are you even hearing yourself? This is unreal to me . . Do you really believe this? Since when did AD become Klay? Is it about skill level now? And who the f*uck is Klay? Just about the 2nd greatest shooter of all time ...a 3 time nba champion. You better come correct and put respect on that name

A40:
Bahahahahaha. Don't tell me you're one of those that propagate that myth that the Cavs were not a strong team as good as Golden State. The same Cavs with 3 All-stars? Sakamanje

You cannot fluke your way to a 7 game series. While the Warriors were exerting themselves for regular season history the Cavs were coasting knowing their weak conference mates would pose no threat

Player for player it is laughable to suggest the Cavs were not as strong as GS

A40:
How can Jordan's era start 5 years before he even entered the league? FFS!!

It can't be their era when they are not even in the league please. You're the first person I've ever heard lumping Jordan's Wizards stint into a Jordan argument. He came back from a 3 year break at 39. Nwanne fear God abeg

A40:
Lmaooooo. This guy is in La-la land. Dream come true for who? This guy you're seriously living in the past if you think players nowadays care about the past history of any team. Nobody cares!!

Maybe you're forgetting KD, Paul George declined to even meet with the Lakers to listen to their pitch.

AD is the only guy who cares to play with LeBron. Klay, Kawhi, KD, Paul George are more interested in beating him than boosting his legacy. This they have proven way beyond a reasonable doubt. None of those elite players are interested in being LeBron's apprentice unlike AD

A40:
I won't be surprised if he believes in the tooth fairy. Klay Thompson that wants to retire a Warrior. Does Klay look like a LeNomad fanboy or is in any type of awe of him and the Lakers? I am more worried about KD leaving than Klay

A40:
Apparently Magic, Detroit, Knicks, Pacers didn't get the memo. That's why they beat or took the Bulls at least 7 games

Why was no team from the so called stronger conference able to take the Bulls to an elimination game

A40:
No credible analyst lists 85-03 as Jordan's era. Jordan's era ended in 98 so I don't know why you are including the years Jordan did not even play and was officially not in the league.


Lmaooooo. You're listing 85-03 as Jordan's era and you're telling me to check facts before arguing.

Tundesam923:
bro! "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone" who is now believing the media now ( you did accuse me of that during LeBron stint as a gm trying to ship that whole team for "ad" Klay coming to Lakers? Why? Is it the culture that he would be enamored with?(lmao) or is it the money? Gsw can offer more money or what exactly? I don't get o...pls explain. Gee, am sorry...a chance to play with LeBron right? Lolz. Off with LeBron tinted glasses you wearing and try to see things as they truly are...and Kyrie? We have seen how that story ends before

A40:
Lmaooo je ki'n paro kan fun e. Kobe was not even a starter in his first two seasons. So don't drop Kobe and the Lakers like they were a threat

Why won't I include the 6 titles the Bulls won? What kind of Sakamanje argument is that? Are they not an Eastern team. If the West was as dominant as you claim then explain why no team from that conference took the Bulls to 7 games even when they had homecourt. Why would teams from a supposedly dominant conference fail at all 6 attempts to defeat the Bulls.

When the GOAT got to his full peak starting from 87-88 the only 3 series he lost two of them were to the eventual NBA Champions that played in his conference.

I didn't forget the two years. The Lakers and Rockets comprise the 4 titles the West won

You're adding 2001-2003 when the GOAT was 40 and came out of a 3 year retirement? You can't be serious

A40:
What's the difference? You called up your 2 lottery pick draft mates, all 3 of you in your athletic prime when you couldn't beat Orlando and Boston.

Imagine Jordan calling Olajuwon and Barkley to come to his rescue when he couldn't beat the Bad Boy Pistons and Boston. That is what your LeNomad did.

Durant, Paul George, Kawhi Leonard. The list is endless! Anthony Davis is a young pup who still looks at LeNomad like a fan. The older guys don't care for your king and that's why Anthony Davis is the only prominent guy being linked to the Lakers.

Lmaooo a second year dude literally pushing you to do your defensive duties. What an embarrassment!

Yeah we're seeing how he is saving their asses. They will be playing golf and going fishing from mid-April while others are battling in the playoffs

A40:
Lmaooooo. That team was not going to do Squadushhh. They were only 2.5 games ahead of the 9th seed before LeNomad's injury and started on a relatively light schedule, which explains why their run-in to the season is so brutal

As for the Warriors game. That was largely an aberration. These Warriors lost to worse teams than the Lakers

Who were the cry babies that refused to play? Is it Ingram who put together the best 5 game stretch of his career or who exactly are you talking about. LeNomad is a terrible leader. These kids were 7 games under .500 last year. The potential was there! A so-called King returning with 31 games still to play and just 2 games outside the playoffs should have galvanized the troops. That's what real leaders do.

