WeissVonner:

Like I said, cling to 2011 like your life depends on it.

What? 18 8 and 5 averages (20 8 6 during championship seasons) in the playoffs is offensively handicapped? we're the ones on crack? Dude, you should be arrested for claiming Joe Dumars is better than Pippen. You should never talk about LeBrons teammates not getting enough credit if you want to claim anyone of those guys was better than Pippen. None of the players you mentioned has ever finished top 5 in NBA voting, Pippen finished third.

WeissVonner:

Not only was he the best player in the league he had the best Robin in the league. Bron would be 10-1 in that era and thats assuming he has a meltdown like 2011.

A40:

We will cling to it cos it happened. It was the biggest superstar meltdown probably in NBA history

MJ literally won a Finals series with Pippen averaging 15 pts and 34% from the field. Don't tell me Pippen wasn't handicapped

John Stockton all time assists and steals leader
Gary Payton - DPOY
Penny Hardaway
Kevin Johnson who was dropping 24-10 in multiple postseasons

These guys all had better peaks than Pippen. Nobody cares about regular season MVP finishes. He didn't win the award so who cares?


And yet I can highlight numerous series from MJ's era where he was thoroughly outplayed by the other team's Robin. I can also show you multiple playoff series where LeNomad's Robin was better than the other team's Batman. Can you do the same for Jordan?

WeissVonner:

Straight out of the Skip bayless playbook. You have no shame

Lmao, first it was Dumars, now its Kevin Johnson. Scottie Pippen has suffered. What was john stocktons peak? what was pennys? and Payton? There is no sane person who would make the argument you're making right now.

MJ and Pippen were easily the best duo in the 90s and Pippen was better than at least 90% of the robins he faced. The Bulls were by far the best team in the 90s, replace MJ with Hakeem and its the same result. These are just bare facts.

WeissVonner:
LOL LeBron just won his fourth championship, why am I having this argument with this wretched soul.

A40:
Because you know it's a Mickey mouse ring you pathetic nonce

A40:
So was the Heat team in 2010. That team opened the eyes of others to this concept of creating the best possible situation and stacking the deck so high it was impossible to lose.

I would not count the GOAT out. Even that Warriors team was far from unbeatable. Chris Paul got hurt Game 5 with the Rockets up by 3-2. Nobody can prove to me the Rockets don't win that series if CP3 was healthy

Kobe is the only reason I'd be happy the Lakers won but the Kobe I knew would want me to keep that same energy so it's Bleep the Lakers still

nairamaniac:


bros, that warriors team with health Durant, klay and curry is unbeatable in a best of 7.

And even without Durant, they had the most efficient ways of scoring both midranges and 3pointers.

plus they has 2 of the top5 defenders in Iggy&draymond.

That kind of team have never happened in the history of the NBA.

A TEAM that had 3 players that could average up to 30points on any other team.

nairamaniac:

But u cant take it away from lebron cos he teamed up with wade&bosh.
For the fact it became easy for them to make it to 4finals didn't really mean it was naturally
meant to be that easy.

nairamaniac:


and please forget the "ray Allen factor". every other team had a ray Allen at one point or another.
paxson, Kerr, Millar,


Do u Remember Danny green being the ray Allen when he was in spurs??

I don't know the stats of Danny green, but he was so dangerous in San Antonio from beyond the arc.


The main factors in that heat team were.

1. lebron
2. The style of play(coach).
The coach made sure they all shot above 50% field goal percentage.
3. wade&bosh.
all in the above order.

WeissVonner:
Lol. The man who went to 6 games against Payton and Kemp, 6 games against drexler and kersey, and 6 games against Barkley is going to beat a team with Steph KD Klay and Draymond.

Mental illness is real people.

aliondo:
When you're great,you're great...

According to one of my bro here, "there is levels to this thing, abeg"

A40:
I disagree. A healthy Chris Paul would have led the Rockets past Golden State in 2018. The Warriors were down at halftime in Game 7 by double digits and if they had any player with any kind of midrange game they beat the Warriors

It took a CP3 injury and Rockets missing 27 consecutive missed 3's for Golden State to advance. They were not unbeatable. The Rockets completely shat the bed in the second half. James Harden choked shooting 12/29

Lebron is a top 5 talent of all times. I do not see him being above Jordan but if he gets 2 more rings as the FMVP, he will be above Jordan it is that simple.

Android17:


Jordan is the GOAT but...a Rockets team with CP3 and Harden lost to a KDless warriors the very next season 4-2.
And Jordan did lose to Orlando in his prime.
However, if your argument is that at 3-2 and with the double digits lead at half time, Jordan would have closed out that game against GSW, you have a point.
Also, Rockets did miss 27 consecutive threes but they made twos and free throws in-between the missed threes. They lost to the better team.

WeissVonner:
Strive For Greatness.

aliondo:


So these athletes are aware and also join in the debates (like the one we usually have here) on who is the real GOAT??from this,it's just as if he reads the debate between you and A40..

Naah, he said he will debate in private with his friends, but he'll never talk about it with the media and will allow them to do what they do. But I love that he's embracing the challenge of continuing to push himself to greater heights.

benji93:
That's a lie. Cos he once mentioned during an interview that he thinks he became the GOAT after the 2016 finals.

WeissVonner:
The Lakers did this without Avery Bradley. Danny Green is a good defender but the Lakers need to consider if that contract of his is worth it. If by the midseason trade deadline him and Kuzma haven't shown some consistency, they need to go. The Lakers need a 3 and D wing. They also need a third scorer who can get his own shot, don't know if Dion can be that guy. Then who do they keep between Javale and Dwight if they're signing Cousins (congrats on his ring BTW).

The Lakers have some very difficult decisions to make. But the bright side is they can only get better.
