Heard some basketball reporters talking about it today they said that format the player would never go for because the travel would be crazy for a 7 game series

The Warriors vs 76ers in the first round nikkas ain’t trying to do all that traveling going back and forth from east coast and west coast unless it’s the finals

Kobe never played with more than 1 HOF on the same team
Well except that time he had Karl Malone, Shaq, and Gary Payton and couldn't beat the pistons :mjgrin:

Y'know, the team that basically started the whole "let's just get a bunch of old ass superstars together and see if we can bully our way to a victory" strategy

But I'll give you a pass, because we all know FLaker stans pretend that season never happened :pachaha:

"bu... bu... those dudes were washed"

Yeah, that's why D-Wade led Shaq and Gary Payton to a win two years after right? :francis:

Why would you even count the bolded:skip:?

Kobe was getting hoed by Rip Hamilton, yet we're gonna act like he had the team on his shoulders and not Shaq:skip:?

Remind me, who was it that won FMVP during that 3peat and actually went against the Legends:coffee:?

And Laker fans have a terrible eye for talent :mjlol:

Think every player they get is magically gonna be a star like "we got Carlos Boozer :krs::ooh:". " Julius Randle is the future:krs:"

Then when it doesn't pan out they:sadbron: and go at LeBron then say "Bron stans stay havin Gawdbe on they mind" when they are the ones that made the thread and 95% of the responses are anti LeBron.. That shyt aint crazy to yall?? :dahell: ..

Same shyt everytime.. Rinse, repeat

THIS IS YOUR GOAT?

THIS IS YOUR LEADER?

THIS IS WHO YOU STAN?



MJ, Kobe and others placed importance on winning a ring. This dude's championship is making it to the Finals.

:scust:

:mjlol: Thecoli gonna take a huge financial hit when Bron retires.

when was the last time lebron played a team worth a shyt in the east? the 11-12 celtics?


thats the problem there is literally no competition from the east

So for fun ima go kill this theory by showing you how much challenge Lebron has faced vs his Western Conference finals in the playoffs. I will only list when a series goes 6 or 7 games.

2017 Cavs lose one game against the Celts/GSW is perfect until the Finals
2016 Cavs went 6 games against the raps in the ECF/ the GSW go 7 against the Thunder
2015 Cavs went 6 games agains the Bulls in the semis/GSW only goes for 6 against the Grizz
2014 Heat went 6 games against the Pacers in the ECF/Spurs do go for 7 against the Mavs and 6 against the Thunder
2013 Heat goes 7 games against the pacers in the ECF/The Spurs only go for 6 against GSW
2012 Heat goes 6 games against the Pacers in the semis then 7 games against the Celtics/ The Thunder only go 6 games agains the Spurs
2011 Heat win all Eastern Conference games in 5 games /Dallas goes for 6 against Portland

Well why dont you look at that? For all of Lebrons cakewalk to the finals take, In the 7 years Lebron has gone to the finals consecutively, 4 of those years he played a harder playoffs or a playoffs of equal difficulty to his Western Conference opponents :ohhh:

Yet i dont hear anyone saying any of those Western teams had a easy ride to the finals. :jbhmm:



Its a bullshyt narrative that Lebron has struggled in the East less than his West counterparts. Both conferences are identical in that their power is situated at the top. The East has had worse bottom feeders. but guess what, they dont make the playoffs anyway.

And this number should read 5 out of 7 years since the 2011 heat lost 3 games in the playoffs while the mavs only lost 2 but ill let that one slide :troll:

I'm for it.. due way with conferences.. kill the preseason, need more time for more games and players can work themselves back... and make everyone play each other 3 times.. home and away and other ( other can be Vegas/London/Mexico etc) more games would be more revenue.. record books won't change much ..logistics would prob be a nightmare but shyt could really improve the game world wide and the real top 16 teams can make the playoffs
