And Giannis won all his series this year. :gucci:
Dude said Gianni’s got a break playing hurt teams in the playoffs. I said Lakers played a hurt team in the Finals. All that is facts for both sides. You nikkas so emotional you don’t even know what you arguing right now when there’s argument to be had. Just various observations. At least regarding me. Quote other folks saying other shyt to argue.

The premise of the thread is that Bron should have won with his 1st cavs team. WTF does his 2020 title have to do with that? Of course Bron can win when his teams are better than the competition, that's not in doubt.

09 brin lost to a Dwight Howard lead team..

Say it outloud .. a Dwight Howard lead team :mjlol:

As opposed to Giannis, who has lost to fukking Al Horford-led and Kyle Lowry-led teams. :deadrose::deadrose::deadrose:


Bron in 2009 averaged 40-8-8 against the Magic. You'd have to be a fukking idiot to hold that series against him just because Dwight Howard (perennial MVP candidate in that era) was their best player. A Ben Wallace-led team destroyed the Shaq-Kobe Lakers and Ben Wallace ain't half the player that prime Dwight was.

Jimmy Butler was the best player brin played against in the mickey mouse finals :mjlol:

I don't think you're following. Jimmy Butler was only in the Finals cause Giannis lost to him. It could have been MVP Giannis in the Finals, but that didn't happen cause Giannis lost. How is it a knock on Bron and not Giannis that Bron beat an inferior team in the Finals when the only reason that inferior team got there was because Giannis couldn't get the fukking job done?

And Bron beat the 2017, 2018, and 2021 MVPs on the way to the Finals. If it wasn't for Giannis choking against the Heat, the Bron-led Lakers would have beaten all of the last 4 MVPs in that "mickey mouse" playoffs, with no home court advantage, and only dropped 3-4 games combined while doing it too.

No one wrote anything about the leadership of Dwight Howard, much less "paragraphs". :why:

I'm starting to think you have some sort of reading impediment.

I don’t care what the premise of the thread was. My post was about a specific thing, to a specific person. What everyone else was talking about ain’t got nothing to do with me. I wasn’t conversing with them.

Just to be clear, we're talking about the same Giannis who until this injury-filled postseason had only won a total of 3 playoff series in his 8-year career, right? The same Giannis who would have gone home in the 2nd round if Kyrie hadn't gotten hurt and still came a toe away from losing even WITH Kyrie hurt? The same Giannis who previously had been eliminated by the:

Rose-Butler Bulls
Lowry-Derozen Raptors
Tatum-Brown Celtics
Kawhi-Siakim Raptors
Butler-Bam Heat

That Giannis is suddenly a conqueror of worlds and would have racked up titles in the late 2000s even with a much shyttier supporting cast than he has now?





:why:

Bron averaged 40-8-8 against that Magic team and it still wasn't enough cause the Cavs didn't have the bodies to guard all the tall perimeter players. Putting Giannis in his place isn't gonna help them cause Dwight is gonna keep Giannis well under 40ppg and the Cavs still wouldn't have the bodies to guard all those perimeter players.

And the "old ass celtics" were 21, 32, 30, 31, and 23 in 2008 and 23, 34, 32, 33, and 25 in 2010. That ain't "old" enough to keep them from winning, that starting lineup had 8 more all-star appearances ahead of them in 2011-2013. Why would Giannis do any better against them than Bron? KG would have been a solid defender to match him and he ain't out there stopping Ray/PP on jump shots, in fact he'd have to choose between protecting the rim or getting pulled out by KG and either one is a worse option than Bron shutting down PP considering the parts of the court those Celtics made their shots from.
Yea much respect to Giannis...but he's not bullying Dwight like he did Ayton.

And 35 year old Bron washed him

22 year old Giannis lost to a rookie Tatum in the first round while Bron at that same age went to the finals :yeshrug:
36 year old Bron was averaging 27/8/8 on 55% the last 10 games before Solomon HIll happened.

Quiet as its kept Bron might be the best defender (because of his strength) on Giannis :patrice:

Fukking Solomon Hill costing us the Best player of the last decade vs. the best player of the Next decade finals :snoop:

Might have been Brady vs. Mahomes 2.0 :sas2:

Maybe next year tho :sas1:

a dude like Middleton would never develop to his full potential playing with bron

so you’re saying a good to great 3andD player who can create his own shot wouldn’t be thriving with lebron ?
Had Bron stayed in Cleveland he would've got one eventually.

He left after 7 years. This is Giannis' 8th year. Boston Celtics would've got old and not been able to keep up after a while. He would've had from 2012 to 2019 to dominate the East :yeshrug:

i love how y’all act like the Cavs FO at that time wasn’t trash as fukk.
The bucks did a good ass job building around Giannis.
