They keep changing the rules of basketball as a whole to where superstar players are becoming irrelevant...
The game is so watered down... Flagrant this, technical that(for staring at someone) . Athleticism is being removed to help incorporate more caucasians into the game.
The offensive charge call is a perfect example of this.. back in the day people used to at least try and keep up with the person there are defending and block a shot.. now its taught to just get in front of them and stop moving altogether and hope he runs into you. Lol thats considered "good defending "
Its so dumb to me how the game is being taught these days.
Truth of the matter is no basketball player from the 90s early 2000 would have an impact on his team in today's NBA. Jordan, shaq,Kobe...NO one
all you really need are a bunch of people who can stand on the 3 point line and make an open J, which Miami has none of

Why are you posting links to opinions of sports writers and basketball players ? So what,serge ibaka said L.James is not a good defender and can only play defense for two or three minutes.Do you really believe this ? Ibaka made these comments after the game 3 finals loss to the heat.Lebron called him an idiot.The heat then won games 4 & 5 to close out the series
And then you say lebron led the heat in rebounding because Bosh was standing at the 3 pt line.Well what happened to bosh's rebounding this season ?
Bosh:
2014: 6.6 reb in 32.0 minutes
2015: 7.0 reb in 35.4 minutes
Bosh still is a shytty rebounder with or without James
And how do you talk about wade missing 19 games this year,when he miss 28 games last year ? Those 28 games took a toll on lebron.He had to carry a heavy load in the absence of wade.Why do you think lebron was cramping up in game 1 of the finals ?.wade's numbers look good because he got 28 games worth of rest.There were games where wade was not injured,he would just sit out to give his body a rest.The stats wade puts up are deceptive and inflated because he gets an ample amount of rest during the season.Wade's body is unable to play 75+ games.
Look at the finals number from 2015
Lebron: 28/8/4/2 57%/52%/79%
wade: 15/4/2/1 43%/33%/69%
wade did not show up.But fans will kill james and give wade a pass
And Who cares what wade did in the 06 finals ? That D.wade is long gone.Lebron is still a top 3 player in the league.period.And yes,wade and bosh both miss playing time,55 total games.But they've gotten an unexpected 82 games from Whiteside and Dragic.So the 55 games are off set imo.
Come on man,wade/Dragic/Deng/Whiteside.This heat team should have made the playoffs.How do you have only 35 wins up to this point ? I mean look at the Bucks:
Parker 54 missed games
sanders 52 missed games
Ilyasova 24 missed games
Mayo 11 missed games
Dudley 8 missed games
Dudley & mayo's injuries were very tough on the bucks because they came at the same time after knight was traded.I'm not gonna include the bucks trading knight becasue they got back MCW.The kid has potential.
The bucks,pacers,bulls,nets and wizards have all had injuries,and boston traded rondo.There's no excuse for the miami heat to not have a playoff spot.They had the 7th seed 3 weeks ago and have gone 3-9 in their last 12 games with wade/dragic/whiteside/deng in the lineup.They were in position to make a playoff push,but they've choked down the stretch.
The Bulls and hawks have won nothing.And it looks like you' already have an excuse should the cavs reach the finals.Calling LeBron the nba golden boy.was D.wade to golden boy when he was getting all those free throws in the 06 finals ?

Not this theory again. Let me guess, Stern was looking y
Iverson was an inefficient, ball-hogging, chucker. He was also old. 31 and 33 is prime?Somebody needs to tell Wade that. Iverson was only efficient twice in his career, and one of them was with 'Melo. 'Melo was the best player on the team. It sure wasn't old Billups. Iverson and Billups were the one's who did nothing:
Iverson in the '07 Playoffs - 22.8ppg on 36.8% and 29.4% from 3. Iverson in '08 - 24.5 on 43.4% and 21.4% from 3.
Billups in the WCF: 18.2ppg on 39.7% and 33.3% from 3.
In the '09 WCF, 'Melo got sick and needed Billups to help. Billups' response of shooting 39.7% from the field lead to them to lose in 6 games, which was really 5 games because the league cheated the Lake Show in game 5 to extend the series for the money.
Iverson, who he only had for 3 years, didn't play in the playoffs one of the 3 years he was in Denver, and showed up in 1 of the 2 post-seasons that he was present for. 'Melo didn't make the WCF with Iverson, but he sure made it without him. A sick 'Melo took an old Billups (who played like trash in the series), the worst b-ball player of all time at the time (J.R.), and a bunch of players who didn't know what offense was, to the Western CF and won 2 games against a dynasty. I'd be remiss if I didn't point out that there's a reason George Karl didn't have a job for the longest.
Not counting this season, Wade has already missed the playoffs twice in a weak East, and his team wasn't even tanking like NY has done last season and this season. 'Melo doesn't miss the playoffs.
How you gonna cherry pick every facet of Melos career to make excuses for him, but then go on to say Dwade missed the playoffs twice in his career, and leave it at that?Iverson was an inefficient, ball-hogging, chucker. He was also old. 31 and 33 is prime?

