so the 2010 were a championship team? :russ:

lebron threw the 2011 finals so wade wouldn't get finals mvp
What are you talking about breh? :gucci:
The 3 best players that year joined the same team. Thats def a championship team which is why they made it to the Finals. The irony that 2010 Heat team with THE TOP 3 RATED PLAYERS IN THE LEAGUE isnt a championship team but this Warriors team with the EXACT SAME RECORD is the greatest team of all time but DOES NOT have the top 3 rated players. :mjpls:

I dont care about all this GS/Cavs stuff outside of entertainment on the coli but you cant sit there with a serious face and say the Heat wasnt a championship team breh.

Everyone gets so caught up in this KD to a 73 win team. I feel like KD is not so caught up in his legacy and just wants to wins some rings and have fun playing. Why go to a team that sucks and is not fun to play at just to appease a bunch of people you never met. If you are already rich and you don't really care if people put you in the GOAT conversation why not go to golden state. You can call him what you want but 15 years from now he won't have Shaq in his face talking bout how he has no rings.

So KD is like prime Larry Fitzgerald in football...you know he's getting 80 to 90 catches and 1200 to 1500 yds.

Steph is like a much, much better DeSean Jackson. Explosive but not really a #1.

:ehh: agree with this.

I think Steph is damn good, but he's more of a 1.5/2 instead of a true #1 option. Good enough to get you to the dance but I don't think he's got enough in the tank to "will" a squad to the promised land. He's never been the best player in the Finals after 4 trips. Iggy was that dude for the 1st, LeBron/Kyrie in #2, KD last year and probably KD this year. Honestly Steph is in a better position than just about any athlete in sports. He gets the benefit of being seen as a superstar #1 (on that KD/LeBron etc tier), but doesn't really take heat when he plays like shyt for 90% of the game. All upside and no downside.

Lot of people will disagree but that’s an apt comparison in my opinion. Golden State runs a gimmick offense the same way the 2000s Phoenix Suns did with the high pace shyt. The only difference is it’s highly highly highly effective EXCEPT when they run into a top 10 player. Like Bron. Then they get exposed because if the 3 ain’t falling they’re not as deadly anymore. KD is more reliable. He may not be as exciting or as electrifying with his offense but you can depend on it more.

Kd could score 80 points in a game and he still wont get props. nikka is drake status before the pusha diss. Yeah hes dominating the game but he’ll never get the respect from his peers or the fans

They kinda were. Because at that point Bosh had already agreed to team up with Wade in Miami and they had a boatload of cap space left to sign another star or top tier role players.

At that time, the thought was that you give either Wade or LeBron help, especially in the form of another all star, and they are Finals bound.

Some people were even arguing that LeBron joined the Heat because if he didn't he knew he'd now have to battle both the Heat and the Celtics on his way to any championship.

They aint gotta give him shyt, he take that from them nikkas on the court.
Bruh KD wont be mentioned among jordan, kobe or lebron. Im being objective. The narrative will always be him joining a 73 win team. Im from oakland. been a warriors fan since i was ten. But im an nba fan first. Kd winning rings wont mean much like lebron with the heat. Bron gets more props for bringing this cavs team to the finals cuz of the numbers he puts up.

He wasnt gonna get mentioned in that regard even if he stayed in OKC and won 2. Thats a media hype as far as the whole "remembered as". If you arent the person that the league invests in then you arent gonna be with those guys without winning 5-6 rings. If youre a real basketball fan, you wont need to worry about that type of stuff really. I dont need anyone to remind me of how good Penny was or Gary Payton etc. The only ring people will really remember for Lebron will be the one in Cleveland if we being honest. GS run has rendered what the Heat accomplished less significant. But us real fans wont forget anything nor detract when its all said and done because of semantics around a player. KD getting these two is side by side with the Heat rings to me. What Lebron has is the Cleveland ring that will be heralded. Rightfully so.
