Max Kellerman: "LeBron created a Superteam with Miami. KD just raised him one"

[Biscayne]

Dude, Mike Miller was being held together by scotch tape and James Jones played more than 5 minutes maybe once every 20 games or so.

Ita so hilarious seeing people acting like they don't remember watching the Heat in real time those first 2 years. They were a flawed team and people sure didn't waste an opportunity to point that out. Now y'all acting like they were at the Warriors' level

It all comes down to Bron fans being mad that KD was a better and easier fit on GS and had a seemingly easier time getting a title in year one. That doesn't make that heat team not a superstar at that time. They only lost 3 games on their way to the finals in 2011. Tall forgot about Wade averaging 30ppg against Boston. Bosh avenging 20 against Chicago and torching boozer. These were deeper teams that only won one game against Miami because Miami had 3 players that were better than the best 3 of the opposing 3.

Quit playing stupid. He missed a shytload of games and save for the occasional moment he was never some game changing role player.

And I can't even believe you listed Joel Anthony . fukking comedy

Curry's missed Alot of games while KD has carried the load for much of this season.

 

[Big Boss]

The revisionist bullshyt with the Heat is legitimately maddening...

"The Heat were never a superteam"

"Chris Bosh was never considered by anyone a top power forward"



Do we just get to rewrite history at any point

It's just such a blatant wholesale refusal of reality as it happened, I can barely even wrap my head around it

I get it, they were perhaps disappointing from the perspective of the lofty expectations that everyone had when they first formed and LeBron got on stage during their coronation and promised a 8 ring dynasty...But that don't mean you get to retroactively pretend they weren't the biggest collection of in prime talent we had seen come together in at least a generation... That's 100% hindsight

If that's the case, the dubbs aren't a superteam cause the 73win team choked to the cavs...Since they failed, let's just say fukk it rewrite history....KD joined a team that wasn't really that good

 

[Biscayne]

shut LeBron out of what. Before he went down 0-2 people was debating whether he was better than Jordan. Nicca gonna play 7-8 more years and rack up even more accolades.

Steph's ankles and knees have maybe 1-2 years at best and then you stuck with Sir Snake.

Enjoy the moment

So curry is never healthy like Dwade had his health struggles in the regular season. You're proving our point. KD still hasn't had to rely on Steph, while on the flipside KD won the finals MVP and carried the team this season in Steph's absence. What makes what KD did, different than what LeBron did in Miami?

 

[Biscayne]

Give it 2 years and Wade and Bosh will have been lucky to be in the league.

2017 NBA finals

Steph Curry

28 ppg, 8 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals 44% FG and 39% from 3


2012 NBA finals

D Wade

23 ppg, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 43% FG

2013 NBA finals

20 ppg, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 47% shooting




Curry is far more important to the Warriors than Durant is. Don't know basketball brehs

 

[Biscayne]

LeBron
Dirk
Russ
Durant
Kobe
Rose
Melo
Paul
Dwight
Deron Williams
Nash
Roy


You have to remember young buck, Stephen Jackson was averaging 20 and 5 with the bobcats


Big fish in a small pond

Are DeRozan and Lowry top 10 players to you?

No Wade on that top 10 list?

Let me know, when did D-Wade avg a damn near 30 pt triple double in the Finals like Steph did last year during that 4 year run?

Don't worry I'll wait........

 

[Kobes Two Jerseys]

They act like he was the only one of the 3 that were on badteams prior to them joining forces. They act like it wasn't a mutual benefit for all 3 when they joined forces. LeBron had some legendary moments in Miami, but even on superteams one player is gonna look better than the others and contribute the most. IE Kevin Durant in last years finals offensively and defensively...

Bron stans will post this as Chris Boshs highlight reel before he joined the Heat.

 

[ROFL_GUY]

Wade avg 26.5pts 6.5ast 5reb (won scoring title 08\09)

Breh, LeBron never averaged a 30pt triple double in all four years in the finals in Miami. LeBron never even averaged more than 28ppg in the finals in Miami. KD averaged 33 in the finals last year. KD never averaged 18ppg in be finals either like LeBron did. Never got outplayed by Westbrook is the finals like Wade outplayed bron. Still hasn't gotten outplayed by Steph either. I can do this all night....

Now post KD and LeBron stats for the 2012 and 2017 Finals respectively....

You're the one who pointed out Steph's ankles issues....



Wade was a couple possessions away from getting another finals MVP and doing it under LeBron nose. Thus far, there is no real threat of Steph taking one away from KD. Never seen a one sided performance with KD/Steph like 2011.

We ain't talking about 2011 dummy. We talking about 2012-2014 when LeBron was carrying them nikkas.


Are you really gonna compare LeBron playing with an injured Wade and Bosh with Battier being their 3rd option most nights to Durant playing with Curry, Klay, Dray, with Iggy and Shaun Livingston coming off the bench


I point out Curry's ankle issues because he's the most important piece to the Warriors. We saw that with the Snake scoring 38 points with no assists and Warriors getting blown out


Without Curry, Durant the same bytch nikka he was in OKC when he played with 2 MVPs.

 

[Shadow King]

Is Miami still together and did KD lose to LeBron in 2016?

Brons stats were proportional to Wade's production in the 2012 and 2013 Finals. Not only that, but you conviniently ignore KD's defensive production on that Warriors squad also. How he would also play the 5 and multiple positions on that team. While KD's fit on the Warriors was smoother than the Big3, make no mistake, LeBron isn't without Wade or Bosh. Again, LeBron never had to avenge more than 28ppg in any of his finals in Miami. The production gap wasn't that deep. Without Wade and Bosh, LeBron is ringless and has the same career trajectory as LeBron. Battier rotated between being their 4th best option most nights with Chalmers and Ray, bosh was the 3rd wheel in a system that didn't rely on as much ball movement as golden state. Part of the reason Bosh's numbers dipped was because he got less touches in this system. Same with Wade, hell same with LeBron. But make no mistake, everyone did their job proportional to their role in the system. Just like KD on the golden state.
