Why BK still got Lopez? Trade deadline weapon I'm guessing?

Funny how Nike already has the KD's in the GSW colorway 4 days after the announcement.

Wouldn't take long to make a one-off, they're so big, I'm sure they have all the means to make a pair here.

No draft pick to tank for. He's getting paid Joakim Noah money so he's on a good deal. Poor guy has had to deal with really really bad coaches. He would kill for what Boogie has gone through. Still never complains and plays hard.

How many times Jordan faced eliminations? There's the answer
- 87,866
- 50,387
Jordan never lost an elimination game though..... cuz he barely played any.
Only thing that matters when we get to that point. How many Ls Lebby got in that category.

Everyone seems to forget that most of those Ls came in the first round.
Also in 1990, Jordan lost in the ECF to Detroit (4-3)
Jordan: 31 points
Scottie Pippen: 10 points.
Common misconception that Jordan won alone even when stars didnt show up. Nobody wins alone, and you cant put the blame on one guy when its a team game. 30 years later nobody understands. You can drop 50 in a game 7 and lose and people will blame you and start this "excuse" narrative because youre a star. Compare eras and PER and advanced stats, this still applies to today. The "choker" card is thrown around too much. And yes, the media criticized Jordan and called him selfish before he won a chip.

MJ did lose his share of elimination games throughout the 80's and those Piston years. What separates MJ and LeBron from the post season is that when MJ was on, he never lost (besides 95 when he came back late into the season). LeBron has yet to get into that "groove". That's where MJ shined the brightest. LeBron is a dominate player, but he hasn't been consistently dominate for an extended period of time throughout the postseason like MJ.
LeBron still has time to get to the level. But I will say, if LeBron does beat this GS team in the Finals next year, you can make a very good argument for placing him in the GOAT status. He's had some signature moments in his career, but he needs to consistently do it for 3-4 years. LeBron needs to 3peat.

Still kills me to this day, if it wasnt for 2011, He wouldve had a 3peat under his belt. Dude should have 4 rings and wouldve been no doubt 2nd of all time status.
