Cognitive Dissonance 101

>>76223355
Cognitive dissonance is being stuck on the idea that Jordan is the GOAT

>>76223355

except lebron wasn't a manufactured superstar. Lebron had to play like 10 years of amazing basketball behind kobe/duncan and struggle to win a ring before anyone gave him the credit he deserved.

Curry on the other hand, was a literally who shit player and suddenly has one good season while everyone else is injured and suddenly millennials and ESPN automatically claim him the GOAT.

It's completely different. Lebron earned his stripes, Curry just fell ass backwards into stardom

Reminder LeBron never won a ring until he joined two other All-Stars/superstars, both times also surrounded by seasoned pros who used to be top dogs throughout their careers. Reminder he's the pettiest and most insecure superstar ever.

Fucking this. And he never won without being surrounded by other hall of famers and arguably one of the best coaches of all time.

>>76224980
Reminder that every superstar ever was carried by other superstars.
Reminder that LeBron lives in an era of social networking which makes his character flaws more obvious. If Jordan was active in this era he would have ended up in prison by now.
Reminder that comparing superstars from across different eras is retarded.

>>76225205
Still doesn't change the fact LeBron has never won a ring without JOINING other superstars. They don't come to him like the mid-30s Rodman came to Mike, no, he comes to THEM while they're in their primes.

Reminder that LeBron averaged only 19.5ppg in his first two finals. Jordan averaged 33.7 in his first two

I want to be a fan of an NBA team.

Which team do you recommend?

>>76225898
Depends, do you like the MLS (Major League Soccer)?

>>76225910

>>76225934

Then look no further than Seattle my friend. Their basketball team is a living joke and their WNBA team is more popular now. They also have a Major League Soccer (MLS) team!

>>76225898
Cavs and Thunder for the best dunks around

Please take a moment to admire the great LeBron for the special talent he is. It never gets old looking at the King's history. So many accomplishments Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan will never achieve:

1.Only player in NBA history to quit because of Air Conditioner.
2.Quit on his team the year after he promises a championship.
3.Dunked on by a high school kid then confiscates the tape.
4.Bail on the dunk contest 9 times.
5.Only able to win a ring with 2 superstars.
6.Play on same team as his moms boyfriend.
7.Average 1.8 pts in the 4th quarter of NBA finals.
8.Lose not 1, not 2, but 4 times in the Finals.
9.Host a national televised TV show to leave his team.
10.Go 2 for 18 in an NBA playoff game.
11.Get stuffed by a player under 6 feet. (Nate Robinson)
12.Flop every single game in the playoff 5 out of 6 finals games by dropping FG% by 18.
13. shilled, voted for hillarry and got BTFO
14.0 Rings if not for refs calling early fouls on Durant and Westbrook it threw them out of rhythm, made them play soft, and sit for big parts of the game which changed the flow and momentum of the finals.
15. First person to show his dick and lose in a Finals game.
16. got shut down by a bench player who ended up getting finals MVP
17. could not post up jj barea
18.got outscored by Jason Terry in an entire finals series

>>76226093
no thanks.

yeah the regular season is based, all the small drama's and petty comments by analysts that trigger players. The big mid season matchups. Playoffs are meh, but the finals is where it's at, should be shortened, no need or 7 games, just lower it to best of 5 or something to increase intensity.

why does he chew the mouth piece?

>>76227201
>white

>>76227251
because he cant eat Kd's dick in public.

>>76227234
The main reason I like it is because I truly believe anything can happen, in most playoffs we know who's going to win before it happens. Sure there is always injuries and we have some surprise like last years Okc, but for the most part anything before the finals is worse than the regular season in terms of watchablity.

>>76227326
yeah plus the post season drags on soo long. Did they really need a week of rest after playing 82 games plus playoffs? just get it over with. Once round one is over, everyone is waiting for the season to end already desu.

>>76227505

>football game is a coin flip
Do you need to be handheld step by step or are you capable of putting 2 and 2 together?

>>76227538
That's not what ironic about your statement. It's ironic that you called football predictable when the same two teams have been playing in the finals for three years straight. Now that is ironic.

1 game playoffs are retarded as fuck. Even in fucking football. I've always said NFL teams should play 2 games and whoever has more points combined advances.

since you guys mentioned the NBA draft, who the fuck is Fultz being compared to, are there any comparisons?

>Jerry west is 1-8 in the finals

For the Cavs to win, three things need to happen;

1. LeBron needs to play at the level he has been playing at currently in the playoffs. Most importantly, he needs to shot a good percentage from 3. That will open his game up.

