Lakers and LeBum swept!!!!

[GarnettFan4Life]

No mello stat tops this,

crazy stat but makes sense though given the other East recipient!

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

I would give Irving a greater than 7% change of doing something truly offensive/moronic that gets him excluded...

facts! he'll probably abuse the guy who runs the hall of fame on twitter or something!

We can only hope whatever it is is that mundane!

No the people who decide the award are probably Freemason just like him.

The only stat Lebron had better was assists,

 

[Dodgydave]

Actually scrap most of that — I did a misread on Anthony's stats!

Advanced stats stuff below is correct though.

The main four advanced stats also pretty much agree, James had significant edges in PER, VORP and Box plus/minus. Anthony did top him in Win Shares 6.1 to 5.1, so credit there, but as the above graphic shows Denver did have a few more wins to go around.

The only stat Lebron had better was assists,

Not all assists are created equal but having 3.1 more assists is creating 6.3-9.3 more points per game. Think LBJ deserved it.

Where’s Darko?

Lol. Talking about melo/LeBron rc year now. Consider who each had on their squad. LeBron - Carlos Boozer, a healthy Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Larry Hughes. Carmelo - well-past-his-prime nick van exel, juwan Howard (injured most if the season and on the decline), Nikoloz Tkitishvili, and four other rc's highlighted by Vincent Yarbrough. By rights, Denver should have been wooden spooners. The Roy that year was a popularity thing imo.

Great season by the Lakers. I didn't think they would even make the playoffs and to make the west finals is quite the achievement. I'm sure LeBron and the Lakers will be back stronger next season. Well done guys.

Yes they did climb an injury mountain and the Westbrook saga, everybody counted them out I think it was fun to watch them Storm into the playoffs and knock the young cocky grizzlies and veteran warriors teams out, fun to watch can’t wait to see what they do trade season and hope AD is fit and has an injury free year.

In other news Pigs to develop carrier airline between Ireland and France.

LeBron is very good at controlling the narrative. They've just been swept out of the playoffs but the headline is whether he will go on next year.

I hope AD is fit and has an injury free year after he gets traded to the Knicks, he has the potential to be my favourite player other big men with his skill don’t usually get in and do the hard work like he does.

Interesting odds on future Hall of Famers - what do you think?

Thought I'd have a look for Carmelo since he retired today

Ok 98.4% chance seems pretty good.........

Paul George and Kyle Lowry are shocks imo and I'd eventually have Kevin Love in over Kyrie if it came to that lol

I'm probably the biggest PG fan on here and I can't believe his odds are that high given who is below him.

He's just behind a Championship winning MVP too.

I'm not complaining though!

Here's the top 15 I came to after researching for my Top 100 all time list -

1 Jordan
2 Russell
3 Shaq
4 Lebron
5 Kareem
6 Magic
7 Kobe
8 Larry
9 Duncan
10 Hakeem
11 Curry
12 Wilt
13 Oscar
14 Durant
15 Dr J

Only one that has me thinking a fair bit is Wilt - I'm open to moving him up but that's as high as I could get him as of right now. Curry will probably move up too actually.

I was talking to NBA tragics at footy the other day, and it was hard selecting the top five.

Mine were Magic, Jordan, Bird, Pippen and Hakeem. Kobe was 6th. So many great players to choose from. Hard work.

Toughest list to do!!

Pippen is an interesting one to have so high! Above Wilt and Steph and Duncan?

I always love seeing other peoples lists!

Don't get me wrong, great players, all of them, just Pippen did not get recognised enough. With Rodman and co, that team was simply so good. In my era anyway. James Worthy, no one liked either, but I would put him in the top 15 of all time.

Where do you have Pippen on the all time list @Essellohbeebeewhy ?

We all know its #1 and anyone you name at #2 is a distant second. Michael Norings without 33!

I knew I could trust you with a serious answer!
