A40:Good defenders won a defensive award and you're kicking why? I guess when jeffrey wins mvp the media won it for him. Lol! Thats different, everyone knows jordan was great at steals and in some cases blocks but he is not physically capable of handling who lebron can handle. Lockdown anybody? Negro pls he couldn't lockdown Jason TerryYeah right.... Only that he couldn't. Spo had to take Bron off West after Game 1 just to salvage the series. After West shot 100% on himWhich game was this? He was 36. His career already endedNope, that was the nail on his coffin... |

Ersan:And I'm sitting here wondering how any of that is the G.O.A.T's fault. They got to 3 straight Finals so they were a great team. They weren't old so you can't even use their age as an excuse Ersan:He eventually did. That's what counts Ersan:Maintained the status quo. Either way what is bleeding obvious is the competition was tougher in the East so your first round argument falls flat on its a$s Ersan:And woulda promptly gotten bounced by any Western team Ersan:Good. Golden State with the inclusion of K.D, West, Pachulia were still finding their stride. Still won 4-1 Ersan:Are you joking? Not 1 but 3 core players over 34. Lmaoo Ersan:What is your business with The G.O.A.T's gambling? Is he betting with your money? Ersan:The Lakers? A challenger? Lmao! That roster is at least 2 years from being a playoff team if they are lucky. You are in La La land if you think Paul George's addition automatically makes them a factor in the Wild Wild West. L.A >>> Naptown. Get over yourself bro everything ain't about LeBald |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 12:38pm On Jun 19, 2017 |
Ersan:Nonsense. You people need to understand defense goes beyond size. There is no player Bron guarded that the G.O.A.T couldn't, the G.O.A.T knew the fundamentals. Bron is simply athletic and good at helping Ersan:How many bigs can you count in that video? Make no mistake the G.O.A.T could do it all! Even the triple doubles. He just didn't have to Ersan:2014 ECF Ersan:Shame on LeBald for getting called out and sonned by a 34 year old in the NBA Finals. |

SmooshCHN: If you read back, you'd see i also complained about the lack of defense Cavs were showing. And i believed our defense was poor in the finals. Even with the lack of bench scoring, Cavs chances during the Finals could’ve been less grim if they defended up to the challenge of the Warriors, or even if they defended at average. Enjoy your Champ. me sef they enjoy our one year anniversary, June 19th 2016 remains one of the greatest moment in my life. 3 Likes |

SmooshCHN: Tell me the team that's going to beat them in the first round. Only warriors and maybe spurs are capable. Matchmaking doesn't work that way. LeBron doesn't lose first rounds, only Jeffrey does. |
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 8:53pm On Jun 19, 2017 |
Ersan:Utah Jazz, Clippers, Rockets, Warriors, Spurs. You didn't win the regular season match up with these guys except tied with Warriors. (Miss me with that "It's just a regular season game) And there's no way you're making it top 5 in the West with that defense. Once again, 1st round, 2 round if you manage to make it past Rockets/Clippers in 7 |

Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 9:02pm On Jun 19, 2017 |
A40:Nope. You can't have 6'6 Jordan at the post marking a 7 footer. Once a good passer spots the mismatch he'll just pass over him for an easy bucket. Size has a lot to the with it. LeBron, the greatest basketball mind to grace the court doesn't know the fundamentals of defence? You may fault his execution but don't fault this man's knowledge. How many bigs can you count in that video? Make no mistake the G.O.A.T could do it all! Even the triple doubles. He just didn't have toGuarding and stopping are different things. Jordan can't handle hour dimes or collect boards like LeBron can. He's attack minded. LeBron like he always explains is a true triple threat. A combination of all time greats. Put the mailman, magic, Jeffrey and a little Shaq in one person. That's the greatness that is LeBron. 2014 ECFWest averaged 16 a game. He was bigger and stronger. LeBron admitted guarding him had a toll on him. But I think his goal was just to stay with him rather than lock him down because it will wear him down on the offensive end. He got his revenge. No one will forget that dunk, everyone hates Jason Terry. |

Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 9:29pm On Jun 19, 2017 |
A40:None. I can use their age as an excuse. Dynasties fall Mr A. He eventually did. That's what countsAfter they aged, wilted and dismantled. That's what counts. Maintained the status quo. Either way what is bleeding obvious is the competition was tougher in the East so your first round argument falls flat on its a$sLeBrons finals competition is tougher so your 6-0 argument is poppycock! And woulda promptly gotten bounced by any Western teamI disagree. Nope. KD fit in faster and better than anyone ever projected. And they were already a 73 win team. 3 legends over 34. At that age, in that year. No one slept on them. What is your business with The G.O.A.T's gambling? Is he betting with your money?LeBron can't help if he's bald. Aesthetics don't define a man. Jeffrey chose to be a gambler and a coon. I can never respect that. Typo. Meant to say a new challenge. With magic at the helm of affairs good things are to come. Everything know the NBA is about the king because the king is the NBA. Warriors win NBA title, Headlines: LeBron loses NBA finals. GOAT standards. |

