Guarding LeBron isn't hard. I could do it.

Stopping him is the hard part.

I wonder how far Draymond could take a team if he were the best player... oh I guess we saw that this year.

About as far as Booker and Ayton took us last year.

Barkley isn't wrong. Put Dray on Orlando or Charlotte and see how effective he is or how many people want to hear what he has to say. And then Dray throws the "Talk to me when you got rings" comeback at Chuck like he's Shaq. FOH.

I think it’s fair to say that if Chuck had ever been on a team on which he was the fourth best player, he’d have rings.

Agreed. He does have a Gold medal and even on that Dream Team, he was considered the 2nd best player, iirc.

That team had an average victory margin over 50. When Dray pulls that off, he gets to talk to Chuck.

Draymond has taken a big step back in the last few years, but at his peak he was severely underrated.

Still not close to the caliber of player Barkley was, though. The Ringzz conversation is dumb.

He was arguably the best. He was MVP of the league that NBA Season.

Led the team in scoring (18.0) and fg% (.711). Second in scoring was Jordan (14.9 on .451). Second in fg% was Malone (13.0 on .645).

Remarkably for a guy who shot .711, he was also 3rd on the team in 3pm (behind Mullin and Bird). Also 3rd in rebounding (Ewing, Malone).

And 1st on the team in elbowing skinny Angolans.

I’m not sure he’s there yet. He always showed flashes with us. We’re just not watching to see all the bad stuff he’s doing. His shooting percentages still aren’t great. He’s at 42/30/68. He was like 41/32/66 with us last year. He’s traded in his long 2’s for 3’s and even at that low percentage, it’s bumped his TS% up because he was so poor on 2’s. The off court stuff is always going to be the big thing with him.
