As far as whatever your retort is going to be, I've done more than enough on this site to prove my NBA knowledge.

He still wasn't as good this year as he has been in the past.

Commander of Awesome;1629781 wrote:LOL come the fuck on man. He wasn't as good. Your "eyes" not as good? the entire team wasn't as good as last year. My eyes/analytics tell me that.

Give it up dude, you can't look worse on the entire last couple pages. [closes eyes and hopes for Robj to respond with something even more dumb]

LeBron James was not as good of a defender this season as he was in the past.

robj55;1629799 wrote:It wasn't obvious, like I said. He was still elite defending the 1 through 4. Also team defensive breakdowns play int that as well, but you already knew that.

lhslep134;1629800 wrote:My point is that this year he sometimes caused those breakdowns when he never had before. And guess what captured that fact? His lower defensive rating.

But dude, what you were saying was obviously so offensive to my basketball sensibilities that I crossed the line between argumentative and combative to douchey. So for that, my apologies.

robj55;1629804 wrote:I was just messing with you. What I said wasn't that bad any way, I said that he was still elite and there was no noticeable effort drop off. There was but it was marginal, very marginal. Nothing to get worked up about.
