I keep telling everyone if Lebron was in the West he'll be 4-1 :snoop:

You just took a WOAT list that had the '92 Blazers at #5 at face value? :dwillhuh:

Why you shyt on the 92 blazers, they had the type of size and athleticism on the perimeter people rave about today. Scottie Pippen in an interview said they were the toughest finals matchups because of their size and length on the perimeter.

Drexler - 6'7
Ainge - 6'4
Kersey - 6'4
Porter - 6'3
Cliff Robinson - 6'10

Also, since you're shytting on my list give me yours so i can do the same thing back to you

I get all that...but those teams were still better than other decade longivity teams..that Orlando team with Shaq and penny no matter of how short the time period was..is still better than any 80's team probably other than the Lakers..and maybe hou..

I don't get this blasphemy of horrible 90 basketball...saw some good teams...no all time great teams othe than the bulls...but it's like 4 or 5 all time great teams in history...the second tier of teams was much better in the 90's...

I feel like everybody just think of the Knicks and heat and their slow down pace and automatic remember bad basketball...

Those Knicks and Heat squads were defensive beasts. And their rivalry was classic. Riley and Van Gundy both get props.

Ewing,Gary Payton,Clyde Drexler,Barkley,Reggie Miller,Magic,Shaq,Stockton and Malone..I can go on.. :camby:

I see you said finals but deal with it.
Garnett, Duncan, Durant, Westbrook, Parker, Rose, Ginobili, Paul George, Pierce, Jesus, Rondo, Carmelo, Harden, those mid 2000s Pistons... we can do it for both guys.

Not to mention a Michael Jordan team was never going to be out coached. Certainly can't say the same for LeBron.

The Dallas series still looks bad though :sadcam:

Also it does highlight that Jordan needed every bit of that 41/9/6 average to beat the Suns in 93.

31/11/7 against the Lakers

Other than that OKC series, 29/10/7 we havent seen all time great finals from LeBron.
He should have shot the ball more against San Antonio last year. He was shooting 57% from the floor.

I think he needs to put up 31/9/8 to beat the Warriors..

Yeah Lebron has to dominate to win this series..

More like 35 10 and 8

That 92' team was already beat up by the West in the late 80's, the Pistons in 90' and choked vs. the Lakers in 91'. They were on their last legs in 92' and wasn't nearly as good as they were years prior to that.

Reb those guys with the exception of ainge and buck were under 30.

Never in my life or in basketball history has a team under 30 were on their "last legs"
