we are smarter than them. they started watching basketball in 2001, and prlly think AI is the best player ever
LOOOOL you so bitter, i have to read your thoughts when the Lakers win their 6th ring and Kobe gets his 3rd Finals MVP this year
im a big lebron critic but according to NBA.com the Heat's record is 14-15 vs .500+ teams before tonights game http://www.nba.com/standings/team_record_comparison/conferenceNew_Mrg_Cnf.html
Lebron is not even a three point shooter, he drives strong and gets and1's, gets assists and rebounds. He should never get the ball down three unless if his driving.
that's why he won't last into his early 30's he can't drive forever. and has a below average jump shot
it's the finals themselves. Pippen's were pretty similar, basically any team that uses a leader + definitive #2 + role players, both the 90's bulls teams as well as the current lakers also use that paradigm. The 83 sixers were also not far from that (Moses and Dr J were the #1 and 2, Dr J was at the tail end of his career but he was certainly no scrub, that being said, their role players were vastly better than the role players of any other team, they may well have been the best team ever) The heat for example are going for something closer to a lakers/celtics of the 80's lineup.
You do know there are 3 other rounds to get to the Finals right? Kobe was the best player when they beat up SAS to get to the Finals.
You really should be rookified if you cant even think of one team that supports his claim... especially considering your handle.
people just can't give Kobe any credit. Lebron will have ZERO rings after 8 NBA Seasons.... clock is ticking!!!
the early spurs titles were that too, really every title except us in 94 and pistons in 04 (and maybe the 90's pistons, but isiah and dumars were pretty close to 1 + 2 + role players) were either won by 3 stars or a #1 + #2 + role players.
I do know, and I also know Clyde carried us through some of our earlier rounds in 95, as Pippen did in Chicago and Gasol has done for the current team (even game 7 of the nba finals last year is a perfect example). Being the #1 doesn't mean all day every day, all them, it means that they're shouldering the majority of the responsibility over the course of the events.
This is also why what Hakeem did in 94 is so unique, to carry your team singlehandedly for 4 rounds is REALLY REALLY REALLY HARD.
