Congratulations Lakers. See why I didn't waste my time hoping the heat could steal the series. The Heats mehn, massive respect for that team. See you guys next season, I hope LeBron does not even make the playoffs and old age catches up with the beast, but well championship has been well deserved. Congratulations

He is like anderson silva. One injury at this age could shake him up. But as long as he doesnt get cocky like Silva did, he has another season or two in him.

Man, 4-6 sounds so much better than 3-6 grin

They will find something else. Had Lakers won in game 5, they would have said it was too easy... As if when lebron got swept by the spurs in the finals, that wasnt a legit win undecided

But this type of gutsy win shuts up pippen, pierce, skip, whitlock...see as pierce dey stammer grin

So LeBron would be entering year 18 as the best player in the league. LET THAT SINK IN.

By year 15 MJ was just gathering retirement money. grin

He said "I have no doubt a trophy will be named after him", not "the trophy". It would be disrespectful to take that away from Bill Russell.

You're a Celtics fan.

LeBron won, the Lakers won and caught up to your championship count.

Definitely not a win win for you, stop capping.

No matter how much a person tries to be objective, we all have our predisposition. No offense, but anyone who has Lew Alcindor at anything below 3rd all time should be arrested IMO. I have him at number 2.


To be honest, putting longevity into consideration Kareem should be top3 to 4 on anyone's list. But he wasn't the main man during the years he won more titles in LA, than he did in Milwaukee.

Magic and a particular James Worthy were just blowing my mind on a daily-bases during the 80's showtime era.

More some of those games, worthy was the best player on that team.

Hahaha! Can't u feel the sarcasm? I think he's throlling those who use chips and final's win-loose count to define a player's lagacy.

I listed only those I've watched play
Didn't get to see much of Durant in the finals last year, I'm not sure he played throughout this season tho

For the legends I hear of Jordan jabbar and more
With time I'll check out their clips on tube
Thanks

U should avoid checking on Durant last year. Check him out from his rookie year till 2seasons ago. He hasn't played for 2 seasons as far as I'm concerned.


Go check out the clips of those legends. The problem is that u may never get to appreciate some legends well enough if you depend on YouTube. Cos those legends had more of effectiveness than highlights in them.

Good example are players like Larry bird, john Stockton.

If you depend on YouTube/highlights, you may not put these players in the top5 in their respective positions.

But living thru their era's. Or downloading like 10straight matches of these players, you would definitely place them in top2 to top3 in their respective positions ever.

Stockton, Bird, jabbar were more efficient than Jordan, lebron at some point. Cos the former did their own little jobs to perfection.

Not that they were better than Jordan or Lebron though.

Re: The NBA Begins by nairamaniac: 6:17am On Oct 12, 2020
Meanwhile I'm the happiest man in the world right now that Lebron won this chip.

I was soooo sad when warriors were spoiling his finals-Win's to Loss count.


That warrior's team was a cheat-set-up.


I don't think even the bulls with Jordan would have beating 3 very good scorers in curry, Durant and klay. [url][/url]

Then considering they also had top3 best defensive players in Draymond&Iggy within a space of 5years.

Adding to the genius of Steve Kerr who mixed up both the genius of Pop&Phil Jackson.

Steve Kerr was to Warriors what Pep Guadiola was to Barcelona.

They defined an era.


Congrats to Lebron and the Lakers, especially for the fact they won same year they lost Kobe and his daughter.

They would both be joyful In heaven. cool

I stopped arguing with people about LeKing right after the 2016 finals. I mean what else can I say?

That final was too iconic man,
Lebron Nd Irving were on beast mode , I had fears heat would do a remontada on Lakers from 3-1 down...thank God the whole team showed up @ the right time

Let's go again boys next season..lebron still get one more ring before retirement grin
