LeBron James, Joakim Noah, and Kevin Love on "perfect team" roster (ESPN INSIDER)

[J Shuttlesworth]

Nowadays if you're an old, washed up athlete, the most profitable thing you can do for your career is come out gay. Jason Collins was a nobody during his 10 years in the NBA, only true followers of the league knew who tf he was. Now he is a celebrity, well known by all and said to be a good NBA player, good locker room presence

lol someone needs to pave the way for gays to be open in sports. Why not Jason Collins?

Why not just use Bosh at PF?

Just because Love statpads as the primary scorer doesnt make him the better player. Bosh can put up 24 and 11 on a bad team too, which he did in Toronto. And he's a better system defender.


Bosh >> Love, deal with it.

I want to know what the fvck Collins is doing in the locker room to make him such a valuable "locker room presence." I'm not buying the reasons given.

[davehos]

Not sure why everyone hypes Kevin Love. The man can't play D. Timberwolves lost how many close games? He's always lookin for a board and not defending the rim.

It's hard to win when you have to score 105+ every night just to have a chance. They allow 104 points per game ....

I'll take old man Tim Duncan over Love any day of the week. Anthony Davis is leaps and bounds better than Kevin Love and he's in his 2nd year.

[blablabla]

I would take Andre Miller instead of Fisher or Beverly, because while he isn't consistant 3 point shooter he can at least bring the ball up the court and make plays. Lebron would be the only perimeter player with true pointguard skills on this team.

ESPN, where LeBron is now Jordan and Durant is Karl Malone for not having won a ring through age 24....

[russwest0]

The worst part is they acted like they were assembling this roster taking into account future considerations as well and still chose LeBron over Durant even though Durant will have 2x more play in his prime moving forward, is currently the better player, and has the better contract.

Just BSPN at it again.

[BIZARRO]

Karl Malone is seriously underrated here. In his prime, he was a 31/11 at 56% FG player. The GOAT is literally the only reason he's ringless. Let's not forget his defensive presence too which is far beyond Durant's d.

Definitely seriously underrated.
