I remember meeting him in Austin for the LSU/Texas game back in 2019.

Met him the year before at Lustre Pearl after the USC Texas game. Him and Stanford Steve were watching their guy Herm Edwards lose to San Diego State after starting 2-0 at ASU. I remember Stanford Steve was talking up UW after the Auburn loss and saying they would run the table the rest of the year. I said Oregon would beat them for sure and he looked at me like I was crazy. :lol:

11-1

I always wanted a 2007/2008 era conference alignment with the OG Champions League style playoff.

You dont win your conference, you're not in it.

Racking up regular season stats isn’t the goal.

In 06 he averaged 30 ppg in the playoffs on 47.6% shooting.

07 Finals - You mean after he scored 25 in a row and dropped 48 in G5 in Detroit? The 07 Finals was one series where San Antonio got away with sending 4 defenders at a 22 year old LeBron every time cause the rest of the team was terrible, and he hadn't developed a consistent jumper yet. The NBA didn't change the rules based off that one series lol.

Btw the next year LeBron was incredible against that 08 Celtics super team and dropped 45 on that defense in a G7 loss. Pushed them further than any other team.

He never needed a rule change to help him score the basketball. He's played in an era of zone defense, Jordan didn't. Bron also isnt a FT merchant, he gets buckets.

We got the presale for the field - dont remember how much it was, think it was $150.

Dude, freedom of movement rules have been being implemented up until 2018.

Not to help LeBron, which you argued the rule change was for. He averaged 31.4 ppg in 06. He didn't need any help to score.

I literally gave you evidence on when freedom of movement was implemented and why.

Those freedom of movement rules were not put in for LeBron. That was put in in 2004-2005, which was after LeBron's rookie season when he averaged 20 ppg as a 19 year old.

They were put in because of the Pistons, who were winning playoff games with total scores in the 60s.

eta - 01 to 04 was the only time the NBA had both Zone and Hand checking.

What rule was changed for MJ? Bringing in the 3pt line closer so he could make more 3s? lol. The league finally implemented zone defense right after he retired.

What rule was changed for LeBron?
