I'd still take Kobe over Lebron if they are both healthy.

You are a joy to read.

.........................................................sarcasm? troll? lulz?

 

[Heyward]

I'm not going back and reading BUT.....did thethe and Heyward really say Bron is selfish?

I said he cares more about his stats.

If you consider that selfish.

 

[yeezus]

The stretches that need to be made to bring down Bron and prop up KD tells you all you need to know about who is better, and by how much.
LeBron didn't score in the 4th last night because he played 41 minutes the night before. LeBron is selfish. KD could have scored 70 multiple times if he wanted to. Seriously, the homerism and reaching is insane.

 

[Heyward]

Lebron made the finals with no one else on his team.

According to you the Thunder are ultra talented, right? I mean, the way you talk about Westbrook, Ibaka, Jackson, Jones, Adams, etc. Do the Thunder have more or less talent around them than the Heat currently do? What about when Lebron took the Cavs to the finals?

Based on pure god-given talent, yes.

But experienced talent > younger talent.

Miami has a top 3 SG all-time currently the best SG in basketball, top-10 big man currently, with a loaded bench of snipers.

And you formed that opinion based on what?

OMG HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

Maybe if he sat out the 4th on Monday, they would of won?

And that is a freakin joke. LeBron could score wayyyyyy more than he does, but because he's so UNSELFISH and plays smart basketball, he doesn't.
He was just on and knew it in his 61-pointer. That's it. He knew what he could do that particular night, and put on a show.
You two are borderline criticizing LeBron for scoring 61 points. That's how absurd and far-reaching you're getting. LeBron is the bad guy for scoring 61. Never ceases to amaze me.

There are a lot of potential reasons why they lost.
You seem convinced it was solely because LeBron was on fire the night before.

 

[yeezus]

OMG HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

Honestly man, it's time to stop. It's like arguing with a door knob. What's the point? The amount of outlandish and stupid statements, coupled with hyperbole that he doesn't realize he's committing, is not worth it. It is funny though.

Maybe im over-rating Bosh but outside of MJ/Kobe, whose better all-time than Wade?

 

[yeezus]

The sad part is, you truly do not realize how dense you are, and how little of what you say makes sense.

 

[gilesfan]

See similarity scores.

BTW, Billups is criminally underated.

There is a natural progression in the NBA. Its rare that teams win the title as young as they were in 2012. I'm not sure a younger team ever won (I think the Blazers were younger with Walton).

Yes, I do believe the Thunder are the most talented team. But, Lebron is the best player and that means everything in basketball.

I'm criticizing him because he pushed himself in a meaningless game and didin't have gas left in the tank in the 4th quarter yesterday and his team lost. I didn't say anything yesterday about Lebrons game.

Curious to see if you watched the fourth quarter of the Heat game last night.

No, but Lebron himself said he was tired prior to yesterdays game. I'm sure his body would have been a bit better had he not played almost the whole 4th quarter the night before. I'm just taking lebron at his word.

"I fought through it in the first half. Second half it just wasn't there for me," James said. "Got out of rhythm."
