So you both have one a piece "since you've been a fan"

And what team has a better chance of winning another one?
I'm shocked you offered an opinion here and it was not to disparage the opinion of the guy crowing about a team whose last title a 35-year-old doesn't remember.

To answer your question....probably Philly.

Good for you.

You are free to consider the 76ers irrelevant. Makes no difference to me.
They are not currently irrelevant....but facts are facts. A middle schooler who follow bball knows about a cavalier title. A 40-year-old does not recall a Philly title.

Didn't Philly take the same exact rout the cavs did to try and get better and its still not working? lol

I wasn't even born when the Sixers won their last championship for 3 years...That was before the internet
Yes....Process was, in fact, created by the Cavs. But it's really called tanking. And it worked for the cavs.

Bully for you! Still don't care.

I was accused of being a Cavs hater. I explained why I don't care about them. You are free to feel superior as much as you want.

You're being very particular with peoples ages.

A 21 year old wasn't even born when Jordan won his last title

An 18 year old wasn't born when the Lakers won their first title with Shaq and Kobe

Does it mean anything? No? In 20 years time that Cavs title is going to mean just as much as the Rockets title in the mid 90s do now

I gotta disagree with what you said about the Cavs title in 20 years. It was the greatest Finals upset of all time & the only team that dug themselves out of 3-1 hole. Like it or not what they did in '16 was historic.

I remember you hating on the Cavs. Don't ask when or in which thread though. I haven't made that up yet.

That is true. But in 20 years time an 18 year old won't know that unless they google it.

In 2001 the Lakers swept through the Western Conference and won the title with a 15-1 record. An AMAZING feat at the time which got brought up for years after. Nobody really gives a damn about that now though. Heck the Warriors did the same in 2017 and nobody hardly brings that up too.

The Lakers were the overwhelming favorites to win in '01. The Cavs were the underdogs in '16.

And be honest. If the Cavs were up 3-1 in that '16 Finals series people would still be talking about the epic comeback by the Warriors. That title the Cavs got was against the best regular season team in history. It wasn't a regular Finals upset. Or at least that's the way I see it.

I do agree. Probably the biggest upset in NBA history.

Only time will tell if the kids see that in 20 years time too.

You are tho, you were trying to fit in and look cool. You can't place a value on their future at 2, when it could be a 1 or it could be a 10...Just sayin

You feeling a little better now? That had to be one of the strangest 1st halfs in playoff history.
