Finals MVP is not the end all be all. Really, think about it. It takes only the finals game(s) into account and could careless if the FMVP was coasting during the first round, semis and conference finals. And MJ would have entered the following season after his 35th birthday as the best player as well. By the way, Giannis and Harden deserved it but narrative gave it to RWB. Warriors had 67-15 that year and won 18 straight games with Durant out. Curry had 28 ppg as well. You see, if your argument is that Lebron deserved it this season then why would it not have been one of the warriors players that 2016/17 season?

I didn't expect the Lakers to win it..

I was in the who will guard "Lilard and CJ" then Westbrook and harden" camp etc.

Congratulation to the Lakers..
The clippers-lakers finals would have been something spectacular sha..

WeissVonner:
PG will always be PG. But Kawhi shot 6/22 for 14 points in a game 7 after going 3-1 up. KCP can do better than that.

No wonder they're in pains. Their newly anointed hero turned into Harrison Barnes.

This is crazy. Barring any serious injury, this man is going to dominate your favourite players until he's forty. This sort of dominance is unprecedented.

Shout out to AD as well. He's starting to stake a claim to being better than a lot of the so called "top 5" players in the league.

Bros, we are not just counting rings. MJ averaged more points than Bron to add to his regular season MVP at age 35. Bron is chasing a ghost and he said so himself. I respect LBJ but he is also benefiting from the narratives he thinks are against him. Don't forget when KD and Curry were never allowed to get MVP votes because the media accepted that they will "cancel eachother out" but changed that same rule for LBJ and AD? Let us be objective. LBJ has not eclipsed Jordan yet and he will have to atleast match his FMVPs to be reasonably there.

WeissVonner:
He's eligible for one if the at the Lakers behest.

Yeah I think Javale is going to be the scape goat. Boogie slimmed down and was looking so good before the season started. Excited to see which version of him we get, hopefully he's not lost oo much productivity. And you're spot on, him and Dwight offer more versatility.

As for Kuzma, I hope he sorts things out because with the way he's been playing, he's not going to make it through next season. The Lakers also need a wing defender badly, we need someone to throw against someone like Kawhi. Jerami Grant would've been perfect, but unfortunately, hes way out of our price range. Maybe we can stick Jamychal Green from the Clippers or get Harkless.

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.

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.

Roland17, take it easy with the aggression na. You are writing like someone in sifia pains

WeissVonner:
Your man has never been past the first round without Pippen or Phil Jackson. Whats his real edge over LeBron?

Make we just let them enjoy this one. . It kind of seems like the just concluded finals was 50/50 and we counted them out. If anything everyone expected a sweep. Perkins in an interview said this is Lebron's second greatest championship. I wan laugh die. . You mean against a Heat team that barely has 2 stars? . But well a championship is a championship, another rank to his batch. but it would be blasphemous to call this one of the greatest championships. I mean every player was subjected to the same circumstances, probably unprecedented. i remember they asked Perkins on ESPN about how Lebron's legacy would be impacted if he lost the finals. The guy was trying to hedge his bets, so he said No, he's already above MJ. Now he says he's just surpassed MJ by winning his 4th Championship. But well as someone said,his losing record has been adjusted. We can now call him (4-6) Lebron. .The guy don suffer for this 4th title no be small. . Long overdue.

WeissVonner:
Oh boohoo, a man in year 16 suffering his biggest injury didnt make the Playoffs. I'm glad he didnt, he would've gotten swept in the first round like MJ and we won't have that over you guys.

You didnt know AD and Rondo played for the Lakers when you picked the Clippers?

Afromentalist:
A40, God has a message for you about Lebron

WeissVonner:
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.

Roland17:
Hahahaha!! Na win win for me oh.. My boy AD finally gets his deserved ring and was instrumental throughout the playoffs.. and of course Rondo.. As for LeBum? He is lucky he had AD

FIRST PLAYER TO WIN THE TITLE WITH 3 DIFFERENT TEAMS!......MUCH RESPECT MAN!
