Already preparing the he needs more help excuses.

Also the 2012-2013 Heat team with Ray Allen is a worst supporting cast than 2011-2012? Those two teams are almost identical with the exception of Allen and some bench players

Wade had fallen off a steeper cliff by then.
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..

why aren't you accounting for the reduced pace in today's NBA?

80's only had three good teams...so maybe the basketall finals was better..but those 80 teams was shytty...

90 teams had wayyyy more parity...pretty much every year was a different team other than the bulls competing

Word.... there was SERIOUS competition during the 90's era... from both coasts. It's nowhere near how shyt is today with the east just grossly pathetic and all the real competition been out west.

The 80s Mavs, Bucks, Jazz were better than all those parity "good 90s" teams. Man please. You damn sure didn't watch those squads saying this rubbish.

The 80s Mavs and Jazz easily make a 90s Finals. They were better teams. So were the 80s rockets with Moses and Akeem.

Stop it. It was a competitive shytty league in the 90s with expansion teams creating more jobs for more bums

They were not better than the Jazz who made it to the finals twice to face the Bulls.

You're proving my point about the 90s. Those good teams then didn't play together long enough to become great. The Jazz weren't more talented than the sonics...it was their years together that made them better. Their stability. The same with the 80s teams. The 90s were full of good teams that were short lived


And yet the Jazz only made it after everybody else got flabby...they had just lost to the Sonics the yeat prior..

Sonics was good for 6 years so this wasnt a one time magical run...they was a young teaam that beat a veteran jazz team in 7

The Jazz made it because the quality of the 90s wasn't as good.

How are you going to say" everyone got flabby and that's why the Jazz made it" when you're biggging up teams from an era when "the Jazz made it?" :krs: That defeats your entire argument.

Using your rhetoric the Lakers in the early 00s weren't really that good cause they couldn't win in the late 90s and only won when everybody else got flabby

I said nothing about the early 00s. This is a trash rebuttal

No. Niqqas are talking expansion saying it allowed lower quality players who couldn't find jobs in the 80s a job opportunity.

The 80s doesn't produce a John grocery bagger Starks.

Stop creating trash rebuttals where"making noise" angles is a point. That's rubbish. LOL.

Expansion gave 13 year vets another job.

You named three additional teams...for a whole decade...mavs was pretty good..jazz are underachievers to me..but none of them teams was better than the Lakers so it was really no comp for them..Lakers only worried about the Celtics..those other teams only played for second best...none of the teams in the 90's beating the Lakers..but the second tier teams were wayyy more competitive..

In the 90's you had 6 teams in the west all competing to get a chip...equally

Jazz weren't underachievers. They just had to face stacked ass 80s teams. 80s squads were stacked and free agency wasn't as prominent to rape good teams.

It was really unfair for teams like the 80s Mavs, Jazz, Bucks and Rockets. Those teams would have wrecked shop in the 90s but had the misfortune of facing staked 80s squads yet still gave them trouble.

Ralph Sampson prayer was bullshyt.
