@MrAmore94 lol u know what i think is funny? guys who worship losers. dirk is a loser. sure he's a pretty good player, but he's obviously not that great. he can't play defense and that means half of his game is gone. he won't ever win regardless of how good a team he has around him. u can't complain with the caliber of talent the mavs had this year. there's no excuse not to get out of the first round. especially since he lost to duncan's team. he can be ur favorite but he's just not that great
@MrAmore94 supporting cast? don't kid urself. first of all the 08 Lakers were way better than the 06 Heat. dirk didn't carry shit that year. dirk is, and i will go on record as saying this, and will NEVER be the type of player that will "carry" a team to the championship. he is relatively easily stopped when u put quicker, more athletic players on him. the warriors and heat both proved this and the spurs are proving it now by taking bonner off of him.
@ylt34c oh and KG CARRIED the Twolves to the conf finals. by "carried" i mean literally leading in every major statistical category. don't even dream about comparing dirk to KG and even less Duncan until he wins a game of value.
@MrAmore94 so ur telling me dirk is better than Tim Duncan and KG? first of all let's just exclude Duncan cuz u really wouldn't know anything to suggest dirk is better. now that leaves KG. KG has actually heard of a concept called defense. oh and that other little thing called a championship. Dirk may be #3.
lol that's what he does! travel travel travel! and they try to compare him to kobe?!? r u kidding me?? people r blinded by his athleticism and dunking ability and don't even realize the game is about talent.
"people r blinded by his athleticism and dunking ability and don't even realize the game is about talent".
LeBron has consistently produced more points, rebounds, assists, steals, block, has a higher FG%, has a better PER rating, has had more win shares and has had a higher defensive rating than Kobe the last 5 years.
Before you say "LeBron has the ball a lot more than Kobe" you should know that LeBron only handles the ball 2% more than Kobe.
@ylt34c replace starks for reggie miller.. my team owns your team... the only chance you have to win is if lebron controls the pace and the ball like in cleveland... he would have to match with magic. but my team has better shooters better centers, MJ at SG, better PF other than duncan. and just a tougher team. your only bright spot is your SF position with durant, melo, and LeBron. but like i said the King would have to play point for you to have a chance.
this is a stupid argument. if you really think that ur team would beat my team you just don't know the game, plain and simple. u even imply that durant would be one of the players u have to watch out for when he is actually one of the less decorated (worse) players on this roster.
lebron wouldn't handle the ball. that's just dumb. why the fuck would he on a team containing 3 potential HOF PGs?? he only handles the ball on the cavs cuz they don't have the most reliable ballhandling guards.
sure u would potentially have the advantage with magic but i'll take my 3 pretty good guards against 1 great guard and a couple of okay guards.
at the 2, there isn't anything jordan would do that kobe would let him get away with meaning their games r such that if jordan tries to take over, kobe will counter and vice versa.
bron + Melo = unstoppable
tim duncan, greatest PF of all time. kg s a winner unlike barkley/malone
u just can't match the freak athleticism of this team
rofl see that's exactly my point. stockton, as great as he was for those jazz, would not be effective in the league today. chris paul is essentially a suped up version of him. add all kinds of athleticism and the ability to get steals and it's a joke. like i said, u can't match the athleticism of the modern team
@ylt34c you have know idea what you're talking about. if athleticism means everything what about Larry bird, or Magic Johnson, paul pierce, dirk nowitzki, joe johnson, tim duncan, kevin martin. its not all about athleticism my friend. kobe is no longer the most athletic in the league or his team. that would be wade and Lebron. but kobe is still effective because of skill and IQ. in your opinion kobe is ain't as good as wade and Lebron because he's declining. which he is. he had 11 pts and 9 to's
that's exactly the point dude! how many larry birds, aka unathletic white guys do u see in the league today?? zero. the game is no longer accepting guys who are just talented at the game. the requisite athleticism has to also be there or u just don't play.
r u trying to tell me joe johnson, paul pierce and kevin martin aren't athletic?? kill yourself. tim duncan is a big man and is relatively athletic.
kobe was NEVER really the most athletic player in the league. that's exactly why he is the
greatest. the gap between how much he gets done on athleticism and pure basketball talent alone is unheard of. of course he is one of the most athletic players but a guy like lebron gets it done based on winnings from the genetic lottery.
to summarize dude, nowadays if u don't have the athleticism AND the talent, u don't get anywhere. kobe is very athletic as well as extremely talented and that's why he's the greatest. lebron is still that guy who relies on athleticism.
