u wan start World War 6
Before it starts, I did not mean Lebron is better than Kobe. I personally think, Kobe is offensively better, but Lebron is more polyvalent. wink

NBA is rigged, nba wants game 7....with the way Warriors are playing rn they don't even deserve to lift the championship at Cleveland tbh..... Cuz curry is the mvp make dem no evict baba abi.... Abeg chill with that L
Yes NBA is rigged, when GSW loses. But when they got to game 7 against OKC, Game was totally fair. undecided

LoJ:
Please, give out your Top 10 list, and let me see the players beyond Lebron, who got more rings and who play better.

How many rings did Kobe get from scratch?
You wan give me work this morning. Let's see...

MJ
Kobe
Kareem
Magic Johnson
Duncan

The other 5 should include Bill Russell, LeBron, Wilt, Larry Bird and Hakeem.

Even if I didn't see some of them play, I've watched their highlights, read their profiles and records to put them there.

Abeg, hope I no dey forget person wey matter sef. This topic has been overflogged though

Decale:
MJ
Kobe
Kareem
Magic Johnson
Duncan
I agree with your list almost totally. Except, I would place LBJ between Kareem and Magic, and push Duncan out of the list (I mean top5).

Ohh Duncan is/was a fantastic Player. But to place him beyond LBJ, I think is unfair. Again, Duncan also benefited from a very good team with a great coach, except for his first ring.

We're still saying the same thing about getting it from scratch. If LeBron can nip that ring on Sunday, Duncan is out of my top 5 but not above Magic though, lol

even your attempt to explain your point doesn't change anything you have triggered this war.

@decale
I really would like your opinion on who is better.
Karl Malone or Dirk.
I no we have crazy mavs fans here but this is just na honest question. I swear.

Hian. Na mailman na
Nowitzki sabi defend? The guy never reach Malone age, hin don regress.

Analysts find it hard picking one cos Malone failed with Stockton in picking one ring but I have no doubt in my mind who's better

forget it bro,
its never going to happen the NBA won't suspend curry even if he took off his shoes and beat the ref to death with it.
noo o I'm nt saying they would suspend him o, they saying he shldnt hv been evicted

[color=#808000]See this one. Which feelings? Dem tell you say Ooh Mpa na Curry fan? All this newbies for this thread sef

If you don't understand number 2, we shouldn't be having this argument. If LeBron threw his mouthpiece, immediately apologized to the fan and has a championship elimination series match the next few days, he'll get suspended, okwa ya?

Lebron on Curry, Postgame interview: "He's a great player, let's not get that mistaken. They are the best team in the league for a reason, they got a 73 - 9 for a reason"
Please let them know james! My boys let me down. But we lift it Sunday. #strengthinnumbers. Hit like if you're a true warrior fan.

Some Excuses make me laugh so hard. Bulls player will never disrespect michael jordan, for a whole taj gibson to refer to lebron james publicly as michael jordan of our generation, he surely knows what he is saying.
I feel when rating the top 5, lebron has to be there, who won a ring without any help, m.j had pippen and rodman, k.G had rondo nd pierce, Kobe had the best players in his team, but lebron took his whole team all by himself, this is what I call geeatness. We cant say that klove and irving hlp lebron, I might still put irving but not klove, cause hes been cooking in this finals.
When warriors won the ring last season, we were told to stop b!tch!ng about an incomplete team, now all excuses, draymond got supended, bogut and iggy out and sh!t.

Blaming the refs is the oldest excuse in the BOOK

Thats all ive been seeing, I don't even want to hear the ref excuse. Only if they can explain that atrocious call on Love when Green went in for the lay-up.
There are conspiracy theories in NBA, no lies, but what happened is so far from that

Did you see the team Dirk took to the Finals twice and still won a ring? All you stats lovers sef

Its about preference, one might take Karl but it is not crazy to pick Dirk either. Malone played with an all-time top 3 PG all through his career and still didn't win a ring. Dirk with Tyson Chandler, 38year old Kidd, Shawn Marion, Jason Terry beat LeBron, Wade and Bosh in six games

Re: The NBA Begins by Mizzzbeee(f): 10:42am On Jun 17, 2016
i think GSW fans should lay off the excuses, even if its a no brainer that there are alot. angry Sunday should be a fun game, i hope everyone comes online....Most people at work are Cavs fans and the trolling has been killing embarassed embarassed. I know GSW would laugh last kiss
Re: The NBA Begins by Mizzzbeee(f): 10:45am On Jun 17, 2016
A40 hope you havent lost hope ooo....We have seen these suitations before during the season and playoffs. We do well in tight corner suitations. My guts tell me we got this on sunday.

Me?? Never, I dont bring up excuses, I speak the language.
Its also silly when your unanimous mvp bring up a warfare on the crowd, I know the amount of booing lebron got from the warriors fans in game5, but he didnt care. But bringing up a warfare on a crowd is so disrespecting.

Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 11:19am On Jun 17, 2016
Didn't see the game again because for some reason I can't stay awake to watch consistently. I understand only James had 41 and Kyrie's number reduced to 23? That's progression grin

If after the first quarter, the scoreline was reading 31-11, then boy am I glad I didn't spend time watching the game (infact when you start that badly you deserve to lose). At the end of the day, it was a harder pill to swallow the game 5 loss than this one seeing that Cleveland were going back to Ohio with the momentum.

It will not be misplaced to call the refs out on some of the fouls they call on Curry in contrast with the ones people infringe on him. The NBA must make $20k per seats for game 7 and now they will achieve it. The consensus online seems to echo these sentiments even though one can argue they are more from the supporters of GSW.

Well, now that Game 7 is billed for 1AM 21st naija time, I must find a way to watch it without neglecting Monday duties. I almost feel my team has flailed because I haven't been able to channel some chakra their way.

Harrison Barnes for all the money he wants has been atrocious the last 2 games but there is something (as little as it is) that will work in his favor. It is called the LAW OF AVERAGES. That same law will work against Lebron and I kid you not.

So here is how game 7 will pan out. The refs will begin to give Curry all his fouls because the story suits GSW winning the ring. As long as Curry is getting his foul calls some people on Cavs roster will be racking up personal fouls. Home crowd will buoy the team in a way that will spur them to reignite the spark they usually show when their backs are against the wall. But the 2 key issues will be

1. Lebron will certainly not drop another 41 points. (Lola can feel free to mention me here if he does) and

2. Harrison Barnes won't shoot as badly as he has done in the last 2 games.

The law of average, will guarantee that.

Having said that, it is no longer impossible for the GSW not to lose game 7 as it would have been had they not lost game 5, but I think after hitting a few bumps with my last predictions, I am probably calling this one right.

So here goes: GSW will win game 7 in front of their home fans. It will be in a fashion similar to SAS vs Pistons game 7 of 2005. In other words, home team wins but the game itself will not be a high-scoring one.

I'd be back to gloat when it happens. Till then Cavs supporters have the floor. They have earned it.
