2025 NBA Season

[Maslate]

Lebron is already popular, he will be GOAT someday just like MJ and Kobe, not sure who among the active NBA players now will  also be GOAT someday and  will enjoy that kind of market value, I think Leonard has to shut Lebron's team this season for him to gain some spot in the future.

Holy crap!

LeBron James set another record Saturday night when his 2003-04 Upper Deck rookie card sold for $1.845 million at Goldin Auctions.

How about that?! We are in pandemic and he is still alive.  
Lebron's autographs price is going to be expensive in 20 more years.
How about his rookie shoes? Where are they? Gotta find it!

It's the most expensive basketball card ever purchased and the priciest trading card of any kind in the modern era (since 1980).

Woah that card worth really great. Who had brought it BTW? It seems money is not an issue for them and probably brought this card. Anyway, Lebron also is a generous guy so there could be no problem on him earning lot of money because for sure some of it will go to charity. This has been observe already and he help a lot of people that even includes in education which is very vital to every individual.

[boyptc]

it is startin soon look for upsets and wins from small teams

Yes, it is about to start.

But, I say that don't treat any team as a 'small team'. Each of them have greatness although some may be treated as underdogs. I treat all of them to be big teams despite the roster, with or without superstars and young talents.

True,. though we can always say that there's underdog and their are favorites that each fans wanted to support
super teams that have more than 2 superstars who dedicating the league.  But always never forget that dedications
and good team chemistry makes that underdog to win against the heavy favorite.

Just don't belittle any team and give them the credits for being in the league. Although we can't deny that sometimes we have that first reaction that if our favorite team which is known to be strong against a team that has a bad record for the current season.

We will count it already as an instant but based from my experience, surprises happen.

I don't think Lebron is the card owner.
It may be a different one. Someone which is keen to buying collectibles.

According to Darren Rovell of Action Network, the winning bidder was Leore Avidar, the CEO and co-founder of Lob.com, a San Francisco-based company which automates direct mail for businesses.

Winner is @LeoreAvidar, who says purchase is part of strategy to “bring something big to the collectibles and alternative asset business in the coming months.” pic.twitter.com/rN9lepvVpE

From the same website.
It was never said who the owner is before being sold.

Truth, he is popular, no doubt about that.
Kawhi? Yeah, a lot of analyst are still looking for that reason for him to be called as one of the GOAT's.
He needs 1 more win to prove it and this must be the time.

He has already proven that he can beat Lebron when he gets his first championship and his first Finals MVP, I guess fans still wants to rematch and they might not face in the NBA finals since they are in the West but a WFC between the two would be great to witness.

Many would love to see that since they have a quite interesting match up but the question is those the team where he belongs can climb to finals? I think no their rooster is not so deep compare to the other team and provably they will be eliminated on the playoffs, But I don't disclose this things but let just watch the game if it resume if kawhi can still able to left up the clippers to the finals.

What??? Is their interest with a mere card worth something like that? I mean, they could've spend that huge amount of money with something more valuable, isn't it? Or maybe, perhaps these rich folks doesn't know where to spend their money anymore  .

Now I'm getting into interest collecting Luka's card, now that it can be bought around a hundred to hundred and twenty bucks on Amazon. Who knows he might be as worth as Bron's later on, that's a huge deal LOL.

Kawhi? Yeah, a lot of analyst are still looking for that reason for him to be called as one of the GOAT's.

Gonna be tough for him, now that there are bunch of promising players. But I'm sure he can, he got his own skills he just need to be paired with a decent roster.

Talking about GOAT, correct me If im wrong I guess GOAT and All Time Greats/hall of famers are different because there must be only 1 greatest of all time.
The GOAT title was tagged by many fans to MJ.
These names you have mentioned are future hall of famers, but the closest person next to MJ in the GOAT debate is Kobe and LeBron. With LeBron as the closest since Kobe's style of game are very similar with MJ's.

