Mavericks have done their job. Dirk beating Leflop, Wade and Bosh is one of the many reasons I don't tolerate Leflop vs GOAT comparisons. Its a pity Dirk never played with elite teammates he woulda won multiple rings

Stars have moved more to the East than the West. Tell me the last big name who left the East and came to the West
you hate him because he mocked Dirk's illness,let go of your hate and appreciate greatness,everybody chokes sometime.

this your question hard on be small.
Orlando Dwight,na my only answer and you remember,Kobe ran him out of the Lakers.

am sure Jordan was also persecuted for his dominance of the EC In his time.

Too much conspiracy theory in your post,and am tired of Kobe-bron debate on this thread.

Durant was injured for almost a whole season played,with some noticeable rust in the next one na him first full season with no questionable health and you dey tell me say na him be the best player when in that time one Person don win back to back MVP plus one ring join. Guy bone.
Shay na like this curry legacy go they cast?
Me too just dey look you.
maybe be from next season he go dey get that honour.

Bro. i feel you. Curry and KD are my favorite player but in my own opinion, KD tops it all. He is very reliable. He has been for years but people did not recognize him. They always count him as second best which was an insult because he never made it to the finals more than once. In regards to MVP, i dont think MVP really counts as best player in the league. Thats my own view. If Antony Davies had better teammates, he would be in Top 5 has that guys plays very well just like KD.

Well, congrats to you guys. See you again next year and I expect the Cavs to make a coaching change. These team man to man is not behind the Warriors and the fact Klay and Green had a poor offensive game this series/playoff, this loss isn't acceptable.

That for me killed LeBron's legacy as GOAT.
Moreso his fading numbers at the end of the series.
His disappearing act is legendary as the GOAT for choking.

JJ Barrea, JET, Tyson Chandler were the team that beat D Wade and Bosh and others.


GOATs don't choke
GOATS don't have a losing record in the finals

This is beyond hate.

LeBron simply has it easy in the East.

Jordan had to deal with the Pistons Bad Boys and the Knicks (Bad Boys 2.0) and a good number of hall of famers have NO rings because of Jordan. Look it up yourself.

GOAT standards

It's a team sport people.

Lol

It's a team sport when you don't have an answer to a simple question.

3-5 in the Finals will never convince anybody of him being GOAT, no matter how hard u ride his nuts.

or is 3-5 the new standard for GOATs?
If so then MJ, Kobe and even Tim Duncan are immortals.

The same reason LeCry kept either making a bad shot or passing to Kyle Korver in the last 2 mins of a close game 3 is why people think KD is a better player right now.

Greatness is KD taking a cold-blooded three in LeBron's face at the end of same game 3 to basically decide the game. . .

Faith? You must be real phoolish if you thought the Cavs had any shot at a comeback. I wasn't expecting a sweep so the premature ejaculation by Cavs fans after that 1 win was amusing to me

I said it yesterday, it would play out more like it did for the 2014 Heat
Lol.

Cavs fans are some of the most ignorant people walking the face of this earth.
Even when it was clear that the Warriors were a better team, they still hoped that collapse would happen. Not when KD was balling.


The Cavs blew a 3-1 comeback this time around. We all know how they won last year. But let's not get into it.

This question doesn't fit the narrative.

LeBron was driving at the top of the key against a Draymond green who had 5 fouls.
He decided against going to the hoop (and making Green possibly foul him and getting him ejected with at worst a trip to the foul line) in favour of Korver who shot that three woefully.

So the question should be , why does the so-called GOAT seem to defer to others in critical moments when a game is on the line? ? ?

Game 7 last year comes to mind. . .

Yea he did but personally, i think KD is number one. i think this finals proves it. I love Curry and the whole warriors team bringing this championship home but for me, its all KD. He stands tall above the rest. Without KD,i know warriors would still have defeated Cavs. KD just made it better and unstoppable.

I dey here kamkpe. I no dey run.

All those ones calling LeBron the GOAT are those ones who just got off the feeding bottle a few days ago.

Calling someone with a finals losing record the GOAT doesn't even make sense.

Yet someone who is chilling with 6 rings and 6 Finals MVPs is being reduced to nothing because these new jack fo0ls say so; because LeBron posts numbers in an incredibly soft league . . .

Game 3 ending is why Durant > LeWhine.

LeFlop will never take the last shot in a high pressure situation. His fan boys will always make an excuse for him.

a clutch play only count as a made shot in your opinion as it concerns game 7.
i didnt watch the series so some of the details escape.but still you didn't answer the question is a 3pt shot by Korver a bad shot ?
you've jumped head,first into a discussion that doesn't dispute Jordan Goatness only trying to show that Durant wasn't neglected,he suffered and injury that slowed him down for awhile but at his absolute best he beat bron to the MVP.

Boy, this is arrant nonsense. You must think we are in the same kindergarten section as you.

Bill Russell won 11 titles when there were only 8 teams in the league. Figure that out

Robert Horry was NEVER an elite player, he was a role player at least. How many All-Star appearances did he have in his career? Answer on a post card.

So choose another argument to dispel the "rings means GOAT" theory instead of this childish and asinine nonsense you put up there

you miss the point.

The reference to Game 7 last year is to remind you that it was Kyrie Irving who made the last few shots that sealed the tile for the Cavs.
So in the context of the above, along with the scenario I described to you earlier, that question is irrelevant, with due respect to you and your opinion.

Unless you're following the wrong thread, it's clear you don't see those foolishly propagated ideas about LeBron being GOAT. And I can't stand that foolishness.
I say it again. Game three ending shows why people will argue that KD> LeBron. If you haven't seen it, go look it up on youtube.
