Paul George Blames 1 Player for Preventing Him from Winning NBA Title

[murksiderock]

LeBron was a mercenary, KD did the same shyt and won back to back by joining a super team. Ain’t nothing special about being non competitive and stacking easy chips.

My guy I don't tie him to MJ, before I posted anything, the 5th post in this thread summoned Mike...

It be yall mf's bringing up MJ in convos about LeBron not the other way around. Paul George says LeBron kept him from winning a championship. Thats not a beckon for Mike to enter the convo, PG and Mike didn't play in the same league---->though the irony here is when old nikkas of Mike's era claim he the reason they didn't win, yall give all sorts of daps and hugs, even if untrue...

PG is 0-3 vs LeBron. Barkley is 0-3 vs Mike. Both Barkley and PG played many other years where they never ran into Mike or Bron in the playoffs, so all those other times, who kept them from winning a title?

It sounds better if someone says Mike kept em ringless though, right? Lmao...

Your opinion is Mike is better than LeBron, I believe the opposite. Neither can be proven and both are opinions because they never played at the same time...

Miami, Cleveland, and Los Angeles were not super teams when he got there. Golden State was already a championship winning super team when Durant got there...

Y’all Bron stans still so desperate to tie him to MJ, LeBron did his thing over 22 years+ but he’s not Mike.

PG wasn’t winning shyt regardless, he ain’t on that level. Barkley, Malone etc led their teams to the finals

That's fair enough, except these were the 5th, and 6th posts, in this thread:




Why dont you nikkas ever speak up when these nikkas come with this stupid shyt? I know why, I'd love to hear you tell it though...

PG mentioned Bron so this is inherently a Bron thread, but nikka...I didn't bring Bron up.

Its cool to discuss Bron as long as everybody has a shyt on Bron circle jerk. Because you ain't quoted nothing them nikkas said and never do its all good though, fam!

Theyre clearly troll/bait posts. I just skipped past them.

I'm not reading all those walls of text.

This board loves to play the game of, "Bron played with mad players better than Pippen"

Except, in that era, Pippen was unanimously viewed as a Top 10 player and at peak, borderline Top 5. Bron has played with 3 All-NBA teammates, who were All-NBA while they were with him:

•Kyrie at no point of his career has ever been viewed as highly in his era, as Pippen was in his, even if you think Kyrie is a better player in a vacuum;

•Davis was never a consensus Top 5 guy, but he primed in a loaded era, and at his best, he was certainly viewed as borderline. It became en vogue for people to say AD was a Top 5 player to minimize Bron, but sure, he was similar in stature in his era, as Pippen in his;

•Wade was a Top 5 player those first 2 years with Bron certainly, and possibly the third year. He was a better player than Pippen, but the thing with the Wade argument online, mf's want to acknowledge him as Bron having a Top 5 teammate (which is true)---->but when discussing Wade's shortcomings nikkas don't want to give him the accountability of a Top 5 player...

But what the, "Bron played with better players" argument really admits to, is that Wade > Pippen; AD = Pippen; Kyrie < Pippen----->while Bron played in a significantly more sophisticated era of basketball than Mike did, with significantly superior competition...

You can only play who is in front of you, but with all due respect to Mike's competition, he had a losing record vs Zeke's Pistons; and his run of CHAMPIONSHIP dominance didn't begin until Zeke, Bird, Magic, and Kareem were all aged out...

There was no Steph Curry equivalent during Mike's title runs.

There was no Kevin Durant equivalent. Or Kawhi Leonard. Mike was ON the team dynasty of his day. Bron won his titles while competing with a team dynasty...

Defense is so much more sophisticated than in Mike's day, these mf's weren't even playing zone offense is substantially more sophisticated...

This board loves acting like Pippen wasnt as great as he was, but then same breath attribute Bron to playing with washed mf's when they were with him

Pippen was a demon. Outside of wade Bron played with some choir boys

I disagree. This Ayton buzzer beater was preceded by two missed PG free throws in the 21 WCFs to tie the 1-1 going back to LA. At this point CP3 wasn’t even playing. This was a very winnable series to get to The Finals

 

[Lakerman0834]

He coulda won a title as a laker but picked Westbrook .

