It won't be the same. I'm simply saying that he made the choice to assemble what many are now calling the greatest team ever considering the core player's ages. Anything less than an absolutely dominating season and a championship will be an utter failure (and in the eyes of many....a "choke job")

I've not heard anyone call this the greatest team ever. Not even close. You may want to look at the Showtime Lakers, 90's Bulls, and mid-2000's Spurs (shit that 2014 team was probably the best of them), before anointing this Cavs team the best of all-time.

Once again, you appear to be making shit up.

This is the greatest championship team of all-time by many experts apparently. Yet they weren't even favored in this series. Absolutely amazing.

We were fans back on CBS long before they became good. Posted daily during the 15-67 season back on CBS

I joined the second half of the following year, I think sometime around 2009 when I first got onto the forums. But yeah, we had a good group there, and we had Paolo there back in the day. Man, I just remembered that he had a dieBeasleydie screen name way back.

I remember. You used to slide on by the Lakers board the and debate with livendieinLA, QED, and jefe101...

I'd peak in then quickly scurry out. Times were really rough between Heat and Lakers fans back then.

I assumed you were talking about the Cavs. Either way, I didn't think the Warriors were the greatest team ever assembled. They're certainly good, but I still wouldn't put them over the 90's Bulls or Showtime Lakers. Hell, I've even said that the 2014 Spurs are the best team in the last decade at least. They beat my Heat so bad, Lebron took his ball and went home.

Still do.....Although he's calmed down quite a bit. Don't mention Battier around him though. Calls him the biggest scrub.

Ok. Go and look for any post where I said this was the greatest team of all-time because they won 73 regular season games. Go look where I said they were better than any of the other great teams in their respective eras. I'll do an avi bet for one month. Oh, you won't because you're a pussy, and a rancid one at that.

The thing is tho, if the cavs beat the greatest team ever would that make them the greatest team ever? Not saying u said it, but this was the general consensus among a ton of legit sports writers and talking heads and i am sure a bunch of posters as well(not everyone)...Now a lot of people are downplaying this...

What the Cavs did was great and historic, no other team did what they did. They have their own place in history and had an amazing run. But they're not the best title team in history, not even close. Hell, I don't even know how you put a team in the greatest of all-time when they fired their coach midway through the year.

Not many would. Not those that know basketball or watched those teams.
