2018 NBA FINALS THREAD: WARRIORS WIN 3RD TITLE IN 4 SEASONS

[leavemeglazzies]

Damn my dude still mad

Fact of the matter is, fmvp or no fmvp, this era of warriors’ basketball belongs to steph. Dude was the impetus of this dynasty and is still the engine of this team. This guy just won at the highest level of basketball for the third time and cemented his legacy as an all time great, you really think he’s trippin over FMVP?

Judging by the obviousness of him desperately trying to add to his box score well into the 4th quarter with the Cavs down by 20, yes, I do.

Who said that he wasn't an all time great? But how high on a list of all-time greats is he? Objectively speaking, how high do you think that a player who keeps winning rings, but doesn't have a single FMVP can rank?

For the record, I was really hoping that ****rry would get FMVP. Anything to take away from that coward Durant.

He still has time to turn it around. But if he finishes his career with 4-5 rings yet zero FMVPs, well he's not going to rank top 10 that's for sure.

 

[drewsone]

Yeah Wardell def wanted the fmvp lol

 

[Mr Dink]

Curry should've won FMVP IMO but I was cool with Durant getting it.

 

[QU!K]

Curry didn't deserve finals MVP

Barkley: I don't want to hear anymore LeBron vs. Jordan debates

"The next person who walks up to me and says LeBron James is as good as Michael Jordan or competes like Michael Jordan, I'm just going to slap the hell out of you on the spot. And I'm going to take my chances with the judicial system."

He aint going to do ****.

 

[leavemeglazzies]

i think bron had already accepted the outcome of this series well before the end of game 4.

Anyone with half a brain cell accepted the outcome of the following seasons the day the coward Durant signed with a team that was already favored to win the title before he signed with them.

It just shows what a warrior LeBron is and how he'll take on any challenge, no matter how impossible it is. He knew that he would be going against a team that had 4 players that were unquestionably better than any of his teammates, and that he had no real chance. He could've easily folded, but there he was, giving it his all and carrying the Cavs to victory in that game 7 against the Celtics.

 

[MVP]

Yeah, all those series where Russ shot about 50% from the field.

Talking about the stat padding in Ls which y'all love to point out.

The real reason he is salty about someone saying LeBron is better than Jordan is because he knows that LeBron has at the very least a case over Jordan. If someone told him that Rodney Hood was better than Jordan, he wouldn't let him upset him because Rodney Hood has no case whatsoever.

If he really wanted to make it look like comparing LeBron to Jordan is a joke, he wouldn't even dignify it with a response. But you can't not dignify it with a response, can you Chuck?

 

[MVP]

LaMarcus Aldridge got more wins vs GS than Bron did this season...wild

 

[Lovetohate3000]

Everyone ranks Kareem as a goat and he ain't always win finals mvp. Dude won 2 of em.

 

[atlsfinest]

You realize that players can play great individually and not win, right?

You also realize that you can be the best player in a series and not win, too?

This is getting disturbing.

 

[leavemeglazzies]

To be fair, LeBron did average 34-8-9 on 53% shooting, Which is far better than any one of Kobe's Finals series.

Well, he averaged 34.0, 8.5 and 10.0 to be exact. And if you wanted to round it off, it would be 34-9-10.

no one getting salty about rodney hood or anyone else because hood isnt getting undue credit/praise. lebron is.

 

[seasoned vet]

Twitter is still mad

Just saw a tweet saying Kerr doesnt deserve the 3 titles with the Warriors but Mark Jackson does... lolwat?!

Mark Jackson built that team

hes the one that got them boys confidence up when everyone doubted ‘jump shooting teams’

i also heard that it was Mark Jackson that favored Draymond over David Lee, something he butted heads over management about, but i dont know how true that is

its too bad that his mouth and religion got in the way of his success with that team

 

[atlsfinest]

Everyone ranks Kareem as a goat and he ain't always win finals mvp. Dude won 2 of em.

To be fair, they difference in finals MVPs is the primary reason people put Jordan above Kareem.

 

[Lovetohate3000]

This is getting disturbing.

dude sounds so angry . Not that serious

Someone is definitely mad that this thread isn't 100% LeBron haters, but only 99.9% instead.

 

[niceshoes247]

What’s up

 

[seasoned vet]

Kobe fans are a weird bunch. To be honest with you there a lot of "Laker fans" who are Kobe fans first. There's a large contingent of Laker fans who don't want LeBron solely because they feel like he might infringe on Kobe's legacy. I'm dead serious.

we knew that already

we ALLLLL knew that

its them that are in denial about it

i know Boston fans that will never let Bron make it because they feel it wasnt his turn yet.

and when the torch gets passed from Bron you’ll have a legion of fans that will forever hate Curry/ Durant because they feel like they skipped a step

****s childish

 

[seasoned vet]

he only understands that concept if its Kobe

Russ at least won A game

 

[B Sox]

Russ at least won A game

He actually won 2 against the Jazz. Quite the accomplishment.

 

[Kaleo15]

Poor, poor ****rry. The sad thing is that had they picked up someone that was just slightly better than Harrison Barnes instead of going overkill with Durant, ****rry would've had 2 Finals MVPs right now and everyone would be talking about how he's the best player in the world.

Instead he isn't even referred as the best player on his own team, which is a team that was built around him and his skill set. Now he's stuck giving lame, politically correct "I don't care about no Finals MVP, as long as we win" answers, where he's lying through his teeth.

You do know that guy you’re talking about is not only the best player on the Warriors... but he’s also the best player in the league.

That same player is also the player LeBron was scared to guard and wanted no smoke with.

Curry has the same amount of Championships as LeBron, greatest shooter of all time, which is not debatable, while LeBron got kicked out of the GOAT argument.

Why you mad at Curry?

I'm a Lakers fan first. I don't like Kevin Durant and I still think he's a snake, but if he joined the Lakers I'd be rooting for that dude every night.

Kobe's legacy is secured and all that stuff is in the past. I want to win, and I don't really care who helps us do that.
