The Lebron comparisons to Jordan officially being shut down appreciation

[MR. Conclusion]

You see what happens when the Spurs focus on keeping Lebron out the paint? He's not comfortable with the idea of taking down a solid team from outside for an entire 7 game series.

What happens when his body and age finally catch up?

Do you realize what Bron did without Wade and not playing v. a supremely water down NBA in the late 90's.

Look at these rosters of their wins without Pippen who was out Nov and Dec:

Just keep hitting next. The NBA depth of talent was a joke. Have of these teams were starting guys who had no business in the NBA.

Now let's look at the roster of the teams the Heat faced to get to these Finals

Or the last finals. Or the two before that.

First off, that Utah team would get OBLITERATED by this Spurs team. Them nikkas wasn't even close to this Spurs team, so the comparison already doesn't hold. And are you honestly trying to say that 2014 Wade is better than 1998 Pippen? On what planet?

scottie was the same age as wade is now. Both missed plenty of games in the season. Jordan stepped up in the finals while Lecoward quit. And Utah would be a good series. Malone would kill duncan and utah would execute these nikkas to death

 

[ManBearPig]

LBJ would be KG in his days in Minnesota if he stayed in Cleveland.

 

[jwinfield]

You said it. Pippen was a top 3 player. You do realize MJ never won a playoff series without Pippen right. Pippen did the dirty work, MJ got all the shine. What a bytchass nikka.

MJ won his first playoff series Pip's rookie year.

Pip averaged 8ppg, didn't start a game

How did Lebron quit? Please explain this.

 

[Killer Instinct]

the revisionist history from the bron stans are gonna go in full effect

It's already starting. Beginning of the season, it was " Lebron is the GOAT."

Now the narrative is,


"Why do we have to keep comparing these guys to MJ?" and " Every great player was great in their own right. There can't be a unanimous number one."

 

[#1 pick]

Pippen is my favorite athlete ever, but Jordan was huge in Pip's development. Lebron cant develop anybody

The system had more to do with it than MJ. If this was the case most of players who played with MJ would have been stars or overachievers but outside of shooters (Jud, Paxson, Kerr, etc) that was never the case.

CP3, Duncan, Hakeem, Lebron, Magic makes guys better. MJ just helps because he draws so much attention from the defense like Kobe.

dawg wtf, look at the bobcats a team the heat just played in the playoffs

 

[Trece]

I know it's cool to hate Lebron but let's not be illogical. Lebron is NOT the reason they're getting blown out. He's played good to great this series he's just not had any help at all really. It's one man against a team that's like 10 deep.

lol nikka stfu

When you call yourselves the Heatles and boast that you have 4 HOF'ers on the floor then you don't get to complain about having no help. Bron Stans need to take a cold shower and rethink their manhood. Are moderators allowed to dyck ride and cat fight??

 

[Jplaya2023]

How did Lebron quit? Please explain this.

did you watch the game? When the game mattered in the first half Leinvinsible James biggest highlight was that deuce he dropped in the lockeroom

What happens when his body and age finally catch up?

spurs are daring him to shoot outside shots. He seems like he is afraid

 

[J-Fire]

Jordan and Pippen locking down n!ggas from 94 feet....they would have manu coughing up the ball and danny green would not get a good look at all.

Ron Harper could get it done against parker in the half court, Rodman could hold his own with duncan....and kukoc could be a wash on both sides against diaw. Yeah...luc longley ain't starting though.

 

[7oclock]

Pete Myers CBA player the year before replaces Michael Jordan. The Bulls lose 2 more games without MJ in the regular season.

regular season...what happened in the playoffs?

 

[MostReal]

Pippen is my favorite athlete ever, but Jordan was huge in Pip's development. Lebron cant develop anybody

Wade developed him
