[2017 NBA Finals] Golden State Warriors vs. Cleveland Cavaliers

jordan wouldn't contain durant either.

jordan never played a MVP / Scoring champion perimeter player in the finals.

and pippen would have been on the best scorer that series anyways.

 

Lol at "can't even contain Durant" as if KD isn't 1 of the best scorers in NBA history. Then u also have to deal with a 2x MVP, 1 of the best shooters in NBA history in Klay, and 1 of the best defenders in the NBA in Draymond. MJ never faced a team with this much talent in the finals.

 

Jordan never faced an offense that was this difficult to defend, and what makes it even worse is that GS was also the 2nd best defensive team in the NBA this season

Jordan never faced a team that had NBA fans saying stuff like "they've ruined the NBA" or "there's no hope" because of how dominant they were

 

And lastly, Jordan never lost to a shitty mavs team in the finals.
Jason Terry was that teams second best player

 

Kevin Durant is one of the best scorers in NBA history. Hell, if you look at skillset he might be the best. 7 footer who can shoot like Dirk but also has handles, is really athletic and quick too.

And you add to that Klay and Curry....

 

jordan also never faced a team that would make him work on both ends like this, no hiding on dan majerle or jeff hornacek.

jordan having to defend durant and curry while being guarded by 4 legit defenders with length and athleticism like klay, durant, iggy, and draymond? that's a tall order for any perimeter player.

jordan still the GOAT but this warriors team is top 5 ever.

 

I thought game 2 is quite entertaining tbh. Very competitive first half.

I still think Cavs can pull one back at home. At least one and that's all Kyrie and Co. needed to gain their confidence back.

It's a shame that we can never know how these Cavs fare against Rockets and Spurs.

 

Liar. He was suited up.

 

To be fair he didn't go to the heat or lakers, the only moves he shamed- every other team was fair game I guess.

 

Ho hum.

 

I wish he hadn't been a Longhorn. No UT alum I know has been like, "Yeah Kevin, go chase it! Easy does it, as the little b****es say! So proud!" He's more sooner or aggie now.

 

Lebron didn't quit basketball to play baseball then come crying back 1 year later when he sucked. Then retired again then came back again then retired again. At least he has been in the NBA every single year he has been able to play.

 

Hell. We may not have rings if he never retired.
MJ averaged 40 points a game as a 40 year old man.

 

I posted this the other day

Lebron is back in the NBA Finals; again..... let the MJ comparisons continue.....

Here are some good ones for y'all.

MJ - 15 seasons
Lebron - 14

Michael Jordan has:
3 more rings
3 more final mvps
1 more DPOY
1 more season MVP
9 more scoring titles
3 more steals leader
3 more all defensive team selections
4000 more points
800 more steals
Beat 20 50+ win teams (Lebron only defeated 10)

Jordan NEVER averaged less than 40% Field Goal in the finals
Lebron did it twice lol.
Had the biggest margin of defeat in NBA finals history.
Oh and i forgot.
6/6.
AND never allowed a game 7
Lebron had much more help
Jordan never had a teammate averaged more than 22 points in the finals...

Kyrie averaged over 28 and DWade averaged more than 26
MJ never ever had a finals meltdown like Lebron in 2011 against the Mavs
MJ has more points in the playoffs in less games...
Played in college while LeBron did not. So take away 2 years from lebron.

All of this accomplished in 13 years. AND took a year off.
Lebron is in his 14 still chasing the ghost that played in Chicago
So how is the even close?

Cramps
LBJ-1
Jordan-0
