Okay..I will play along.

So, the best player makes all the difference?

Then why has Lebron lost 3 times in the Finals?

Once simply becaue the Cavs were not even in the same stratosphere as the Spurs.
Second one, LeBron choked against the Mavs plain and simple.
Third time, LeBrons teammates failed him.

Except that they weren't which makes you wrong and shows that you haven't been watching basketball for more than a few years.

His Lebron worship should disprove his statement all by itself.

You telling me that the Heatles shouldn't have been the favorite too?

Yet, they went 2-2 :noidea:

Exactly how is that different from the Showtime Lakers?

The Heat were favorites everytime. I am not giving LeBron a free pass here. He blew it too just like almost every other all time great

So, the Favorite doesn't always win, even when they have the best talent?

Could that be why Magic and KAJ didn't win them all?

The games are not won on Paper.

If so, My Paper Clips would be Finals bound:bawling:.

I can assure you kiddo that I am no alt.

However, despite being attacked relentlessly in this thread, I have handled it like a champ. Don't allow your emotions to get the best of you. While you may weild the powers of a mod on this site, dont cower froma differing view. I am not here to make friends, bit only to speak the truth without prejudice

If you're not an alt, you have nothing to worry about as you have said/done nothing here that is ban worthy. Outside of being an alt, it would take a helluva lot worse than what you've said here for me to ban you. Except for calling me kiddo.:lol:

However, you may want to dial down some of your hyperbole, especially when you have been proven factually to be incorrect such as claiming the 80's Lakers were favored in all of their finals appearances, when the fact is that they were only favored in 3. It would have been 4 had Worthy not been out with a broken leg in the 3rd finals vs. the 76ers.

Agreed.

For the record:

I like Bron and think he is the best player in the NBA.

He might be in the Jordan conversation when it's all said and done.

But, not yet...at least not for me.

I dont think that you should be in charge of my opionons.

Just because we dont agree, you should not try to use your mod powers to infuence me...thanks.

First of all, he'll do well to even get one title in Cleveland. Aside from that, it still wouldn't put him in the conversation. One, because he "team hopped" trying to stack teams to get a title which is something MJ and Kobe didn't do. Two, because even then, he would be 4-3 or 5-3 and MJ would still be 6-0.

Reality or not, team hopping counts against you. Btw, Kobe and Timmy each have 5 rings and neither of them did any team hopping.

And before you post some nonsense about it counting more because it's Cleveland, the Bulls were no better and had no more titles than the Cavs before MJ came along.

Actually, Kobe was team hopping before he even put on an NBA uniform. Duncan and SA both got totally lucky for David Robinson getting hurt the year before as they were already a fine organization good for 50-55 wins a year without Duncan. Neither of them were drafted into a situation like Lebron, where the #1 pick is supposed to be the instant franchise savior.

FYI...Disagreeing is not attacking.

If you were offended by me saying your post was full on tard, I apologize.

He decides, not you.

And it looks like he just did. Thanks for stopping by. :wave:

Agreed.

Durant was in a similar situation.

Lets see if he decides to stick it out or play Buddy Ball in 2016.
