    KD is kinda lame for saying that IMO. He's clearly to blame for lack of parity in the west. LeBron dominates the east every year, but he didn't join a 73 win contending team either.

    Celtics 08-09 champs if KG doesn't get hurt. Lost to the Magic in 7 (who went on to beat the Cavs) and then swept that same team the next year. That team was probably their best and KG wasn't really ever the same after that injury.

    Sad that YT has such trash footage of this, maybe my favorite Rondo play ever.

    I think you're both kinda right, at the start of the year some were saying the Heat wouldn't win right away cuz it'd take time etc. I don't know if I'd say it was the general consensus though, cuz who was gonna stop em at the time from the east? Indiana? lmao..

    But Pooh's right in the sense that once the finals started, the Heat were the heavy favorites..Not many expected Dallas to win. Also yes a prime Bron did get shut down by Jason Terry at times which is still amazing to me..

    Let's just compare accolades...

    LeBron
    3X Champion
    3X Finals MVP
    4X NBA MVP
    1X Scoring Champion
    5X NBA All Defensive First Team

    Michael Jordan
    6X Champion
    6X Finals MVP
    5X NBA MVP
    10X Scoring Champion
    3X Steals Champion
    1X Defensive Player of the Year
    9X All Defensive First Team

    (By the way, all of Jordan's accolades were collected in 13 seasons in the NBA on the Chicago Bulls, while LeBron's was collected in 14 seasons in the NBA).

    Also, mind you, Jordan was injured one of those years, and another year he only played 17 games coming out of retirement lol. And he STILL has more accolades and better numbers than LeBron.

    Regular Season Averages?

    LeBron
    27.1 PPG
    7 APG
    7.3 RPG
    1.6 SPG
    0.8 BPG

    Michael
    30.1 PPG
    5.3 APG
    6.2 RPG
    2.3 SPG
    0.8 BPG

    Post-season averages?

    LeBron
    28 PPG
    6.8 APG
    8.8 RPG
    1.8 SPG
    0.9 BPG

    Michael
    33.4 PPG
    5.7 APG
    6.4 RPG
    2.1 SPG
    0.8 BPG

    And I'm INCLUDING the Washington Wizards' years.

    Pretty much best case scenario coming into the year for the C's was the ECF and the #1 pick. Would have liked a few less blow outs and a healthy IT in the series, but successful year either way. Team is gonna look far different next year, could take a step back and go younger, add Fultz and Hayward to the current team (my preference), or add an All Star through Free Agency and acquire one through trade.

    Still think there is nothing they can to pass the Cavs/Warriors so they are better off keeping these picks and trading one of their guards.

    36-16 in the 1st quarter...My advice to anyone who was planning on watching this game, watch hockey instead. Game 7 Pittsburgh Ottawa on now, already an exciting 1st period.

    Welp, it was nice while it lasted. Would've been awesome to be 2-2 coming back to Boston.

    Hopefully we can give one more good game and I'll be happy.

    On the stream I'm watching they show the fans during the tv breaks and no lie they just showed a little kid in a Cavs jersey pull up the jersey and reveal a Warriors shirt underneath lmao.

    That kid is set i guess, his team wins either way.

    Swear it's almost always Kyrie or in the Heat days Wade making the big plays in the playoffs. Yet in the end Bron always gets the credit either way.

    *knows Mitch is gonna argue this*

    Lol true. I'm a bigger basketball fan but I'm born and raised and still live in Pittsburgh so around playoff time I'm watching all the games.

    He makes it so hard to like him sometimes. Getting into it with a fan and a reporter after you take 2 shots in the 4th period of a potential closeout at home? He has by far the most hoe tendencies I've ever seen out of a player of his talent in NBA history.

    Spurs GM classy as f---, saw a video of the Warriors running off the court after their win and the Spurs GM was congratulating them all 1 on 1 and shaking their hand etc.

    Even more classy considering the Kawhi injury, not saying it was intentional but it was definitely avoidable.