The locker room don't respect him. That's why a second year ninja like Kyle Kuzma can shove LeNomad to go and cover his defensive assignment I've never seen anything like that all my years of watching basketball

This is the toxic environment Kevin Durant was talking about.

I hope they trade them off and mortgage their future for an ageing player who probably has 2 seasons left of elite basketball

A40:
I don't have time for too much argument.

Between the years the GOAT played (84-93 95-98)
Celtics - 1 title
Pistons - 2 titles
Bulls - 6 titles

The East won 9 titles out of a possible 13.

I don't even know why you're mentioning Duncan and Spurs and Kobe. How many years did they spend in the league and what did they achieve before MJ retired. Don't be dropping names for the sake of it

A40:
In MJ's era the balance of power was largely in the East as shown by the number of dominant teams it had compared to the West. Since LeNomad's era the balance of power has shifted

A40:
He's not as good as MJ. Never has been and never will

The consecutive Final runs highlight the weaknesses of the East much more than LeNomad's greatness which is what we have been repeating ad nauseum! so this narrative that LeNomad can carry any team must die

Hardetayour:
And LeBron travels a lot on his drives too.

Killrhymz:
How can someone say watching harden is more exciting than Giannis lol MVP is obviously playing for the team with the best record in the league

A40:
The Rockets started badly. They missed Capela and CP3, 2 of their best 3 players for a combined 38 games. The bottom line is they started with a deficit and then lost two of their best 3 players at the same friggin time and still battled back. Whether Rockets are better is even irrelevant, the Lakers shouldn't be 10th seed 5 games behind .500

The Lakers lost LeNomad but he came back with 31 games to go! That's more than 30% of the season left and yet they are already out of playoffs contention with 17 games left!! This is inexcusable. I don't care if it's the Dodan Warriors

A40:
Stop rolling back the transaction beyond the original error point. They lost their best player and went 6-11 but he came back with 31 games to play and a 2 game deficit! They are 3-10 since he came back. If they won even half of their games they would still be in contention

Stop these excuses! They are invalid and frankly nauseating. If he's the best like y'all claim, the Lakers should not already be out of playoff contention with 17 games left.

A40:
Which team in the league has not dealt with injuries? James Harden kept the Rockets in playoff with a bunch of G-LEAGUE level players missing CP3, Capela and Gordon. I don't want to hear all these excuses

A40:
Your argument would have been legit if they had a winning or even .500 record since he returned. They were 26-25 before he returned. Since he got back they have gone from 1 game over .500 to 4 games below .500

Let me reiterate, they had 31 games left to play with a 26-25 record, it's not like he came back without enough time for the Lakers to get at least an 8th seed

They have played 12 games and lost 9 since he got back but I'm supposed to believe they would make playoffs if he didn't get injured? Taaaa!

All I know is they would not have won enough games vs the .500 teams to get into the playoffs.

KNIGHTBlaed:
TT dead? He was playing pretty well before the series of injuries. Cavs would have performed better if not for the injuries, my opinion tho. Kuz, Lonzo and Ingram played better when Bron was injured jhur.

Killrhymz:
To Repeat Julius Randle's EPIC speech to those of you who missed it:
Julius Randle: "Today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth!!!!!

Killrhymz:
Another myth is that LeBron makes everyone around him better. That's a lie! IT and Rose both got worse playing with LeGM.

KNIGHTBlaed:
Kyrie ke? Will he be willing to play with Lebron again?

Roland17:
Wait for the excuses from all the sports shows on Monday.

Roland17:
Can you imagine if he puts all heart to becoming the best? He does it effortlessly. The man is the purest and most efficient scorer of the ball, he can attack you in so many ways offensively. I was watching last night’s game and he single handedly brought them back with clutch shots.

Thing is KD is not too interested in claiming the face of the NBA. If you read his recent interview where he said he plays the game without any pressure now and the NBA is not everything for him you will see what I mean. He does it effortlessly. His 2nd finals MVP was a testament to that because he was not entirely thrilled about the award. The only time I have seen KD thrilled about an award was when he won his NBA MVP. That meant the world to him especially since he dedicated it to his mother who means the world to him.
