Ethan Strauss ‏@SherwoodStrauss -- LeBron's dunking exhibition looks like something Cleveland LeBron could do while wearing chain mail.

______________________________________________

Ethan Strauss ‏@SherwoodStrauss -- People get sensitive on this topic. LeBron's not as athletic as he was. It's normal.

bron wore chain mail

There is a strong correlation between the decline in his athleticism and the height of his hairline

his hair is chain mail

unfair. lebron james is still one of the top 30 players in the nba. maybe one of the top 20.

me irl

haha. paul george wouldn't take a crucial blood-transfusion from "a magic" if PG was bleeding to death on the battlefield.

Is it just me or is Paul George like the least branded/celebrity-like "great" player in the NBA. Dude's persona seems somewhere in between "blank" and "kinda mean"

hes not a great player is the secret that makes it all make sense

his low-level meanness is pretty funny

his brand is "swimcap hairline"

PG is definitely really good, the offense couldn't keep up at elite levels forever obv but he's still probably the best wing defender in the NBA. and the offense will rebound back i think, he's shown so much improvement already, has the work ethic, is just entering his prime, etc

the offense has already bounced back to the mean, i mean hes a cool player for sure but just lol everyone mvp conversationing and top fiving him earlier this year i was right and you were wrong FACED

I like that in his one speaking part in a national commercial he's like "hey everybody I get two steals a game!"

also may i submit that its a lot easier to be the best wing defender in the nba with roy hibdawg behind you than w/o

damn u harshing on pg

sry im just programed that way to hate overrrated players i am a messanger of truth

Harsh swimcap truths itt

i do think there was a v. obvious thing about pg where no one suddenly becomes a top 5 player through like, hard work; basketball just doesn't really work like that

yes also hitting all those very difficult shots

the weird thing is everyone was already predicting superstardom for him based on the great series he had against miami and then it happened and it seemed like it made sense when really it didnt

he's a 23 year old, freakishly athletic 6'9 dude

celtics plz stop winning games srsly whats the point cio

pg did a cool dunk in a game once though

the dunk wasnt even that cool

lag∞n places a chip on his shoulder, dares the other kids to knock it off

dunk was cool cos he wore a swim cap iirc, basically freestyle stroked a jam

it's hard to be a top-player with two first names.

celtics plz stop winning games srsly whats the point cio

come to think of it actually, how many top players DON'T have two first names these days

hm . . .

• paul george
• dwight howard
• cliff paul

lebron james duh

oh yeah.

well, he's top 20. i guess he qualifies.

David Lee
MIchael Carter William
Tim Duncan
Tony Parker

fine. but "paul george" is the most boring of them all.

well, cliff paul comes close.

anyway, the point is that "paul george" is an especially boring name. he should change it to "john ringo."

Philly's doing it again

I think Raptors-Pelicans was the only close game of the night and even that is stretching it

former top player Dwyane Wade
Carmelo Anthony
Blake Griffin

Jeremy Lynn

Dragic is a popular Slovenian first name

Paul Pierce (Brosnan)

lol philly how did they start the season so well? how did this team every win a game

former top player Dwyane Wade

he legally changed his name to "Former Top Player Dwyane Wade," so that's not all first names.

Rudy Gay (Talese)
