His ability to score has fallen off of a cliff and he had some poor turnovers last night(him & Steph) but his defense is so incredible that its impossible to overrate him. Dude was blowing the Lakers pick & roll action to bits last night. The Warriors just need one more quality starter to take the pressure off of Steph offensively so that the Warriors can make defenses pay when he's double and triple teamed, a healthy Klay and they would still be a contender.
Have you ever gotten poked in the eye? The eye is a prrrrrettty sensitive and unprotected part of the body. And it was a hard foul. God damn I get he embellishes but I swear he could get literally cut in half on the court and people would say “Jordan would’ve finished the game, LeFlop back at it” it’s so tiresome.
He played great defensively but played equally as poor offensively
Draymond had 0 points in 41 min , 6 turnovers and can’t get out of his own way. Too overhyped as a player and we seen that last year by himself he did absolutely zero when everyone was hurt. His bark is more than his bite.
It’s kinda weird that you’re ignoring that Draymond is arguably the best playmaking big in the NBA other than Jokic. Even last night he had 8 assists. By my count he had 24 games of 10+ assists this regular season.
I don’t think people hate Lebron as much as they just have this deep devotional love to MJ (pretty weird if you ask me) and they denigrate LBJ as a proxy way of performing their compulsive MJ worship
But their love for MJ leads to the outright hate of LeBron. They go together. It’s not just a comparison anymore.
If you actually watch the game his assists are handoffs to the most lethal shooter in the history of basketball. And if it’s not a handoff he gets going downhill by himself bc Curry is double teamed. Where was this crazy playmaking ability last year without Curry? His offensive ability is too overhyped. He’s a very poor decision maker.
Can’t get out of his own way means he can’t shut up. Had a tech called on him again. You can play hard without hurting your team and being a fool in a tournament game!!
That’s what I’m saying
But i’m saying it’s outgrown just the MJ vs LeBron thing. It’s a derangement now
I loved watching Michael Jordan play and I know he's the goat. That doesn't stop me one bit from appreciating LeBron and rooting for him at times, especially when Ray was on his team. Again I don't get this; if you like Jordan you like basketball, if you like basketball how can you not like the most successful guy playing basketball over the past 18yrs?!
Draymond only played 43 games last year but still averaged just over 6 assists which would’ve been good for 20th in the league and 2nd most for a center behind Jokic.
Jokic is significantly bigger than both of them and a better playmaker than both of them IMO, which is pretty freaky.
Averaged 8pts 38% FG for a front court player last year as a main option on the team. They run a triangle offense through him which he will get his assists (mostly handoffs) just like any other player. Not going to cut it if we have to talk about Draymond’s greatness. Like I said he is way overrated. He just has a big mouth that gives him attention.
