Lebron, AD, KD and Steph Curry are all scheduled to be in the play in tournament: not conference finals, and not the nba finals.
Yes my friend the so called greatest player of the game, the greatest shooter of the game, the greatest pure scorer of the game etc oh and key players on your 2024 Olympic team.
Overpaid and overhyped

Re: Just so you know
Yes, that's happens when you have a supremely talented and deep league.
Superstars in their prime push out fading superstars who would have normally been on retirement's doorstep (Durant/Curry), or sprinted beyond it (Lebron) in the old days.
Joker-29
Joel-30
Giannis-29
Luka-25
SGA-25
Tatum-26
Brunson-27
None of those monikers for Lebron/Steph/KD would apply taking their play within the 2024 season in isolation.

Re: Just so you know
If they are fading why are they among the highest paid?

Because there isn't a perfect correlation with pay and performance in the NBA? Because of contract timing, length, salary cap issues, playing unusually good in a contract year vs. unexpectedly bad, etc...AtiliusRegulus wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2024 8:05 pm If they are fading why are they among the highest paid?
Is Bradley Beal the 6th best player in the NBA? Simmons the 20th? Tatum the 37th? Brunson the 53rd? SGA 34th?

Re: Just so you know
I think the real question (with respect to today's Era) is: Are the players overpaid because they're overhyped, or are they overhyped because they're overpaid?
Objectively speaking, I'd say it's a little of both on average.

"Lebron doesn’t guard for a full game and our game plan was to get him to play defense and he left me open all game."

When is the last time you actually watched a basketball game? Your takes are generally so incredibly stupid that I chalk it up to not watching. Nobody could actually really be that disconnected from a sport they actually watch, could they?AtiliusRegulus wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2024 7:46 pm Lebron, AD, KD and Steph Curry are all scheduled to be in the play in tournament: not conference finals, and not the nba finals.
