1982-85 would disagree with you

Underachievers is the word to use in 10 years.

with sadness... it would have been great if they didn't shoot themselves in the foot with their own stupidityHow are we going to look back on that 4 year, 2 ring run by lebron and em?
announcing it on tv like it was going to be some great news that the world would embrace.... WRONG
coming out with them 3 in their full uniforms, dancing, and celebrating like they already won the title..... WRONG
bron sitting there spouting off numbers... until he really fukking got to 8 motherfukking championships..... WRONG
then losing to the dallas mavericks of all people
then only getting 2 rings out the whole ordeal
only to go out on another loss... and run away after 4 years, when you promised 8 rings
if they had just teamed up... released the news through agents or press... and shut up and played.... it would look amazing or at least like a legendary 4 years.. cause there would be no expectations
they heaped all that shyt on themselves... thinking this was like bird, kareem and jordan teaming up... and it never was that and wasn't much better than the big 3 in boston. they just swore they was gonna ease their way into a dynasty of epic proportions with no resistance from the league cause they were the big 3 baby!!!
i'm not even sure lebron staying in cleveland for those 4 years couldn't have netted him 2 rings if they got some good free agents
Kinda random but they had the best starting lineup song in the 2011 finals down for my nikkas by c murder shyt was
That one was nice too.
I preferred this one though...

We will look back at it as Bron doing it the cheap way
Anyone else and it would have been a run for the ages. Cause it was Bro and the Heat and we expected a title every season we say it's less then that.Nah, gotta win em if you are for the ages. Atleast a 3peat, I'll give a pass for the revenge chip the Spurs won but even then it was an ass whooping like no other
Bruh are you serious?
You really finna act like the Lakers didnt play in a tougher conference than the heat?
Reading comprehension BrothaZay.
Who the hell said that the Lakers didn't play in a "tougher conference" than the Heat, whatever that is supposed to prove?
The guy I was clowning didn't claim they played in a "tougher conference than the Heat", he claimed they played in "arguably the toughest conference of all time".
If your tough semifinal series are the Williams/Boozer/Okur Jazz and the Artest/Brooks/Hays Rockets, and your three Conference Finals opponents are the Nuggets, the Suns, and a Spurs team with an injured Ginobli, then you do NOT get to claim that you played in the toughest conference of all time.
The Lakers played in an era where the 5-9 seeds in the Western Conference were especially strong, and the 2-4 seeds in the Western Conference were especially normal. That doesn't exactly make them an incredible team.
Again, what was the BEST team they defeated in that three-year stretch? What was their BEST performance in a series? Was the best team they beat really better than the 61-win 2011 Bulls (Rose-Deng-Boozer-Noah-Bogans with Gibson/Korver off the bench), the 47-19 2012 Thunder (Durant-Westbrook-Ibaka-Thabo-Perkins with Harden/Fisher off the bench) or the 58-win 2013 Spurs (Duncan-Parker-Leonard-Green-Splitter with Ginobli/Diaw off the bench)???
While the Lakers played in a "tougher conference" top to bottom, nothing they actually had to do in that conference was really more impressive than going a perfect 12-0 against the Bulls, Celtics, Pacers, etc. for 4 years.
And that added year in the Finals, plus the Heat wins over more impressive San Antonio and Oklahoma City teams, plus the more compelling story lines, plus the more engaging drama and more incredible star performances, definitely put the Heat well over the top in terms of a run.
And the Heat needed arguably the most clutch shot in NBA history by Ray Allen to prevent them from going 1-3 in the Finals during their 4 year stretch. And their only win would have been in a lockout shortened year.
What a run!!!
It goes both ways.
So the big Kobestan critique is going to keep being, "But a 66-game season doesn't count! Those extra 16 games would have put us over the hump!"
It's not like the Heat didn't actually play 400 games those four years or something like that.
And how does one of the greatest shooters in history making "arguably the most clutch shot in NBA history" against a fantastic team degrade the Heat run? He was literally doing the only thing he was on the Heat to do. The Heat are literally the only team in the NBA where a shooting specialist making a clutch shot is considered a negative.
You seriously called the shot "arguably the most clutch shot in NBA history" and tried to degrade the Heat's run in the same breathe.
Do people go around claiming, "Jordan making that shot against the Jazz really degrades the Bulls' run?"
I mentioned Artest's shot because the Lakers needed a guy who was shooting 29% from three in that playoffs to make a last-second shot in order to avoid losing their 3rd straight game and going to Phoenix down 3-2...against a team that won a total of ONE playoff game in 2008, 2009, and 2011 combined.
And Artest bricking a three so bad that it missed everything and went right to Gasol standing there under the basket (without an injured Perkins taking up the space to grab that rebound) is NOT the equivalent to the Bosh/Ray combo on that huge three.
Your best two arguments against the Heat run being classic were that one of the seasons had 16 fewer games and Ray Allen made a huge shot.

No. I'm pointing out the idiotic hypocrisy in your post.Your best two arguments against the Heat run being classic were that one of the seasons had 16 fewer games and Ray Allen made a huge shot.
You're trying to belittle the Lakers' back to back by pointing out some plays that you thought were extremely "fluke" or "lucky."
I was simply showing you that that's a slippery slope because nothing is more lucky than bricking a game tying shot, getting the offensive rebound in a crazy scramble, and getting it to (at the time) greatest 3pt shooter in NBA history who shuffles back two steps and hits a massive shot with seconds remaining. In fact, that's by far a crazier and more unlikely scenario than Ron Artest hitting a 3.
Even the Heat fans didn't believe shyt like that was possible. They had already left the arena
I'm not a Kobe stan or a Lakers stan, but you're being really dense if you honestly believe the Lakers caught breaks and that diminishes their back to back whereas the Heat's was "hard earned" or whatever you tell yourself at night.
If you look at any title you'll see quarters, runs, moments, rebounds, shots, FTs, turnovers that were extremely timely and fortunate. Breaks happen. Why do you hold the Lakers' breaks against them but try to justify the Heat's?
I was mocking you in that post by being purposely facetious and showing you how dumb your own rhetoric sounds. Normally I wouldn't feel the need to tell a person this, but I think an exception needs to be made in your case.

I make sh*t shake up in broad day
The reason I liked the 2011 one was because nikkas HATED that team and that songs beat sounded like a super hero's villain theme song shyt was perfect for that year..
