    The last time there was an NBA Finals without Lebron James, I was in 7th grade. I'm 20 years old and in my second year of college right now. d---....

    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.

    I hope they keep AB... to me he is one of the main reasons why they keep a defensive edge. His is CUT from that KG thread.

    Tip my hat to them boys...

    Warriors lose this series and imo Klay is gone. He's been totally eclipsed by KD and Dray in the media and every coverage I've seen. He went from being the hero of last year's WCF and the second biggest guy in GSW to now he's 4th fiddle on GSW. He mentally hasn't looked into it at all, and he has yet to pop off in a series. I think he's gonna leave, not getting kicked off. He can be #1 just about anywhere else, and #2 on the rest.

    As far as individually, I'd take Kyrie over Curry, LeBron over Durant, Love over Green, and Thompson over Zaza. IMO the only player in their starting 5 better than the Cavs is Thompson over JR Swish. Now my opinion doesn't mean s--- when they actually play lol, but I'm keeping faith.

    Nah.

    People forget Jordan retired off of championship teams, TWICE.

    He could've easily won 9-10 titles. He was that dominant.

    I love LeBron, hated Jordan, but what you guys have been seeing from LeBron the last couple of years is what we witnessed from Jordan his entire career.

    You don't get credit for not playing. He chose to retire.

    He could've won 20 titles. Hypothetical don't matter with MJ because his career is over and it is what it is.

    The last part is just a lie. We lie about what MJ did. He's pretty much been similar to Bron. Didn't really win anything in terms of playoffs success during the decade he was drafted. Then got a great team around him and started dominating for a significant portion of the next decade. The difference is Lebrons career isn't over and we don't know how it's going to end.

    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.

    How do ppl lie about what MJ did? It's everything Bron has but on another level. We didn't make these things up.

    The man didn't have an all star on his team until 1990, and you know what he did when he finally got one? Won the title. I'd even go so far as to say that ALL of Lebron's championship teams were better than any Jordan team aside from 95-96 and even that's debatable. He's never played with more than 1 all star and Bron has been surrounded by 2 consistently for years, in a weaker Eastern conference.

    Eh..... after Jordan retired in the 92' season, Bulls went on to win 55 games the following year with Pippen leading the way. You can't tell me that at any point in Lebron's career you could take him off his team and they'd win 55 games without him. Also, wasn't Rodman an all star?

    Really? You don't think Miami with Bosh & Wade in their primes could've won 50+ and gone to the ECF?

    Rodman was an all star in 90 & 92. Probably the best rebounder of all time though.

    Celtics won 50+ this year, I don't think it's a stretch to say Kyrie & Love with that supporting cast could make it to the ECF as well.

    Why not? Kyrie is a stud and Love can still be a walking double double given the opportunity. They could essentially be an eastern conference version of the Clippers.

    kyrie a scorer... n thats about it
    love can mix it up a bit more but he still got major deficiencies

    No playmakers n no defenders equates to a .500 team give or take a few