True, it was worse. The league needed Lj to get some rings because he embarrassed them in the 2011 Finals. It was damage control. He was an embarrassment to the league that has spent millions (if not more) on convincing people that he's the “best player in the world”. KD was not allowed to guard Lj. KD was punking him, which is why he averaged 4 fouls per game. The league called excessive bogus fouls in game 1 vs ny, game 1 vs the pacers, game 1 vs boston (mostly just excessive tech fouls in this one), game 2 vs boston, and games 3 and 4 vs okc. That means excessive bogus fouls were being called against EVERY team Miami played in the playoffs all the way to the Finals. Boston was the better team that season, and was cheated out of a Finals appearance.
And I haven't even detailed the 2013 Finals run.

Let's not act like I didn't say old Battier (who also weighed a lot less than Lj) got all of Lj's assignments. Let's not act like I didn't say Lj is one of the worst defenders in the league who just roams around for blocks and steals because he's too undisciplined to stay in front of his man. Then, I posted statements that I agreed with. Ibaka and Beckley are qualified to speak on defense because what they said matches the film. Of course I agree with Ibaka. He said Lj wasn't stopping Durant. Lj agrees:
You said Ibaka said it after the game 3 loss and then they lost the series. Are you suggesting he wouldn't have said it if they had won?
Bosh isn't feeling well this season. When Bosh was healthy and wasn't at the 3pt line, he was a 24 and 10 guy.
Those 38 games ain't took no toll when he still had Bosh and the rest of the team. Lj has had cramps for years and that was at least his 2nd time cramping up in the post season. He's the only one who was on a championship team and got cramps.
Miami was losing to bad teams and getting blown out by them early into Wade's leave of absence, causing fans to panic that the team was imploding and that the run was over.
Wade needed the rest because he's old with bad knees. No, there wasn't games where Wade wasn't injured. That's like saying there were games where Rose wasn't injured. Wade, Rose, Amar'e, are all injured all the time because they all have bad knees and 2 of them are old.
You've got excuses for Wade's numbers when the reality is that most players are rusty after sitting out that many games. They don't usually come back and spearhead a 27-game winning streak.
Lj's numbers were inflated because he padded his stats in garbage time. Lj played like trash in that series. He got punked by Kawhi so badly it ain't even funny. He disappeared for 3 quarters per game while stat-padding in garbage time. He averaged 3.6ppg in the 4th quarter of the series, and in games where his team was being blown out on their home floor. He averaged 3.8 turnovers per game. He didn't play defense. He didn't pass Bosh the ball, even though Bosh played better than everyone on the team. He let Kawhi do this to him (click here).
Here's an example of Lj's stat-padding:
You shouldn't post stats if you didn't watch the series. If you watched it, then you shouldn't post stats because you would know that they're misleading.
An injured Whiteside and a newly acquired Dragic is no "offset". Dragic averaged like 4apg last season. Wade does that in his sleep. Please stop.
None of those players who missed games on the Bucks are Bosh and prime Wade. And I haven't even brought up McRoberts.
Rondo is the laughing stock of the league who hasn't been himself since he tore his acl. Boston played like trash with Rondo when he came back from his acl tear.
What does the Bulls and Hawks not having won have to do with them being better than the Cavs who are one of the most trash on d in league? What have the Cavs' won?
I don't know what Wade was in '06. That was a long time ago. I know Lj has been the NBA's golden boy since he skipped town to be saved by Wade and Bosh in 2010. This is no secret:

Lmao at the LeBron video,Durant is a all-time great scorer.He's going to score no matter what.
,Penny hardaway was dropping 38 & 39 pt games on Pippen & Jordan.does that mean Jordan and Pippen were not great defenders ? D.Wilkins was dropping 30 - 40 pts on Jordan and pippen,again,does that mean Jordan and pippen were not great defenders ? Jordan drop 45 pts on Payton,does that mean payton was not a great defender ?
Great players are going to score no matter what
Penny 39 pts (17-25 fg) vs Pippen
Penny 38 pts(15-21 fg) vs Pippen and Jordan
Penny shot nearly 70% fg in those 2 games combined.Does that mean Scottie and Micheal are shytty defenders ?

I see some of you calling james overrated,or claiming that lebron is a garbage derfender.But whats the point of your argument.Lebron is still a better defender than Durant,curry,harden and westbrook.Don't act like lebron wasn't chasing around T.Parker in last years nba finals,it certainly wasn't D.Wade.
That 39 pt hardaway game is crazy.I don't think he scored one basket on pippen.Why did phil Jackson not put pippen on penny ?

Celtics have used 23 different starting line ups and no one on their team is as good as Dragic, Whiteside, D Wade
What a stupid ass thread 
Wade is 33 yrs-old with bad knees and 3 rings..
He's not carrying teams anymore

Laughing at you n*ggaz like “ha ha ha”
The Milwaukee Bucks traded their best player, lost their rookie of the year for the season early on, and had their defensive anchor basically retire in his prime mid-season and will still make the playoffs.
@ these excuses
This Cavs/Heat beef
Cavs fans giving no fukks in their assessments
