Almost everyone in the league does it & there are much worse offenders, but none of them are as good at the sport as LeBron, and he's got one of the larger egos in the league, so he gets more flack for it that others
I should amend my statement to say "none of them *were* as good at the sport" because father time has certainly caught up. When LeBron is on, he's still incredible, but... man... the list of regular starters at age 40+ is very low...
lol, Puli saw a chance for a fast break and took it, but the only player who stayed with him in support (Nkunku) was offside the entire play. Puli was forced to go it alone and couldn't quite beat his defender. Insanely bad game sense from Nkunku!
Final 2-3. Milan top of the table. Pulisic is on FIRE. Keep this up and he'll be in the conversations for Serie A MVP for sure.
Oh yes, no critique to Puli! I actually thought he might have an argument for a PK until I saw the slow-mo replay. Inch perfect tackle. Nkunku had the right idea, but was never on-side. If he had just held his run a step-or-two to let Puli get in front of him, he would've had a tap-in...
I would just like ask if I'm the only guy so old that whenever I see Nkunku's name written out I think of a 3 Stooges bit... Other than that, lovely bit of "this is how it's done" by the young fella from Lancaster.
what an insane period on the pitch for him .... could not write the script any more impactfully. wow.
Hershey ... not Lancaster ... as in Dauphin County .... not Lancaster County ... let's be precise here.
indeed. Tough to eliminate everyone with numbers like "1 game 1 goal" from the historic Transfermarkt stats, but if you remove anyone with fewer than 15 apps, he's sitting around the top-50 for the "games per goal" metric. He's got George Weah (58 goals in 147 apps) within striking distance.
He's actually surpassed Seedorf, but that's only because Seedorf made over four hundred appearances for the club. 62 goals is a lot, but not when you play 432 matches! But Puli will never catch Nordahl... that machine had a strike rate of 0.82 goals per match over 262 matches
If they get a Scudetto with him in that form, he may be in the Milan "Legend" conversation, but we are not there yet. I know, I know, settle down
