MAgic just did not play long enough

not only that but LeBron is just better at just about everything.

it is hard to compare against generations though

i am just glad that no one will EVER try and make the argument that Kobe Bryant is better than LeBron James......that would really get me going. lol......

Change your sig line...it's wrong....very wrong and you should be embarrassed

I wonder how Kareem or Wilt would do in the offensive minded NBA?

Lebron showed tonight why he is a much better player than MJ for sure

Probably not as well as you think.

Post play is not used as much for a myriad of reasons, one being rule changes that make it easier to guard post players.

Current rules favor dominant perimeter players more so than dominant post players.

Remember when Jordan's teams got swept in the finals?

Remember when Jordan's team played an all time great squad with 4 prime all stars and 4 future HOFers on it?

Me neither.

A self inflicted broken hand after game 1 probably explains that.

Not an excuse because he did it punching something, but it is a reason.

Keep the Excuses rolling. LeTots never stop with them. Why just now we are hearing about the "broken hand" and the brace didn't show up until last night?? Hand seemed fine to me. He shot pretty well for playing with a broken hand. ROFLMAO

I didn't know broke hands make you not play D or quit on your team either. Odd..

The Warriors have easily handled 13 of the 16 teams they faced in humiliating fashion.
Only 3 teams even gave them a scare (16 Thunder, 16 Cavs, 18 Rockets)
9 of 16 teams were swept or gentlemen swept including multiple 50 win teams.
The have gotten at least two blowout wins in every playoff series they have played.

Golden State might be the best team ever assembled, they are certainly playing their way into the convo.

They humiliate proud teams and run up the score all the time. They dont give a fuck. They like being the bad guys.
The core is young and there is no reason to think it stops.
The 91 Lakers, 92 Blazers, 93 Suns, or 96 Sonics would not win a single game versus them.
Lebron is not playing the "tomato-can teams" of the 1990s Western division in the finals.

There is zero shame in losing to this Warriors squad.
The Warriors should be overwhelming favorites to win it again next season.

Houston is a much better team than Cleveland. Much better.

Give me Paul, Capella, Gordon, Ariza and Tucker over almost anybody on the Cav roster.

So the joke is on you.

to be fair, Jordan was never sick or hurt or anything during the Finals.

Oh..

He did have the flu game, but there are theories out there that is was really the hangover game.

If true, playing with a hangover is 1000 times worse than playing with an hand injury sustained while punching Something. Because the hand thing requires a momentary lapse in judgment. The hangover requires many bad decisions over a period of time.

I keep on reading more excuses for LeBron... Let us know when you have something of substance, then we can take a look again, until then...well, you know
