We live in an era where athletes are smarter faster and stronger than ever. With athletes like Giannis Draymond Kawhi KD Porzingis etc Meanwhile Jeffrey's fiercest competition. ![]()

MitrikDenholm:Which he needed Olajuwon and the Houston Rockets help to get. I don't want to hear nothing from these salty old haters who are mad they didn't get the love the GOAT got. Put LeNomad in OKC and put KD in that Miami Heat team and let's see if he gets out the West. Pointless suggestion Regular season wins count for zilch. The Bulls won nothing without him. The GOAT was not a stats whooore like LeNomad. You forget in that era shooting guards really didn't have to rebound. It's not smart basketball to have your best player to guard the opposition's best player over the duration of a series. You of all people should know this. Why didn't Lebron guard Dirk? The East was much tougher back when the GOAT got into the league. Celtics. Pistons and Bucks were much stronger than the wackass Eastern conference LeNomad has to face now. No player dead or alive would have taken that useless Bulls roster past the first round. Name one player in that assortment of bums that did anything of note in the league (all-star. 6th man) anything I'd wait IT? Same dude that MJ kicked out the team? Who hated the GOAT since he got into the league? Of course I'd expect that salty hater to be objective It's easy to get to the Finals when your competition is Kyle Lowry and Demar DeRozan. Or good but washed up 35/36 year olds |
| Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:34pm On Apr 06, 2018 |
MitrikDenholm:Lmaooo only one Super-Team has existed with all 3 star players at their athletic prime when they were formed. LeNomad played in it for 4 years. Truth be told he'd probably be on one ring or no ring at all if he didn't run to South Beach. Super teams like Dirk's Mavericks that had no player that ever won a ring. With a 38yo starting PG OKC with a 23yo baby as it's best player. Or the aged Spurs with two of it's 4 best players 36 or older... Lmaoooooo |
| Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:40pm On Apr 06, 2018 |
MitrikDenholm:Excuses excuses. A rubbish conference like the East it would be a shame if LeNomad lost in the First round. Da phuck was he supposed to lose to? Al Jefferson? Gerald Wallace? LeNomad would trade his lineage to not have the 3-5 soon to be 3-6 tag to his name. All those L's for what? To be a rich man's Jerry West. You think people care whether Joe Montana ever lost the wildcard game or not? Only Bronsexuals console themselves with that first round jazz. Nobody cares bruhh |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 3:50pm On Apr 06, 2018 |
A40:EXACTLY! And jordan needed pippen! your point? Point is drexler has a ring. Its not about getting love, if barkley and reggie lick is arse theyre haters but if drexler try to be objective theyre haters, LOL! Put LeNomad in OKC and put KD in that Miami Heat team and let's see if he gets out the West. Pointless suggestionBlasphemy? is this bloke trying to suggest KD is better than lebron, or that lebron wouldnt do better in the west with baby harden and baby westbrook than KD did, LOL! Go home, you are drunk! Regular season wins count for zilch. The Bulls won nothing without him.They were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs due to bad officiating. Lebron when he left cleveland? 19 wins, literally became the worst team in nba history. Lebron when he left miami? non playoff team. The GOAT was not a stats whooore like LeNomad. You forget in that era shooting guards really didn't have to rebound. It's not smart basketball to have your best player to guard the opposition's best player over the duration of a series. You of all people should know this. Why didn't Lebron guard Dirk?Says the guy whose goat took 50 shots a game. http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1989-04-09/sports/8901190048_1_triple-double-new-statistic-box-score not a stat chaser but here he is admitting chasing triple doubles. Lol, the jig is up, the bald gambler has been demystified. ![]() The East was much tougher back when the GOAT got into the league. Celtics. Pistons and Bucks were much stronger than the wackass Eastern conference LeNomad has to face now. No player dead or alive would have taken that useless Bulls roster past the first round. Name one player in that assortment of bums that did anything of note in the league (all-star. 6th man) anything I'd waitLMAO! D rose had a great season, only god knows what he would have been without his injuries. Take