Do you think his body is becoming injury prone?

Yes I dont think he will ever be a 70 game player. But if he can play 50-60 games and be ready for the playoffs, where he can take it to another level he will be fine

I never had confidence he could bring a championship. These past couple of years only solidified that opinion.
He is a player that will help you win championships. Not a player to build a championship team around.
It is one of those things that you will know it when you see it. I just don't see it in him.
I am sure you will disagree on this. 

Is there any player in the last 20 years that you think you can build a championship team around?

LeBron at one point but not now.
Today I would start with Giannis.

I think everyone agrees to LeBron and Duncan.

I think it was a joke.

Didn’t read the article but anyone who thinks Jordan was just a scorer is an uninformed idiot.

Opening night.
1 - To soon for LA to panic?

Ok, I waited 4 games this year but the question is the same.
I was laughed at last year but let's see who is laughing now.

Good thing he renewed his contract there. He really went full hollywood.

He's still easily a top 400 player.

That is downright mean.
I am taking bets he wins the 6th man title.

It seems that way, but they have nothing but love for him.

First I will admit I have not watched a lot of games. From the games I did watch I have a question. Does anyone play defense anymore?

Not sure when the last time you've really followed the NBA, but they're constantly tweaking the rules and the current iteration is causing high scoring. Coupled with the affinity and ability of 3 point shooting.

They didn't ban defense, did they?