 

[10bandz]

What prevented PG from winning a title is being from Palmdale and choosing to play for the Clippers. Just an off brand nikka all around.

 

[DlAMONDZ]

The shytty east got dudes like PG and Derozan thinking they were close

We saw what happened when he moved out West. Got punked Dame, Mitch and Gobert in the first round

Mike's playoff record vs All-Time players:

•5-0 vs Ewing
•3-0 vs Barkley
•3-0 vs Zo
•2-0 vs Stockton & Malone
•1-0 vs Magic & Worthy
•1-0 vs Drexler
•1-0 vs Nique
•1-0 vs Payton
•1-0 vs Webber
•1-0 vs Reggie

•1-1 vs Shaq

•1-3 vs Zeke
•0-2 vs Bird & McHale
•0-1 vs Moncrief

LeBron vs All-Time players:

•4-0 vs PG
•3-0 vs Butler
•3-0 vs Rose
•3-2 vs KG & Pierce
•2-0 vs Harden & Westbrook
•1-0 vs Vince
•1-0 vs Melo
•1-0 vs Tatum
•1-0 vs Dame

•2-2 vs Allen
•1-1 vs Billups
•1-1 vs Kidd
•1-1 vs Kawhi

•2-3 vs Steph, Dray, & Klay
•1-2 vs Duncan, Parker, & Manu
•1-2 vs Durant
•1-2 vs Jokic
•0-1 vs Dwight
•0-1 vs Dirk
•0-1 vs CP3

If you cut LeBron's career after 13 years, that would be 2016, so we can make it even to Mike's 13-year Bulls career. Thru 13 years, Bron was:

•3-2 vs KG & Pierce
•3-0 vs Rose
•3-0 vs PG
•2-0 vs Butler
•1-0 vs Durant, Harden, & Westbrook
•1-0 vs Melo
•1-0 vs Vince

•2-2 vs Allen
•1-1 vs Steph, Dray, & Klay
•1-1 vs Kawhi
•1-1 vs Kidd
•1-1 vs Billups

•1-2 vs Duncan, Parker, & Manu
•0-1 vs Dwight
•0-1 vs Dirk

So thru an equivalent 13 years, LeBron played against more All-Time players and more All-Time teams than Mike did. LeBron ran into two dynasties that accounted for 4 of his 7 playoff losses thru 13 years...

Don't even try to shyt on his competition because we can line some of these names up----->the better players overall were in LeBron's era..

This is what I suspected.

Bulls weren't good enough to get past Boston at their peak. Obviously because of that, they never saw the Showtime Lakers at their peak.

They got Detroit when that squad was getting older and declining.

The fact MJ went against 5 different teams in the Finals (Lakers, Blazers, Suns, Sonics and Jazz) suggests there was no dominant team in the West at that time.

He's the GOAT, but MJ kinda lucked out. His peak title years coincided with a league that didn't really have an answer for him.

PG became a different player after his knee injury. Damn shame

IT and MJ almost same age, if Rodman was getting older in 91 with the Pistons then how comes he was a major part of the 96 3-peat with the Bulls

The time period breh.

All those deep playoff runs were taking their toll. Them dudes weren't on the good shyt like nikkas now. It's not like Detroit was hanging around. Bulls were dealing with the Knicks and Pacers more from that point on.

lol Mike with a squad was definitely beating Bad Boys in their prime

I still don’t follow your logic, if the Pistons were burned out after winning back to back then wouldn’t the Bulls be burned out shortly after since they had to battle back then including the bad boy Pistons with Jordan rules then Pat Riley’s Knicks etc..How comes the Bulls won 2 3-peats, 6-0, 6 in 8 years

I think shyt ain’t adding up, bullshyt catching up
