Now just imagine if the all-time scoring leader wasn't a pass-first player how many scoring titles he won. [Reply]

No, he only averaged 10 PPG more than Magic at the same time as dropping all those assists (24th highest assist rate of all time at 7.34 a game). [Reply]
I'm not a Draymond fan, but him doing that podcast immediately after the game and calling out Brooks was awesome. The Grizzlies are one of the least likeable teams in all of sports. They haven't done shit and there best player is a punk ass bitch that's surrounded by the biggest idiot friends and family of all time. [Reply]

Yep. Right behind the great Mugsy Bogues on the list. [Reply]

You do realize that everybody on that list (https://www.basketball-reference.com..._g_career.html) ahead of him was a pass-first player as well, right? Not one of them averaged as many points as LeBron did and only two of them (Oscar Robertson and Westbrook) even averaged 20 PPG.
I'm not sure what point you think you're making, but LeBron was quite literally a pass first player who nearly averaged 30 PPG anyway. He's the most complete player of all time, hence the GOAT. [Reply]

The point is if a guy has as many scoring titles as the 4 next best players that guy is unquestionably the best scorer ever.. But I'll also give guys like Malone and Lebron props for playing a lot of years and racking up numbers. Tom Brady achievement awards. But hey LeBron had a whole 2 more assist per game in an era with rules and styles that heavily favored offense so pass first guy! or something like that. [Reply]
Guess those rehab rumors were correct. Hope he gets the help he needs along with some lap dances.
Reporting with @ESPN_MacMahon: Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant has entered a counseling program in Florida and there remains no timetable for his return to active play.
