So when did being the best loser become more valuable than winning it all?

[the cac mamba]

LeBron logic says it's better to approach 7 broads and only smash 3 than it is to approach 6 and smash all 6

so where does your analogy leave MJ getting bounced from the playoffs? getting cockblocked by her friends?

i dont think im ever gonna understand why losing in the first round is better than losing in the finals your goal every season is to win the finals. if you dont win the finals, then you lost that season. if bron gets 6 rings, he has more conference championships

edit: but i dont see why 3/7 is better yet :hovtrump: who the fukk is saying that? im assuming we're talking about 6/10 compared to 6/6

I think you get a little bit of a pass when her friends are the Bad Boy Pistons and the Bird Celtics...

Outside of his rookie season losing to a 59 win Milwaukee team and the year when he came back and only played 17 games when they lost to Orlando(who went to the finals that year), the only teams that beat Jordan in the playoffs are the Bad Boys and the Bird Celtics

Who's gonna stop LeBron, the bum ass Raptors? Jordan went against some of the best teams ever assembled

THAT OLD ASS SPURS TEAMS
WASNT ALL TIME ANYTHING.

THEY WERE FORTUNATE OKC WASNT HEALTHY THOSE 2 SEASONS.

SPOTTED THEM A 2-0 LEAD
BEFORE IBAKA CAME BACK.

WHO STOPPING BARKLEY
AND KJ IN TODAYS WEST
OTHER THAN GS?



​

In 2014 Spurs beat the Thunder by 28 in Game 5 with the full Westbrook-Reggie-Durant-Ibaka lineup starting. Then they beat OKC on the road in Game 6 even with TP missing the 4th/overtime. You stay making excuses.

Not to mention that that OKC lineup would have dominated the 1990s West too. Not one of those teams would have been able to handle Westbrook OR Durant in a million years, fukk, even Reggie Jackson and Ibaka would have been dominant in an era where Dan Majerle and Danny Manning were fukking All-stars in the West.


KJ was a 6'1" pg who couldn't shoot from more than 15-18 feet out. Was injured half the season and didn't even make the All-star game that year getting beat out by Terry Porter and Sean Elliott. He clearly wasn't even near his prime self that year.

Barkley was a gifted athlete but lazy as hell on defense. A 6'6" pf who can't shoot threes and doesn't have real post moves only going so far today as a #1.

That team barely beat the shytty-ass '93 Lakers 3-2, went to six against the Robinson-and-nobody Spurs, then got taken to 7 by a young Seattle team whose leading scorer was Ricky Pierce.

That team gets destroyed by Westbrook-Reggie-Durant-Ibaka or TP-Ginobli-Green-Kawhi-Duncan or Wade-Ray-Lebron-Bosh.

So Finals record>playoff record?

 

[itsyoung!!]

More rings more rings

but this post contradicts all your other posts in this thread

 

[onelastdeath]

but this post contradicts all your other posts in this thread

Nah. It doesn't.

More trips only matters if you have more rings.

6-9 is not greater than 6-0 in my opinion. It's as good.

7-9 though > 6-0

It's the reason why Mike's 6-0 is better than Kobe's 5-2

Had Kobe went 6-1, it's as good as 6-0 and obviously 7-0 would be better.

I hear you brother Dankster. But I will have to disagree with you on Barkley. He did have post moves. He did however wait for the double at times to pass out.

But Barkley had the up and under, spin move on the block, fade away and other moves.

He was such a difficult defender that coach bach with the bulls said Barkley and Hakeem were the hardest post players to defend. The bulls actually deployed a special defense at times for Barkley during his time in Philly.

When Barkley would catch the ball on the block they would send the double and the double guy would put his arm around the post defender. This was done because Barkley was such a good dribbler off the double that he would literally split the double and get in the paint.

Also now a days post players don't get fouls and they can't be physical. So it would be an adjustment for every post player from the past to play now.

It has been discussing to watch post players this playoffs get beat up in the post and not get calls. Then if they face of from the 3 line and put the ball on the floor they will get a rocky tack foul that they can't even get in the paint....

No because Bron does not have to go through the wear and tear of the playoffs he has it easy
Switch warriros and Cavs same happens this year because Durant fukked everything up
West is trash now too

I'm curious, hypothetically if Lebron was in the West instead of East how many finals appearances do you think he'd have (only 2, 3)? Since the West is the superior conference, wouldn't his teams be the favorite the years he made it to the finals.. It could still possibly have the same end result of him having three times, but with a better win percentage.

LMAO, this is a classic internet argument. Propping up a statement no one is saying only to shoot it down

You switch him with the best team in the West?

So in 2007, does he singlehandedly carry the Cavs over the Deron/Boozer/Kirilenko Jazz like he beat the Billups/Hamilton/Prince Wallace Pistons?

2011, they beat the young Thunder just like they would a year later.

2012, take the Spurs like they do a year later.

2013, beat Memphis easy.

2014, Thunder might beat them except for KD factor

2015, over Rockets easy

2016, Thunder would be tough but you gotta give it to them.

So I say he makes six, all but 2014, and wins three still.

This is the other thing nikkas are really comparing the 80s Celtics and Pistons to Dwight Howard's magic and an old Celtics team

It's hilarious when these peasants switch in and out of wanting to use context/looking at the absolute result

 

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

you are liar

Would you be more or less impressed if Jordan was 6-2 in the finals? - RealGM

the topic on realgm is about whether you would be impressed with 6-0 record or 6-2 record of MJ's career, meaning that if MJ beat detroit pistons in the 80s but lost in the finals, then proceeded to dominate the league in the 90s, would yall be more impressed with that instead of what MJ's career actually been like. The topic wasn't even about LeBron James.


somehow you spinning topics like these into 3-4 > 6-0 when the truth is you are just making pointless topic to see people talk bad on lebron to make you feel better. nikka worse than a tmz

Nikka this ain't the only thread they've made on the subject

 

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

HE WAS 6/11

ONLY A fakkit WOULD COUNT SEASONS
WHERE HE PLAYED 17 & 18 GAMES.

ONLY A BIGGER fakkit WOULD TRY TO COUNT HIS TIME WITH THE WIZ.



​

I mean if we really want to be real about this conversation, this is correct

But even 6/15 is a better percentage than 3/13

 

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

Nope.... not even close

Those GS and Spurs teams Bron faced would've beat them the breaks off the Jazz, Trailblazer, and Sun teams

Matter fact Trailblazer and Suns probably wouldn't make it past the 2nd round of this era of OVERPOWERED west teams

So na..... not all bytches are bad

Martha

No they wouldn't have

Y'all nikkas stay just saying this bullshyt.

Those Spurs teams didn't even have a super star.
