Rookie
Voted Russell fukk the 60's
What you mean Shaq hated it? Obviously he prefers to dump himself in the post but he could easily play PnR with Bron...and it was effective with Kobe, especially since Kobe was a dangerous shooter
Wade was the better playoff player in 2011 probably would have won Finals MVP if Miami got through but since then it was all LeBron over the next 3 years and Wade/Bosh were pretty inconsistent. But you're right in that it isn't the same as Payton/Malone. I'm just referring to the franchise player thing...and regardless of how good his team was, out of the 4 Finals, he was favoured twice and not favourite twice and sure enough he went 2-2.
I'm not denying Kobe's greatness as a teammate I think he proved that in his late championship run about 6-7 years ago. But LeBron has always made his teammates better, giving me one or two exceptions to the rule does not make it a rule. He made Mo Williams and Daniel Gibson lethal shooters. He enhanced Ilgauskas' game. He's made something out of freaking Iman Shumpert. It's not a one man game, and LeBron's generally selfless nature has allowed teammates to flourish. When he needs to take over, he does.
Kobe never faced a team in the Finals as great as this Warriors team, whether you wanna admit it or not. You say 50 point games when Kobe hasn't even sniffed a 50 point game in the Finals...so there's really no reason to believe that at all.
sccit, how many of those quotes were before The Block in game 7?
and ron artest, the guy who saved kobe just as much as you like to say Ray saved lebron, says Bron is the greatest ever.
of course im postin the opinion of credible basketball goats and u go and post the quote of a man who says he learned how to cook crack at 13
difference between ron artest and ray allen threes, lakers woulda won witout that artest three goin in, it was jus icing on the cake, while ray allen misses that three, or 1 step further, duncan is in the game to rebound over bosh, or 1 step further, kawhi doesnt miss that free throw….its over for bron. not the same.
friendsHe's had 5 chances to repeat. Dude is 0ffaso why do you blame Duncan for never repeating if it wasnt his fault Ray hit that 3?
Kobe is no question Top 5. You can't be Top 5 unless you defend your title. Defending titles was seen as the ultimate form of greatness until Kobe started doing it on a regular basis.
The Ultimate Ether of Kobe winning without Shaq has had BSPN, Sports Media, Laker Haters and Kobe Stans(Haters) back peddling the last 5-6 years. Coaches and Peers(including Bron) have Kobe over Duncan and Bron. But cacs and c00ns take the word of the Media(same media who has criminalized Black people for over 100 years) as gospel. It's beyondfriends
Top 5by this logic Russell should be number one...7 time defending champ. 5x MVP. owned Wilts soul too.

so why do you blame Duncan for never repeating if it wasnt his fault Ray hit that 3?
