LeBron on 2016 warriors: "Most healthy team I've ever seen in NBA history"

[Day1086]

Backhanded compliment passive aggression from LeBron




Warriors to miss games so far:

Klay (back)
Barbosa (illness)
Livingston (hip)
Bogut (concussion)

(Kerr missing every game obviously)



Yeah the warriors are healthy and the Cavs are missing Kyrie right now which is a larger injury than any of the warriors, but lol @ his need to subtly include a qualifier

LeBron knows what's in his future, he knows if they meet gsw again they will lose again

no more rings for mr. lebrony

[mk8]

he's right

[cashinout]

well this is the actual quote

"I think it comes with a lot of health," James said when asked about the Warriors tying the all-time mark for best start to a season at 15-0. "They've been healthy. They've been the most healthy team I've ever seen in NBA history, and they have great talent. Those guys all play for one common goal and that's to win, and that's all that matters."

[ImJJames]

Lebron teammates getting injured every season trying to carry his ass to another ring.

[Day1086]

he's right

He's right that they've been mostly healthy


But there's several teams in the NBA right now healthier than the warriors. He went to some srs hyperbole in bitterness

[sdballer5588]

Creates thread about perceived passive slight. Claims others are bitter.

[broboma2012]

I don't really see the cavs being healthy in the playoffs. Setting up the excuses early I guess

[Twerk4it]

How can you handpick a team full of injury prone players and then complain about injuries?

[Thai_Clinch]

Lebron: talked about more on espn and the misc than anything alive, ever. outside of *******s, which what most of you are.

Where lebron is salty is the fact that warriors are 15-0 that means the season just started and 97% of nba teams are healthy 15 games into the season. So his most healthy team ever makes no sense

So his slighted compliment is completely full of salt.

He's so butthurt

Gets asked question, answers honestly and factually.

This combined with the fact that the warriors actually have had significant player injuries and have done it all without their head coach make his statement of "most healthy in NBA history' completely retarded


Note: The question asked was specifically about the 15-0 start, not the 2014-15 season

[wickedman]

I think as far as "in NBA history" (which is hyperbole to some extent... but no one tracks the health of ****ty teams), he is including all of last year, the core guys on the team have never gone down for extended periods of time since they established this nucleus.

I can't anecdotally remember a contender being so consistently healthy as the Warriors have been. They have one VERY injury prone player who really has not missed a stretch greater than 12 games in almost 3 years now in Andrew Bogut. He was a huge reason they lost to the Clippers in 2013.

Just going back a few years

2015 - Warriors very healthy, Bogut missed a small stretch
2014 - Spurs had a ragtag lineup for the majority of the season
2013 - Heat had Wade's corpse
2012 - Heat had Wade's corpse and Miller's corpse
2011 - Mavs were banged up throughout the season shifting their lineup to reflect changes

Generally though, the champions are always healthy in the playoffs. Wade may be the exception here, as well as Parker who was battling through a hamstring.

The warriors were fuked by curry, lee, and bogut injuries in the 2013 playoffs and all 3 of their centers (bogut, Ezeli, oneal) were injured against possibly the best front court in the NBA in 2014 playoffs.

They stayed healthy for 2015. Many teams have been healthy in a playoff run in NBA history

But again the question asked was "how impressive is the warriors 15-0 start?" And his instant response was 3 sentences about health including the hyperbole of "most healthy of all time" for a team that in 15 games has already had 4 players miss games with injury and their head coach missed every game

Dude is bitter

At least I'm not a fat manlet. I could live in an actual dumpster and still have a higher quality of life.

[BJohnny1988]

lol at 97%
Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant alone should put that figure to rest.

Just lol, whatever you need to justify your chit life in Assachusetts, brah. like your city, youre ass. we are all proud of you here.

There's probably some salt involved. But 13-14 had Mark Jackson + the 6th seed, even if they were all 100% I'm not sure they were at contender status. Granted you've been following them for awhile now; you'd have a much better recollection than myself (I forgot O'Neal was even on the team).

[MurkinSeason]

Warriors are one Curry injury away from being a .500 basketball team.

[Dave P]

I think if you take Curry off the team, the Warriors are still a top-10 team in the league.

of course he is going to be salty. His team is underachieving, he is underachieving. the injuries are a part of it. just an impromptu response from a clearly frustrated player. he gave credit where it was due. they are playing great basketball and curry has emerged as a complete and absolute star.

i doubt he cares considering he was on a team that won 27 in a row

[Thai_Clinch]

curry is the heartbeat but i agree. they are a solid structured ball team that has that one big star. as mentioned above, one injury away....but that goes for any big named team that has been successful.