Ersan:Good luck. Joe Dumars - 28 Isiah Thomas - 30 Mark Aguirre - 31 Dennis Rodman - 30 The G.O.A.T won his last title at 35 and was still the best player in the league. They have no excuse Ersan:I repeat The G.O.A.T won his last title at 35 and was still the best player in the league. They have no excuse Ersan:He had enough talent to avoid defeat in 3 of those 5 L's. You just dey yarn megedefegede walahi taiahi Ersan:We've seen 67 win teams lose in the first round. This 73 win argument is tired. The Heat were the most loaded team in the league. FACT Ersan:34, 35, 36. With 1000's of mileage on their creaky bones. Allen and K.G were in their 16th year in the league. 16!! Everybody can't be like the G.O.A.T that still did it at 35. He's the exception not the norm Ersan:Lmao who your respect epp? I don't care for you nitpicking brehh. We all got our vices. The G.O.A.T's vices has not affected anybody's means of livelihood or broken any laws Ersan:Not in 2 years. We would see I like Magic Ersan:Thanks to paid Lebtards like Nick Wright, Shannon Sharpe and the casual fans who won't praise the Man who was the best player in the series Kevin Durant |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 11:21pm On Jun 19, 2017 |
Ersan:I have proven to you that the G.O.A.T could do it in spurts and out of necessity if need be, defense is mostly mind over matter that is why Ben Wallace and Dennis Rodman at 6'7-6'8 could render Shaq completely useless Ersan:Lmao. Bron is a help defender! You would see how useless he becomes when his athleticism leaves him and he can't make those weakside plays no more Ersan:LeBald did not stop anybody either. Klay played good D doesn't mean he stopped Kyrie. The G.O.A.T's numbers were above average for his position. Under Phil emphasis is not on assists go and check his title teams. B.J Armstrong, Ron Harper, Derrick Fisher were the PGs and nobody dominating assists in all 11 titles he won Ersan:That is another reason he is not the G.O.A.T. The G.O.A.T is not like anybody! Think about it! There is nobody saying his game is like this and that. He made his own lane Ersan:LeBald always has issues guarding ninjas his size. This is why we tell you he is a help defender. Na beg dem dey always beg am just to play at PF despite being built like a Center Ersan:Newsflash: Nobody cares! Terry by then was a 36 y.o OAP averaging 5pts per game |

Rodman in 1993 Isaiah thomas was injured in 1991 when the bulls won, swept the pistons BTW. The G.O.A.T won his last title at 35 and was still the best player in the league. They have no excuseHere we have the first instance of you contradicting your self. He had enough talent to avoid defeat in 3 of those 5 L's. You just dey yarn megedefegede walahi taiahiOnly loss he could have avoided was Dallas. We've seen 67 win teams lose in the first round. This 73 win argument is tired.

They were exceptions too. If jeffrey was the best player in the league at 35 they too were a force. Lmao who your respect epp? I don't care for you nitpicking brehh. We all got our vices. The G.O.A.T's vices has not affected anybody's means of livelihood or broken any lawsNope, but his silence and inactivity has. Not in 2 years. We would see I like Magic Thanks to paid Lebtards like Nick Wright, Shannon Sharpe and the casual fans who won't praise the Man who was the best player in the series Kevin DurantAnd bums like you that keep shouting 3-5. Dont transfer all the blame to someone. The first thing you did after warriors won was to call out cavs fans. Sharpe and wright dont have half the influence bayless the lebron hater has. So its actually the haters not the supporters to blame. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 12:06am On Jun 20, 2017 |
A40:Lol! They had the reach and the build. Jordan is just not strong enough. Stop it with this funny argument about jordan guarding centers. Lmao. Bron is a help defender! You would see how useless he becomes when his athleticism leaves him and he can't make those weakside plays no moreLol! He will still have that brain. He will still have his passes. Lebron without his athleticism is still magic johnson. LeBald did not stop anybody either. Klay played good D doesn't mean he stopped Kyrie. The G.O.A.T's numbers were above average for his position. Under Phil emphasis is not on assists go and check his title teams. B.J Armstrong, Ron Harper, Derrick Fisher were the PGs and nobody dominating assists in all 11 titles he wonYou misunderstand me. Jordan stopped, he didn't guarding. That is another reason he is not the G.O.A.T. The G.O.A.T is not like anybody! Think about it! There is nobody saying his game is like this and that. He made his own laneSo did magic. So did wilt, so did hakeem, so did shaq. Are they all goats? LeBald always has issues guarding ninjas his size. This is why we tell you he is a help defender. Na beg dem dey always beg am just to play at PF despite being built like a CenterWest was NOT his size. He was taller and stronger, Why waste your energy guarding west any way? There is no player in the NBA he cant effectively guard if he wishes too. Except you know the players you just cant guard. Newsflash: Nobody cares! Terry by then was a 36 y.o OAP averaging 5pts per gameLol! BTW, Bron wasnt even guarding terry. Terry just loves to talk shieet! Heck he wasnt even a starter. And lebron was having a bad series then period. He choked, never denied that. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 12:11am On Jun 20, 2017 |
A40: I remember him indirectly hinting he wanted to play for the cavs. Saying he wanted to play with kyrie, then korver of all people another cav and tried to give some bs explanation for that to cover his tracks. Personally i dont think hes who we need, especially if PG is the alternative. |
