Magic should be fired. He's been an awful president of basketball operations/defacto GM. The team he put around LeBron makes zero sense. The fact that he thought a non shooter like Rondo was a good idea when LeBron would be the primary ball handler is mind blowing.

Ok...

Is he 38?

Aging vs wear and tear.

Aging happens no matter how many minutes you play.

Actually they went 47-35. Of course the Jazz had Karl Malone, Jerry Sloan, and a team that was properly constructed for Sloan's system.

He is in this job because he got to stand on the sideline for the greatest team ever assembled while Steve Kerr's back was disintegrating.
I never understood why people gave Luke Walton so much credit for being a paid monkey on the sideline while Kerr was out with a back issue.

Kerr has already prepared the team during the offseason and previous years of work. Walton was following Kerr’s rotations and play calls on game day.

You could have had the video coordinator for the team do what Walton was doing and he would have been just as successful.


I don’t know how good of a coach Walton is, but that stint with the Warriors shouldn’t have been proof of anything.

Lebron has played more minutes than MJ did



And yet despite all the advancements in sports medicine and training hasn’t accomplished as much as Jordan.

You don't think Jordan would have tried to exploit a competitive advantage by leveraging another team?

If MJ could have leveraged a trade of Jud Buechler for Gary Payton, he would have. You think MJ got to where he was by not exploiting all the competitve advantages he could?

Lebron is a cancer

I’m loving that he is tarnishing his legacy but doesn’t have the self awareness to realize it

Regular season and playoffs combined, LeBron has 55,988 minutes, 1,826 more minutes than Stockton's combined 54,162.

Do yourself a favor and watch Jordan's HOF acceptance speech. He takes arrogance and competitiveness to an otherworldly level.
