Explain the logic behind placing LEBRON above SHAQ

[Newzz]

the sweeps are a decent argument newzz but like i said tell me about the playoff FAILURES of lebron before he got to miami. how did THAT make YOU feel in ohio?

LeBron never had the roster around him that a Shaq was gifted with his entire career.


Every year of his career, Shaq played with either Penny Hardaway, Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, Steve Nash/Amare Stoudemire, or Kevin Garnett/Paul Pierce/Ray Allen/Rajon Rondo.......except his rookie season.


For as dominant you're proclaiming Shaq to be, LeBron is headed to his 5th straight NBA Finals in a row. That's dominance not seen since Bill Russell

nikka got swept by the 94 Pacers, 95 Rockets, 96 Bulls, 98 Jazz, and 99 Spurs all while in his prime.....but yet he "couldnt be stopped"


LeBron has been swept only 1 time in his career....by the 2007 Spurs. Shaq was swept out of the playoffs in every year except 1 from the 1994-1999 season

I voted "osu sucks"

I dont know who/what osu is but i figured it's the best vote i can give right now

 

[Ed MOTHEREFFING G]

But you brought up teammates though?

All I'm saying is that IF Lebron wins this year with the circumstances, it's arguable that you could place him above Shaq. As of now...no. That's it.

that WASNT all you were saying. You felt the need to go on some kobe rant that didn't need to be said at all. we all know shaq had kobe. we all know shaq and lebron both had wade, and lebron had bosh. They had help when they needed but also dominated.

you can't be serious. The heat squad that won titles was definitely on par with the rosters that shaq had FOR SURE.The only lebron teams that were as weak as the 94 magic were his first finals team [GOT THAT WORK from the spurs] and this year because of injury.Kyrie > any shaq teammate but kobe, EVER. and he never had two complementary pieces like wade AND BOSH.

5 straight finals is great but shaq went to 4 in a row, and won 3.

 

[FTBS]

That's the thing. LeBron is still feasting on the garbage ass east. He does not have (about to be) six finals appearances if he plays out west. It's that simple.

Who's to say that? He'd be in a better conference but he'd also have better teammates.

yeah thats a pretty fake/weak argument

 

[Newzz]

man stop being so silly. humor gets you no daps in this thread.

and quit frontin like you ACTUALLY WATCHED THAT ROCKETS/MAGIC series. Hakeem was better but 'gave him that work' come on fam. The entire rockets squad was better that was why they won.

lets talk about how PAUL PIERCE used to SON OUT lebron in the regular and playoffs. HE will admit that paul pierce is his greatest rival.

lets talk about how the PISTONS was going JORDAN RULES on lebron and he bulked up to compete.

lets talk about that EMBARRASSING 2007 nba finals and lebron GETTING THAT WORK from the spurs 3. that >>>>>>>>>>>>>> magic / rockets

I did watch the series nikka, fukk you talking about?


Hakeem gave that nikka that WORK, fukk you mean "he was better"?


Shaq couldnt guard Hakeem and never could

 

[Techniec]

I said prime shaq breh

Crazy how nikkas forget how Shaq used to abuse grown men in the paint (pause)

greatest gif ever

just shoved that cac with such ease and disgust

Really nikka?


And with that statement, we're done here


Worst basketball post of 2015 right there



Kyrie Irving being better than Dwyane Wade or the Penny Hardaway that played with Shaq is

Lmao Yeah that was some bullshyt. I was simply thinking Lakers. In terms of total team I'm absolutely right though.

only because you brought up teammates first though...dog eat dog....
