There’s longevity and then there’s Brongevity

Said something to this effect in a Kobe thread. Kobe and Duncan making 15 all NBAs each is extremely impressive longevity, and absolutely matters in regard to where they both stand in the all-time rankings. But Bron blowing past that and STILL going completely fucked up how we view those guys, because no one really even talks about their longevity, because IDK if folks even consider them as longevity guys anymore

Anytime Luka or AR go down it’s likely. Even if one of them goes down he has to take on much more offensively.

He might have 9 40 point games left in the tank, let alone 30 point games.

When Cooper Flagg became the youngest to score 40, a guy on YT did a video gloating about how Flagg was erasing all of Bron’s “youngest” records so Bron’s gonna be relegated to irrelevance bc all his fans like to talk about are his records. I’m listening to this thinking, well he’s probably gonna set another “oldest” record for every “youngest” record he loses.

If someone actually did come along and break most of LeBron’s longevity records…that doesn’t discredit Bron, right? I’d hope even the biggest Bron fan would spend more time celebrating the new guy and appreciating that we were able to witness his career, rather than hating on him because he must have played in an easier era or whatever.

People are celebrating Cooper and rightfully so. Its only MJ stans/Bron haters that weirdly make it about Bron to turn it into a dig. Yet those same people are the first ones to complain about how defense isnt played and scoring is inflated.

the funniest thing about this, is that he’s been in the league so long that every “generational” prospect that comes in he’s compared to them, but they gotta last to hold to the standards the media,coaches and fans knighted them with.

I’m seeing lots of LeBron queens hating on Cooper Flagg bc it shows that LeBron was special early on - but not that special.

But couple that with the longevity and that is special.

Yeah that LeBron guy was a real run of the mill scrub at the start of his career

He was special

But when LeBron fans then take that same energy and then say Cooper Flagg is not special, I mean…

How does that make sense?

Take your time, you will find daily evidence of Cooper Flagg hate whenever he breaks a LeBron record or is on track to.

LeBron fans have always been this way.

I think this is one reason why just purely looking at stats is flawed, just looking at 18 year old Bron play against Flagg is a night and day difference

rocket_beer | Celtics

I dunno 🤷‍♂️

Coop is Coop and Bron is Bron.

Judge them the same or different. Makes no difference to me.

Just don’t cut down Coop just for being solid.

LeBron fans always are like that.

See in 25 years when Cooper takes all the oldest records too /s

rocket_beer | Celtics

I don’t know about that.

Not interested in if he breaks those records.

Cooper is just being Cooper. This is what makes LeBron fans so irritating.

Been dealing with them for 2 decades now.

The interesting thing about that Dirk game—his last nba game—is that Jamal Crawford also became the oldest player to score fifty in the same game.
