And this is why LeBron will be considered the GOAT in 10-15 years by many folks. Didn't watch MJ then LeBron is the greatest player you've ever seen, especially if he finishes with 3-4 rings and 5-6 MVPs.

I am sure most that talk about bird here didn't watch him back then. they just understand what he did and researched.

Dude is only 21. He was ~6 last time Mike was in Chicago.
Most of the younger guys only remember Kobe Shaq and Duncan.
My android predictive text suggests 'fundamental' when I type 'Duncan'......dope.
so THAT'S why lakers age is suddenly neo heat age

Its already happening though. You have folks who watched MJ and still say LeBron is better. Even Kobe homers do the same. Its quite fascinating to witness.

Hey man 3 finals appearances in a row and 2 losses is not a good look. The one win being in a lockout season is even more lame.

Finally got to watch the game and yeah alot of that shit this morning was bullshit. I got the impression that miami controlled most of this game and our offense looked better than its ever looked vs Indy, outside of those blowouts.
Also, Boshs game wasn't even that bad outside of those dumb fuck 3s. His mid range was on point.
On Bron and his fourth, I think he waited a bit too late to try and impose his scoring but honestly it seemed to me that he was doing everything else. He was getting tripled at times and giving players great looks. I don't know what crack Vag and Mama are smoking but to say he was 07/11 bad is bullshit. Could have been alot better obviously but all this narrative bullshit they were spinning is pretty fucking stupid.
Spurs perimeter D is alot better than Indys but that rim protection is just as lacking as I said, compared. We were able to shoot 60 percent on drives but were able to get fewer of them because we couldn't penetrate the backcourt.
Overall it was a great game and Parker is a fucking beast.

80s legends and on have the benefit of footage and YouTube. Their greatness is safe.
Except MJ himself said Kobe's the only player who's earned the right to be in the discussion.

but at least the Big Three got something to hang up there in the rafters with Marino and Jordan. even if it gets an asterisk.

Considering how MJ always seems to be stuck on ring count I'm thinking he's talking "Greatness". If he legitimately thinks that Kobe is the only one who could hang with him since he's played then he's as dumb as he dresses.
cant wait til bosh gets his jersey retired. such an honor to be put next to marino. maybe he'll decorate it with flowers. so kawaii~
Yeah because Toronto sports history is so fucking rich
I'm enjoying every bit of theignorantus jealousy cake

MJ would have LeBron's entire game figured out faster than LeBron can figure out how to stretch his headband enough to fit hit massive HGH head.

I'm going to have to accept the player evaluation skills of the guy who picked Kwame, Ammo, Biyombo, and Augustin.

MJ already said he couldn't guard bron driving to the hole. Honestly it's pippen or bust.

it'll be used on Mike Miller or Haslem, though.
I'm pretty sure only bad things have happened since you've made guarantees
So I think it's about time to stop

Yeah let's amnesty 100 million dollars, sign another max and pay the lux tax. Mick wouldn't trip...
But he has a wife and kids so Idk what you're talking about. I'm pretty sure he's a closet nerd like us all. I wish I could be computer coder like he is. Someone hire him in 2k so he can make that game less shitty and ph33 and spank smokey across all the platforms.

I talk ball more than you. The difference between you and I is I'm not trying to impress some insignificant 'age' hierarchy by communicating like little Kenny Fisher in Cant Hardly Wait.
What are you babbling about? kenny fisher? can't hardly wait? what is this nonsense
And please inform us of your favorite team. You've been posting all this time and I must admit I don't really look into your posts as much as you do mine, but I have yet to see who you root for. Please don't tell me you are an emwitus tier or even a konex tier.
Now that you mention it, I'm pretty sure I can't remember the last time I saw a significant basketball post from Nori Chan over there
What would you like to know ph33? Why I choose the spurs in 7? How the lakers can improve over the offseason? why i hate david stern? my distaste of lebron james? i am here for your answers sir

Can't hardly wait reference?.....we need to have a house meeting y'all.
That was such a dumb quote. But oddly the rest of his comments are on par (minus Pippen stopping James no problem). I think Rodman would take Bosh out of his game easy, and outrebound the hell out of him. Pippen would be hell on Wade, especially as turnover prone as he is now. That's enough to win fairly handily. And they were a very smart team. But no way Lebron would be average, because he complains about calls. That's the NBA's culture today, he still would have been the biggest, strongest player pound-for-pound of that era minus Shaq.
The bigger question would be his mental toughness vs. the Bulls, who broke the will of a lot of great teams. I have a hard time imagining any small ball team beating the 90's Bulls. Their weakness was against strong post play and great centers.
Where are those heathens?

fuck. I can get the top spot by sunday
Probably not. Bulls as good as their defense is, besides the lack of scoring balance, aren't a high IQ enough team to beat Miami (hi Boozer). They fall for the Wade pump fakes and Rose doesn't know how to handle pressure D from Lebron. Not to mention they let Bosh go off, and Chalmers always gets his big plays. Miami it just feels like owns Bulls until some lineup reshaping takes place. Spurs play them so much smarter.
:'( I feel bad I only remember the '93 Finals on. That's bizarre to think about.
