Hey, hey, hey, this has always been something that Kevin (and LeBron) have objected to and not something I'm pulling from my ***.

It’s not something you’re pulling from your *** but it’s something that I think you have the wrong timeline for and are over exaggerating a bit.

KD logged tons of minutes at the 4 for Golden State, every time they went with Dray at the 5, and often he played a 5-like role as he was their only rim protection at times too. That’s why I never agreed he wasn’t going to do it with the Nets.

PF has been one of the positions LeBron has played for like 10 years now, especially on defense.

Do both of them want to avoid “banging” in situations it can be avoided, sure, but neither of them are shying away from or refusing to play that 4 spot like you’ve made it sound. Especially now at least, as they’ve both been doing it for at least the past 4ish years.

Kyrie and Durant are too damn lethal.

Is Durant the most dangerous/efficient scorer ever? Outside of big men?

I'd still say Mike.. He didn't have the height advantage KD does but he was unguardable from anywhere regardless.

You guys have a team full of long, tall, young and athletic dudes... I'm impressed

Loved the defense they played on Tatum throughout the night.

He was going to get points but most of them were not clean looks. Jeebs imma need film breakdown on that, lol.

Glad to see Dwight Powell back. He was huge for them before injuries.

I'm quite aware, OJ, that both guys played the 4 in spurts or part - time, but I'm talking about logging heavy minutes at the 4 for the majority of a regular season.

Both Miami and Golden State used the "death lineups" for playoff basketball mostly.

They have been reluctant in the past to do it full - time (just like Duncan, Aldridge, KG playing the 5), but clearly age, roster construction and other factors made that a moot point.

Like I said before, him playing the 4 is great for his longevity and the mismatch he creates with his handles, shooting ability and quickness (if he hasn't lost a step).

Are the MPLS - style jerseys a throwback or the City jerseys for the Lakers?

I always thought that eras color scheme was better than the Purple and Gold.

I think the true throwbacks said “Los Angeles” so this is just copying the theme a bit.

I do like the color scheme though. There was a photoshop going around with Bron in the “Los Angeles” version of these that I couldn’t find just now, and I was always hoping they would actually wear them but it never happened.

Yah with the white outline under the blue I think. I definitely agree on those Celtics unis from earlier. Them joints were terrible. I like the pseudo throwback Mavs green jerseys with the M and the cowboy hat.

This game might be a fun back and forth one. I kinda tuned out of the Bucks/Warriors game and the Nets one I had to go out and shovel snow. I figured Brooklyn had it though by halftime.

What shoes are Bron wearing in that Crenshaw pic?

I think that is from his more affordable line of shoes, the Nike LeBron Witness 4.
