The modern nba also wouldn’t have Can Merjele guarding him in the finals lmao

As opposed to DeShawn Stevenson and others Guarding Lebron in 2011 , when he averaged less than 18 points in that series, scoring 8 points in game 5. 8 fucking points in an NBA Finals game .

I thought they were going to arrest him for that , for endangering a child.

Merjele was a stud physically and great in the open court. Not sure what you point is with him. How many players on Miami are better than peak career Merjele?

Um, didn't he leave and only come back when they had Irving and a much deeper team? He left when they were shitty and only came back when they were better.

Can't you see how this fits the pattern of him picking his spots?

Players have gotten smarter and arent inclined to waste their careers with shit orgs. Yes, he left scoring 40ppg because they did fuck all to support him, and it took one single good player to get him to go back lol.

Oddly enough, theyre dog shit without him. Shocking.

Short guy king imo

You also have to take into account that Juice had a bye to the finals 8/10 years and was blatantly allowed to hit the lab leading up to them lmao.

The only reason he had a bye was because he’s the goat, it’s not like the nfl where he gets seeded automatically because his division sucks lol

 

[Vogg]

Lol at assists. Most basketball scientists view that as a worthless stat as we all know. LeBron had shooters to pass to unlike MJ and barely averaged more anyways.

If only LeBron had more help! Lmao.

Top 75 players Jordan played with: 2

Top 75 players LeBron played with: 5 (and we all know Kyrie should be above part-time plumbers like Cousy so should be 6)

Basketball scientist? Sounds like another word for nerd. As we all know nerd stats mean nothing compared to talent.

Playing the cRaps might as well be a bye lmao

Urite my bad lmao @wlu.29

Exactly, he picked some good spots and did some behind the scenes recruiting. Good thing he was able to talk some quality players into joining him or he might not have won shit.

Its a good thing tampering doesn’t apply to LeFlop

Giannis could do it too but good luck getting some one to want to play in Milwaukee. Lmao

He only came back because the team was better. He bailed when the grass was greener.

I'm not saying James isn't great, it's just that he will always be noted as a bit of a carpetbagger. He always wanted to stack the deck before he played.

Meh. He wanted to win, and he did every single place hes been. And, thats because fans and commentators are entirely stupid and pretend Championships negate individual greatness.

I'd suggest the opposite, that championships are considered a mark of greatness. I don't think James would be in the conversation for GOAT if he hadn't won a championship. Deservedly so, he is a great player and a physical specimen.

Still, I'd pick Jorden first. Larry Bird said it best: If god could play basketball he would play like Michael Jordan.

 

[The Servant]

Can't wait for tonight! Shits gonna be hot, honestly they match up so well. Hope the 3 point shooting is relatively even so we don't get too many blow outs.

 

[Sweater of AV]

GS in 6. LeBron heads to GS, misses a championship next year, and takes his talents to Toronto.

Dubs in 5 or 6 ......... likely 5
