On a recent appearance on Posted Up with Chris Haynes, NBA Hall of Famer Julius Erving was asked to put together his all-time NBA first and second team. This dun wasted no time jumping out of the birthday cake stripping butt naked foamin’ at the mouth talking crazy.
Dr. J, that has two fully functioning eyes and his old enough to have seen everybody play in the NBA that has ever laced up a pair, was asked to name his All-Time NBA first and second team. Ole boy, with a straight face said Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, and Elgin Baylor as his first team, and Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Karl Malone, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to the second team.
Then out of another straight face he said he didn’t put LeBron on either team because “He’s the guy who has led the charge in terms of super teams. So he can pick his own team.” Again, he said it with a straight face.
Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! Dr. J is a Hall of Famer and one of my favorite players of all-time. He was the first cat to come out with a leather sneaker when I was in the 7th grade in 1979. So he’s my man 100 grand but he in my Murphy Lee voice, “Sounds like a hater mane!”
First of all, he’s got Magic and Jordan on his second team not the first even before we dive into LeBron foolishness. Jordan and Magic behind the Big O and Jerry West? We can make a slight argument for the Big O but Jerry West over either of them? O and West were both point guards for y’all that’s checking. This wasn’t done by position because he’s got multiple centers and point guards on the starting five. So miss me with the positions argument. Chris should have cut the camera off right there. Julius is delusional.
So now you’re telling functional human beings that there are essentially 10 players better than LeBron and two small forwards outright better than him. Not only is he a small forward but he can play all over the court. He’s 3rd in scoring, 8th in assists and 14th in steals but he doesn’t make the first or second team? Again, Julius is the old man that just talking crazy to be talking crazy.
Super teams have existed since the beginning of time bruh. The Celtics were the first Super Team! Bill Russell won 11 championships with a combination of all-time greats. He had Sam Jones, Bob Cousy and John Havlicek just off of the top of my head.
Dr. J himself didn’t win a title until Moses Malone joined him in Philly. How he got there is irrelevant. He got there with Dr. J’s blessing. The Show Time Lakers were a Super Team with Magic, Kareem and Worthy. The Celtics with Bird, McHale and Parrish were a Super Team!!! Boston drafted Bird and acquired both Parrish and McHale to put that team together.
We all saw what I’ve been saying for years on “The Last Dance” how everybody was over at Jerry Krouse’s crib including Pippen and Jordan trying to talk Dennis Rodman into joining the Bulls after they had already won three straight titles. You’re going to tell me that wasn’t a Super Team! Stop with this foolishness!!!!
We saw it again with San Antonio with David Robinson and Tim Duncan not to mention Tony Parker and others. That was a Super Team!!!
Boyz be kill me talking about LeBron putting together Super Teams in Miami, Cleveland and Los Angeles. He went to Miami to play with D Wade who was shell of himself when LeBron got there. LeBron resurrected Wade’s career. His knees were shot. And will somebody please tell me what all-time great team Chris Bosh is ever going to be named to.
And is Kevin Love even still in the league? LeBron went to a dumpster fire in Cleveland and put them on his back to go to four straight Finals. They were the worst team in the league with Kyrie running the show. Did I mention that LeBron won a title with both JR Smith and Iman Shumpert who were traded in December of 2015 from New York for a single second round pick in 2019. Did that pick even make an NBA roster that year?
He won a title with Matthew Dellavedova!!! That dun is probably the store manager at Walmart in Cincinnati right now. Give me a break!!!
He won in LA with scraps outside of Anthony Davis. They put that roster together over night. Now those same cats are on other teams and they’re back to being irrelevant.
Anthony Davis, with that roster, should be winning games right now without LeBron but he isn’t. Why? If LeBron were playing without AD he’d be expected to win even at darn near 147 years old. The hate out here is real bruh….
Just because a boy played in the NBA and is a Hall of Famer doesn’t mean that when he opens his mouth he can’t be hating and talking crazy. We’ve seen Paul Pierce do it on ESPN for years. Stop with this foolishness. Where is Murphy Lee when you need him.