2. Kyrie Irving needs to outplay Stephen Curry.

3. Kevin Love HAS to be able to stay on the floor for a solid portion of time. If he can't play, the Cavs offense isn't nearly as potent.

lebron = GOAT

Mental retards like Nate Thurmond, Jerry West, Paul Arizin, Hal Greer, Al Attles ... can we stop with this "Wilt didn't have no help" meme? Chamberlain just was a soft bitch and like LeBron today an inherent loser that depends on others to achieve glory because he himself is not made for the decisive moments.

Today I will remind them.
>Lebron prevented Wade from getting his second FMVP and 4th ring
reminder that Wade would be the 2nd greatest SG if Lebron wouldve never choked in 2011 and would've 3peated

>>76228388
Nice thumbnail queermo.

>>76228388
Wouldn't of been in the finals to begin with fagboi.

>>76228388
>and would've 3peated

but if they won in 2011 they definitely would have lost in 2013.

Think about it, if not for the endless humiliation the heat faced in 2011, they wouldn't have had the heart or the chemistry to rally together in the 4th quarter of the 2013 finals and make their miraculous come back. Lebron would have just sat there and died. He needed to lose that first championship to know how painful it was and use that as fuel and the rest of the team fed off that energy.

Where do I apply to become a coach?

I got big ideas that can help stop lebron but it's all top secret....

LEBRON JAMES

THE MANS NAME BY ITSELF TRIGGERS THE SPORTS WORLD

GREATNESS

LEBRON JAMES

>>76228493
how can you say that when it has been proven that lebron is thirsty as ever after 6 straight finals appearances.

>>76228532

I just think his career would have went an entirely different path had he won in 2011.

It would have all seemed too easy for him, he would become entitled and not trained as hard over the off season. Probably still beats durant the next year but it takes 6 games instead of 5. I just think the whole heat team would become lazy and entitled had they immediately just started winning chips.

Lebron is still thirsty now because he knows if he loses his legacy is fucking done. 2011 still haunts him to this day.

>>76228592
that mavs team was stacked though, no one would have beaten them, lebron gets a pass.

>>76228626
>this guy
What gets me on 2011 was that if he played fucking average he would have won. that was his biggest choke job.
>>76228592
I really dont think lebron would have been entitled. This whole thing is him being driven to be like mike. winning in 2011 wouldnt have changed him but his whole narrative would have changed a lot faster.

>>76228626
lmao what the fuck are you talking about? The 2011 Mavs would have been "stacked" if they were all 5 years younger. It was a ragtag group of people past their prime suddenly finding a spark again and rallying behind Dirk.

after lebron lost the first one against the mavs, he had to, i mean he had to win it next season or it would have been embarrassing. Look at his stats the next season, that season was his prime roid season, where he was Miami's savior, dude was unstoppable. Back where even if he was down 15-20 going into the fourth no one expected him to lose, that was his bread and butter. IF he had won his first title, we would be talking about the possibility of lebron passing Jordan, it would be a scary and legit conversation. Would he have stayed? maybe, remember, people were talking about Wade retiring because of his fucked up knees, it's a miracle he's still playing after that season. 4 rings he would have, going into competing for the 5th, we wold be getting kobe-lebron talks to. Fucking mavs shitting real life up. fuck of nowitski.

even then they still fucked it up at the end

I thought we were done arguing about Lebron after he completely annihilated the only 73-win team in league history, who were also the defending champs and had the first unanimous MVP.

Yet here we are the next year, still talking about him, still saying "no really, he wins the NEXT one and he's greater than Jordan" Bitch yall people already admitted he was GOAT, ya'll witnessed the fucking impossible and you still just change your mind and say he still needs to be challenged???

Are yall haters going to pop up 10 years from now after lebron has 7 rings and already retired saying he has to come back from retirement and score 100 points before he's on MJ's level? It's getting ridiculous at this point.

look faggots, the NBA is fixed and seeing the Warios are fav to win (sweep) isn't in their interest. the NBA are more likely to push for 7 games (or an upset) through manipulation. like suspending durant or green or letting physical play on Curry goes uncalled. I hope the warios sweep in a boring ass series so they try to stop meme teams from forming in the future

Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, MJ, and Kareem Abdul Jabar are all equal if not better than Lebron.

you don't understand mate, everyone will keep arguing until he reaches jordan level rings or suprasses him. What was impossible last season was made possible, we're facing a new impossible, a greater impossible. Jordan has never faced this level of impossible. This will be THE title that will put lebron over the hump when it comes to greatness, kobe never faced this level of impossible either. If he gets this 4th title, all he needs to do is rack up 2 more easy one's to be considered goat by few, or 3 to shut everyone one up.

>>76229158

>>76229226
>implying I said he would win 5 for the land

lol, it's so obvious he's just going to settle for a couple rings to make up for leaving them the first time, then team up with westbrook in LA to play out the rest of his career. The storyline pretty much writes itself

>>76229191
Not really. If a team from the 80s played at their peak and the warriors today played at their peak the warriors would win simply because they take more 3s giving them more points.

