By the way I don't know how the hell this turned into a discussion about LeBron :pachaha:

You were the first one to make it about Lebron. No one had been talking about him at all when you and the other hater suddenly pulled out this bs on the third page:


Bron is a pretender, fake azz stat padding GOAT :scust: Not to mention he's the originator of this bandwagon fairweather fan bullsh*t :scust:

:dead::dead::dead:

Not that you hadn't clearly been trying to get people to talk about him over and over without saying his name before that. It had been 3 pages without anyone taking the bait before you finally snapped.


Isaiah Thomas out there lookin' like he's a 4 year old playin' ball against his daddy and sh*t
I'm sitting there watching as they run awkward screens for a midget who tries to 6'8" All NBA defensive player to the rim
Each team should only be allowed to have one max player. I'm literally watching a game where Deron Williams is coming off the bench for Kyrie Irving, the bandwagon sh*t is disgusting :scust:
Now we got all stars coming off the bench for other all stars because everybody wants the easy path to a ring :scust:
When your bench players could start for half the NBA teams that says a lot.


:sadbron:

Lebron done been on your mind the whole thread. :lolbron:

Ginobili was never a max player, neither is Klay, and to keep it 100 I'm not so sure Draymond and Ibaka are truly max players, I'm not building a team with those two as my foundation.

First off, a team built around Bosh wasn't doing anything either. And you're ignoring the coach. Pop+Parker+Ginobli is more likely to win a title alongside a star than Spolstra+Wade+Bosh if the Spurs organization is building the team.

Second of all, Draymond and Ibaka were one of FOUR stars on their team at one point. You have teams building around Durant, Westbrook, AND Harden, then Ibaka was the icing on the cake. Teams building around Durant and Curry AND you have the best shooter in the NBA and you have this year's DPOY and you have the guy who won Finals MVP two years ago and you have last year's COY. That's six major pieces, of which Draymond is only one.

You're literally comparing a team that had 4 guys who made all-NBA last year AND the best 6th-man in the league, or a team that had 3 future MVP candidates and a DPOY candidate in the same year, to a team that had 2 MVP candidates and a decent all-star who was a couple steps below even 3rd-team All-NBA.

And acting like a basketball team is built by counting to three is just wrong. The 4th player matters a lot. The 5th player matters a lot. The bench matters a lot. The coaching matters a lot. It's this idiot double-standard where a "super team" is graded by the top three players and nothing but the top three and how shytty the #4 is or the bench is doesn't matter at all...of course, until Lebron trades for a bench asset, and then they're the greatest unfair advantage in the history of basketball.



Magic never tried to team up with Bird

No, Magic explicitly teamed up with Kareem, at that time the all-time GOAT of the NBA. That was the worst example you could have tried to use.




Jordan never tried to team up with Olajuwon and Barkley

What a weird pick, because Olajuwon AND Barkley AND Drexler teamed up together. But why would Jordan have done that when he already had the GOAT coach and the GOAT sidekick and a well-rounded cast....where the hell was a better situation? Then he added a HOF, 1st-team All-Defensive power foward on top of that to do the dirty work, and two of the best shooters in the NBA coming off the bench. By the 2nd run there were four Hall of Famers on that team at the same time...how stupid would Jordan have been to leave?




Kobe never tried to team up with the Spurs or Kings

He started out as a sidekick to the most dominant player in the sport and then got the (at the time) top coach in the sport...where was he going to go? Why would he go to the Kings when he was BEATING the Kings? You think Kobe an idiot? He did help the Lakers beg to get Malone and Payton the second that he and Shaq got beat by a Spurs team whose only star was Duncan.

Later on he DID threaten to leave if he didn't get help, and the Lakers tried to get CP3 when when was at MVP-level, then built the most dominant front court in basketball at the time (Gasol-Bynum-Odom and then Artest and Ariza) AND brought back an experienced point guard and HOF coach to lead them. What the hell was the better situation that was available to him? It's not like the Spurs had cap room. Then later he threw in Dwight at Nash for good measure (players that they'd been trying to get for years before that when they were closer to their primes too).



Act like the Pierce, Allen, and KG roster was full of Kendrick Perkins brehs

Act like LeBron didn't fire off on the Detroit Pistons brehs

Act like Pierce, Garnett and Allen didn't collude because they weren't tired of being one man armies brehs

Be mad LeBron did something you could never do with your own life brehs

Be mad about a dude you dont know being able to choose his own destiny 7 years ago and still hold a grudge against him while your last 7 years have been spent talking about the move another man made and you can barely provide supper brehs

Act like teams in the West aint gettin blown out brehs

Act like that graphic of 15 of 17 playoffs games being decided by double figures was all in the East brehs

Act like Warriors/Utah or Portland was entertaining brehs

He mad. :lolbron:

Anyone acting like the east isnt weak is intellectually dishonest. Probably like 6 out of the top 20 players in the NBA are in the east. 2 of which play on the same team. fukk the records. The NBA is a star driven league

Y'all basically saying "the west sucks too " aren't really helping things :gucci:

The point is that bron and KD have destroyed any competitive balance in a league that already struggles with it:hubie:

Or maybe lebron is just so much better than everybody else? Put him on any team in the east and you get the same results.

LOL all were legit title contenders dumbazz, that's why the West was so tough, you had teams who would have won the championship if they were able to get to the Finals. Real talk if it wasn't for the Lakers, Spurs might have 10 championships, Mavs, Rockets, and Kings would all have an extra ship. That Western Conference was RIDICULOUSLY competitive, ala the 90s Eastern Conference and the 80s NBA as a whole.
All that would and could shyt in hindsight don't mean shyt
Half those teams only had like a 2-3 year window meanwhile the top three were always in the finals

Only five west teams have been to the finals since 2000. Lakers spurs mavericks warriors thunder
8 different teams made it out the east
Celtics pacers heat sixers Pistons cavs magic nets

When Kobe played you had the:

Kings
Mavs
Spurs
Blazers
Rockets


^^^were all legitimate championship teams. 2000s Western Conference playoffs stayed lit :banderas: Now we got all stars coming off the bench for other all stars because everybody wants the easy path to a ring :scust:

Rockets were never contenders the blazers had like one legit season where they could've won it all really only the kings and Spurs were true threats in the early 2000s but the west none the less was nasty throughout the 2000's I wish the suns could've got a ring that damn Robert hurry hip check:mjcry:

F*ck outta here:

2000s Western Conference:

Spurs
Mavs
Lakers
Kings
Rockets
Blazers
Nuggets
Timberwolves
Suns

Since 2010

This decade has seen the most championship teams since the 70's yet y'all cry and complain you keep bigging up the 2000's as if the lakers and Spurs literally didn't trade chips for 5 straight years from 99 to 02 no team in the east even had close to a chance. The bulls owned the 90's the lakers went to the finals damn near every year in the 80's and the Celtics were the 60's

10:Lakers
11:Mavs(1st title ever)
12:Heat
13:Heat
14:Spurs( 1st chip in over 40 years)
15:Warriors
16:Cavs( 1st title ever)
17:?
18:?
19:?
