Woah now I stood by while you guys talked about LeBron v. Michael Jordan and the future of American democracy but these things are important and Half Baked is better than Cherry Garcia.

Half Baked is Steph Curry, the new flavor of the week that appeals to teenagers. Cherry Garcia is GOAT that people stopped appreciating because they just take it for granted because it's been around so long

False. Chunky Monkey and Phish Food are also better than Half Baked (a mediocre SKU)

Lockback posted:

Jordan (minus the Washington years) and Lebron have identical TS%s. You claim Jordan's offense is less efficient, but he was exactly as efficient as Lebron is at turning possessions into points. So why again was MJs offense inferior?

LBJ has a higher 2P%, 3P%, TS%, eFG% and gets like one less bucket per game. If we start removing player seasons then I can remove LBJs early NBA years and make him look even more superior against Jordan.

Lockback posted:

Again, comparing across Era's is stupid because no one in the 80s and 90s was playing a 3pt-oriented game so its not really fair to hold that against MJ. In the future I promise there will be some other paradigm that comes along and that shouldn't retroactively make Lebron worse.

Reggie Miller is the #2 3P scorer of all-time. His career heavily overlaps with MJ's. Jordan took plenty of threes and was mediocre.

Libertine posted:

Also Lebron should pass Jordan's total games played next year so it should be a lot easier to directly compare them at that point. At this current point I feel like Lebron compares favorably on everything except ringzzzzz and midrange offense.

Jordan was better at FTs.

Libertine posted:

...I'm making an extremely limited appeal for Lebron and respect that he probably falls below as age drags him into inefficiency.

I'm confident LBJ will finish with stronger aggregate numbers across the board.

Is Kemba Walker the second best PG in the east?

He looks like he's in that 1-3 range.

The real best player of course is Kareem. Nearly 40,000 points coupled with TS% over 59%. So very far above anyone else it's not even close.

attackmole posted:

Top 5 is such a dumb criteria, especially as the league goes on and there's more and more players to consider. If you really have to 'rank' poo poo, tiers make more sense. MJ, Lebron, Wilt, Kareem, Russell, Shaq, Duncan, etc. are godlike tier players who single handedly can put a team in championship contention. The end. Arbitrarily limiting yourself and trying to say 'but which 5 are best???' is dumb

Wilt/Russell would have a bad chance at winning titles these days. Russell was an awful shooter even in the 1960s era against weak competition.

Like this whole attitude is elitist as gently caress and is a big reason why we have President Trump incoming. To me it seems an independently wealthy celeb with no real scandals attached to them, a history of being extremely charismatic and polished in front of the press, and a persona of being someone who actually cares and tries to help people would be the ideal candidate.

-Wealthy
-Celeb
-Extreme charisma
-Polished

Those are all elitist attributes.

Spacebump posted:

By pointing out he reads for leisure I didn't mean I currently want to elect LeBron. Just that it's likely he could be better at the job than Trump. The bar has been lowered tremendously for all offices if the country can elect someone that doesn't like reading to the presidency.

A lot of US presidents never attended college. Some barely had any formal education.

should be FG, REB, AST, STL, and BLK with all = 1
