NBA Finals Thread - (2) San Antonio Spurs vs. (1) Miami Heat

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Even though I was cheering for the spurs, 8789's tears are making this enjoyable

 

I ain't crying, I'm downright bitching.

Robert Horry is the best player since Bill Russell.

Good thing Kobe didn't demand a trade on draft day because he couldn't cut it.... oh wait. He did. After publicly stating he wouldn't play for certain teams.

In the end the Hornets ultimately made the decison to trade him. Are people really still hurt about this?

[TheRed]

TheRed basically is using ESPN talking points from 3 years ago

This coming from the guy who uses Chappelle's show skits to support his arguments.

I've been pretty nice and tolerable to you. So hop off my nuts.

The thing that irritates me is that Kobe fans get so defensive about Kobe that I end up bashing him even though I don't want to. He is a great player. But all you have to do is watch basketball and it is pretty obvious that Lebron is better than Kobe. No matter the ring disparity.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

They need to take that champagne away from Juwan Howard, he doesn't even own a jersey yet he gets a ring...

 

fug that.

Nope. He would be a Pelican and I am now a Bobcats/Hornets fan. Just pointing out the hypocrisy.

I had actually forgotten the Pelicans even drafted him until he tweeted his pic in his Hornets hat when MJ announced the name change.

Hate when people use that and compare role players to top 10 players.

Wasn't it PSC who referred to it as Lebron "dragging" the Cavs to the finals by himself? If he's so good why leave?

You can get bent out of shape about my comments if you want, but your feelings don't change the past. He couldn't make it in Cleveland so he had to go chase titles with the big 3 in Miami. What's false about that? Do tell please.

 

LMAO, he left Cleveland because he had garbage players for years and ownership never surrounded him with good players. They were afraid of going over the cap and spending big.

 

It was a miracle he went to the finals against the Spurs that year(granted the East was weak) and he sucked in it cuz his game wasn't well rounded enough and he has scrub teammates who were no where near SA's level.

 

And he's the best player and on Heat. This it isn't even close. So not sure how that diminishes his greatness.

 

If you want to arue this, go at it with stats, skill set, impact on the game, how x players makes teammates better etc, not this lazy, silly micro-minded point of view.

CP8789 we need to get you more alcohol.

All I read was: slurp slurp slurp, and it's never ever Lebrons fault about 20 times on repeat.

Lebron is a terrific player, but he doesn't need all you goblins making excuses for him 24/7.

I hate it when people can only revert to rings as only differentiator between top players. Rings are a part of the resume, but rings isn't the only way to determine greatness.

I think MJ was better than Russell but Russell had like 4 or 5 more championships. I think Wilt is better than Kareem but Kareem has more titles.

I think Barkley was better than Worthy, etc etc etc
