NBA Discussion

KD is either going to Miami or staying in OKC. No other teams make sense for him. I can't see him going to the Warriors and basically becoming the third option behind Curry/Klay.

 

 

 

 

 

LeBron did just as much in last year's Finals, but he didn't have his main guys. Amazing.....one of the best Finals performances I've ever seen.....right up there with Magic, Jordan, Kareem, Bird & Wilt.

Best single NBA finals performance still belongs to 06 Dwade.

Magic's Game 6 in 1980 was the best. He did it in his rookie season on the road in a deciding game.

[Not A Nice Person]

It's not really that, but I don't think he'll want to tarnish his image going to GSW.

 

I don't know if we should trust a fansided article but Gordan Hayward wants to go to the sixers hm.

Well said. ^ This is the best NBA final game performance of all time. Magic won finals MVP as a rookie. I highly doubt anyone can do that again.

Are we talking a series performance or just the series clinching game?

 

Otherwise, yes, Magic's game looks like the best, but he definitely would NOT have won MVP if Kareem went out with the injury. He was killing it all series. It looks like he should've won the MVP anyways.

[Dingdongs]

I was talking about series performance, not individual games. Wade in 06 was literally the f*cking man. Down 0-2 and won 4 in a row. The Magic Game 6 though was dope.

 

Kareem is so f*cking boring. Who wants to watch a 7 foot 2 guy skyhook 35 points a game?

[GTA3Rockstar]

I don't know. It's hard to argue against LeBron this year. The first to win the Finals after being down 3-1, the first to led all plays in every stat and got a triple-double in game 7.

Jordan > LeBron

[Jonesizzle]

What does Jordan have anything to do with what is being discussed? Or are you just saying that in general?

 

Dwayne Wade is supposedly fielding offers from other teams. I can't see that guy in a uniform other than the Heats.

Give it a few years. That alligator might switch sides.

[Funktipus]

Jordan > LeBron

 

We all know that, but it's silly to compare them in the first place.....different positions, different roles.

[uJhatafart00]

I'm not following trade rumors and specutation that much this year, is there any real chance to see KD in NYC next year? Last time I read something kd-related, Boston was a concrete destination for him. How is it going now?!

As of 2016, no debate there. But if you say Magic > LeBron, that might start some debate

The odds of the Knicks landing KD are the odds of the sixers winning the championship.

Jordan > LeBron

LeBron > Jordan IMO Jordan is overrated but like Funktipus said it's hard to compare them both because they play different positions and LeBron's playstyle is closer to Magic Johnson's

[GTA3Rockstar]

lol overrated..

 

That Bulls team could've easily won 7 straight if Jordan didn't quit to play baseball.

Can't believe someone said Jordan is overrated lol. LeBron's playstyle might be closer to Magic, but he's no Magic. Magic is a far better ball handler and passer than LeBron.

You mean 8 straight. The years Jordan went to play baseball the Rockets won back to back.

he played one year in baseball.. he came back at the tail end of the 95 season, but they ended up losing to Orlando in the conference finals.

 

Magic was a great ball handler and passer, wasn't nearly the playmaking machine LeBron is, nor nearly athletic.

LeBron is a better defender too.

 

I've always considered LeBron a combo of Magic & Oscar, only bigger.

[pockings]

Nah, I wouldn't say LeBron's playmaking is better than Magic. LeBron is a better scorer and defender. Magic is a better passer, ball handler, and playmaker

Incoming new memes. lol

[Jonesizzle]

Go back to when Cavs were piggybacking LeBron to the finals.. you know, when he had mo Williams, Antwan Jamison, big z and Anthony Parker has the other starters.

 

Magic was always surrounded by great players, LeBron wasn't.

I lol'd on the TMZ headline. "I JET SKI, BRO ... But Get Me a Helmet!!!"

People always say LeBron wasn't surrounded by great players during the early Cav years. To a certain degree, that's somewhat true. But you can't say they had a bad team, especially the 08/09 and 09/10 Cavs. We all know the story after 10, since then LeBron was surrounded by future all of famer.

[Jonesizzle]

They weren't bad because LeBron literally carried them... not only the team but the organization and that showed when he left for south beach.

[Not A Nice Person]

Free agency began.

 

In other news, Celtics future benchwarmer's travel is viral.

 

[Jonesizzle]

Timofey Mozgof could get a 4 year 64 million deal. just horrible. Imagine what Noah and Howard will take in. there are going to be f*cking SCRUBS getting paid big bucks this off season.

 

Kent Bazemore asking for 18 MILLION a year! hahaha

Linsanity returned to NY, as in Brooklyn.

 

I hope Mike Conley finds a team that makes him shine.

[Zello]

Teams are just throwing money at everyone

[Jonesizzle]

Mike Conley found a team that will make his contract the highest in NBA history. ridiculous. Only players that have been paid so far that is even close to being worth that is Batum and Whiteside.

 

Dwight Howard 3 year 70 million. RIDICULOUS. does these guys do scouting reports?

 

I feel like NBA teams represent Oprah and these scrubs are the audience.. you get a multi million dollar deal! you get a multi million dollar deal! you look under your seat, you get a multi million dollar deal!