lebron out of the east and the east wouldnt be so straight forward. And too bad lebron faced inferior teams in the ec but superior teams in the finals, unlike jordan who just faced inferior teams period during his stretch. And prove to me that you have brain damage and say losing to a superior team in the first round is better than losing to a superior team in the finals, i dare you. Mind you, lebrons first finals appearance, he was 23 and carried a bunch of nobodies, past a nba championship detroit team, utterly single handedly obliterating them. That alone is a better feat than anything that bald addict achieved, he was a journeyman. IT? Same dude that MJ kicked out the team? Who hated the GOAT since he got into the league? Of course I'd expect that salty hater to be objectivetwo rings playing against these tough celtics you speak of and the showtime lakers, all in their prime, not the cadavers jeffrey devoured. you cant put a dent on what hes achieved. It's easy to get to the Finals when your competition is Kyle Lowry and Demar DeRozan. Or good but washed up 35/36 year oldsToo bad hes not facing them in the finals as well like jeffrey did yeah? hed be 8 - 0. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 3:54pm On Apr 06, 2018 |
A40:Spurs dynasty celtics big 3 lakers all formiddable, name one team that compares to any one of those within the 8 year stretch jordan won 3. Truth be told he'd probably be on one ring or no ring at all if he didn't run to South Beach.Jordan would probably never win a first round series without pippen. Super teams like Dirk's Mavericks that had no player that ever won a ring. With a 38yo starting PGSame mavs that beat kobes lakers? OKC with a 23yo baby as it's best player.3 future hall of famers. Or the aged Spurs with two of it's 4 best players 36 or older...Spurs dynasty with 4 hall of famers and the second greatest nba coach of all time. Try again. ![]() |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 3:59pm On Apr 06, 2018 |
A40:And whats so special about jordan beating inferior opposition in the finals then if there is nothing special about lebron beating inferior opposition in the first round. LeNomad would trade his lineage to not have the 3-5 soon to be 3-6 tag to his name. All those L's for what? To be a rich man's Jerry West.Maybe, maybe not. I do doubt if he follows the illogical drivels you lot like to spit out! Nothing wrong in losing in a team sport. Funny thing is most finals people expect lebron to lose because he is playing against the better team but they slander him for losing anyway, smh. Like i said, the jig is up. You think people care whether Joe Montana ever lost the wildcard game or not? Only Bronsexuals console themselves with that first round jazz. Nobody cares bruhhJoe montana is 4-0 in the finals, why is brady considered the goat? i dont even watch that reta rded sport but my point is blaming someone for losing to tougher competition in a team sport is about the dumbest argument in sports today. |

DevdanSanguine:Lol don't include Celtics when we are talking of teams in their athletic primes please. They were all on the wrong side of 30. Scratch out the Spurs dynasty while you're at it. I'm talking of 3 players who were all below 30 and within a 2 year age range of each other. A team with all 3 stars at their peak. No other team had this DevdanSanguine:Dirk's old team with 38year old Jason Kidd at PG is formidable but the Utah Jazz and Gary Payton's Supersonics are not? DevdanSanguine:Lol. We never saw prime Jordan without Pippen. We would never know and more importantly we would never care DevdanSanguine:Yes they were on the decline after two ships. The Mavs team that year was an outlier anyway. Its not coincidental they never crossed the first round after that season DevdanSanguine:Waaay past their prime DevdanSanguine:Yes two of these HOF were at least 37 years of age. The other was in his second year in the league. Still LeNomad with 3 HOFs and all-stars like Rashard Lewis and defensive beasts like Shane Battier still suffered a gentleman's sweep to these OAPs |
| Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 4:25pm On Apr 06, 2018 |
DevdanSanguine:He's 6-0. He lost to no inferior opposition. LeNomad did. On more than one occasion DevdanSanguine:Its all banter in the end. Like I told you before I won't convince you the GOAT is better than LeNomad neither can you convince me LeNomad is better than the goat, the jig had always been up since LeNomad lost that 2011 Final tbh. Every other L is cherry on the cake. The GOAT does not go 2-2 with that Miami Heat Team DevdanSanguine:Because Brady has more Superbowl wins and MVP titles. Just like the GOAT. Besides the NFL is a lot more unpredictable and competitive than the NBA so you need to fix up your taste Besides we have explained ad nauseum that the only reason LeNomad gets to all those Finals is because he plays in a shittier conference. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 4:31pm On Apr 06, 2018 |
A40:That team was more than just the big 3. Their depth and build. Eddie house, big baby, Kendrick, rajon etc. They were in the finals in 2010 and still had a lot of steam. Go watch the highlights of the 2012 playoffs game Vs Miami and tell me those guys were too old. The old guards were good enough for Boston to use them to rob Brooklyn later on. Dirk's old team with 38year old Jason Kidd at PG is formidable but the Utah Jazz and Gary Payton's Supersonics are not?Tyson chandler, Jason Terry. Dirk playing like Jesus. That mavs team would beat that Utah team to a stupor. Lol. We never saw prime Jordan without Pippen. We would never know and more importantly we would never careLol. Naah, the man was putting up numbers. He just couldn't win. Yes they were on the decline after two ships. The Mavs team that year was an outlier anyway. Its not coincidental they never crossed the first round after that seasonThey weren't just beaten they were SWEPT! Underrated then and underrated now. They were solid offensively and defensively. Waaay past their primeYou mean on the verge of their prime. Yes two of these HOF were at least 37 years of age. The other was in his second year in the league. Still LeNomad with 3 HOFs and all-stars like Rashard Lewis and defensive beasts like Shane Battier still suffered a gentleman's sweep to these OAPsYou mean the d Wade who had a bad knee or the unhealthy inconsistent bosh? You mean the spurs team that still came out the tough west? LeBron showed up in that series, everyone who watched that series knew the better team won. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 4:37pm On Apr 06, 2018 |
A40:The only inferior opposition LeBron has ever lost to is Dallas which I have no explanation for, best I could think of is chemistry issues with him and Wade. Mind you Wade was leading on that team, Bron fully took over in 2012. Anyways, he made up for that by doing the impossible in 2016. Like I said, only ever favoured in two finals and yet he's won three. Its all banter in the end. Like I told you before I won't convince you the GOAT is better than LeNomad neither can you convince me LeNomad is better than the goat, the jig had always been up since LeNomad lost that 2011 Final tbh. Every other L is cherry on the cake. The GOAT does not go 2-2 with that Miami Heat TeamHow can you say that for sure when he's never played against a true dynasty? Or a 73 win team? Or a 73 win team that added the second best player in the league? Because Brady has more Superbowl wins and MVP titles. Just like the GOAT. Besides the NFL is a lot more unpredictable and competitive than the NBA so you need to fix up your tasteYeah yeah whatever. I can't take a sport seriously when I can't even take its name seriously. Besides we have explained ad nauseum that the only reason LeNomad gets to all those Finals is because he plays in a shittier conference.The only reason Jordan won all those finals is because he played shitty opposition. |

MitrikDenholm:which year was this? |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 4:39pm On Apr 06, 2018 |
Donlittle:2014. |

A40 Kyrie is out. Time to put your money where your mouth is. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 4:50pm On Apr 06, 2018 |
MitrikDenholm:Bosh problem didn't start till the 2015-2016 season. The Nba finals happened in 2013-2014 season where bosh played 79 games. Bosh was never inconsistent. He played and perform every night. He was require to play a role on that team that led to them winning two championships. No one has ever called bosh inconsistent but you, all to fit your narrative |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 4:56pm On Apr 06, 2018 |
