Am I the only one that sees it?
They are going on and on about how great Lebron James' performance was, but he cannot work without the ball...in other words, he cannot work himself open for shots. Michal Jordan was a master at it!
Lebron James is NOT the greatest ever...it's still Michael.

I agree 100 percent. James is awesome but Jordan is still the greatest.

But, but, but, Lebron's the best player in the world - he said so himself!
Jordan would've won game six with one hand tied behind his back and sick with the flu. Last edited by 4815162342; 06-18-2015 at 06:01 AM. |

James has no midrange game either, it's all drives and 3s, which dont get me wrong works most of the time. Jordan he is not.

...and Steve Kerr is a better coach than he is too.
One thing I notice was that when Curry had the ball, all his teammates were in motion, whereas when LeBron had the ball, they were all spectators...which, if he's going to function as the coach, he has to take the blame for. Granted there were some times when Michael's teammates stopped and gawked but not to the extent the Cavs did. They give LeBron a lot of credit for being such a good sport at the end, but I still remember his first finals loss, where he walked off the court without even acknowledging the Spurs. These finals were another example of a 'Bill Russell' versus a 'Wilt Chamberlain' - the better TEAM won. IMHO, the better teams have more players involved - Golden State led the league in Assists. That's the last thing I have to say about the basketball season - it is now over...and out!

The thing that really bothered me were the Cavs fans - how they were out celebrating in the streets on opening day as if they had already won a championship - like some kind of victory parade. It was the middle of the afternoon. Don't those people work? Then I remember a huge banner of James being unveiled on the side of a building. The whole thing was quite ridiculous.
Hey Cavs fans, how about next time waiting until your team wins a championship before you celebrate? |

James.....
Watched most of the championship series and came away with a few thoughts but the main one was that James,almost seemed relieved it a strange sort of way when Irving went down. Now he really had an excuse to lose the series and nobody, especially his distractors, could blame him. Some of his post gamers, among them, "I`d rather not make the playoffs than lose" had me doing a double take. Today`s modern day athlete maybe ? Anyway still a super talented player but outside, for now anyways, my top 5 all timers. IMO, top 5, Russell-Jordan-Magic-Duncan-Bird. 2`nd 5, Wilt-Kareem-Kobe-Maravich-James. Bye the way, the "Stan Muse" as in most underated player of all time of hoops, "Hondo",John Havlichek.

I'm not saying Lebron is better than Jordan, but come on, give the guy some credit. The Cavs had no business winning two games and being close in any others. Or let's put it this way: How many games would the Cavs have won if Cleveland had Curry and GS had Lebron? Has there ever been a finals with such a lopsided matchup? |

Don't get me wrong, David...I understand what you are saying. It's pretty standard to hold such a celebration after you win a championship, but a lot of teams have opening day celebrations...pretty common actually. I didn't see Cleveland's celebration, so I'm guessing they could have got overexcited

bury the Warriors, Lebron scored ZERO points. He set a record this year for worst 3pt shooting percentage playoffs, min. 100 att. He takes too many bad shots. I just got through watching the Pistons 30 for 30. Jordan talks about how after losing to the Pistons, he knew he had to work harder. By the 3rd time, he had made himself into a champion. His last 6 full seasons with the Bulls, he won 6 championships. Lebron just doesn't have it. After losing to the Spurs and Mavs. After his other playoff failures, you would hope that once he got over the hump, he would take that next step. He wants the championships without the work. 2 years ago, it took a miracle 3 by Allen to bail him out. Last year, they were blown away by the Spurs. This year, he didn't have the conditioning to go in the 4th quarter. It's not like Jordan, Magic, etc. never played heavy minutes, because all superstars do when the title is on the line. Poor Cavs because they had to start 2 bench players. Golden State started a bench player the last 3 games and he won the MVP. These guys are the best in the world. There isn't that big of a drop off. Of course the Cavs are the favorites. They practically have a bye to the finals. The Warriors have to get by the Spurs, Thunder, Rockets, Clippers, etc. They could have a better team and not even make the finals. At this point, I expect Lebron to lose in the finals every year. Maybe the stars will align and he'll get one more ring. |
