still better than 6-for-24 tbh
You are right ...except the result ...
Miami's Pau is on the bench with an injured ankle.
Didn't grab 15 rebounds tbh
Has a better version of Pippen should not matter against THAT knick team.
Excuses, excuses ...
Could you imagine Magic and MJ on the same team? Any Heat fan who uses Bosh's injury as an excuse should get kicked in the nuts.
Can you imagine winning 10 games in a row, easily beating the team in first place, and still are 8 1/2 games back?
Neither Wade nor James is comparable to either of the players you listed. Don't be absurd.
Lebron is definitely in that category.
wade is not there, but Pippen level?
yes Wade is in THAT class and some would argue better.
Regular season champs! Congrats! How did it work for the Patriots this year?
Now of course Lebron needs the rings. He is only an MVP award away from Magic IIRC ...
His game is not even close to being as good as Magic. Magic was doing hook shots in his rookie year in the Finals. Lebron is basically driving to the basket and dunking. He will never be as good or as beloved as Magic.
You mean dunks, winshare, PER adjusted plus/minus and MVP's will not = love for Lebron?
Game 4 of the 87' Finals says it all.
No ing way Lebron is comparable to Magic or Jordan, not yet. He's got potential to be, but he's not currently. You are talking about top 10 of all time ing players. Lebron is not one.
You act like best record is a bad thing. Maybe that's why your team never goes anywhere but OKC.
You have to remember that a lot of Laker fans have thrown Magic under the bus since he's been critical of them.
It's not a bad thing at all, but it doesn't mean everything.
Oh yeah, both the Mavs and Hornets handled a healthy Spurs team in San Antonio this season.
Never said he WILL be one, he could suffer Greg Oden microfracture surgery and never get a ring. But if Lebron stays healthy he is on pace to be a top 10 player.
MVP's are not enough because Nash has two and people dont give him that love. But he needs a few rings and if he has at least 3 more seasons like this one or the last one he is pretty close.
I just think he has the potential to get there. I think if he wins enough and stays healthy he not only could pass Kobe and Magic but maybe MJ ...but he has to win while he is still the biigest fastest force in basketball ...
Now a young Kobe with a young Timmy D, with their choice of role players... that's a good comparison but even then not Jordan and Magic. They would still be winning rings.
Most of those fans weren't even old enough to remember watching him. Arguably the 2nd best player in NBA history.
Nash will never get there because he doesn't play defense. You have to have a full game, not just be an offensive force. How many PGs other than Magic are in the top 10 all time players?
Any PG who can come out and kick ass playing center is pretty much got it sewed up.
And there are no personalities like him today. He walked into the room and smiled and he was instantly the center of attention, even as a rookie. Shaq is a great personality, but he's abrasive. Magic was just pure magic.
What?! Magic is my all-time favorite laker! LOL
Just saying Lebron has the potential to be in that class of player ...you can hate Lebron for being a coward, or third person egotist ...but you cant deny Lebron has all-time great talent. His game needs work but he's not old yet either.
Magic's jump shot was ty and FT was mediocre. He worked on both to where he led the NBA in FT once and was a decent 3 point shooter later in his career. Who knows how good Lebron will become?