Rich people are really crazy, they're willing to spend millions of dollars for a completely unnecessary thing just for the sake of collection lol. However, it's a card from one of the greatest to every play in the NBA anyway, and they have money.

you are right, MJ is still the GOAT in basketball but we never know one day he will be surpass by someone who is still active in the league now.
Probably Leonard? yes, but I think the chance is very low as Leonard does not start his basketball career like a star or he doesn't have a kind of hype that will market the NBA to the people, it's not in his characteristics, in fact, I read some report that he does not talk too much with his teammates when he is playing but he always follow the game plan. To be a GOAT, I think one should also be vocal.

That's what money can do, it gives you happiness, so you need to spend it even if in the eyes of other people you are just wasting money.

That's really a huge amount of money since the world is experiencing this pandemic virus. Though collectors are
collectors there's a strong believe that this card will be more expensives after  some years, else, he's just a billionaire
 who idolize LeBron that much that's why he bought this card to add from his collections.

This is a hint guys. I'm just watching random vids over internet and watched someone who talks about NBA cards to be a great investment. I think this is also a good investment overtime. Yes, LBJ is still alive yet his sign and cards went up that much. Is this NBA card industry is also a bubble or it's actually a decent industry where we see stability? I'm thinking of getting one or starting my own deck. The mystery is that what will be the price of that $1.8M card after 5 years or more.

I read it too.
But it happened only after the bidding happened.
There is still no assurance being a card collector.
Well, if you can buy it at a cheap price then maybe it will be good.

But I don't think that will happen anymore because of this event.

Kawhi? Yeah, a lot of analyst are still looking for that reason for him to be called as one of the GOAT's.

Gonna be tough for him, now that there are bunch of promising players. But I'm sure he can, he got his own skills he just need to be paired with a decent roster.

I can say it adds more pressure.
Well, that is if Kawhi do know the word "pressure".
Looking at his facial expression, I doubt that.

Lol. I'm sure he feels it too but he just doesn't show it. It's another part of him that's makes him even more dangerous. He's so focused and doesn't usually get his emotion get the better of him during games. Men, I'm getting flashbacks of last season's game against the sixers when the ball bounced its way to the net.

Anyway, he's shown that he can lead a team and that he can be a good support when he was with Raptors. He doesn't try to outshine his teammates when they are having a good game but he also knows when to step up.

The record he sets about this rookie card is insane that would make one of the reasons to be the Goat after he retires. But still there are some few rooms left for Lebron to improve his records because he still got some few years to play. I hope we can see him play until he is 40 years old. where most of the NBA players concluded their careers.

It's still too early to think of the next goat but I guess many will agree to me if I say that Giannis could reach a certain high for his career. He's still young and there's more to improve and experience to gain.

For sure it will be part of those publicity that will be credited for him being the next GOAT.

If  he continue to stay being healthy, there are still lots for his own records, achievements can be added under his legacy.

I hope we can see him play until he is 40 years old. where most of the NBA players concluded their careers.

Playing still at this stage and still have the same intensity or still have the same passions with agilities to convert. It's really remarkable once done.

He can, I have no doubts about his potential. However, he need to make sure to avoid injuries that would ruined most of his career or worse his entire journey. You know... maintaining a healthy, and robust body (like what Bron did) is just as important as chasing after the ring, records, fame, and whatnot.

I cannot say that it is not likely to happen 'cause he got a pretty healthy, and well-built body. With his maintenance, he might even be able to play long enough to catch up with his eldest son.

Its per era as I think of it.
Jordan then Kobe then Lebron was the last and continuing.
They are all great at their own time where they are dominating and their names are over the roof.
So for the next one it could really be Kawhi.
Giannis is still in his young career while Kawhi is making his way as a prime.

But they want Kawhi to prove something which makes it more difficult for others to accept his greatness.

For the most part I do not recommend people to buy sports memorabilia since the prices change very rapidly, however in the case of LeBron it is obvious his stuff is going to keep being valuable during the next decades so if you can get some of his stuff for a good price and then hold it for a decade then you can earn good money, in a way this is similar to what we are already doing with bitcoin so it should not be weird for anyone on the forum to try to make money this way.

I have nothing against Kawhi, he has proven to be a candidate for the next era's goat after Lebron maybe. Maybe that could be Lebron, Kawhi, and then Giannis. But I'm sure that if the other two great players start getting old, we have Giannis to count in.

Yes, one injury can ruin his entire career and potential.
