Not trying to sound bias or a homer but staph is the best pg of all time. I seen magic in his prime and steph does everything he did but with explosive scoring. Better defender as well

Steph isn't the greatest defender by any stretch of the imagination, but you can never say he doesn't give his best effort on that side of the ball. The dude actually tries to play defensive to the best of his ability. That's all you can ask of a player at the end of the day. There are other guys in the league up to his caliber and doesn't give half the effort on defense as Steph does.

There's a lot to be said about that.

You guys were right. No one expected the Cavs to win. Except for all of these people:








































































































































































































Lebron willed his team to the finals against all expectations. Not to mention, next to no one chose the raptors on the god damn poll.

Give me a god damn break.

I called that ish. That ish was easy af to predict. I knew Cavs would win the east soon as Kyrie was done.

Idk what the argument is , i just Got a notification for getting quoted.

But fam you must be really bored or really hate/love the Cavs to go back and quote
All this ****

damn junglejim . The receipts you have is kind of creepy. I know about the search function, but dammit, that looks like you saved it for a future date.

What are those predictions? Mine said GSW in 6 and Cavs in 7 (I think). Was that prior to conference championship?

 

[junglejim]

None of those quotes are from me
junglejim

Thats not what you said.

But regardless lots of folks were picking the Cavs to lose to the Raptors and Celtics so y’all cant play that card now.

Out of busy season at work. I've got time right now. But you can click on the quote to see where it came from.

 

[wavycrocket]

someone post Windhorst video after the Cavs game 7 win for @freeze . The one where he was saying that series win is as good as a championship win.

[BIG FISH]

Thats not what you said.

I’m sure if I went and looked at the brackets and dug up old posts I could find people picking the Raptors and Celtics bro..

I voted Cavs both polls. Dont quote me again.

BIG FISH was never that confident about this cavs team before or after the trade deadline

Let me put this here for you again to save some time. Apparently lots of folks is 14.

 

[smedroc]

I didn't say that. Not sure why you immediately jumped to that conclusion. Sure, 8 straight finals appearances is impressive, but when you're doing it against weak competition in your respective conference, it's going to be held against you. Again, you're argument is volume. When you consider volume into the conversation, you're immediately discounting value. At that point it's a law of averages. But unfortunately, this ain't baseball where doing something well only 30% of the time is impressive.

Why should we be impressed with going to the Finals 8-9 times and winning 3 times as a major accomplishment, when we've already seen someone go 6 times and won 6 times and was responsible for those wins? I'm sorry, but I can't get over that. And neither will most people.

Statistics don't mean much. Wilt Chamberlain dominated in that regard, but again it's held against him because of the competition he's faced during that time.

Safe to say the level of competition in the NBA has been pretty decent the last 15 years so there’s no Asterix next to Bron’s numbers.

And if stats don’t mean much why is Lebron even in the same conversation as MJ? There’s plenty of guys who have won more rings than he has.

It clearly matters.

 

[k3stacks]

man what? ofc I had bron in the finals. there were people that had them losing every round tho

 

[youngwolf]

Like winter, the slander is ****ing coming.

Doesn’t change what I said bro lol
Can’t lie tho you a good troll
Can’t refute your data

Put that in a spoiler

Again for emphasis. 70% of the all NBA talent has been in the conference opposite of Lebron since going to Miami. 3 other first team players in that same span from the east not named Lebron. His competition has been a joke overall.

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

This didnt age well

Are there still any Embiid doubters out there? Still too early to crown him?

 

[BIG FISH]

All season people talked about how trash the Cavs are and how they wouldn’t make the Finals... now the East is trash again and LeBron played nobody
junglejim these narrative switches go both ways bro

 

[youngwolf]

@freeze

This might be the most shameful **** I've ever seen in my life. Dude is basically begging everyone to suck L3/8ron off.

"if you were alive to witness this...." FOH

Witness what exactly?

Then look at the goofy *** look on his face to end it:

 

[BIG FISH]

And if LeBron was in the West he would have better teammates.... meaning probably less Finals appearances but more rings

If stats matter then why isn't Kareem in the discussion? Why isn't Westbrook considered the second coming of Jesus? Why isn't James Harden considered top 3? Why is Jadakiss as hard as it gets?

 

[BIG FISH]

Pull the receipts

Broooo I don’t feel like searching for that.
But ironically enough it was the main dudes in here now hating on Bron like MVP Whitlock and Wavy saying it.
