i actually wish lebron would go to the spurs - then you'd see what im saying.. trade, or buh-bye pop
You do realize Lebron has a higher win shares/48 than MJ ever had in a single season right?

Lebron has 4 of the top 12 seasons alltime; Jordan has 3 of the top 12. Lebron is also only slightly behind Jordan went it comes to that stat and how cares if he does it the pg style way, jfc you're points are stupid. Jordan's career PER is 27.91 and Lebron's is 27.61. obviously Jordan has a few years of Washington mixed in and Lebron has right out of HS mixed in but will likely have a few fade years to deal with.

Not the same, see Mullen's stats.
but more importantly, the spurs didn't have more talent, so their record margin of victory reflects the gap in teamwork between the 2 teams..
Spurs likely had 4 future HOFers on that team--Duncan is a sure fire; Kawhi is a likely and Manu/Parker are HOFers based on Spurs + International. Heat also had 4--so I don't think the talent differential is that great. the Heat won when Wade played decent and lost when he played terribly.
indeed, lebron's stats were achieved while his team had the biggest teamwork deficit ever in a finals.. therefore, his stats can be criticized as "empty", and his style of play as self-serving

Circular bull**** logic. He played better in 2014 than 2013 statswise but his team played worse. Unless he's a doctor or can modify Wade's DNA/healthy,
it wasnt' going to matter

To put the 2014 Finals in perspective, Jordan's Bulls were closer to the 86' Celtics in ortg and ppg than Lebron's Heat were to the Spurs.. That's how HORRIBLE Lebron's teamwork was.. jordan wins 14' finals because his heat would have better teamwork, defense, perseverance and can match the spurs' brand of basketball
keep mentioning 1 series as a great example. again, I don't care. again, unless Jordan some how revived Wade I can't see the Heat with MJ beating the Spurs that year. Wade at times has averaged more ppg in a series than Lebron, in that series and playoff year he nearly averaged half of what Lebron was doing at much worse advanced stat rates.


jordan knew what was needed to win..

this is circular. again he kenw what he needed when he won but obviously didn't know when he lost. did he forget in 1994? did he not know before pippen/grant got into form? you keep talking about how ****ing great jordan was against the celtics without any help--did he some how not know how to win there? Or did his teams get better and then he won so now he knew how to win. Again that logic is really circular and dumb
for example, he only averaged 4 rebs and 2 assists in 1998 Finals.. but his performance was superior to lebron's 17' Finals because jordan scored 38% of his team's points.. for lebron to match jordan's load in 2017 finals, he'd need to average 43 ppg versus the warriors.
so jordan offers rebounds and assists to his teammates to make them feel better? again, we've been over this lebron isn't the scorer Jordan is. again,
lebron plays very good D but wasn't going to make his team instantly into an insane defensive team while basically leading his team in all offensive stats

so lebron clearly underperformed scoring-wise, particularly since the ppg, pace and drtg were so much higher in 2017 finals (115, 100, 115), than the 1998 Finals (88, 82, 106).. btw, lebron only averaged 5 points on 50% ts in the 4th quarter, compared to 11 points for jordan in 98' finals..

lebron's play was fine; again the issue was the rest of the squad after the big 3 + the cavs d just wasn't that good. if they had consistent performances out of TT/Smith/Rjeff and anything from Deron/Frye/Shump the series might have been closer. the Cavs for a number of games missed open looks and they didn't defend well, lebron included; but the team as a whole wasn't great defensively for the season and it showed in the finals against a great team
furthermore, lebron should've expended less energy inside grabbing tristan's rebounds, and more energy on perimeter defense to prevent his assignment from getting a 3rd fmvp.. ultimately, lebron went for the triple-double over defense and a proper scoring burden..

durant was the finals mvp; i'm not sure how often lebron even guarded durant--rjeff guarded him a ton so again you can stop pointing this out like you know something. yes lebron in a few gassed 4th quarters may have guarded Durant but in games 1/2 the game was out of hand before the beginning of the 4th and in the 3rd game lebron definitely didn't play well in the 4th but for the few minutes he did rest that game, the warriors smoked the Cavs.
over and over the same stupid points and same dumb ****. jfc, dude, read some of the points and stop going on the same repeated tangents and points. some of your points don't even make sense nor are logical.

dont let something like rules get in the way. or having any consequences for breaking them.

and dont stop randomly insulting people with different opinions that you just assume they have.

i see you posting in live mid-high stakes nl. acting like you "get" live poker, only to make posts supporting taking pics of random players you think are bad for the game(i.e nits) and outing them online.

however its clear from posts like that and this one here you dont "get" much.

fine if you don't like bonds who couldn't win despite basically super hero stats on solid squads. how about trout? who do you think is the GOAT baseball player; there isn't as much consensus although I know Ruth is typically an answer I hear. it's not like they took away wins or anything at the time. their only punishment is HOF votes.

I mentioned Draymond/Kawhi before, other examples would be Jimmy Butler/Rudy Gobert or Paul George/Jokic. The fact that Lebron hasn't won 70+ games multiple times is solely due to poor superteam composition.

Both Lebron and Jordan have superfluous skillsets with PG/SGs like Kyrie/Wade who are ball-dominant and with bigs who gain value from post touch isos like Love/Bosh. Both would be much better with star teammates like Rodman/Pippen.
building super teams is not easy, it gets harder if you start being picky about which stars fit better together, you gotta take what you can get and try to win championships

Warriors had 2 of the top 3 players in the league. Another guy who's probably top 15, and another Top 20ish player. Throw in a great coach and a great supporting cast. Along with 3 of the top 4 having played together since their rookie seasons and they didn't win 70 games.

