NBA Playoffs

Pippen was a product of MJ,without him he was barely above average.

I can see you never played a lick of basketball. MJ said Pippen made him what he was. Basically steel sharpened steel. Since MJ was in the league first of course he gave Pip some pointers but like I said from his own mouth Pippen made him better.

Fool....I know more about the NBA then you'll ever know.

I doubt that. Maybe you know more about the granny shot free throw era but that's it. Lol. Did you see snoop dog on Jimmy Kimmel commentating an old basketball game with one black guy on the court. Snoop was hilarious

Is there any chance lebron leaves Cleveland now?

LeBron has done what he set out to do: bring a championship home. He loves Ohio and it will take something catastrophic to make him leave again; especially now. LeBron will likely retire as a Cavalier and then become a head coach for the franchise. That is if he doesn't become governor in the interim. heh heh heh!

I heard he wants to play with all these other great players. Maybe he can get them to come to Cleveland now.

That is a novel idea, but which worthy player is in free agency right now? And what about salary caps? would anyone of them take a cut like LeBron did when he went to Miami?

Bottom line is lebron has accomplished as much or more than Jordan did at age 31. Lebron also has 2 championships as an underdog which Jordan NEVER did. Jordan never won until he had an all star cast around him

I kind of made fun of Tom Brady Kobe and Payton Manning too for winning early then not winning for so many years after that but Payton and Manning won late and Kobe was able to win again with Gasol. Lebron winning somewhere other than Miami proves he's the man.

How many players have won on multiple teams? Dennis rodman, shaq, the list can't be long. Im talking about being a starter.

I think lebron endorsement deals just went up. He could make room for Kevin Durant.

Durant is good but too prone to injury. The Cavs need durability as well as skill! We don't want a repeat of last year.

And kyrie is only Scottie pippen in the sense that he's a team's 2nd best player. Otherwise they're not even remotely the same

I'd take Pippen any day over Kyrie.

I wouldn't. Not in today's NBA

Why not? Pippen was one of the best defenders of all time.

whats that worth these days? Hardly any of the great players these days play defense

Two-way-players may be a rare commodity, but that doesn't mean they aren't a valuble one.

you know I thought the warriors moving to SF in a couple years from now was a done deal but after listenting to these two videos I dont see how it CAN happen? anyone? thoughts?

One of the leading San Francisco transit advocacy groups can join opponents of proposed Golden State Warriors Arena as a Plaintiff in the litigation to keep the arena out of Mission Bay, according to a ruling by San Francisco Superior Court Judge Garrett Wong.

Judge Wong ruled Thursday that SaveMuni, a dedicated association of transit activists, environmentalists and neighborhood leaders, will be allowed to legally join the fight against the Golden State Warriors.

The lawsuit against the Warriors proposed arena, which goes to trial this Friday, June 17 at 9:30 a.m. in Department 503, argues that San Francisco city officials violated the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and other laws by not properly considering alternative locations for the arena and by failing to adequately address the project’s environmental impacts, such as traffic, air quality, and noise. It also argues that the City of San Francisco broke its own development rules and limits under Proposition “M.”

No? Jordan was never a Washington wizard?

Thats why there are not that many potential GOAT players.in the league now. Most players are specialists. I can only think of a handful that even play both ways let alone are at superstar level on the defensive side of the ball. Klay, Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, CP3, Westbrook, are the only ones that come to mind. How many players in the league are superstar level on defense and can also get you 20 plus? Lebron can go into lock down mode when he wants to. I'll never forget how he locked down Rose in the playoffs that time.

 

[Asclepias]

LeBron MUST now be considered one of the best BB players of all time. Single-handedly took a pretty good team to the NBA championship. There is no way to say who is #1, but LeBron is definitely in a tiny, tiny group...MJ, Wilt, Bill Russell, Oscar Robertson, Shaq, Bird & Magic...the list is so short.

I considered him a GOAT after his first ring. Just the fact he took that first scrub Cavs team to the Finals and averaged all those points in the playoffs when he was the only threat let me know I was looking at an all time great.

 

[Asclepias]

Well last night sucked. Curry was terrible and I think the play by play broadcasters were tentative to say so. Air balls on wide open looks?
Kyrie Irving was amazing the last two games. He willed the Cavs to victory.

It's funny what's considered a wide open look for steph curry lol. Those were definitely not wide open looks for about 99.9% of the league. Flat out, curry choked. He choked last year too that's why a bench player won the MVP

Who was MVP last year?

Iggy was the MVP last year.

You must have forgotten he went to play baseball.

This year is one that will be immortalized in the annals of NBA basketball. So many historic "firsts."

But for me, the thrill of a lifetime was to see that "no team has ever come back to win a title after being down 3-1," be stricken. I hated that cliche.`
But , let's be real… No one, including me, would have bet on the Cavaliers finally beating those odds; especially having to beat the seemingly invincible Warriors twice on their home court. A neon sign kept going off in my head that read : 73 games vs 9 losses. in the regular season. That 3-1 deficit seemed insurmountable and I thought the Cavaliers were just going to go through the motions while GS would showboat and dance to victory. I was wrong!

LeBron's performance was legendary but Irving stood up and said, I AM SOMEBODY TOO! YEAH I AM A BAAAAD WHITE BOY!

Hell yeah, Black don't come from Victoria or any place other than subsaharan Africa or America.. Didn't you know that?

Ya know, I don't think LeBron will be considered Black now that he has brought Cleveland a championship. He is now an HONORARY White guy. Even the cops love him there.

 

[JQPublic1]

Well, i am out of here. I just thought I'd bring a little spark here in the aftermath of the BIG win by the CAVs. .. just funning….

Dude these last 2 NBA finals lebron arguably played some of the best basketball in the history of the sport. At his oldest age, and at the latest possible point in the season where bodies are worn down, lebron James was a god. He led all players on both teams combined in basically every recorded stat that matters. There's no one else in the history of the sport that has done more for a team than this guy is capable of doing. Michael Jordan is definitely the greatest SCORER ever, but if I'm building an all time team I'm starting with lebron James hands down

 

[Papageorgio]

I'll take MJ over Lebron, however Lebron is best post MJ. Jordan was a great scorer but he could lockdown his opponents. All around no question JORDAN was the best.

 

[Paulie]

Jordan couldn't do jack shit until he had a supporting cast. Lebron James on his own automatically makes any team he goes to whatsoever a conference champion contender and more.