It really just depends on what rules they play with but even then I would still give the advantage to the warriors because of their speed.

Now you may say well 80s post game is superior to today's and while that is true today's 3 pointer is superior to the 80s. So once again if both team trade baskets warriors will always be the "better" team.

when will this "lebron is shit because he's not clutch" argument end?

it's fucking retarded. no, lebron isn't clutch. if the game is tied and you need to score to tie/win, maybe you don't want the ball in his hands. no he's not jordan or even joke.

but you people fucking ignore the fact that it's lebron scoring 35+ points that puts whatever player gets the last shot in a position to tie/win the game in the first place

>>76229298

I agree, but clutch shots are only like 1% of the game. There's still 47 other minutes of a basketball game. However I would much rather the ball be in Kobe's hands than anyone else

>>76229298
This is why Kobe fags are unbearable because he could play like complete shit all game while his team carries him but if he makes the game winner he's the better player. And it's funny because Kobe is one of the worst clutch shooters statistically.

>>76229298
*he's not jordan or even kobe

>>76229298
Blame talking heads in the media for making closers and overblown meme

>>76223760

You're pathetic.

>>76229293
men has a point though, those 80's team would be better with or without hand checking. want to know why? every highlight will show you, they were more physical, and those teams had way more goons that the warriors zaza pachulia. It all depends on the rules you want to apply to this conversation. Golden era rules, every team in the 80's and 90's and 00's would rape the warriors, Rough up curry and mental midget Durant. The only one that i can see holding his own is klay. Curry would cry on every play. What i'd give too see the real isaiah thomas punch curry straight in the face.

>>76229330
>statistically.
you stat nerds need to gtfo, stats dont say shit.

>>76228126
Shaq is /ourguy/ !

>>76229440
You don't understand, toughness doesn't get you points. With the warriors being so efficient at 3s and much quicker than any 80s team they would most likely get a lead every game which means a 80s team would play from behind all game. Hand checking wouldn't affect them as much because they always run off the ball, yeah Isiah could give curry a cheap shot here and there but then imagine Isiah having to chase curry off screens all game, he's literally never done that.

No. Shaq got his points because he's a generational player, he was just physically stronger and bigger than most centers back then. It's like Lebron today, he bullies his way to the basket but it doesn't mean he's tough.

As for MJ I don't even have to explain how he got his points. He was a great slasher and had the best midrange game of all time.

>>76230041
>>76229998

realistically, does anyone think Lebron can pass curry when all is said and done?

Right now they're 1-1 against each other. Curry wins this year, so that puts him at 2-1 vs. lebron. Curry will probably win 3-4 more rings with the way this current warriors squad is constructed, that puts him at 5 minimum, not counting the rings he wins after he becomes a sharpshooting ragged veteran.

I mean sure lebron will always have 2016 I guess, but I just don't think 3 rings could compare to the 6 minimum curry will have. And I say this with all honesty, as a Lebron fan that supports golden state

If you are an NBA team, why wouldn't you stack your roster with 5 or 6 big centers and just have them pound other team's stars all game?

At what game do you think the NBA will step in and make sure this goes to 7?

I think Game 3 if it's 2-0.

If Kobe wasn't injured all the time he would be at 7 rings. He had all the pure talent of MJ but couldn't match his durability or athleticism. I still think the Lakers would have reached the WCF at least that year had his achilles not exploded. They were a garbage fire that year but Kobe and Pau started running the triangle again before the playoffs that year and were finding success.

Then why didn't he do it you dumb fuck? Had he been able to shoot effectively from even mid range the 2011 finals would have been far different. After that year he told Bosh to fuck off from the paint and become a meme shooter/pnr defender so that he had space to freight train the hoop. We can sit here and open a whole can full of "what ifs" to the point where I can claim if MJ was the same player at 7 foot tall he would have 5 more titles.

>Hand checking wouldn't affect them
this comment lol. Hand checking would have a major effect on these games. if we played by 80 and 90s rules the warriors would lose.

That has to be the worst argument I've seen from a Lebeta apologist. He needed to be told what he already KNEW and could SEE? It was his own pure negligence and lack of talent to blame, nothing else. People love to claim Lebeta makes his teammates so much better but the only way he knows how to win is by telling his teammates to get the fuck out of his way and hang out around the perimeter with their dicks in their hands while he freight trains to the hoop waiting and hoping for a pass like a dog waiting for table scraps. Kobe could score from anywhere and play with ANYBODY because he could score from ANYWHERE. People need to talk about that difference a lot more and probably will in the near future.

Also I've never seen Lebeta do something even close to this:
