etidy:
Just watching the interviews of retired players of the NBA during this finals made me understand the dire need for a NBA star to win the title at least once. From chauncey billups to pierce, Chris bosh, Shaq even scalabraine etc those guys come on air flaunting their rings. They brag about it at the slightest opportunity, its like the ultimate validation for them. As a champion when you speak everyone else listens. You can't tell me that the likes of Charles Barkley won't trade anything for that missing piece of the puzzle.

This brings me to my second observation. The damage the dominance of lebron and warrior's over the last few years has done to the legacy and psyche of many great players in the league is massive.

The likes of Chris Paul, Westbrook, Paul George, Harden and Lilliard if they don't win a title in the next one or two years that it may take for Boston and phily to figurie out how to win. This is huge pressure on these guys to make the necessary sacrifice to win right away.
Then you have guys who the honeymon period will be over for soon. Guys like Giannis, Anthony Davis, KAT must face the music soon.
Antony Davis in particular because he's a generational talent must move from the pelicans to get that validation he needs.

Then you have the guys who still have some years at the top and have already won rings, they have lesser pressure on them. In fact, they are the media darlings all they need to do is just to see how much more they can win. I call them the "greedy boys" Lebron, kawhi, curry and ?KD already belong to this group. These guys are like the illuminati holding the legacy of many other players to ransome grin
This is 100 %. I didn’t know how great Charles Barkley was until I read about him.I didn’t know this cos he has no ring. Dude made 5 all NBA first team, and 5 all NBA second.

He once led the league in rebounds.
What is remarkable about that fact is that he's only 6'4"/6'5"

Dude was great.

The round mound of rebound. It's funny because all the great rebounders of that era weren't that tall. Rodman who was also listed at 6'7 led the league in rebounds consistently. Plus being a PF Barkley probably had to face players much larger than him and he dominated them. The ring culture really takes away from so many greats, Iverson especially comes to mind.

Lmaooo what did I just read? I'm in tears FAM

Congratulations to the Golden State for keeping the whole thing bouncing, y'all move units we move mountains as my man Xzibit would say.

Well-deserved FMVP for KD IMO. Game 3 just broke the Cavs will and kinda guaranteed the sweep plus KD was a lot more efficient and was a monster on the defensive end, LeNomad didn't want that smoke

Looks like I missed a massive bash. LeSwept!!!!

Le3-6Mafia, LeExcuses. You live by the Superteam it's only right you die by the Superteam as my man Rob Parker would say.

Lastly Rosalyn Gold is such a hottie

Hakeem my perfectly symmetrical foot. Get your big head out of your arse you inveterate dweeb.
Beech are you ret@rded? Shaq? The same Shaq that got swept 5 times?? By Hakeem as well? Is that who you claim is the best big! You must be dangerously mad!! Don't let me expose Shaq for the ginormous overrated hype job he was! He was a flat track bully who was victimized by Hakeem and every other quality big he ever met! DPMO

Lol. I took the 2017 loss harder than this. This for me is a bitter sweet experience because this allows him to go somewhere he can three peat before he retires.

Philly Simmons PG LeBron Covington Embiid

Spurs Murray Green LeBron Kawhi Aldridge

Rockets Cp3 Harden Ariza LeBron Capella

OKC Brodie PG LeBron Melo Adams

Any one of these teams and I'll take his chance against that bum squad in Oakland seeing what did to them fully healthy in game 1 with just Kevin love.

LOL. Going into these finals is there anyone that didn't see a sweep? The same Rob Parker that was glorifying that Cavs team that wouldn't have made the playoffs? LOL Fvck off with your malaria. If someone can root for a re.tard like Rob Parker only speaks to the level of brain damage he himself has.

Look at this bum! How old was shaq when he went up against Hakeem and how old was Hakeem? Expose shaq for what? He is a bully but flat track bully? LOL! You are madder than a box of frogs. The league had no answer for shaq. Don't even try to debate this nonsense.

I still can't get over the fact that this unadulterated dolt actually had the cojones to post that Hakeem is more revered than Shaq. No, something must be wrong with this guy. Does this fool know that prime shaq had the whole league in a headlock in a way that Jeffrey or even LeBron could only dream of? Granted his prime lasted for a few years but if I were home I would somehow find a way to have this dunderhead A40 stoned to death for even imagining the claptrap he just posted here. That's what we do to people who blaspheme.
This clown must have been fed his placenta as a baby!! Olajuwon who beat Worthy/Kareem and Magic with phuckin Ralph gaddamn Sampson?

Olajuwon who led the Rockets to a title leading his team in all 5 categories? Are you maaaaad??

Olajuwon who took a 6th seed to an NBA title. Y'all gon make me lose my mind if you ever disrespect the Dream like that again

Olajuwon who didn't have a top 50 PG? Who won a chip without an all-star or HOFer.

Shaq prayed every day to his maker to be like Hakeem! He said so himself but this simple eediot with too much time and internet on his hands is talking nonsense.

STFU you excuse giving sack of shiittt! How old was Hakeem when he beat the Showtime Lakers with phuckin Ralph Sampson? Can you imagine this vermin

Who were the elite centers Shaq went one on one with and owned in a playoff series? Shaq was swept 5 phuckin times from 94 to 99 even Tim Duncan in his 2nd year in the league sodomized him and you're chatting megedefegede

I never forget anything. This screenshot not only shows how subjective I am but also proves that I have always given Hakeem is fair due.

More importantly, it shows the hypocritical pathological lying sacks of sh.it that fill this forum.

Here's this im.becile insinuating that Hakeem wouldn't have won a ring if Jeffrey didn't retire and me telling him how good he was. Now suddenly he's glorifying Hakeem and how great him winning a title is and how he can beat anyone just because he wants to win an argument.

Hakeem is great, but better than Shaq?

Just FOH you shameless two faced lying bumbling idiot.

You're laughably deluded. Three peat ko Three 6 mafia ni. Unless he joins Golden State he is winning fokall.

Lmaooo I don't see no consistent outside shooting in the Philly line up. They would be run out of the building

Good luck at Houston too, who is going to play off the ball for the team to work. It would still suck on defense too..

Let him join wherever cos we're sick of the excuses. Old Timmy D, Manu and Parker and Dirk didn't give excuses when they beat the Heatles but LeExcuse gonna whine about everything

Doesn't have to be consistent. PG is a knockdown shooter, Covington is a 3 and D specialist first team all defense, LeBron is a reliable 3 ball shooter, even Embiid can shoot threes nowadays. Forget that, look at the defensive potential of that team since they're all elite defenders. The spurs didn't have 3 ball shooting when they had the warriors in a headlock. The Cavs in game 1 were horrible from deep. Not everything is about 3 ball shooting.

I don't like Houston either but didn't you just claim a few weeks ago that he should go there and I explained to you my worries about that. Why are you such a hypocrite?

Why would the spurs give excuses when they were the better team, the favourites and they won? Are you dumb? Seriously, are you?

Lmaooo look at this bonobo monkey. The argument is between Shaq and Olajuwon. Stop phoolishly trying to save face! You have not disproven my argument one bit.

I don't think Houston would have won a ring had the GOAT not retired as I do not believe prime GOAT would have lost to Vernon Maxwell and Otis Thorpe.

However facts are facts and unless you can dig up where I rated Shaq over Hakeem in the past then the joke is on you as usual
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 11:21am On Jun 11, 2018
We are having a debate about Shaq and Olajuwon and this mountain goat digs up posts about Jordan. Lmaooo no wonder niggas were questioning your academic background. Smh
