i never claimed tristan was the most dominant center in the league either. just better than whiteside

I never said most, I said one of the most, and guess what?
If you are good enough the lead the NBA in blocked shots, and rebounds, you are one of the most dominant.

Very difficult to beat a super super team by yourself. Not even MJ could do that

Here's what makes the 'LeBron losses in the Finals hurt his legacy' argument even dumber. LeBron James is so good, such an all time great, that they literally had to assemble the Justice League (Avengers if you prefer) of superheros to stop him. Without the Warriors fighting him off in the Finals, or another superteam like them, he'd be like 7-1 or something. With more to come.

If they could have assembled a superteam in the 90s to beat MJ and the Bulls, they would have. But the rules on player movement were different. Imagine the Utah team of Malone and Stockton in 1997-8 but with one more stud like Shaq or even Grant Hill. That's a team that compares to the Warriors today, and if they were around no way Jordan is 6-0.

LeBron haters are missing out on enjoying the most dominating force ever, save MJ.

It's just hilarious to see him out super teamed.
You know it burns his ass.
He thought he owned the rights to super teams.
That's why he overpaid his boys and wasn't worried about cap space.
Durant had a different plan in mind though.

I'm starting to think the main reason you hate LeBron is so you can come here every day and mention it to us.

 

[trojanfan12]

yah i certainly did not expect the #1 seed in the East to lose both of the games on their home floor and just kind of fold. I dont know anyone did.

Yeah, I don't know if anyone thought it would happen, but I don't think anyone is particularly surprised either.

This team went into this series scared to death of Lebron. Their chance to gain some confidence and have a real shot in this series disappeared with that big lead they had.

 

[WiggyRuss]

I agree.
We can settle our bet anytime, and start looking for an avi for me.

you still got 11 left

i am not counting my chickens before they hatch------ but if the Cavs do indeed advance---- maybe we can put 11k on the next series--- give you a chance to win your money back?

How about we wait till the Finals?

Show some balls.

 

[OutlawImmortal]

I haven't followed the NBA too closely this year but when did LeBron develop a consistent fade-away jumper. He was draining turn-arounds too. I thought Kobe was playing for the Cavs for a second, LeBron's on another level of deadly.

you wont have any vcash till then lol

and as you said earlier--- i took even odds on 2-1 from vegas to get you to finally bet. LOL

 

[trojanfan12]

So the Mavs and Spurs are superteams now?

OK 5-3, jeez way to miss my point maaaaaaaaan

 

[WiggyRuss]

@Mecca

maybe when Jordan Clarkson was talking about dinosaurs as pets this is what he was talking about?

 

[WiggyRuss]

@TurnUpTheHeat

long way to go yet--- and as i said...not counting my chickens before they hatch....but if i am lucky enough to win the bet- i think this is the avatar im gonna pick for you...not a 100% on it but i like it

 

[Black Adam]

thing is i don't mention him at all 'til someone wants to attempt to ram his "greatness" down my throat...

the NBA, the sports media, and his dick riders do that enough, tyvm...

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Show some balls.

lol you do know it's wiggy you're talking to, right?

Come on... He has a superteam of his own.

1. He has lost against the Spurs (twice), Dallas and pre-Durant Warrors. Those weren't superteams.
2. GSW created a superteam in response to Cleveland creating one.
