    Fo-Fo-Fo-Fo

    4-1 Blazers
    4-1 Rockets
    4-1 Nuggets
    4-1? Heat

    Kobe Bryant was 41 years old.

    *Saw that on twitter

    All in the name of Kobe Bryant! All hail rapist Bryant!

    Helps when NBA gifts you the 4th overall pick (when you have the 11th best odds) and New Orleans gifts you Anthony Davis.

    "GOAT"? "He did it on 3 teams. So impressive!" ... You mean I can go team-hopping from super team to super team?! You mean I can be head of an agency (while being a player) and reel these players in?! :eek:

    Anyways, congrats to Adam Silver, the WWENBA, the Lakers, LerBon on being 4-6...congratulations.

    Haven't watched a game since the Rockets were eliminated, will continue to not watch.

    AD is pretty much what the kids nowadays call a "cheat code". Lakers really benefitted from not having to play an entire 82 game season because it lessened the chances of AD getting banged up and hurt like what we've seen throughout his career.

    It gave us our best chance at making small ball work, though. That break gave our guys a breather, who you could tell were on their last legs. It just sucked that WB never regained his groove after the bubble injuries.

    It takes a lot of luck to win a championship. Most teams have benefited from another's injury.

    Cept the Rockets have the next best thing to Lebron and tell him he can only chuck 3s and bait calls at the rim.

    I think the thing with LeBron is that he gets EVERY Advantage
    Take away his phenon skills
    He gets ultimate Ref Respect
    He gets players taking cuts to play with him
    He contorts whole organizations and the league to his will

    The refs, paycuts and organization will bending all come back to the fact that he's the best player in the NBA, though.

    Regardless of how crappy Cleveland is, present-day, that 2016 title was more than worth it if you ask their fans and front office.

    This is by far the most boring Finals I've ever ****ing seen.

    The NBA has ****ed up by allowing LAL to just get whatever the **** they want, and I hope nobody is watching this trash. A rerun of Terminator 2 is better than this ****.

    Lebron definitely has advantages but many stars had all this and more. If he played in LA his whole career like Kobe he probably has 10 rings. I mean he has historically shot way less free throws than both MJ and Kobe.

    He's also allowed to play aggressive defense with zero fear of ever getting into foul trouble.
