WE OUT HERE
reminder that lebron is NOT better than duncan
>5-1
>3 finals MVPs
>3-5
>3 finals MVPs
>duncan is 2-1 against lebron and would be 3-0 if not for ray allen bailing him out
ib4 the fucking retard who says "b-but magic says he's better!!!!!" come up with something different mong
LeBron is not as good as Kobe or Duncan
He might not even be as good as Westbrook
>>76540462
>needing Irving and Love
Love was absent in those finals though. He got fucking benched and outplayed by Richard Jefferson.
>a hurt Curry
There's also no truth to the rumor that Curry was injured. The media just adopted it because they needed to somehow excuse the unanimous MVP for yet again collapsing in the finals.
>suspended Green
Green was suspended for just one game.
>>76540498
Duncan played 4 years in the NCAA and had way more experience as a rookie compared to Lebron. He also came in on a stacked Spurs team, while Lebron played with nothing and no one.
>>76540691
If Lebron had Popovich as a coach he'd have 6 rings by now
>>76540699
Westbrook would be better than LeBron if he had Lebron's physique
what would it take for lebron to pass mj in your mind? what would it take for him to become the clear GOAT?

Want to hear a really funny joke?
>LeBron
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA THAT'S THE JOKE
>>76540727
>Duncan has Popovich
>Lebron doesn't
You understand that my point is that it didn't actually happen, right? You're not this retarded, right?
>>76540691
Your argument is based on nothing but championships which is a team accomplishment and something that was considerably easier for Duncan considering he came into the league on a team that already had the players to contend and was headed by a consensus top 3 coach.
Come back when you want to compare the players instead of the teams.
>>76540745
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA based timmay does it again

I said saying Duncan is better on the basis of his finals record is fucking stupid.
I know there are people out there with compelling arguments for why Duncan > Lebron and you're giving them all second-hand embarrassment right now.
You should stop posting.

If Nick Wright is such a stupid ass sports analyst you should reply to one of his posts and tell him why he's wrong and why he should leave.
Until you decide to do that, shut the fuck up.
What would it take for you to stop watching the NBA?
It has the least amount of parity in any sport (outside of a few European soccer leagues). People predicted this Finals matchup and champion four months before the season started, the third consecutive version of it (and would be a threepeat champion if not for an epic choke) and it will likely be this for at least the next few years.
A referee literally fixed a playoff series for gambling purposes and went to prison for it, what should be the ultimate bar-none biggest controversy a professional sports league has ever faced, yet people continue to watch.
Fans say freely and openly that referees turn a blind eye to certain fouls and infractions, and openly debate referee conspiracies about calling games certain ways to get the league the result they want for money/TV ratings, yet people continue to watch. Case in point: these 2017 Finals with Games 3 and 4.
There are open conspiracy theories about the draft lottery being either rigged, or a flat out unfair way to conduct a draft (versus a standard league’s draft), yet people continue to watch.
Individual players in the sport are more important and are promoted more than the teams they play for.
The regular season is so long, arduous, and frankly useless (due to over half the league making the playoffs and the best teams always making them and winning in them) that coaches just flat-out rest players even during big matchups, matchups fans wait to see. When your regular season is viewed as worthless, that has to be bad, right?
core of the sport’s intrigue is around media manufactured storylines, "hot takes", and drama. NBA journalists write tabloid-tier articles meant to divide locker rooms or creative "rivalries" between players, and then force them upon players at media sessions
None of these things have led people to stop watching. Is there anything the league could do (or not do) that would legit get you to stop watching the sport?
Or is there nothing?
>>76540708

>>76540935
Duncan never had to ring chase because he was drafted by a team that was already equipped to contend in the playoffs with a top 3 all time coach.
Lebron spent nearly a decade in Cleveland with nearly nothing to show for it because he had an inept FO.

This is what happens when you talk smack all year and try and blasphemy the GOAT, Kobe, and Duncan only to get your shit kicked in in pure blind arrogance not knowing this is what would happen the entire time like everyone else predicted after July 4th.

“They would all kill us. The game gets worse as time goes on. Players are less talented than they used to be. The guys in the 50s would’ve destroyed everybody. It’s weird how human evolution goes in reverse in sports. Players get weaker, smaller, less skilled. I don’t know. I can’t explain it."

