The post-Michael Jordan era officially is over

Only on Clutchfans you mean. People outside of Houston don't hate Tmac that much.

 

Amen.

New champions, new stars, PLEASE!

 

I don't see anything wrong with that. He was a free agent and went to a team that he thought would give him the chance to win. Even if it meant making less money (eventually he got a sign and trade which got him more money).

 

I dont think the money was the problem.... He makes 10 times more in endorsements....I dont see nothin wrong with it either.....How many of you would want an opportunity to 1)make tons of money 2)make tons of money doing 1/3 the work as before 3) make tons of money while making history 4) make tons of money from South Beach.......sign me up !!!!

 

The S&T actually didnt get LeBron more money. It just gave Cleveland a HUGE Trade Exception that they used in part to cover the trade for Baron Davis contract.

 

Well there you go... it further proves that it wasn't about the money, he just wants to win championships.

 

You could have at least cited the tweet. We all follow the same people.

 

remember when everyone jumped on marbury because he didn't want to be second fiddle to garnett and jumped ship, now everyone's jumping on lebron for the exact opposite

 

LOL i bet he wouldn't have been all class if he lost to the Celtics again.

Probably wouldn't even shake there hand. Again.

 

Which Celtics shook his hand? No double-standard here at all.

 

Marbury < Garnett in Minny
LeBron >>>>> everbody in Cleveland

Apple and orange

Nobody except Marbury himself thought he could lead any team to championship. LeBron, on the other hand...

 

exactly

 

Im not a lebron fan or celtics fan, but I saw Doc Rivers give him a hug, and other players too, saying congrats to him.

 

Pierce and KG walked straight off of the court.

 

well, what can you expect from them, they are not classy

Ray Allen did shook hands with Heat players.
Danny Ainge give lebron a huge.
even delonte west hugged lebron

 

Yeah I saw all 3 of them do it.

I was definitely wondering if LeBron and Delonte would embrace.

 

How do so many topics devolve into a discussion over Lebron drama?! I'm not a Lebron-hater by any means, but I sure hope he doesn't do anything newsworthy this summer, lest half of NBA fans start another annoying cycle of villanizing the guy.

Anyway, back on topic, that list of NBA Finals mainstays can roughly be broken down by decade:

1980-1990 Magic, Bird, Isaiah
1991-1998 Jordan, Hakeem
1999-2010 Kobe, Shaq, Duncan

Following this trend, let's say another three players will emerge as perennial Finals contenders. Guesses?

2011-2020 _ ??? _, _ ??? _, _ ??? _

 

Robert Horry

 

Spurs and Celtics are done!

But i don't think you can write Lakers off.
Their all-stars lineups of Kobe/Gasol/Bynum/Odom are still a great team. They can still contend for next 1-2 years with the right matchups.

 

Alright fine, here's the Big Shot Rob/Fresh Prince version:

Every NBA Finals from 1991-2005 included Robert Horry, Horace Grant, or Steve Kerr.

(I think)
