A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

6) No US Politics.

Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I don't disagree with anything you're saying.

Here's the thing that I think puts LeBron in tier 1 status, the 2016 Cavs pulled off the single hardest thing anyone has ever done in the history of the NBA. Come back from down 3-1 against a historically great Warriors team. MJ never did that. Kareem never did that. Even the greatest winner of all time Bill Russell.

But I will respond to this. Jordan didn't need to come back 3-1 in the finals because he was never in that position in the finals. Russell come back down 3-1 against Wilt Chamberlain earlier in the playoffs, the first time it was ever done. Kareem only faced that situation when he was past his prime. Still damn impressive when lebron did it and I remember at the time thinking it was career defining. Lebron was definitely the most complete player in physicality and skillset, but he was the master of none.

The thing that always impressed me about Jordan and Curry was the sheer number of times they just completely took over a game and looked like an unstoppable force of nature. Too many times to count.
