apparently he was showcasing some of his other talents for his fans while leaving an oklahoma steak house.  he really should be a little more careful so as not to strain a muscle or something

That's funny. And disgusting.

He's also having an amazing season.

After injuries and other stuff ruined his Laker debut year, LeBron is having a pretty amazing season.

Other stuff?  You mean being cantankerous and putting in no effort on defense while alienating all his young teammates in an attempt to successfully run them off?  He's having a great year, but suddenly its all fun and games now that he has AD and a good role players?  Shocking.

I'll wait on the Lakers until they play the meat of their schedule.  The Lakers have one of the most amazing soft start schedules Ive seen.  12 of their 16 games have been against teams under .500.  They are 2-2 in those other 4 games. They play Dallas, Denver, and Utah to start December.  They already beat Dallas but that was before Luka turned into an inferno and Utah will be on the road.  Good benchmark games to see now that people are salivating over the Lakers winning 70+ and waltzing to a title as they destroy another 5 and 10 team  ::)

Meanwhile, speaking of Luka, he's averaging 35-10-10.5 over his last 5.  Thats insanity.

No effort on defense...you don’t say.

Exactly. He’s lacking attention so he’s here to ruin every thread. And then play the victim and claim it wasn’t his fault.

LOL.  I'm just glad you acknowledged that defense is a joke in the NBA...Lebron a perfect example.

Yes, Draymond Green....Kyrie Irving...Patrick Beverely...etc...all saying NBA doesn't play defense but "WHAT'S UP WITH ALL THE TATTOOS".

Wonder if they plan on having their tattoos removed.  Good one.

All about the points...keep those with no attention spans paying attention with points points points points.  OLE....OLE....OLE

College defenses are so superior to the jokes that are NBA defenses that you could put the current Warriors (worst team...or pick whatever NBA team you want to with the worst offense) up against Virginia with NBA rules (3 point line, shot clock, etc.) and the Warriors/whatever NBA team would put up 150 easily.

Now the only people who enjoy the NBA are those without attention spans?  Aka millenials and those who aren't as basketball cultured and savvy?  You're such pompous douchebag man.  Thank god you have this outlet, otherwise you'd be degrading service staff and kicking dogs.

And if the NBA didn't play defense, Beverly wouldn't have a job.  But keep it up honey, you're doing great.

I would hope so, they are all pros where most college teams have zero pros on them.  I would say 200.

The difference is effort, and actually being allowed to breathe on the offensive player, also not allowing 4 steps and the continuation nonsense in the NBA.  So yes, NBA players better...way way way better.  College players worse...way way way worse.  Desire, attitude, effort, also different between the two.

Mr Beverley said he can no longer play defense the way it is supposed to be played.  He is a good defender and we all praise him like he is a insanely great because so few even put the effort into it like he does, that’s how much of a void there is now.

Mr. Green said it best, this is what the NBA wants...lots of points, make it exciting.  Our data shows the same thing, and the skewing of people who say it is way younger. Points points points.  If Harden needs to take 5 steps and it looks cool doing it...he deserves it.  Give an inch take a mile.

Incidentally I didn’t say only those with short attention spans, please read.

All these leagues are in a major panic (we all have the same data) to get those young eyeballs to watch....the ones glued to their phones, the ones that feel separation anxiety when they don’t have their phones (true...several studies) with them, so they are going to do whatever it takes to make it fast and entertaining. 

Baseball has the toughest job here.  Robot umpires? Being in the fences? Juice the balls? Make the games 7 innings? 

Basketball, before I’m 70 there will be a four point line.  Hockey will widen the nets sooner rather than later. Football will continue to make it more and more difficult to defend against the pass.  Just how it is.  They are in full blown panic because the numbers from the under 30’s are so bad at the moment.

I’m going to disagree. Some players can be lazy on defense no doubt. By and large NBA players play hard and physical as hell. You aren’t watching if you don’t see that. The fact of the matter is that unlike college players, NBA players make open shots and even we’ll defended shots consistently.

All this.
The notion that these guys became the best players in the world while also being lazy is beyond dumb.
If they lacked desire, work ethic and the necessity attitude, they wouldn't be where they are today.

Don’t forget any passion or love for the game. That vanishes when you put on an NBA jersey. Then you’re just a mercenary salaryman who only cares for green.

The Bucks in the East and the Clippers in the West.

Nuggets, Jazz, and Rockets right there with the Lakers. I’d be surprised if the Lakers are in the WCF. Their top 2 are studs obviously. But they have just one other player averaging double figures and he’s at 12 PPG (Kuzma).

Good picks.  Think Laker studs slightly better than Clipper studs.  Will someone like Dwight Howard be an X factor?

I’m curious why you thought those guys went on record to say that about defense?  Incidentally there were about 5 or 6 others that also did, but figured the point was made?  That’s quite a few players willing to state it publicly and not just also ran players.
