Stephen A. Smith says if LeBron James goes to Cleveland he can do no wrong: “If LeBron goes to Cleveland it’s his shot. He ain’t working for Kenny Atkinson, Kenny Atkinson is working for him. He ain’t working for Koby Altman, Koby Altman is working for him. Dan Gilbert is the owner cutting the checks and he still working for LeBron James. Don’t get me started with James Harden and who he working for. Donovan Mitchell getting ready to sign a 4 year $273 million extension and he will still be working for LeBron James.” (Via Stephen A Smith)

Stephen A Smith GOES IN on LeBron saying he gets sh*tted on in the GOAT debate: “That is where the problem lies. What we don’t talk about enough is as great as LeBron James is, we don’t talk about what he has done to hurt, not the game, but narratives associated with the game…. If your name is in the conversation it’s because you’re an all time great! But when it comes to LeBron James, oh no. You’re pooping on the player. You’re dogging them. It’s the negativity.” (Via First Take)

I legitimately thought Kenny Atkinson was just maybe tryna instill confidence in James Harden when he said he was a “good 1 on 1 defender” but i had no idea he was gone take that shit to heart. Why every time any player but James Harden Guard Brunson, why the hell he send a double? But when it’s harden just say F* it and leave him on an island???

Kendrick Perkins GOES IN on James Harden for his defense 😳 “James Harden was a defensive liability once again! The Knicks were scoring on him at will! The entire Knicks squad was 9-15 in the 4th and OT when Harden was the defender. Brunson was 7-8! At some point if you’re Kenny Atkinson, you have to see this and get him off the damn floor! Here we are again. Different series, same story. James Harden with more Turnovers than FGM!” Dwyane Wade NEVER got talked about like this 💀

Dwyane Wade just challenged James Harden to show up in game 6/7 because that's what great players do 💀 "I think it's unfortunate but also fortunately, James Harden will be talked about and discussed on what he does in this moment. The game 6 moments. Then if you're the Pistons possibly game 7 moments. These are the moments the greats are supposed to rise and be greater than everyone else. We want to see James rise to the level that we seen James for so many years in other moments throughout his career"

"The guys that LeBron has a problem with are the guys that can't think the game. Whatever foibles James (Harden) has is not that. It wouldn't hurt to pair James with somebody who has the work ethic LeBron has." 📞Ric Bucher says LeBron and James Harden would be a good fit together👀
