#lasttimelebronmissedafinals is pretty cool on Twitter.

2 that got me the most were:

- Lost was still playing on TV
- Apple had just introduced the 1st iPad

And Billy still enjoyed the finals..... lucky for me he's lost enough for me to enjoy some of them, will be tough rooting for him this time.

Get your popcorn ready. His whole HS/College career is going to be a mess because of pops

He's got ability and is a legit D1 point guard. The problem is the way he's allowed to play right now. If he was forced to play in a structured system and be part of the team and not "the show" he'd be more impressive.

That video is a bit misleading as well. His team was playing the Compton Magic which is a top 10 AAU program in the country and LaMelo's team is basically a local all-star team. He's going to look bad in that situation where the defense can completely focus on him. The kids on the Compton team were clearly jacked up to go after him too.

Yea but chucking up half court shots? I mean I'm sure they cut together all the worst looks there, and like you said, that team is good. But some of the stuff was just stupid.

Yes.

One of my favorite things about AAU basketball is when a loaded team shows up to play a team that is obviously of much lesser talent but has a system and is well coached. It never fails that when the well coached team makes a game of it the other team will start to implode. It's very entertaining and highly gratifying for a coach.

So kind of like most of the OOTP enjoying watching Boston lose?

Solid comparison. Corey is like LaVar ball out there placing no value on defense!!!

Warriors in 4

Finally!!!

The NBA season starts today.

tonight will be interesting. super long layoffs lead to some different variables than you'd normally see. might just come down to who is sharpest and hitting their 3's.

if Curry/Durant are even remotely decent they should be fine... but if they shoot way below their %'s and Cle can get into transition then it could get interesting. Cle basically needs to get transition points to win unless they go Spurs style and just don't miss a shot.

i'd guess GS in 5.

I got GS in 6
