Not sure where to post this. Some guy was telling me Kobe was better than Lebron. I laughed at him and said Kobe wasn't even in the top 5 of players in his generation. Obviously "generation" is tough to define but all of these players have very lengthy periods of overlap with Kobe's career, and all have some prime years that overlap with Kobe's prime years.
I listed the 5 better than him as
Lebron
Shaq
Duncan
Garnett
Nowitzki
I wanted to add Chris Paul too when I thought about it later.
Even if Korver is totally stationary (which he won't be, but even if) LeBron and Kyrie are huge gravity guys and Korver's going to have more open shots per minute than he's ever had before.
i'll never understand that first 3 months of clev. it was like he was in a depression and his muscles couldn't fire as hard. some really bizarre below the rim plays had me thinking the decline was happening. been basically incredible since then. christmas day dunk was so much power.
3 point shot takes legs too and lebrons been awesome this year (relatively)
He left the team for 2 weeks to go to Miami for the "recuperative powers of warm weather". He almost certainly will never make the mistake of cutting back on the PEDs ever again.

This is a fine list. We're long past the point of Kobe>LeBron being reasonable. Where we currently stand is if you are someone who thinks Kobe is better than LeBron then you are someone whose opinion on basketball is meaningless. Stop wasting your time, talk Netflix or something. Stranger things was pretty dope. **** he prob thinks the Walking Dead is better.
Yeah people that think Kobe is >>> LBJ at this point are Kobe stans or like All.B.lackD.an level of delusional Lebron haters. Best to just laugh and make a mental note to write off their opinion on ~everything going forward.

Just an awesome move by the Cavs.
100% it's a big boost on offense
Can he guard a golden state warrior?
Yep, most overrated player ever, but I did enjoy watching his skillset, and I watched the final 3 minutes of his career at least 5 times it was one of the most amazing and unlikely things I've ever seen in sports.
Harden has been the number one option for most of the season, and the Rockets are below .500. I don't see how Harden is so much better a primary weapon than Lin would be. Lin is a better passer and makes his teammates better better than Harden does. Harden should fit with Lin, not the other way around.
This korver trade, just wow, seems a bit cheap but I understand why hawks wouldn't want to sit on the contract if they won't get another chance at a first for him
Kind of hard for the suns to make a good trade, they are stacked with average or young players at every position
that trade seems terrible, they lose their only + PG, Ullis will get playing time that's a good thing, but then How do you play Nurkic with Chandler, Len and Bender, Chriss?
I'd keep Bledsoe, Booker and Bender, and try to find a deal to swap multiple assets for a good one, and not the other way
Considering how far from competing they are, bench depth is totally useless for them, they need a good core of a few good/future good players and find the right pieces to complete it in a year or 2
Korver trade is meh honestly. It sounded like Atlanta just wanted a 1st round pick and called up all contenders and Cavs were first to bite. I honestly don't think it's that great of a trade.
PS: Cavs want a backup PG? We got this guy named Delly...
