammed the door
LeBron exits at 3:51 in the 3rd up 12 after Wiggins dunk & sloppy LA play-LeBron came back in at 2:40 up 8
LeBron immediately with a bucket & block- sparked a run (he scored 6 here)
LA ends 3Q up 18👑
@FeelLikeDrew
He called a producer to make the MJ documentary the day LeBron won the chip in Cleveland lmao stop acting like this dude was so righteous
@OnBallSteph
“With less help”
Ok “OnBallSteph” … what laughable reality did you live in where KD joined the 73 win Warriors for the easiest 2 rings in league history?
If Steph had no help then would love to hear how he only has 1 FMVP out of 4 rings ☠️✌️
@BleacherReport
He’s still trying to sell the world that he didn’t sell out for the most overstacked team in NBA history…
KD ruined what would’ve been an epic rivalry of Cavs-Warriors. Instead we got:
A crippled Cavs team in ‘15
A epic series in ‘16
Overpowered Warriors in ‘17 & ‘18
😔
HATER COMMUNITY GRAB A CHAIR
THE KING AINT GIVING AWAY HIS CROWN TO NO KLAW NOR GREEK FREAK

YOU CAN SMELL PLAYOFFS IN THE AIR. BEWARE OF KING JAMES.

You can’t have kids outright shoving other kids regardless of the level… should be on the parents to raise their kids to not act out like a toddler
The refs screwed Seattle. How the hell is the booth not buzzing to review the OBVIOUS pass interference on 3rd & Goal with a division title, playoff seeding on the line. That’s 1st & goal Seattle. The NFL is a disgrace. Use the rule if you’re going to institute a rule.

@rashadalaiyan
Big 3 in Miami’s biggest help was a 37 year old Ray Allen
The Nets have 32 year old Blake Griffin, 32 year old De’Andre Jordan, 29 year old Joe Harris, 35 year old LaMarcus Aldridge to help their big 3. Of which 2 of that Big 3 has won a league MVP.
KD chasing ring pops
@SportsCenter
This is a man who almost walked away from basketball last year as he tried to handle yet another injury. A former MVP had fallen from constant injuries that undercut his career trajectory. This is what basketball is all about. Rose still has it. Glad he got this moment
Pray for Ryan Shazier. That was a very very scary collision. Did not appear to have feeling in his legs as he rolled over. Football is dangerous; this only reminds us all of how it can happen to anyone
#Steelers
#Shazier
@BleacherReport
That’s a leader. KCP is 1-11 in this series from 3. LeBron believes in him & knows he needs him. Shooting is all about confidence in this league
THE ENTIRE GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS TEAM IS CLAPPING AND TAUNTING LEBRON IN HIS FACE AND THESE PIECE OF SHIT REFS ARE LETTING THAT FLY. NO DISCIPLINE. NOTHING. DISGRACE OF AN OFFICIATING CREW. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A TEAM GET AWAY WITH THAT BUSH LEAGUE PETTY SHIT

@kingtisemedia
If you’re asked to promote voting participation and you start going off on your own path… you deserve to get dumped and abandoned… Stephen Jackson is about himself - he’s made that clear, so don’t feel sorry for him. He chose his path.
@ESPNNBA
This looked to be utterly ridiculous. There’s no way Scott Foster would’ve heard anything more than the ref standing right next to Barnes… even he was baffled… that’s awful and outright killed any shot the Raptors had in a great game
@PerSources
He’s trying to run a pick and roll, Washington covers it well, pass gets deflected. Then re-engages and kicks to open shooter 2nd…
This is beyond weak if this is the best “example” you got for “selfish”
@PrimeAnukobe
The smallest amount of respect I might’ve had for Draymond Green just got run over by a bus. Specifically the Raptors team bus. The bus filled with citizens of several countries- all of which BLM applies to. It applies to everyone everywhere
AD putting Devin Booker on blast at the end of the game on the flagrant 2 foul on Booker. Rightfully so. Weak, dirty play from Booker is a really bad look for him. Don’t think he wants that reputation.
If you watched that 4th quarter, you have to know Giannis isn’t better than LeBron. Not yet.
When LeBron subbed in it was Team Giannis 142 - Team LeBron 136
Giannis DID NOT SCORE the remainder of the game. Primarily defended by: LeBron James himself.

Alright this one is pretty funny not gonna lie- but the point is that there’s a difference in showing emotion & show boating/mean mugging. The latter hasn’t worked out too well this playoffs for LA opponents lol

Bryce is already taller than Bronny… and plays plenty of ball outside of standard school hoops season- it’s 2022… he’s not the first kid to get a D1 offer this early. Some 8th graders get offers lol
