It’s not a bailout when it’s a designed play. Meanwhile, LeBrat got bailed out by Ray Allen & ran to the corner after he handed the rock to Kyrie so he could improvise.
All I did was respond with a post. Follow your own advice.

« designated plays »
You forgot to mention that Lebron kept Miami in the game with a huge performance and a huge 3 before Ray’s shot, if not for that, Ray’s ahot would have been pointless
Lebron also carried them in game 7
The Kyrie play was designated, the switch was on purpose because Steph couldn’t guard Kyrie, it’s called a favorable matchup. It’s the smart play and MJ would have been praised for his high BBIQ, ing hypocrites
or also conveniently forget to mention his clutch block and his all time performance during the series

At this point there really are no arguments putting Lebron below magic or bird. And I magic and bird are my favourites.
Duncan has also bypassed both by most accounts. I can see points for both but when you look at the overall body of work Duncan > bird or magic.
4>2
4>2
4>0
must have been nice to be able to consistently take clutch shots on midgets and mediocre defenders like byron russell, craig ehlo, john starks, and dan majerle tbh, as opposed to elite defenders with size strength and length like kawhi, pg, tony allen, jimmy, iggy, etc...
But Jordan’s will to win! Tuff defense! Intense game face! Herp Derp!
Yeah, I forgot to mention how 40 year old Ray Allen carried the “GOAT” who was wetting the bed for a majority of the game & series till that point.
Yeah, LeBrick couldn’t score when Curry switched on him in the last 4 minutesThe Kyrie play was designated, the switch was on purpose because Steph couldn’t guard Kyrie, it’s called a favorable matchup
Impressive chasing down Iggy who was playing with a broken back.also conveniently forget to mention his clutch block
1 40 y old Ray Allen was better than younger Paxson, Armstrong and Kerr
2 clearly you didn’t watch the series
3 broken back Iggy still a superior athlete than any healthy plumber Jordan guarded
Big Dummy, I’m well aware LeBrat/Kyrie were running a train on Ezeli/Curry after Bogut/Iggy got injured (along with being gifted Gm 5) which is actually what makes the final 4 minutes embarrassing. The fact is that LeBrick ed out in the last 4 minutes when push came the shove & handed the keys to Kyrie during the possession with the highest stake then literally stood in the corner. Dude followed it up by rolling on the floor like he got shot b/c he needed an alibi for missing FTs.
TOSB Danny would have blocked broke back Iggybroken back Iggy still a superior athlete than any healthy plumber Jordan guarded
Duncan's closer to 5 than 10 imo, but otherwise I agree with this.
I honestly think player debates are obsolete now. They probably should've always been. Eras are so dramatically different from one another, with each era favoring different skillsets. Players like Shaq and Duncan would be marginalized in today's NBA. They didn't have much range and probably couldn't guard the modern pick-and-roll. They'd be all-star level, but not the dominant forces they were. On the other hand, players like Nikola Jokic wouldn't be +6 RPM players in the late-90/early-00s. Weak post game by that era's standards and his passing game would be negatively affected by the congested spacing of that period. And guys like Duncan Robinson would be driving a truck back then.

You don’t think Duncan who hit top of key twos with ease could adapt? and Robinson would be unstoppable as even better athlete and skilled Greek freak. Even Shaq early on was very quick but would struggle more.
David Robinson probably has the best athletic toolkit to dominate in today's era from the 90s centers. His makeup is ideal, actually. He would be able to switch on anyone, get to the rim at will with all the spacing, and if he learned how to shoot a 3, he'd reign as a top 3 player in this era for awhile. David's issue back then was that he didn't like to play back to the basket. Bigs having a post game is unimportant today, so that wouldn't be a problem.
Duncan might be able to adapt, but that additional 3 or 4 feet of range is sometimes tough to develop.

Your mom took this performance enhancing
And still would have a winning finals record. You are missing the point. No Kyrie or Bosh to secure the rebound and pass it to Ray those are two more direct finals losses.
Clearly you took it too
Every superstar needs help, it's not 1 vs 5
Get over it
Not every superstar handpicks and forces best talent in the league to get to their team because they have a losing record in the finals
Jordan couldn't do that because the CBA was different back, but if he could he would have
He was constantly throwing the FO under the bus
And at the end of the day he had MVPippen, Grant, Stern, Rodman, the best 6th man and the best international player at the time in Kukoc, opposition in the Finals and wasn't coached by Tyronn Lue or Mike Brwn
Pippen of course
