    So, you're saying Lebron is a 6-speed Mustang, whereas Jordan would throw his Ford GT into 7th? :wink:

    If LeBron gets the calls most superstars get. He'd probably have more Finals wins


    Question for you: are you as much of or more of a Lebron apologist than you are of Eli Manning?


    Poor Lebron!

    just saying
    He gets all the call he should. It just seems like he doesn't because he whines like a bitch when he doesn't get the others.
    Yep. The Sidney Crosby of basketball. Twice as much acting like a little bitch as talent... and they have TONS of talent.  There's a reason why they are commonly referred to as "Leflop" and "Crysby."
    in your world, maybe.
    I didn't give them those names.

    There's no way Jordan is faster end to end than Lebron.  I agree with you.  LeBron is probably 4.3 in his 20s. Probably 4.6 now.  He was first team All State as a receiver as a bloody sophomore... in Ohio where the best athletes always played football.  Freak.

    I was just having a little fun quip with what Chris said about MJ playing with another gear and LBJ staying in the same gear.

    Cool little story on the famous "Shrug Game" by the GOAT.  Dude was ruthless and that's what will always separate him.


    Great.. Jordan was a dick.  We already knew that.  He was also a compulsive gambler who had to play baseball for two years.  Awesome.  
    I'm not going to hide my love for Jordan, the player, but after reading that article, my appreciation for what he bought to the court grew again. I'd much rather have that player who was fiercely competitive, than the other option on my team. I don't see that as him being a dick at all.

    Opinions will differ, but at least you knew he left nothing on the table.

     I do love the hyperbole on the gambling suspension though, and maybe it was true, but I personally don't give a shit what he did with the money he EARNT
    The year Lebron beat GS, you don't remember him talking trash to Curry?  This was a different Lebron then we were used to seeing.

    He blocks shots, D's up, run's men down, rebounds, assists, scores at will.

    Lebron does this on a regular basis but everyone is so used to seeing it that it doesn't register now.  Lebron knows he's the best player on the court and his play shows it.  He's consistently doing the same things over and over.  He is always playing full speed.  Jordan played with another gear while Lebron is stays in that gear.
    I don't think I mentioned Lebron once in my reply. I was just replying that I didn't think that MJ was a a dick for trash talking.

    Lebron is the best player on the court and has been for a long and consistent time. No disagreement on that either, but I don't think he's better than Jordan, but you probably won't change my mind and I probably won't change yours. 
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me

    I don't have an issue with Jordan talking trash to the opponents.  Talking it to teammates...eh.

    Wow, Game 3 was the KD appreciation game. 13 career Finals games and never has scored under 25? He’s by far the most dominant and efficient scorer in the league and right there with MJ & Kobe as the greatest scorers I’ve witnessed in my lifetime. There’s literally no way to stop him once he gets going. I still remember him dominating Kawhi Leonard in the 16’ playoffs, for some reason that one always stuck with me, Leonard is the best wing defender in the league and KD completely took him apart. I always thought if that guy couldn’t contain him then nobody could and 2 years later that’s become pretty obvious,

    They win tonight then shit the bed the next game...

    They blew 2 games.  They should be up 2-1 right now.  They invent new ways to lose.

    I think I'm done commenting on here for a while as I'm that butthurt from this series...

    They are 10-1 underdogs or something like that. I'm not good with betting lines. The fact that they got that close twice is probably better than what most people thought would happen
