I don't even understand how this is possible:

Lebron barely eeks out a win with Wade/Bosh and Allen against the spurs
Paul Pierce beat the LA Lakers, Kobe coached by Phil Jackson 4-2 with Rondo/Garnett and Allen.
:comeon:

So I'm to believe, Paul Pierce with Rondo and KG, is on par or slightly better against the Lakers as Lebron is with Wade and Bosh versus the Spurs.
:patrice:


Something has to give, Rondo and KG vs Wade and Bosh is pretty equal, Lebron dominates the Truth. The Lakers didn't have Shaq, the Spurs were old.

The only way I can see the equation adding up is if Lebron is bad in the finals against the West, or something close to that effect. He's the GOAT at carrying a team 82 games and the 3 rounds, but the last 7 games he looks like Moses Malone or Dr. J, amazing big men that get snuffed in the finals

sorry, but sleep walking to the finals every year against trash teams just isn't impressive

Imagine if GOATcan was in the east his entire career, he'd of played in 15 NBA Finals
You call having the largest offensive load out of EVERY single player in the league during the last five postseasons, as sleep walking to the Finals?

This is a once-in-a-lifetime type of thing, that you probably won't see again - appreciate it. :manny:

Stan wars are ruining basketball conversations.

It's all nostalgia fueled vitriol reeking of insecurity about Bron possibly supplanting their favorite player's place in history.

Kobe has always been my favorite player but the hate for Bron has simply gotten out of control. There's literally nothing he can do to please some of you.

Like really, what the fukk was so impressive about Jordan's bulls beating a 43-39 Nets team lead by Kerry Kittles and Keith Van Horn, a Hornets team with Glen Rice as their leading scorer and the Pacers on their way to a chip? Or the Bulls beating the fukking Bullets/Hawks/Heat (good team but still) on their way to a Chip?

You could have that conversation about just about any team? At the end of the day, players beat the teams that's put in front of them.....I've never seen a star player in any sport lead their team to 5 straight finals. Why can't cats appreciate that instead of nitpicking? People always have to raise the bar when it comes to Bron.

Im not a Bron fan but 5 straight trips to the finals is impressive as hell. Even though he has a losing record in the finals and the EAST SUCKS, enjoy his time in the league.

Also clearly didnt watch wade either, those knees were done


Funny thing about it is that the public pounded the Spurs. I remember the line closing pretty far off from the -125 it opened at.. Haralabob even went on Dan Lebatard's show and was telling people he took to the Spurs.....It was quite obvious what was about to happen to the Heat last year.....
