Greatest basketball team ever assembled….

[logic]

East was weaker but not sure what you mean by immense talent. Other starters besides Z were Gooden, Snow and Sasha Pavlovic (Hughes usually out).

That team proved Lebron knew how to win not with a stacked Big 3.

I mean LeBron's immense talent. He was good enough to win the East by himself. But it wasn't until he was in Miami that he stopped all the timeout skits with teammates and got down to business.

in order to respond I need help in understanding this

he claimed not one player current or former thinks Lebron is better than MJ. Because you decided to base your comment on poster and not post seems you agree with his lie.

Yeah, I think it was more he kind of had better teammates as Wade and Bosh far better than any of his Cavs' teammates. If those TO skits were so detrimental they never get past your veteran team of skitless players.

What the…


Who lied?

your new hero, Jordan23. claimed not one player or former player thinks Lebron is better than MJ. do you agree or is it in you to tell him he is way off base (or lied)?

I think it is more that the Cleveland guys didn't have the cred to say no to LeBron. And clearly he had more talent in Miami and a lot more pressure since he assembled the big 3 and didn't win the first year. Taught him to take it seriously. And if they weren't distracting why has he not brought them back?

I don’t know him from a hole in the wall

He appears in this thread to be using common sense

and, I feel we both agree , leflop would be the best who ever played the game had he stayed focused on the Game!

NoBODY WAS built better for the game then leflop

Neither of you guys are actually using common sense though.

You are extremely biased.

Way to avoid the question.

Honestly I don't even recall the skits you are talking about....I recall a bunch of handshake/high 5s he and teammates made up which they used before and AFTER he left Miami.

But again if so distracting how'd they get by arguably the best team in the sport?

Not buying the guy didn't care about winning nor have a drive to win. was it MJ level in which he was often just a D to others? No.

Once again my question to you is do you agree with him that not one player or former player thinks Lebron is better than MJ. Let me help a little.....

A) yes, I agree....no one thinks Lebron is better
B) no, I disagree with him.

Reason why I don’t understand the question cause I did not see where he posted this

Do I believe there are players, past or present, feel leflop is better than MJ , of course I do.

Then I'll take back my comment that lumped in you with Jordan who clearly lied.

Dude, go easy on me man

I don’t even know what thread in NBA forum I’m posting in

 

[Jordan23]

And that is an absurd opinion.

MJ and LeBron both have egos the size of Texas

Yes one that’s been a shown fact and the other is you basing off “thoughts he has internally” that you are assuming lol

 

[Jordan23]

Not one former player/player thinks Lebron better than MJ? That really what you are going with, Tommy?

Majority of people in general believe MJ is. Fact

 

[Jordan23]

ready to own your lie @Jordan23 /Tommy?

Who the fuck is Tommy?

 

[Jordan23]

I just enjoy yer unhinged issues with the one player you hate-hate-hate so much. So much so you've seemingly told yourself he's the only great player that has ever flopped.

He’s the biggest flopper of any top great. That better?

Dude.

Regardless of whether or not MJ really believes he is the GOAT, there is nothing humble about Michael Jordan.

You are deluding yourself if you think otherwise.

Both shown their giant egos in different ways.

I just don’t understand how anybody who knows anything about MJ can think he is a humble man.

Crazy.

What’s more humble? Saying It’s not fair to call me the greatest when I didn’t get to play against other greats like so and so or saying I’m the greatest? Jordan said one and LeBron the other. Choose wisely

You are looking at 1 very small aspect of their personalities.

Of course Jordan’s answer to that 1 question. is more humble.

But you are acting like that is the only measure of humility.

It’s not.

And MJ would not be in the GOAT conversation if he really were as humble as you say. Killer instinct and humility do not mix.