But, you know, LeBron should be doing it easy.
also, obviously this. The warriors are probably the best team ever and they didn't win 70 games, they're underdogs to do it in any given year

first off this post was not directed at you specifically, but only a reply to a troll coming out of left field.

in addition i never mentioned ruth, nor may or aaron as consensus goats.

i am merely pointing out that when you mention bonds, most people associate him with taking enough peds that his ***** head outgrew his helmet!

and that taking those peds had a nonzero effect on his career stats.

and we can argue till we are blue about the significance of the nonzero effect, but you can not deny the fact that these athletes(who take peds) are willing to risk their public image, suspension, money, and merit of career accomplishments for such peds that some here say are irrelevant(or at the least a non-factor in goat discussion).

as far as trout is concerned. perhaps we should wait and see. i dont think you can crown him as goat already. based on his performance so far, one can conclude it's a possible outcome.

labron still has a chance to overtake mj. but so far he doesnt have the personal stats or the team accomplishments to legitimately argue that he is goat. the only arguments here to say otherwise is that he faced greater competition or had worse teammates. hard to quantify that.

Lebron has no chance to catch MJ for the MJ slappies. Lebron reals off 5-0 in Finals to end his career, and probably puts up worse Finals stats than he has already done up till now. If that happens and we look back at his 3-5 Finals record with his ridiculous stat lines will his stats now become OMG he's the best? People think he is a choker now, think Larry Hughes was good, and think if Lebron just played better he would be 6-2 in the Finals. If people believe these last 3 things there is no hope for them.

lol i get live poker more than 99 pct of people on this site even though that has zero to do with this thread.

wow i supported a picture of a table full of people on their phones/tablets th e horror!it's funny how that bothers but you not anti social clowns who suck the fun out of poker and even worse berate fish.

the entire league was on steroids so i'm not gonna be self righteous and act outraged about bonds. i also notice despite the fact you brought up live poker threads mention nothing about my aaron/mays comment,which isn't surprising at all. \

as for the bolded- it's clear you're the one who doesn't get much at all. at the time bonds played there was no actual rule against steroids, selig and the owners all knew players were taking them in large numbers and turned a blind eye to it/encouraged it. magically when it fit their narrative to be anti steroid they acted like naive little children and threw bonds under the bus. of course this all goes way over your head. sorry your innocence was ruined when you found out about steroids.

keep fighting the good fight about mj. what's funny is even though he is actually better than lebron people make horrible arguments as to why.

don't forget pippen wasn't that good, jordan didn't leave the bulls to ring chase,lebron is scum for leaving as a free agent (while jordan can retire in him prime while under contract) and true champions like kobe bryant would never leave to ring chase despite the fact lebron waited until he was a free agent to leave after carrying trash for 8 years while kobe forced a draft night trade to play with shaq in his prime.

no you disturbed pos, you supported and encouraged the act of secretly taking pictures of private citizens gambling at a casino and posting it online with the sole intent of "outing" them as nits, anti-socials, clowns, watever. and as bad as they are for the game, that cowardly act is just as bad if not worse!

and while these "bad for game" players are not breaking any rules, you go on to argue that steroids and watever ped is acceptable because everyone else was doing it. you have no moral consistency and you dont "get" chit!

and wat is your point about may/aaron? did i mention them as goat ever? why does your saying amphetamines = steroids need a reply? and also they took it(may/aaron) because you said so? or because you assume so. something you appear to be good at.

that barry bonds never did steroids?

that everyone did back then so boo hoo?

barry bonds never officially got caught with steroids so too bad?

Like kobe would agree to lose millions not playing for 1-3 years

You think first time a draft pick or rookie in other sport, did not try that garbage ?
Imbecile charlotte GM that fell for it imo.

I would draft him and sit him on the bench if I would had too .
A facking rookie, regardless the talent he has.

Imagine if all of them start doing it ...

right

so if kobe demands trade, and the gm does it. its bad gm

if lebron gets nothing but garbage for 8 years and leaves via free agency, its bad lebron

ok

1)you're not too bright so i'll help you out. something can be bad for a poker game without being against the rules. i never said someone is breaking rules by being on their tablet for example.i said it's bad for the game.why is that distinction so hard for you to make?your reading comprehension is terrible.

lmao@the bolded. you are far better at being a comedian than you are at being intelligent or logical. do you even know what being disturbed means? if you think people having their picture being taken in 2017 playing a poker tournament in which the results will be made public is disturbing you must live in a bubble. the world is full of really disturbing things- this is not one of them.


this is also the last time i'm going to reply on poker topics in this thread.

2)my point on mays/aaron is so many people who trash bonds clemens etc either know guys like mays and aaron popped amphetamines like candy but are complete hypocrites about it or they're ignorant of them doing it (like you, which is fine maybe you'll learn something) and look silly with their bonds is the scum of the earth aaron is the real home run king argument.

and no aaron and mays didn't take peds because i said so or assume so. it's well documented and common knowledge for anyone who actually knows about the history of baseball. and not to pick on mays and aaron either. almost everyone did them. despite what old blowhards would tell you, baseball players of past eras weren't quire boys. they were happy to cheat or get an edge where they could. they just didn't have access to the same stuff bonds took.

again there wasn't EVEN AN ACTUAL RULE that bonds broke on the books at the time he played. to top it off the powers of be in the major leagues either encouraged or turned a blind eye to rampant steroid use.

i really don't care who you think is the goat baseball player because your list wouldn't even have bonds near the top which is absurd.great you'd put probably put babe ruth over mays which is fine, but tons of players ahead of bonds making your list worthless.

My point is that Barry Bonds never violated MLB steroid policy which is indisputable fact.

We actually have a whole thread in SE where clowns like you get repeatedly owned on this topic so go ahead and use the search feature if you want to learn something today.
