JR's pops totally no-sold that whole speech.

 

[nillah]

Of all the Cavs-Agers that came and went, K. Jack was the realest.

Congrats, fam...I am genuinely happy for fans like you...but it's still fuck you, Dan Gilbert for me. Fucking baby throws a tantrum and still eventually gets his way.

America.

Owner of the decade

 

[ryutaro's mama]

outside of LBJ's poor jumper there is nothing basketball-related that Kobe was ever better at than lbj is

Except for winning championships at an above .500 percentage.

 

[Iadien]

Is Lebrons performance vs curry on par with Hakeem taking David robinson's soul after he won the mvp or is it not comparable since they really don't go head to head much?

Lebron AND Kyrie outplayed Curry.

 

[Wendel Clark]

why are people talking about kobe when we have lebron lol

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Paul Pierce isn't.

tell me where paul pierce touched you scooter

[MaxHouse]

my friend is still saying that Curry is still a better player than Michael Jordan

should I say anything?

 

[Nesotenso]

This has got to be one of the most disappointing ends of a great season in any sport. Congrats to Cleveland. Would have liked Golden State so that they wouldn't have an asterisk on their regular season record.

You're no longer friends. That's the truth of the matter.

I'd be a multi time champion too if I played with Shaq Prime.

Brilliant, as always.

Not so sure. Hakeem and David played the same position. In fact David was actually bigger and stronger, which made the punking Hakeem gave him that much more impactful.

[Azzurri]

Brother was at country concert at Ohio stadium and Luke Bryan(famous country singer) was giving the updates in between sets.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Gooden and Hughes too

Ugh. Dumpster tier teammates. Times were hard. Kobe is lucky to have been in an organization that could surround him with so much talent. I hope Lakers-GAF is always appreciative of their organization.

Still? He never was. Your friend is a lost cause

MJ never sucked in the finals. Curry has been mediocre in two straight.

 

[Champagne]

lbj would be above a .500 percentage if he had shaq's back to hop on too

kobe stans conveniently never like to talk much about the fact that kobe wasn't the best player on 3/5 of his championships, but w/e lol because championships don't even really have that much bearing in these discussions anyway

like I said, kobe was literally better at 1 basketball-related thing

outside of that Lebron owns him in everything

 

[entremet]

Kinda helps when you have a top 5 center at his prime

[DontBeThatGuy]

this post is basically the go-to formula for people that don't actually watch/understand basketball but invariably consume a lot of nba-related content in the form of espn talk shows, bleacher-report articles, and r/nba responses

outside of LBJ's poor jumper there is nothing basketball-related that Kobe was ever better at than lbj is

I would trust Kobe more when the game is on the line. I also would say he has better handles, better moves, and could seemingly adapt his game a bit better the older he got. (like Jordan had to). He was more versatile on offense.

Regardless, giving the choice, I'd choose Lebron to build a team around...Probably.

 

[Dr.Acula]

Someone should send this to LeBron and ask if he knows what movie this is from.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

MJ never sucked in the finals. Curry has been mediocre in two straight.

Indeed.

But I don't know if we've seen a better regular season in the history of the game. His range will be the stuff of legend.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

I'd be a multi time champion too if I played with Shaq Prime.

I should hope LeBron would win a few playing with Prime Wade and Bosh. See how fucking ridiculous your response is?

Also, if you think Shaq wins 3 in a row without Kobe...smh...even Shaq doesn't believe that.

at his prime there was never a better big man in this league than shaq

there honestly might never be

 

[WesternHeretic]

This crying Jordan thing has no boundaries.

LeBron James > Larry Bird

These people need to go back and watch a bunch of old MJ footage. I swear either they've never really seen him, or they somehow forgot.

 

[yuraya]

Lebron is reaching closer and closer to Jordan status. If he wants to surpass Jordan he is gonna have to do one of two things before he retires.

Come play for the Warriors while taking a pay cut and win 5-6 more rings. Would probably average a triple double while doing so. That would be a team that would forever cement themselves for decades to come.

or

Come play for the Knicks and bring a title to the Mecca of Basketball. That would be just as big of an accomplishment as what he just did for Ohio. If he can get Paul over there with Melo they would be a legit contender.

Spoiler

Porzingis mvp.

I don't think he could win 3 more in Cleveland. And even if he did most people would still not put him ahead of MJ. He would need to accomplish something bigger in scale. He could always go back to Miami but I don't think they have much of a team with Wade being old and Bosh's health so questionable.

They probably weren't born.

He had six final MVPs.

I only saw the last three. He was pretty good!

He did suck for a game or two, but never for the series. And even when he did suck on offense his defense for the most part was still top notch.

Alright, well, there's no arguing this if you're not going to use logic and reason.

Yes.

i'm pretty sure it's just young'ins who have never seen Jordan play. Jordan was seriously like a god on the court.

LeBron James > Larry Bird

but Larry Bird could shoot.

 

[random25]

FTFY.

Nobody is saying Shaq will win without Kobe. Shaq is just the best player on that threepeat by a good margin, no question.

Magic is still ahead of him.