I give intelligent and reasonable responses and all each of you can muster is empty 1-2 sentence meme replies with the occasional picture of Kobr or a shitty musician.
I don't need this. You people don't deserve the honor and luxury of talking to me, not with how much my time is worth w/respect to each of you.
Oh god. I just realized I've wasted 30+ minutes trying to argue sports with a bunch of developmentally stunted idiots.
Well, that's just another lesson learned. I'm out. I'll probably return again sometime to see if you people have improved which, considering how low the bar is currently set, wouldn't require a lot.

The 90s were indisputably weaker than the 80s, and, guess what? Jordan didn't win shit in the 80s. Jordan only started winning when Kareem retired and Bird, Magic, and Isaiah slowed down. None of the "great" non-Bulls teams of the 90s--not the Knicks, not the Pacers, not the Jazz--stack up to the Celtics, Lakers, and Pistons.

>Individual players in the sport are more important and are promoted more than the teams they play for.
You answered your own question. NBA fans bandwagon and dickride individual players instead of teams. Most fans just want to see the superstars play and dominate their matchups with highlight reel plays, not see a particular team win.
>>76541222
lebron can't go anywhere for next season

my question is where are these lebron fans? how come all I see is sad cavs fans???
superstars might drive fandom but utlimatly it's tied to a team, no one is happy because someone put up stats but the team they played for lost...
Hayward is going to the Celtics.
Butler Broship is back.
Celtics to face Warriors in Finals.
Get ready for the half-court shot round 2.
>>76541323
NO ONE EXPECTED these fianls to be low ratings, in fact we expected them to be high ratings
next year when the warriors destroy the season and go 16-1 or 16-2 again is when the ratings plummet begins
Do people honestly think CP3 and LeBron could work together? They're both dominant ball handlers that want the ball in their hands, if they played on the same time it would be horrible

The second LeBron loses even half a step the East is going to belong to Boston. Only him in full LeGod mode can keep the Celtics at bay with the leaps they've taken in the last two years.
>>76540856
>bronsexuals
Go back to youtube you fucking faggot
>>76541374
I personally don't even think cp3 on the spurs makes that much sense... if lebron and the cavs can turn love into paul george and sign some more bench players then they have a shot imo...
>>76541376
I was in housten for anime matsuri earlier in the year, it was horrible and I hope to never return...
>>76541413
oh okay in that case then I don't think parity matters all that much, there's a draft and free agency every year and even fanbases of shit teams have something to look forward too...
Plus there's always bean periods in time where a certain nba team reigns supreme, the warriors had it for the last 3 years and they will for the next 2-3 and then some other team will come along...
>>76541437
I'm a Bulls fan and this is 100% right. Brad turned Butler into a well oiled-machine and they're going to fucking roll the next few years. The east belongs to Boston.

This is the the most retarded shit I've ever read. No way he said this.
which team will be the first to take down lebron in da east?
from what we've seen these finals he's fading and looking very exhausted at the end of games.
for me it's the sixers, bucks, celtics, bulls. which teams shoot the 3 best?

>bronsexuals
Go back to youtube, underage
>>76541495
He said it, but he was being sarcastic. You people all do REALIZE he was being sarcastic, right?
>>76541499
I think the 1-seed who is about to add a consensus #1 pick and an all-star caliber player in free agency is a pretty good bet.
>>76541499
bucks duh, no one will be able to defeat giannis antetecoonpo
>>76541499
Of those teams, the Bucks have the best player and the Celtics have the best coach and structure. The Bulls are trash and are going to remain trash, and who fucking knows what's going to happen with the Sixers. Philly is the wild card.
>>76541499
> from what we've seen these finals he's fading and looking very exhausted at the end of games.
he averaged a triple double and played insane min during the regular season and playoffs, even a younger lebron would be gassed at the end of the games...
I saw it'll be another 3-4 years before anyone even challenges the cavs in the east.
also sixers???
lol

No they do not, watch every single match the Warriors played against OKC this season.
Warriors have to many good defenders that lockdown Westbrook which means they need more than him to beat the warriors. They would have to deal with Kanter getting burned on defense and Oscar Roberson to make shots to win i.e it's not going to happen
apologies for the background, im not a creative man. but you get the message. KD is trying to be lebron soo hard, its obvious, there has been many times where KD has said he likes lebron, lebron is better, dude literally is following the lebron script.

that's because KD not great enough to copy. Take that for data.
Really says something about Kobe Bryant, he was able to be Jordan like, and he almost surpassed him with 5 rings, except Jordan had better management and better players around him.
Really want to get into comparing Jordan's supporting cast to Kobe's? because i can tell you, Kobe carried trash to the finals.
Ayyy I just blew the fuck out of someone online with the Hornets and he had the Warriors, dropped 52 with Kemba lol
We did again Clips!
Isn't Kobe the guy who missed the playoffs during his prime?

