Official NBA Playoffs thread v8 - June 1st hurry

[Almighty Angus]

Rating anything but how many all stars somebody played with in a particular year is ridiculous.


we going to pretend Pippen wasnt always one of the best players in the NBA on both ends, consistently?? sure. That Rodman isnt one of, if not the best individual rebounder and defenders of all time??? ok.


Could also look at it like LeBron consistently makes other guys look good. His game is more Magic than it is Jordan. Its hard to compare. He isnt that clutch shot killer. Even without that being his forte he still managed to score more points in less shots than MJ in the yoffs. He just cant be that create his own high quality shot at any moment type dude. Much like Shaq late in games, you prob dont want him to be that guy, every time. He needs a Kyrie type, a Wade type. Doesnt mean either guy isnt dominant.

If you count FT's, he's out shot Jordan by over 100.

I agree with everything else tho.

 

[wlu.29]

no, I will kindly not

when one guy is 6-0, 2 of which HE WAS THE ONLY ALL STAR

and the other is 3-4 soon to be 3-5, losing more than once with numerous all stars.....

6-0 should be the end of the argument period, but people like you force me to actually add perspective to see just how much above Bern that Jordan is

Your reading comprehension is bad

I've already said Jordan is better than Bern

But you keep on bringing up meaningless all star nods

As if at any point in time kyrie or love is better than pippen

These same people also ignore LeJuice has consistently played against D-League teams all year every year. He's the Emmit Smith of NBA

All of you shut the hell up

Woah... Emmitt Smith? The greatest RB of all time? How the hell does Emmitt get such hate lol? The guy never whined, never talked trash, just did fucking work, won Superbowls and takes care of people on and off the field.

But other than that I agree.

Stop missing the forest for the trees and making moot points

In reality tony kukoc is not really different from Kevin love

Love had 21 boards last night, correct?

Sure playa

 

[HunterSdVa29]

Pippen was a 'star' offensive player one year in his career, and he was not efficient at all
Hes closer to klay than kawhi is my pt

Theres a reason two of the title years he wasnt an all star.

 

[Almighty Angus]

Random stat I thought was interesting

Last night's 8 TO's, put James at third most TO's in finals history

Number 1, Magic Johnson with 10 in '80.

Number 2, Magic Johnson with 9 in '83.

 

[Almighty Angus]

Sure playa

Love played great, no clue why he's getting shit.

It's the 80 million dollar man (LeBron's fault), TT, that didn't showed up, that performance was atrocious.

 

[jcc3508]

life expectancy in the DR is 30 so in jcc's eyes kryie is literally on his deathbed

welcome back
glad to see you're still sticking to the same old crap

 

[HunterSdVa29]

Actually suprised the record is only 10, although they didnt count blocks for awhile in the day. Not sure if that was still considered a turnover or missed fga back then...

the year Jordan wasnt there to take most of the shats?? he was 22/9/5/3 on 49% and still a top individual defender.


yea, the guy was a dud.


You think Klay can put up those numbers as the number 1??

True, some people don't think of these things when looking back on stats.

 

[jcc3508]

berim don't waste your time with gunt on this one...

pippen is not all star caliber. After all, how can a guy that is consistently ranked as one of the greatest SF of all time be even considered near all-star talent??

We are living under the lone all-star way of thinking.

We all know highly coveted All-Star Kenyon Martin who according to Gunt was a destroyer would be a much better addition to any team than dumb old Pippen.

When I think of championships, all I think about is All-Star players.

 

[wlu.29]

was he in All Star in 91 or 98?

the answer is no, stop arguing points I'm not making, thank you sir

Why is all star the measure you're using to compare players value and contribution?

 

[Money509]

Cavs will win game 2 and go into CLE tied 1-1

 

[INeedARemedy]

Just realized game 2 is Sunday. Shitty

 

[HunterSdVa29]

You guys are hilarious. Carry on, i love when people argue pts im not making

Do you guys know how many players have won titles as the lone AS on a team?
Thats why im using that simple metric.

 

[Corona]

NBA is ridiculous. Every other sport plays just about every other day in the yoffs. NBGay takes a week off between series and like 3 days off between games. Absurd.

Not many.

But don't think Dirk falls into that category. He's not really an AS if you think about it
