Lebron plows through the East. Had the best team for 8 year (Miami, then Cavs) won 3 rings. But when he loses we hear every excuse in the book about it...all stemming from “the team” that destroys everyone in the eastern conference lol. STOP iT!!!!!

 

[nerdymcflyguy]

Speaking to these LeBronites it's like, "So you're basically saying the only reason Jordan is better than LeBron is 6 championships so you think Robert Horry is better too, right??? Checkmate haters."

C'mon man

do u have the Cavs winning this year? Yes or No?

 

[nerdymcflyguy]

If u ain’t got the Cavs winning this year why are we talking? do they play for stats or to win the championship? These fanatics living vicariously through Lebron James...his kids don’t even do this. Grown man fangirling lol.

LeBron has the most talent in the East, but when they don't play well we say he needs more help. When they do play well, it's credit to LeBron.

Exactly. People are acting like MJ was just some scrub riding coat tails and lebron is better at everything. These are also not factoring the inevitable downward slide in statistics that Lebron is going to have when he gets into his mid-30s.

Player 1 career averages

30.1 PPG 6.2 RPG 5.3 APG Defensive Rating 102

Player 2 career averages

27.2 PPG 7.4 RPB 7.2 APG Defensive Rating 103

Just let Lebron play his career before forcing this narrative. He is an incredible basketball player and I would say he is the second best player of all time and that is not at all a knock against him.

No, but what's your point?

 

[Lovetohate3000]

People say they are tired of the LeBron and Jordan arguments yet all they talk about is LeBron and Jordan.

Just make a separate thread about it already. That's one of the problems with nt sports forum.
Everything is one or two general threads because there aren't enough people to sustain different individual topic threads.

I’m glad we ain’t talking LeBron and Kobe. I’m glad it’s a mutual consensus that LeBron >>> Kobe.

Horry >

Cavs GM Koby Altman intends to meet with Hood soon to discuss why he refused to go into the game and to get his side of the story, one source told The Athletic. Hood has struggled with stiffness in the past and, given how long he was sitting, the Cavs want to give him an opportunity to tell his side of the story. But according to multiple people who witnessed the exchange, this had nothing to do with stiffness and everything to do with a young player pouting.

For him, of all people, to refuse to go into a game during garbage time is grounds for a fine and suspension for conduct detrimental to the team. Lue hung in there with Hood when most other coaches would’ve gone away from him long ago. When these playoffs began, an opposing executive texted me “(Hood) is not built for this,” meaning the postseason. Now we’re seeing why

Cavs are the fourth seed they arent the best TEAM in the east. They were suppose to be swept by the bucks so everything else is a blessing.

The Cavs better get out of that 3rd seed and if they still there they better hope Milwaukee moves out of that 6 seed.

I'd bet on the Bucks cleaning them up in 6.

This myth of Lebron being able to "skate" through the East is about to be shattered. People forget...it was Lebron + Wade + Bosh who cakewalked through the East. Lebron + Kyrie for the first year in Cleveland....Lebron + Kyrie + Love for the next 2.

Lebron + Clarkson + Hood (lol)....or whoever you think are there core guys...is a STARK difference from what Lebron has been going to war with. This squad is ALOT closer to Lebron's squads during his 1st stint in Cleveland where it wasn't a cakewalk.

Love is coming back. I don't think the Bucks have enough offense even though they've been better since Kidd got fired. If anybody is taking Cleveland out, it's the Raptors.

fam....bucks can clean their clocks. hell, main reason bucks have lost to the cavs in the past few yrs is solely on kyrie going god mode and hating them.

never forget he said he likes playing the bucks and how intense the games are and how they make him want to get up for them....and how...he wouldn't mind playing them in the post season....'IT'D BE A FUN 4 GAMES'



fam...these bucks...with freak growing even more and Ferrari Bari byke....they primed to knocks cleveland off. It's literally bron and love and a bunch of bench *****s lmao

not saying they will...but fam...if they could pull that off...lawd...the chaos.

Who would OKC trade Russ for though

That's a big reason why Irving left.

 

[lamekilla]

Ferrari bari headahhhhh lmfao @freeze

 

[smedroc]

Kawhi straight up for Russ....

 

[shotsrangout]

@darthska

Please lock this **** up. We been talking about LeBron vs mj vs Kobe for 1048 pages. The majority of us don't care anymore. Lock this up and make a new thread for that discussion and one for playoffs discussion. This thread has been ruined.

 

[airmax1fanatic]

Kawhi straight up for Russ....

That's not happening. Kawhi wants to play for a big market. I suspect either LA or Philly if he's not staying in SA.

 

[100027]

Kawhi straight up for Russ....

And then Kawhii leaves? Oh yeah that would be a nice capper to the Presti era.

 

[junglejim]

Not a lebron fan, but this is funny

 

[buc em]

Kawhi straight up for Russ....

How does this help either of their situations? Then Kawhi is on a terrible roster with washed Melo making $28 mill as his next best player and Westbrook in the Spurs system that fits his playing style probably worse than any team in the league

 

[smedroc]

It makes no sense of course...

I just want to see how Russ would react to playing for that kind of coach/franchise.

You think Riley would tolerate Russ in Miami?? They kind of in desperate need of a star player.