>>76542361
You're just ignoring his statement and the last two championships?
>>76542361
plus gasol bynum ariza weren't exacly trash either....
now if kobe won the chip when he had that smush parker team and averaged like 35 a game then we can say he carried trash
>>76542361
>he was carried
oh boy, this argument again. Haven't we as a general debunked this? didn't we myth bust this?? i could have swore they made on episode where they tested this.

Whats even the different between iman shumpert and paul george? Both good defenders with decent jump shots. Paul george is just another player to play iso ball with if anything, which doesn't fit a lebron team. Lebron needs 1 iso guy (kyrie), someone to feed in the post from time to time, and the rest just three point shooters.
>>76542433
there's a reasosn shaq never won until wade
there is a reason he retired earlier than kobe.
im not saying he was not Hof status because he is but, yknow, history speaks for itself rook.
>>76542453
Paul George is Kobe Bryant, he can post up
fact:
Lebron will never win another title

12% of paul georges shots come from 10-16 feet. He doesn't post up too often. Plus unfortunately he does think he's kobe and takes a lot of bad/highly contested shots, almost as much as derozen. And having him, lebron and kyrie who tend to drive a lot would just clog up the paint and make it harder for them.
I feel like when LeBron declines it's going to come all at once. Like, one season in the first game he'll just be slow and heavy, and we'll keep waiting for him to shake it off and become LeGod again, but it just won't come. It probably won't be gradual, it will come all at once. Like a quarterback in football totally losing it only a season after he was elite.

this, was showed hat even with a bottom barrel (as long as he's mentally tough) PG, he can play, now idk about keeping a lead it would depend on the PG, but he would definitely based on experience alone can get it done but the cavs would have to limit his minutes autistically, but as long as he can protect the fort while lebron rests it's okay.
get rid of korver, get delly back or get a patrick beverly to come off the bench. sign wade via free agency, he has one year left right? or what was his contract, trade klove, now trading klove is critical they need to get a legit player from love. Maybe cavs can steal roberson promising him a ring with lebron, Roberson would play GayD hard because of >muh thunder.
Basically, the off-season is going to be big for the spuds and cavs. even for the fraud contenders like the raptors, clippers and celtics.

You can't really compare nba players from different eras, it takes a different skill set to compete with different rules and cultures
For instance Lebron is the best at flopping and drawing fouls, and he's also solid at shooting 3s, those are the two most important things in today's nba, flopping and shooting 3a
>>76541323
>>76541361
You forgot the part where the most of the post-season series were sweeps or near sweeps. One game got lots of views but the playoffs as a whole were a huge loss in terms of potential profit.
>>76541499
Noone will take down lebron in the East. Lebron will play out his contract and move to the best fit in the west.

>>76541650
Stop feeding the trolls, OKC would have been sweeped and not one game would have been within 20 points. OKC matches up horribly ot Golden State...did you watch the Rockets series? That was a slightly better matchup considering the Rockets lack of bigs and OKC still got killed by virute of a lack of perimeter/pick and roll defense.

idk about that, maybe if he has another star (not a beta one) and a slightly better center he can do it.
WB alone is better thank klay and memerry
>>76542938
center is not a problem at all, the problem is outside shooting and depth. Adams had a kind of rough stretch to finish the year but he is still a very good center, and Kanter is valuable off the bench.
they need to get much better at outside shooting in a hurry, and a much more competent backup PG to let Russ chill for 12 minutes a game.
>>76542973
>Kanter is valuable off the bench
he's unplayable against the warriors dipshit

