The inserting of Westbrook into everything is becoming too much

...  Is he the new superfan favorite?  Just stop.  Yesterday he was Curry (sorry he's not Curry) today he's LeBron (sorry he's not LeBron).  Yes, he was a fun regular season story but come on now.  Everyone rational knows he's great but a rung below the best guys.
 
again he's def in the Top 5 that i have seen, However i missed Magic/Bird/Kareem... for those who did you have those three Mike, Kobe, Duncan, Shaq etc etc Him being top 5 isn't as clear cut as people have made it. All those guys have the stats & Wins to back up their status also.

My top 5

MJ
Kareem
Lebron
Russell
Magic

If Bron wants another ring...he ain't gonna get it done in Cleveland. They capped out.

Decision 3 coming soon
 
I love Russ but Lebron is shooting 55% FG and 38% from 3. Terrible comparison. :lol

he's shooting about that percentage or worse in the second half of these games, the second half where the Warriors usually are pulling away and the Cavs need their superstar to be a superstar the most. My point behind bringing that up is that Russ is burned for putting up stats that didn't help the overall outcome of the game, Lebrons stats are the exact same things. they look nice but just like in years past it's another one of those series where you look at the stat sheet see amazing numbers, rewatch the game & realize there wasn't any critical stretches where LBJ imposed his will on the game.

I've had people argue me that LBJ is the same class of Scoring as Kobe & MJ... When they need him to show that the most this series he hasn't
I've had people tell that LBJ is one of the greatest defenders of all time, In the Finals when Another superstar is a HUGE mismatch for anyone else on the team... He's guarding the 4th/5th best offensive option
I've had people tell me that the best part of LBJ's game is his "ability to make others better" & how much "hero" ball doesn't pay off... when they need this most.... he's Playing Iso ball shooting those trash *** jumpers of his.

What i'm being told & what i'm witnessing in this series again aren't adding up. We have all this talk about skillsets and what he CAN do, but this is yet again ANOTHER series where what he CAN do isn't being put to the forefront. It seems as if he picks & chooses when he's gonna use all his talent and that has been & forever will be his Achilles heel

In an alternate reality, I'd love to see LBJ join the Lakers to see every one of their fans (or GSW fans. I'm unsure where their allegiance lies) eat crow.

what they hell would they be eating crow about?  All that would do is prove their point.  Lebron quits when it gets tough and has been chasing rings for the last decade.

I guess in this scenario, it would be to make the Lakers relevant again.

Not only win a ring, but I don't think they will get any better. Their 51-31 record has some legit merit to it and if LBJ declines even a little bit, (And after the playoff run that he's had, 7 straight finals, a playoff decline is inevitable I think) they may not make it out the east.

I agree though, him and championships in Cleveland are done

Really dont understand this... How come he didnt quit after 2011 and after 2015? Specially after 2015 when he had a one and done deal.

Well half his team was injured for 2015 and 2011 was his first year in Miami.  Was he even able to leave in 2011?  I thought he signed like a 4 year contract.  I could be wrong on that.

How ridiculous would it be if Lebron hamstringed the cavs with TT, Shump, and JR's terrible contracts then leaves after next year?

People would re-burn their newly bought jerseys.
 
knew this day would come for the cavs...............thats what happens when you trade away a talent like wiggins.

wiggins = less money, another big name that isnt love......but patience is lebrons weak trait obviously.

Meh, they got a ring and 3 finals appearances. They made the right decision.
 
someone please show wiggins statline this season and the steady increase....i believe he ended the season at 22-23 ppg / 5 / 2

Russ was playing against Harden with role players that can shoot. Lebron is playing against 4 all stars, 2 top 5 scorers in the league. Like I said I love Russ, I feel he gets a lil too much slander at times but these are not comparable situations at all. :lol
 
How do y'all feel about the warriors really winning the next 5 championships? Will it deteer you guys from watching? It will be pretty lame for everyone if you are not a warriors fan
