Helluva game going between the T-Wolves and Mavs.

Kyrie and Luka have combined for 67.

EDIT: Great win for the Mavs, they needed it. Team put in good effort and the two stars did their thing.

Finalllllyyyy.. Mavs beat T-Wolves.

If we had D Lively, we probably would have won more comfortably.

If we can string together some more performances like this against top teams, we'll be a serious play off team.

Jones Jr. was vital tonight.

Also missing Exum who has meshed exceptionally well with the team this year.
 
LeBron less than 500 points away from 40k points.

Would be the 1st with 40K points 10K Rebs 10K Assts , he's already the only one with 30K 10K 10K .

Unless Luka or Jokic play 20+ seasons and over 1400-1600 games , we will never see anything like this ever again.

Bunch of longevity shit, I mean, cool, whatever, but per game stats are always what players are judged by.

I have respect for Lebron and have him in the Top 5 All Time, based on his per game stats and other accolades, but this longevity shit, almost no athlete ever is put on a GOAT level based on longevity stats. Its the reason why Kareem was not considered the GOAT when he was leading the league in scoring for 30 years. Same thing in football, nobody thinks Emmitt Smith is better than Barry Sanders because he played 15 years and rushed for 18k yards.

I love how people try to downplay LeGoats greatness with longevity stats. Compare him with any of your all time goats and his stats are bwttwr regardless of longevity. I’ll wait for you to compare.

LeBron has the Strongest argument vs Jordan, who I still think is No.1 regardless of the jokes on either side .

His stats are not better than Jordan's, not traditional stats, not advanced analytics, and not when compared against others that play his position. Jordan has the edge across the board.

I'm not hating on Lebron right now, although sometimes I do. I give him his due and have him solidly at the #2 or #3 All Time. I'm not saying he sucks, I'm saying this longevity argument is not great. I'm far more impressed with his per game dominance.