>>76542993
Enes Kanter is a terrible matchup against he Rockets, but if you're putting him out there against Zaza or David West it's not really a problem. He was good against the Warriors in the playoffs because he generally featured against guys like Speights and Ezeli. He was keeping the bench afloat when Waiters and Payne were shitting the bed.
>>76543040
>He was good against the Warriors in the playoffs
You didn't even watch a single game. He got burned on the P&R every single time just like in the Rockets series because he can't guard against smaller players at all let alone a simple 1-5 P&R set.
He didn't carry anything.
>>76543040
>Waiters
you mean kobe-wade?
you mean LeWade Bryant?
>>76543088
Lewade JamesBrook
>>76543087
I watched the Rockets series, he was terrible. He was terrible because the Rockets run a ton of pick and roll and run in it a way that pretty much no other team does and in a way that the defensively inept Kanter is unable to defend. Their bench is stocked with bigs who will eat Kanter for lunch. Kanter can't generate offense at a rate against a team like the Rockets to make up for how often he is exploited defensively.
the Warriors bench is not that complicated and have cozier matchups for Kanter to come in an be the focal point of the offense.
of course none of that matters because the Thunder are hopelessly outgunned by the Warriors, but Kanter would be among the least of their worries.
>>76543007
>can presti pull a hawyard or pg13 trade out his ass
considering he was never able to make big time trades "no"
>and some picks
have none
>>76543025
this
>>76543040
wrong, he's terrible against the warriors and always has been...there's this thing called the pick and roll and he's complete shit at it, zaza and david west and excellent at it. Kanter can get switched on all day.
>>76543040
>when waiters and payne were shitting the bed
MAYBE earlier in the playoffs against the mavs that was true but wiaters was excellent (for what was expected that is) against the warriors and Kanter got barely any playing time.
>>76543144
>warriors bench
the warriors have at least 1 all-star all the time and 2 all-stars 95% of the time, not that any of that matters because what you've said is completely wrong, the warriors play a lot of pick-and-roll when it suites them and Kanter has always played badly against the warriors
>>76543150
Kanter was easily the Thunder's best bench player and did well against matchups featuring Ezeli and Speights, both very effective roll and pop players respectively.
and yeah, Payne(I assume you meant that at the end instead of Kanter) didn't play much. He got pulled for Foye who was actually worse somehow.
>>76543175
>both very effective roll and pop players respectively
>Ezeli
>knowing how to shoot at all
LMAO
Okay, 6/10, you actually fooled me and got me to reply seriously at least once.
You're a fucking troll and know nothing what you're talking about at all.
>>76543175
no, i never mentioned payne because he only playe 15 minutes, i said and meant Kanter
Waiters got FIVE TIMES more minutes than Kanter
Kanter was cameron payne tier on the minutes played.
I think you're confusing Kanter's play against Maverick and Spurs because he has always been ass against the warriors
>>76543202
you need to work on your reading comprehension or your basketball knowledge or possibly both, because your reply indicates that you did not interpret that sentence correctly.
for instance, Nene is a good roll man in the pick and roll. He can't shoot, but he can catch and finish around the basket.
meanwhile, Ryan Anderson is a good pop player, meaning he can set a screen and be an effective option to pop out.
if I say Nene and Anderson are good roll and pop players respectively, I mean Nene is a good roll man and Anderson is a good pop man, not that Nene is a good roll and pop man and Anderson is a good roll and pop man. You can look up the meaning of respectively on the internet and maybe even find some articles that will help you understand the context in which it is used.
I'll try to dumb this down a little more if necessary.
>>76543233
>You can look up the meaning of respectively on the internet
>I'll try to dumb this down a little more if necessary.
lel
>>76543233
You're the one who thinks Kanter is playable against the Warriors right? And you're lecturing people on their basketball knowledge?
LOL
Kanter is an incredibly efficient offensive player against certain teams, this efficiency goes down in the playoffs, and it goes completely out the window when you play against any contender (which has both pick and roll plays and solid 3-point shooting).
Not to mention Javale McGee and David West are exactly Kanter's worst nightmare, mobile big-men who can work the pick and roll quite well.

that's because playstyles like Lebron's rarely have longevity. If he doesn't transition into a post-player that uses his athleticism, his playstyle is going to suffer.
That's the true test. He needs to add a post-passing game. most of his passes are results of him seeing the front. If he becomes a post-passer with a legit post game, he's going to prolong his stay on the upper tier.

I swear, the retards that ask this question haven't watched the NBA for more than two or three years at most.
Those three were far from their primes (Durant and Westbrook were 23, Harden 22 at the time of the 2012 finals), and they all pretty much folded on the biggest stage.

well, looks like it makes more sense for his stat conscious self to go to a western conference team now. At least, he won't reach the finals.
don't sit there and tell me that OKC couldn't sign any big talent year after year after year.
It took only one season for Golden State to get KD and all they did was trade some of their bench players and their center.
OKC wouldn't do anything to help KD and he made the right decision to leave.
How bad of a FO must you be to not keep KD on your team? Like, they were REALLY THAT BAD? Westbrook knew he fucked up by not leaving sooner.

