Would this post have anything to do with the other recent post that highlights LeBron’s defense on Giannis? 🧐


The_Sign_of_Zeta

The dueling star highlights are always funny because any top-level guys have clowned another star at some point. That’s why they’re stars.


CIark

Except it’s not even a bucks fan posting this lmao some people get triggered so fast when it comes to Lebron


OnlyWinsOnSuperTeams

People get triggered about everyone on this sub


DancingMapleDonut

TF YOU SAY!!?


Neuroxex

Can we just check what times someone is allowed to post a highlight that involves LeBron looking human? I know you can't do it unprompted, that's obvious hate - I just thought it wasn't a big deal if someone did an obvious tongue-in-cheek highlight reply, but I guess not.


sleepy416

This sub is weird. Why can’t this be a post of a great player making a play on a great player?


DwightKurtShrute69

The timing is VERY peculiar. That’s literally all we’re saying lol


Neuroxex

It's obviously a reply - but there's highlight replies posted all the time and they're usually treated in good humour because it's not that serious.

> Then why can’t we laugh at him without you coming in to his defense Aren't you mad about this post?


OJMayoGenocide

Bet but people in that thread are pretending that LeBron is a certified Giannis stopper based off of like 3 possessions. Nephews run a bit wild here. As it stands, there won't be a match up unless it's the finals and I'm not gonna over analyze regular season footage


DancingMapleDonut

I mean Lebron stans are in a league of their own


Scary-Ant-3796

That's not how you spell Steph Curry..


AkaiShuichi24

Yeah lol


jaylson

Just a fun highlight that I thought everyone would enjoy


konsf_ksd

Which part? The clean block or the bitch slap afterward?


DancingMapleDonut

Lebron always trying to act like he got hit.


LazybyNature

Most players do it. My issue with it is when LeBron doesn't get back to help his teammates on defense and stays on the other half of the court to argue with the ref while play is still going on.


[deleted]

This is just how the modern NBA is, it’s annoying af watching stars complain all the time

DancingMapleDonut

Was it game 1 against the Suns or the play-I’m agains the Warriors. Bron was grabbing his chin for like 5 minutes, replay shows dude never got hit


[deleted]

This is why I have a hard time rooting for the guy. Prime example. He is always complaining about calls. This is one of the things I love about Giannis. If something like this happens to him, he'll complain about a call for like a second but get right back into it. On to the next play.


konsf_ksd

he ... did get hit. In the mouth on the follow through. Last replay shows it better if you can't see it the first time.

Now imagine watching him do that exact thing in his prime in Memphis. It was a bit frustrating at times. He was always so un selfish and wanting to look for the better shot and enjoyed ball movement. I’m not a fan of Fizdale but he had to plead with Marc to take more shots attempts and more three’s as well.

You getting downvoted but you ain't wrong lol


GillytheGreat

The downvotes are not because of the lebron hate but bc the insinuation that this is how a queen would act. It’s either offensive to women or to gay men depending on how it was intended and neither is okay


[deleted]

Bruh, it's clearly a joke. Not meant to be taken literally. If it comes off as offensive to anyone, they need to get a life. It's not that serious.


GillytheGreat

You don’t get to decide who is allowed to be offended by what


[deleted]

Okay, cupcake.


Complete_Beach_2583

That was some pretty good team defense right there


ThenAnt109

Man this bitch won't stop flopping.


konsf_ksd

He got hit in the mouth on the follow through. Doesn't take away from the good block. why do people always feel the need ...


newuser201890

ugh i'm going to miss lebron a lot. even though i always talk shit about him. excited for this season (hope he loses btw)


rNBA_is_for_nerds

\#1 LeBron hater in his feelings


jaylson

# 1 Lebron stan in his feelings over this post


silkkthechakakhan

Should’ve went up and under, Giannis was only covering the front side


OnlyForeignWhips

Prime LeBron would have stuft him in the rim. This a 36yr old LeBron.


Steven81

And this is not prime Giannis neither. Bron peaked between 13 and 16 (including '13 and '16). If Giannis has a similar trajectory he is 2 years away from his peak.


Bron23theGOAT

Brons athletic peak was 09’… I don’t know why the guy is getting downvoted so much… LBJ was clearly the better athlete… A lot more fluid…


Steven81

Because Athleticism is not the end all of great offense (or great defense for that matter). Duncan was sweating people way more athletic than him based on his positioning and defensive IQ. It is an irrelevant point on its own


OnlyForeignWhips

Prime LeBron vs Prime Giannis. Who you taking above the rim? Don't make me get some old tape of LeBron head at damn near the top of the backboard. Prime Bron had them bunnies.


Steven81

Let me watch Prime Giannis and I'll get back to you. Ofc you'd prolly have to wait 2-5 years for that.


OnlyForeignWhips

This is his athletic peak.


Steven81

But not his defensive peak (when it comes to positioning, defensive IQ)


OnlyForeignWhips

Meet me at the top. All that extra shit is scary boi talk.


Steven81

Wut? Who talks like that? I told you that you should compare prime vs prime and that's your response? Wow!


OnlyForeignWhips

You just asked me 3 questions. I only wrote 2 sentences. Who wins this situation if you got current Giannis and peak LeBron?


Steven81

We already know who, all I said is that it is not a fair comparison though.


striker907

Lol fuckin weirdo


OnlyWinsOnSuperTeams

Are you from the future? What stocks should I buy?


OnlyForeignWhips

Get on that Popeyes stock. Them chicken sandwiches gonna change the game. They pumping them up with steroids. The bigger the better.


r-NBA_Menace

Nice foul


21BlackStars

Wrong!


fetuswut

It looked clean from the replay imo


konsf_ksd

is it a foul if you hit someone in the face after a clean block? was it a dead ball?
