[Build That Wall]

JR's mistake at the end of regulation reminded me of Webber's infamous timeout call.

Unless the cavs win this series, webber could be off the hook. Complete and total brain fart by JR

Iverson's 48 points performance vs. a Prime Shaq and Kobe ranked as one of the best performances by an under dogs in the NBA Finals.

That was a truly legendary game by AI. It's the stuff legends are made of.

It took the Warriors the refs and Jr to beat just LeBron. This is the most overrated team of all time.

[[ DUBBZZ ]]

Nah. They're the opposite.

Kobe's an asshole but he was a great teammate. He'd yell and cuss at his teammates but He made sure everyone did their job and was on point when the time came.

Lebron wants to be the nice guy. He tries to be everyone's friend and he gets his teammates to rely on him too much. He does this corny ass shit like dancing on the sidelines or he dresses his teammates up in suits. Then they end up relying on him during these high pressure situations and they don't know what to do. That's why they look lost when he's not on the floor. He racks up his stats tho while they get the blame.

I repeat my comment.

Yeah, hill is catching no heat at all because everyone is talking about jr.

And no one talking about the ridiculous charge/flop attempt.

[Lomadeaux]

Damn Curry looks like a little boy compared to LeBron.

It's almost like if the Cavs win, Curry's mom and little daughter will leave with LeBron to go to his house. LOL.

.... you mean... the other way around?

He is the greatest all around player in NBA history. And one of the few players who can lead a weak team in the NBA Finals.

Again, that doesn't make you the greatest in a team sport, it's not a jack of all trades contest, and that's why many who understand the sport don't even try to be that even if they could. A team with Dennis Rodman doesn't need you to get 15 rebounds, a team with Steve Nash or John Stockton doesn't need you to get 15 assists or to drive the ball. Jordan was needed to get a stop, get a steal, deflate the other team with a run, make his free throws, score the game winning shots, score 30 a game and he made all of that enough to win it all throughout his prime. Lebron literally builds his teams so he can do everything, because he needs to control the ball to be successful, he's never proven to be able to do anything offensively without the ball like a Kevin Durant can which is why Durant is easy to accomodate in any team even if they already have primary ball handlers and shooters.

And if you think about statspadder just see Kobe Bryant from 2004 to 2006.

And the sad part Kobe is a career 24.9 scorer in the NBA while LeBron is averaging 27.3 while scoring is not even his biggest strength.

LOL, Kobe never stat padded, he was in the ****ing triangle ffs...he was a scorer, his role was to shoot a lot, that's not stat padding, that's literally doing what your role is.

And again with the averages you just prove that Lebron's longevity is what makes him stand out, because Kobe needed 2 years to build himself up to an NBA standard and then his body gave out on him at the end. NBA has **** PED testing, so "medical" advancement plays a role in that. You see that throughout every sport nowadays...everyone is superman even after testosterone levels should go down.

I repeat my comment.

Actually Robert Horry said Kobe didnt make his teammates any better.

But you would know better then him of course.

Wait a minute, you actually think that because he played in the triangle and his role is to score, that every shot he took was a good shot???

No one's taken more bad shots then Kobe in the history of basketball.

Thats why Kobe leads the league in most missed field goals in history.

Year in and year out, guys who's role on the team is to score the bakset, scored more points then Kobe and did it on way fewer shots then Kobe.

Phil Jackson actually wrote a book about how hard it was to get through to Kobe what a good shot was and what a bad shot was.

Jacking up bad shots at a record pace is the very definition of stat padding.

Lmao, this is gold i tell you GOLD!!!