Roland17:The only Nba finals where lebron played with any hall of famers. Mans got swept. The second one where he played with two other hall of famers... He got beat in 6 games. The third one, He won against young russell, KD, and Harden. The fourth one, He won against the Spurs in 7 games. Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili were all on the other side of 30. The fifth one, He lost against the spurs. Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili were all on the other side of 30. The sixth One, He lost against the warriors. The seventh one, He came down from 3 games down to win, No small achievement. Big ups to him. The Eight championship. Mans got a gentleman sweep back to cleveland. Whatever clyde is talking about, man must be high on Oshogbo weed. One thing is certain, Mike won in the finals against everyone in the Nba Finals. One other thing is certain, Lebron has been to the finals 8 times, and he has lost 5 times. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 4:58pm On Apr 06, 2018 |
Donlittle:Little man, first of all I am excited to see you've taken a break from snitching and cheerleading to contribute to an argument. I am really happy for you, I hope this is a sign of better things to come. But the argument here is LeBron had 3 HOFs with him. But bosh wasn't even playing like an all-star and averaged 14 points in the finals. And even if he did, lebrons side kick, jelly was truly jelly. Was being rested to save his knee and didn't okay up to his usual standards. D Wade was effectively done after that season. LOL and you trying g to refute my claims of Bosh's inconsistentency is very funny btw little man. Go and do a little reading. Not his fault of course, not easy being the third option but he was inconsistent. These are facts. But again, happy to see this side of you. |

A40:Everyone, United under one goal. Jealousy ![]() |
| Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 5:04pm On Apr 06, 2018 |
DevdanSanguine:Captain Obvious I know Drexler has a ring. However it's on record that Drexler was supposed to be competition to the GOAT. They played same position and that was the build up to the Final. Jordan sonned him so bad he ran to Houston to be a beta. End of story! And that's what we all remember Clyde for. Musically he would be Derulo and the GOAT Chris Brown DevdanSanguine:I'm responsible for what I type not what you understand. Swap KD for Bron and the Heat still beat OKC. Argue with your dope dealer Do better? Same guy who lost to two of the teams that beat KD with a better Heat roster? Lmaooo you need blood tonic. DevdanSanguine:You mean the year Bosh had his lung clot issue amongst many other injuries and missed almost half the games. Didn't they bounce back the very next year DevdanSanguine:So a one hit wonder then? DevdanSanguine:No. Take LeNomad out the East without a stacked roster that includes a 20-10 ninja like Kevin Love or a Kyrie Irving or Dwyane Wade or Chris Bosh and the East wouldn't be so straightforward. This is a LeNomad that lost to Hedo Turkoglu and Dwight Howard in his MVP season. DevdanSanguine:LeNomad lost to inferior teams in the Finals and EC as well. DevdanSanguine:. I don't have anything to prove to a gutter water sniffing millennial like you. An L is an L and only serial losers brag about consistently accumulating L's in NBA Finals even to inferior teams DevdanSanguine:Story for the gods! That aged Pistons team were on their last legs DevdanSanguine:Yeah and the GOAT sent him and his bunch of thugs into early retirement. And don't tell me he was old cos he was only two years older than the GOAT. Anyway what else can we expect from a ninja who can't even spell his name right |
| Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 5:07pm On Apr 06, 2018 |
MitrikDenholm:Kyrie is out but the seedings aren't. As it stands the Celtics and Heat cannot meet. Lol smh. I wasn't stewpid for telling you to wait till Wednesday |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 5:07pm On Apr 06, 2018 |
Donlittle:You mean without, and yes. But Jordan couldn't win a first round series without a hall of famer. LeBron made the finals. The second one where he played with two other hall of famers... He got beat in 6 games.Granted The third one, He won against young russell, KD, and Harden.Better than the best team Jordan faced. The fourth one, He won against the Spurs in 7 games. Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili were all on the other side of 30.Better than the best team Jordan faced. The fifth one, He lost against the spurs. Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili were all on the other side of 30.Injured Wade, inconsistent bosh. Dynasty. Second greatest coach of all time. Better than the best team Jordan faced. The sixth One, He lost against the warriors.Love and Kyrie injured. The seventh one, He came down from 3 games down to win, No small achievement. Big ups to him.Negates the loss in 2011. The Eight championship. Mans got a gentleman sweep back to cleveland.When a 73 win team adds the second best player in the league. Better than a combined all-star team during Jordan era. Whatever clyde is talking about, man must be high on Oshogbo weed.The little man knows better than Clyde drexler. One thing is certain, Mike won in the finals against everyone in the Nba Finals.What does this even mean little man. One other thing is certain, Lebron has been to the finals 8 times, and he has lost 5 times.Just as it's certain LeBron has never lost in the first round. Jordan has lost 3 and has never one a playoff series without pippen. But somehow its better to lose in the first round than in the finals. ![]() You say 8 finals as if it's that easy. A lot of greats have never even made the finals. Light work. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 5:10pm On Apr 06, 2018 |
A40:Damn! I just want to humiliate you soo bad! |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 5:14pm On Apr 06, 2018 |
MitrikDenholm:Well, once again, your claims usually get refuted on this forums. Bosh was never injured. If you are sacrificing your game for the betterment of the team, How on earth are you supposed to put on huge numbers? Do you also know whose sidekick averaged 15 points twice in the Nba Finals? Yeah you guessed it right: Michael jordan sidekick averaged 15 points twice. I won't even bother checking wade averages during miami finals run. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 5:17pm On Apr 06, 2018 |
Lebron making it to 8 nba finals and not being able to win 4 championships, lose 4 should show everyone how easy the conference is. |

| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 5:19pm On Apr 06, 2018 |
MitrikDenholm:This is the difference between lebron and Jordan. We do not have to make excuse for one because he got it done. On the other hand, We have to make excuses for one dude five times because he couldn't get the job DONE |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 5:22pm On Apr 06, 2018 |
Donlittle:Lol! I said injured and inconsistent. He may not have been injured but he was inconsistent. If you are sacrificing your game for the betterment of the team, How on earth are you supposed to put on huge numbers?In a series where d Wade wasn't playing as well. He was supposed to step up but instead was outplayed by a 38 year old Tim Duncan. Do you also know whose sidekick averaged 15 points twice in the Nba Finals?Jordan was the primary scoring, pippen was took up the best opposition player, rebounded and assisted. He did it all. He didn't need to score 20 + all the time, that's Jordans job. Besides, you don't need to score all those points against plumbers. Yeah you guessed it right: Michael jordan sidekick averaged 15 points twice.Welp. I won't even bother checking wade averages during miami finals runWelp. And he did it against athletes too not plumbers. Come to think of it, is Jeffrey really better than flash? That's a more reasonable debate to be honest. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 5:24pm On Apr 06, 2018 |
Donlittle:. Lol! So how are you supposed to get it done against a team better than yours in a team sport? Excuse me, what's Jordans excuse for losing in the first round three times? Why doesn't he need an excuse for that but LeBron needs an excuse in the finals. While we are at it, Robert horry is 7 - 0 in the finals. Therefore, Horry > Jordan. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 5:28pm On Apr 06, 2018 |
MitrikDenholm:Lebron has been in the Nba for 15 years, been to the finals 8 times, what happened to the other 7? Don't be obtuse please. Your Guy couldn't make it out of the East against Dwight Howard while Michael jordan was going up against the Pistons and Celtics. Guess who jumped ship to get over a hump? You Guessed it right. Please don't be obtuse. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 5:29pm On Apr 06, 2018 |
Donlittle:Jordan winning six championships shows everyone how easy his whole era was. And it's not as if LeBron didn't beat the best the west had to offer 3 times. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 5:35pm On Apr 06, 2018 |
MitrikDenholm:Blasphemy. Check up what is called Jordan Rules If Lebron couldn't beat Dwight, How is he going to beat Oakley, Patrick, and John Starks? And it's not as if LeBron didn't beat the best the west had to offer 3 times.Yeah and he also lost 5 times. That should show you how easy his conference his. His percentage against the west is .375 If we were taking SAT or ACT, his scores wouldn't get him into a JUCO. A technical college. |
