LeBron being voted as the best player on team USA by his peers is pretty crazy. He’s pushing 40 years old and the best players on the planet still think he’s the best of the best. Looking forward to seeing them start playing other teams this week. Anthony Edwards on the floor with Stephen Curry might be something special.
They did it out of respect. At least that's what I see that's why they voted him. I mean who in the USA team has as many achievements as Lebron has right now? There's no that comes close, not even Steph Curry or Durant. I see Lebron as one of the best NBA players ever played despite the controversies and his abuse in his power, but this USA team is just very dangerous in the Paris Olympics, aren't they?Knicks are being overestimated without a doubt. They are in discussion with being similar to Celtics? Give me a break, not even a single player in Knicks could be considered good enough to be in Celtics, that's not the case at all.
We should consider the fact that Knicks are not doing that well and we will not see them do any better or greater, we are going to see them be a playoff level team and that's it nothing more. That should be the level they are stuck at now because they gave away their picks as well. Do not overestimate them, do not expect a finals from them, it requires a huge miracle for that group of players to be there, the skill level and the talent they have is nowhere to be close to what other teams have.
The Knicks are better with their current line up, but I should say that they are nowhere near the Celtics. The Celtics are still the kings of the East. Whoever said that the Knicks are as equal as the Celtics in terms of talent might be a bit bias and probably a Knicks fan.

Anyway, I don't like how Thibs played his players during the playoffs. Hart, DiVincenzo and Brunson played more than 40+ minutes in most of their playoff games and there are times where Hart played every second of the game. That's not sustainable for a player in the long run. The Knicks doesn't have any reliable center since they gave away Hartenstein to the Thunder. They need a big that will help them defend the paint. The Celtics proved already that they are the Kings of the East because they won. Knicks? They even lost to the young Pacers team last playoffs. It's nowhere near.
