Lol. :grin: Haters are pathetic. LeBron could win 20 championships straight by himself and there would be people out there hating on the man. The East is weak, we all know. Doesn't make their accomplishments any more or less valuable. You can talk all you want about the East being a cakewalk, you still have to go out there and play and there were several moments in their 4 years of making the finals that the Heat almost got knocked out. It isn't like the other teams in the East just dropped dead and let the Heat step over them. You still have to go out there and play, these are the best basketball players on the planet playing in the best league on the planet. There is no easy path to a championship for anybody.
I think Wall is, Kyrie though I don't feel is yet. Anyone can put up good numbers on a bad team, people are just ready to call him that because he was a #1 pick. I'll just say this, Kawhi's FMVP is more akin to Billups than it is to a true Max Player. I don't know if he'll ever be a guy that can lead a team to a championship, but he's obviously someone you'd love to have on your team.
But LeBron will be judged in the end on how many championships he wins. 2 titles in a row is good and that certainly cements his status as an all-time great player, but he plays in the same era as Kobe and Duncan who each have 5 rings. Fairly or unfairly, his level of success will be compared to theirs.
So going by your logic, winning a two peat is more impressive than winning 5 titles? 2 is better than 5? Is this a hipster thing?
What does that have to do with the logic of Kobe defending his title 3 times? Do you apply this logic to 2nd options on title teams or just for Kobe?
Right, 'cause you can't. Blame his teammates, blame the weather, I don't care. He should never be mentioned in the same sentence as the mj, Shaq, etc. Great individual player, but not the heart of a champion. Complimentary piece. No fire in him whatsoever, just theatrics for arguing foul calls. His fans certainly fit a type LOL
Ohhhh I'm a hater. Insert a smiley face. A GIF. Deal with the facts fellas. I've got no emotional bias, this is all basketball
Being a hater means you have emotional bias, lol. Being objective and being all about basketball doesn't mean running around every thread calling LeBron a loser. LOL.
You continue to prove my point with each post. And no emotional bias? It's so funny you mention that. Wow.

Team play wins the championship. Iso play wins only some highlights. Hope players and coaches could see the difference.
san antonio and dallas have had more sports success than houston in the last 15 years the only positive thing that has happened in that timespan was getting swept by the white sox in the world series taking the lakers to 7 games in 09. being a houston sports fan sucks.

"we would have won if we had Carmelo" - Heat Fans While that may not be a direct quote, it sums up everything about them as they prepare to leave town ... EMOTIONALLY.. and head over to Wiggins in Philly. They're a TYPE, and long time fans like me love laffin at 'em.
