SPIN: If the Cavs win the Title is Lebron the GOAT?

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

3 for 6 in the finals. GOAT

Even if you want to say he'll win it all without any help, which DEFINITELY ain't true when you got J.R. Smith's NBA Jam-like shooting, Tristan's amazing rebounding, Delly's dirty plays and Mozgov's barbarian cac toughness, there's guys whose won it all with even LESS help.

Hakeem and Dirk come to mind. Wade to a certain extent, I even think Kobe's championship teams are around the same level as this Cavs team even if they don't have players as celebrated as Odom or Gasol.

Was with you till you said Kobes teams. 08-10 lakers would destroy these cavs comfortably

 

[CantStop]

MJ played in an era with 6 expansion teams





people made MJ a god to such a level that no one will be able to surpass him so ill let you cook

You're preaching to the choir and you don't even know it.

 

[LurkMoar]

Then he'll have 3 titles. Congrats

Horry the Goat

Well one of those expansion teams were the shaq and penny's magic, a team that would kill these cavs healthy or not. And wouldn't the fact that he played with expansion teams really only make a difference for the regular season what do you expansion teams really have to do with playing in the postseason?

 

[Ron Mexico]

How many times does Bron have to lose in the finals before people stop comparing him to MJ?

 

[Fade Runner 2049]

Horry the Goat

Five.

 

[Liquid]

getting to 5 straight NBA Titles is ridiculous anyway you want to look at it...might be 6 next season.

 

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

Wasn't another expansion team the Charlotte Hornets with Zo, LJ and mugsy

 

[Fade Runner 2049]

Apparently that number is unlimited

 

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

because of love and Kyrie?

What do you mean? I'm saying when mentioning him as goat.. You should consider he was the heavy favorite two years and never got out of the conference. One year was even when kg got injured

Those Laker teams were much deeper than this Cavs team I agree but with how the Cavs role players are playing since the Bulls series, each of them are having once in a lifetime performances borderline every night and the Laker teams then would just have some guys having a breakout game every now and then. The only solid rock off the bench was Odom. Even with tendinitis Kyrie was able to drop 25 on us.

 

[Ben.]

Naw, top 5 for sure tho

 

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

I think chances for LB to surpass MJ as the GOAT have longed passed. Too many finals losses. But if he wins vs GS with this roster, he will silence all (myself included) whom hesitate to put him top 5 all time. Winning a ring without Kyrie & Love is worth a lot of merit.

This is probably right imo

Ok but odom pau and Bynum just completely shyts on love Thomson and moz

 

[Kaypain]

you do realize he is playing in the weakest conference in nba history right?

ok. you don't.

well now you do.

Like the West hasnt had anybody other than the fukking Lakers and Spurs win championships the past 11 years

The record is 5-6 in The West's favor

East is weak right?


OK so, make another conference
