2017 NBA Playoffs Thread - CLE @ BOS Game 5 on TNT

I don't think it's in order. At least I hope it's not.

Also Wilt is in two tiers and there's someone named David Robertson.

I kind of think that Dominique Wilkins should be above Wade, Wilkins is constantly left off of lists, he was really, really fun to watch , especially against MJ.

 

[art vandelay]

And then what Tiers does Karl Malone fall in, hell, even Moses Malone, what about Stockton?

 

[drewsone]

Stockton = tier 4?

 

[retro23j]

Where does Karl Malone rank? I always glaze past his stats but there he is at #2 on the scoring list with 2 regular season and all star MVP's.

I fudged up

Wilt is in Tier 2

Does anyone know when games 1 and 2 of the western conference finals will be?

Hell no. Coming from an 80's baby

also an 80s baby and I think that Nique is criminally underrated. I am not talking Clippers, Spurs, Celtics Nique, but Atlanta Nique.

My homie's pops hit me with this a few years back when I was arguing with some dude about MJ being GOAT over Lebron.

If all these are accurate, somebodies got some apologizing to do to the Captain.

Ferdinand Alcindor Jr > Bron

Moses is tier 2 and it shouldn't be a question

 

[MVP]

Does anyone know when games 1 and 2 of the western conference finals will be?

Game 1 May 14th if the Spurs/Rockets ends in 6, May 16th if it ends in 7.

This is Lebron's most stacked team by far. He got almost everything he wanted. After that Christmas day game, folks were proclaiming a back to back run for the Cavs.

2012-13 HEAT>This Cavs team

Not even in the same sentence in regards to defense.. Heat's defense that year was crazy.

That was probably Lebron's best season

Defensively yeah. Depth-wise? This team.

Interesting they leave out career games played, KAJ - 1,560 and MJ 1,072. Also leave out NBA Finals MVPs, KAJ - 2 and MJ 6

 

[Hank Scorpio]

It's unfair to compare Kareem to MJ.

Kareem played close to 6 more seasons than MJ, but MJ is only 6000 points away from him. I don't think anyway will argue the "value" MJ put up with his short career. LeBron will probably eclipse everyone, but with more games. That alone should resonate with this debate.

 

[tyevvyotcu]

Bron is already top 3-5 ever

 

[ill steelo]

Possession-by-possession breakdown on Ryan Anderson at the 5


Held up solid on post ups (partly b/c LMA was fading away a few times ) few wide open threes given up and of course....

San Antonio did very well on dribble drives . Picked on Ry's deficiencies as a help defender & rim protector.

Gotta give Trez some burn. Almost a 7'4" wingspan, big leaper. He should help.

Definitely can't run 7 guys again.

Kareem played a hunnid years tho

With just 3 rings and a losing record in the NBA Finals...I'd have him just making the top 5. I know some people may over look those short coming with his stats and consecutive NBA Finals appearances, but I cannot give him the pass.

Just my opinion though.

Hell, I think Duncan had the better career over Kobe and LeBron. But I love Duncan

That's fine but using rings is such lazy analysis. You're really holding 2007 and 2015 against him?
