(3) Warriors vs (2) Celtics 2021-22 FINALS

MJ > LeBron
LeBron > Bird

Ouch!

Since I'm going with comparisons Bird is the NBA's Tom Brady.

 

[sharkymcwrath]

lol

Tell me you're a casual without telling me you're a casual.

Oh pardon me. I didn't know this thread was only for professional sports fans. Do you get paid for that? I'll take my causal sports fan-ness elsewhere and leave the big talk to the pros.

Lebron is to basketball what Peyton Manning was to football. A really really great player who didn't win nearly as much as he should have.

Are you insane? Do you guzzle Haterade by the gallon?

LeBron's the only player to be Finals MVP with three different teams.

He'll become the leagues all time leading scorer next season. And if Father Time doesn't completely catch up with him he'll finish his career with 40,000 points / 10,000 assist / 10,000 steals. No other player has done that.

And he was the most important player on a team that had the single greatest comeback in Finals history.

Are you on drugs? Bird has three rings. TB12 has seven.

TB12 has longevity. Bird didn't.

Proving yet again that if the sport isn't baseball, the Mass Hole sports fan can't hang in the discussion.

Will your 2011 Hawt Take be going with you?

Ya but the point remains that Lebron has been known to fade when the lights were the brightest. I thought it was kinda funny but whatev.

Please do not put Lebron in the same convo as Bird or MJ. Dear Lord no.

No LeBron hasn't been known to fade then or really ever

 

[msgkings322]

This is the effort you need against Curry especially for a DPOY. You need to smother him for 48

Look another fading when the lights were brightest. leBron always does this

 

[msgkings322]

Ouch!

LeBron won more titles than Bird so you might have the Manning and Brady comparisons mixed up

 

[ChrisperJ10]

Since there's a very funny fella in this thread that insists DPOY winners are all role players here are some of those "role players".

-Olajuwon

-Gary Payton

-Mourning

-KG

-Ben Wallace

-Kawhi <--------------------------------

-Draymond

-Giannis

What’s another thing all those players have in common?

You know he put you on ignore… lol

 

[tlance]

Always funny when a LeBron hater stops by the NBA threads.

"please do not put Lebron in the same convo as Bird or MJ"

Larry Legend's my all time favorite player. LeBron's better.

The only player LeBron's compared to is MJ. Why do you think that is?

So why shouldn't LeBron be mentioned with Bird & MJ?

He is right.

LeBron doesn’t belong in the same conversation as Bird.

LeBron is much better

 

[Black Adam]

You know he put you on ignore… lol

How'd YOU get so lucky...?

 

[Wamu]

Yeah but Bird has more hair. LeBron sucks!

 

[ChrisperJ10]

How'd YOU get so lucky...?

What are YOU talking about?

 

[Wamu]

He is right.

LeBron is much better

Some people are just full of stupid. All you have to do is compare Bird's career and LeBron's career. It's not even close. Which shows again the all around greatness of LeBron. Because Larry Legend was no slouch. And arguably the 2nd best SF of all time.

 

[Wamu]

How'd YOU get so lucky...?

How many different people did buckboy have on ignore?

This new fella though. The only way it could get any better is if he shows back up next season but is pimping two different players. Instead of Tatum & Kawhi it could be Luka & Ja.

And it sounds like he'd be the type...

They all have a ring.

Funny story about Gary Payton. Don't remember exactly what year the all star game was in Vegas. It was either '07 or '08, I was living out there at the time.

Many NBAers had private parties at various casinos for the weekend festivities. Well Payton was the only one that had a bling-bling inspector at the door. If your shit was fake you couldn't party.