Dubs got lucky because they drafted all their players (impressive) and Curry was still getting hugely underpaid.
2018
>>76550350
Give me one good reason why Warriors aren't going back to back.
They're going to catch up to the Celties and Lakies.
I can't wait for the 2018 play offs between the Warriors and Cavs! then the 2019 play offs between the Warriors and Cavs!

Hahhahahaahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahah
Who the FUCK are they going to sign? They're already overpaying a bunch of shitters.
It's literally anyone's game in the East.
I say Celtics/Raptors/Wizards make it out.
>>76550424
lediva thinking of a way to have those fans thrown out.
>>76550453
Bucks are on the come up. Just another star player and they become a legit threat.
>>76550453
Celtics won't compete until their rookies git gud
Leafs are not reaching the ECF
Only Shook will make it and only because he will be entering his prime

There must be someone that actually plays basketball in this thread.
Is there any shirt you recommend for playing in?
Like nike dri-fit or some shit? I am tired that my
shirt soaks my sweat and weights 2-3 killos,
making me change 2-3 shirt during an 2 hour session.
It's still Cavs in 7.

>Solidified in the top 5
Not even ahead of Kobe and he isnt even in the top 5
>>76551398
Bare-chested. That way people can't hold on to your shirt and you don't have to worry about all that other bullshit. It's a bit tougher against physical contact and when you hit the ground but it's worth it. I play with a bunch of "crafty vets" and they always used to hold, tug, grab, etc. until I went bare
>>76551555

He's top 3 and Kobe isn't even top 10

>Durant is the better scorer
>LeBron is the better passer
This graphics just tells us what we already know
I'm starting to think that Ainge was right. Sure he probably could have put together a team that could beat the cavs, but they would have gotten smashed by meme state just like everybody else. Might as well bide his time. Every other team, except the raptors lol, seem to have had the same idea
>>76551665
All 29 other teams are biding their time. We're about to see the worst basketball of our life time. No one is going to try when they know they can't win. Expect massive tanking.
This general needs to learn to respect stephan curry immediately. KD might have won finals MVP, but any true nba fan (a fan that understands advanced statistics) knows that this really curry's third finals mvp. He is the MOTOR of this team. Take away KD and this team is still a lock for the finals. take away curry and you are lucky to make the playoffs. I saw a post earlier that used detailed analysis to show curry is passing better than john stockton and rebounding better than kg and scoring better than dirk. Finally somebody who gets it. but you can see this even with the eye test. steph has allowed KD's game to flourish and go to new heights that it could never have imagined. all while steph is too modest to take any credit. this general needs to start respecting that we are watching one of the greats. (the greatest?)

Blazer fan but LeBron is signing with the Heat in 2018. Cap this.

Just get an UA sleeveless & your fine man. or just wear a white T or a tank
>>76551665
the only teams that have feasible chances are Cavs & Spurs, unless your going there your not winning for the next 5 years

We are about to enter a 4 superteam era consisting of GSW, Cavs, Spurs, and Celtics. If you're a fan of any other team besides these four, you'll be salty for the next 4-8 years
daily reminder /nba/ doesn't know shit about basketball
>>76540951
>is baseball fan
Cavs fan here. Lebron is a great player but he's not the kind of player that can will his team to win. I dont blame him for it though, because ha has been spoiled by everybody around him ever since he started playing basketball.
>>>/g/60891573
let's see those battlestations boys
>>76542175
They are definitely buddies, Durant will just be Lebron for the next 3 years and then go back to OKC to get them a chip.

Also KD is a fucking retard that should be shot for being a complete retard that knows nothing of the past greats.
Says Shaq wasn't skilled, now says Kyrie is better than AI. Fucking joke, ring chasing little bitch that has never watched a damn Lakers or Sixers game from late 90's to 2002.
>>76552980
KD's always been a flaming retard that gets fake courage behind the mic and says dumb shit without thinking about it first.
Always attacked reporters and gave his dumb little opinions. Yet gets mad when people call him out for it then claims it was "misinterpreted."
Just told a bold faced lie about Draymond not calling him in the parking lot after they lost the Finals after Draymond, literally the day before, said that's exactly what happened in detail. Even said the Warriors GM was the one telling Draymond to recruit Durant and called Draymond just before he made the call.
Lying sack of shit.

Post-game interviews say otherwise. Interviews from yesterday and today also say otherwise. Also, him taking a paycut to keep the core of the team says otherwise.

The talented GM who built the 90's title games is dead, yo. The Lakers are done.
Also remember after Shaq left, they took a nosedive. They only won two more titles and there were no Warios. Lebron would get trashed in the West.