@ylt34c if you think anybody in the league today is as good as Larry Legend we can no longer talk basketball. you are the most disrespectful kobe lover i ever had a convo with. Larry Bird averaged for his career 24 ppg 10 rebounds and 6 ast. he had a bad back the year he avg numbers that kobe could never put together. kobe's averages are no where near as good. don't give me era talk cause lebron is the only one putting up similar numbers there but not as good as bird's. you don't know basketball
lol well kobe bryant is in the league and if you think he's is NOT better than larry "legend" then you should seriously consider counseling or just give up basketball altogether. u seem like a NASCAR kinda guy anyways.
again for like the fifth time, thats 24 and 10 in the 1980's. sorry but don't deny this "era talk" cuz it is fact. u know how they adjust financial figures for inflation? well it's the exact same concept but it's deflation. knock that 24 and 10 down to probably 14 and 5 today.
larry bird essentially is a shorter, less athletic dirk nowitzki and as good as dirk is, he isn't in any conversation of "greatest." he's not even top two PFs in the league right now.
Larry Bird, MJ, and Magic played in an era where the Boston's, LAs, Chicago's, Houston's aka large basketball markets attracted all the great players because of the lack of finances. this is y u have the situation of magic and bird having teams of like 5 HOFs and just beating the fuck outta small market teams
i mean who really can't get a bunch of assists on a team with "the big 3" or kareem/worthy/b. scott/m. cooper so just for once try to put things in perspective before u read some stats and think u actually know what's going on. nowadays teams like OKC and cleveland end up with a couple of the top scorers in the league. basically stop being shortsighted. just because u want to believe something and u have a few stats doesn't mean u know anything or have a point.
@ylt34c you know who doesn't average a bunch of assist with a stacked team? kobe!! he is the most pampered star since bird and magic. he had shaq and now has gasol, bynum odom, and artest. why in the hell is kobe not breaking assist records in the NBA.. i really wish the lakers would trade kobe for wade or Lebron. they would show him how you play with a stacked team. wade and bron would average about 10 assist a game with that team. those guys are would fit in the bird magic era. kobe is a chuck
@ylt34c loooooool Larry bird avg 14 and 5. dude Bird played up until 91 with an unaligned spine and still averaged over 20 pts, 10 bounds, and 6 asts . you are totally disrespectful. im sure dirk and kobe would laugh in your face. kobe is good but he is no larry bird or magic johnson.
im sorry but dirk not even top two? who should be better than maybe melo?
dirks problem is that he doesnt get any calls.. easy to see in the playoffs right now, the spurs defenders are doing flagrants all the time on him, and the referees dont call them at all...
THANK YOU! in the description i agree completely... lebron isnt that special, i mean hes ok, but for some weird reason everyone loves him, when all he does is freaking dunk. this leads everyone to hate kobe...
yes and while players like Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant, and Dwayne Wade are playing like real players, nobody cares and nobody gives them credit. They've proved to be better Defensively and offensively and do better on fundamentals. but someone must have breainwashed everyone cus everywhere i go everyone is OBSESSED with lebron Shame...
Man, you are so fucking dumb because you don't know when you get old, you lose abilities. Look at Brett Farve & Vince Carter. Everybody knows that MJ didn't have all of his abilities, but MJ still had a solid career. He was scoring 40 points on 20 year olds and he setted the record for most points in a game for a 40 year old. When you get old, you are going to lose abilities, ole dumb shit. If MJ was young, he would dominate todays players, lol.
Every superstar gets away with murder. Jordan used to travel 3/4 of the time on every offensive move, etc. It's a joke, the major reason why Orlando won is because the Cavs have no bench, and 0 production from the 4 position. Big Z did zip, Anderson V - zip, Wally Z - zip. No bench = no advancement.
lol they had a bench when they were winning 66 games. everyone wants to worship lebron in different ways and it's kinda cute. the magic were just better than the cavs. realistically, the celtics and cavs were better than the magic so don't be surprised they won.
ah yes a lebron hater i love them they give me fuel to the fire imagine Kobe on the Cavs they would be lucky if they won 16 games let alone 66 kobe is overrated.
lol r u kidding? he took the Lakers with kwame brown, smush parker, luke walton, chris mihm, and devean george to the playoffs and 45 wins in the varsity west.
give him another all-star and a pretty good shooting team in the JV east? well let's just say he woulda won more than 2 games against orlando at least.
lol i know! i woulda been hot if the magic actually lost this game like it was looking for a while!
yeah i know the foul but this gets on my nerves simply for 1 reason. i mean kobe could get away with an offensive foul but he damn sure doesn't travel.
LeBron has now become a serial traveler with the game on the line yet the league doesn't say anything about it.
Agree... I watched the game yesterday and he did it again.. It was probably a minute left and he drove to the basket. He took 5 steps without dribbling. LOL.. Good thing he was called for a foul.. I think.. But tell me the refs didn't see that he travelled...
The NBA is a joke.
