If you can't shoot from behind the arc, you can't beat teams built like the warriors. You'll end up trading 2's for 3's and shyt will snowball fast. The 1998 bulls took 11.7 threes per game and shot 32.3% as a team. Those lakers took just 15.5 and shot 34.4% from distance. 14-15 threes per game is generally last in the league for attempts. Just look at the grizzlies for your proof if you want an example. The clippers too. You need big men who can shoot from distance and a team that shoots both high volume and efficiency to compete for titles in the league now

You saying 2001 Lakers can't play defense? Lol. It's not trading 2's for 3's.

Plus Shaq and/or Kobe on the block slows down the game.

Pace, post play & defense slow those jump shooting teams down. The lack of post players/big men has allowed jump shooting teams to be relevant on a championship level last several years.

You think Shaq would handle facing that many pick and roll plays outside the paint well? It is trading 2's for 3's. Those lakers didn't shoot many of them and the warriors take a ton. Playing at a slow pace doesn't mean you have to take 2's either. The cavaliers play a numbingly slow pace and take more 3's than the warriors do. Step your knowledge up :stopitslime:

:gucci: Stop me when I name an inferior player steph,kd,draymond,klay,kawhi,duncan,ginobli,Parker,dirk

This ain't the early 2000's where the nets second best player was kmart
Or phillys second best scorer was aaron McKee
Everybody you named is inferior to LeBron if you believe LeBron is the best player of all-time and far and away the best player in the league today.

:russell: The Lebron hatters lol. If he wins you won't give him any credit.
if he wins he doesn't deserve credit for shyt. Cleveland has a the frontcourt advantage, the bench advantage., GS has a slight edge in the backcourt. If Cle doesn't win. They choked, period.

Well lebron said himself he rather lose or not even make the playoffs instead of losing in the finals. So even he knows losing in the finals is worse
that was more so due to the physical and mental exhaustion that it takes playing through those minimum 16 games. It aint have shyt to do with arbitrary goals set by obsessed basketball fans.
