You right, if you don't agree its dumb....
Today's NBA player flops and cries for calls bcz the league enables them.... just like most men would cheat if their girl let them get away with it...
Why wouldn't a player complain and look for fouls if it resulted in W's? DWade won a chip on the backs of the officials. In 06 he out shot the entire Mavs team at the line.

This man speaks the truth. These guys are a product of the environment. Example, look at all the flopping on Miami's team. Chalmers, Miller, etc... these guys do it because IT WORKS. Not saying it's right, but neither was Hack-a-Shaq and you're not gonna try and tell me that strategy was anything but what it was.

Hibbert would be like a 3rd tier center at best back in the day. Rik Smits was better and taller than he is and he was like a 2nd tier center back then.
Roy Hibbert is like a second tier center today just gets paid like a first tier center

Flopping has nothing to do with what I was saying. Lebron Isn't able to go off on super older Duncan and splitter. I'm saying I have no idea what he could do against centers in the 90s. If the basket was locked out and he had to depend on a jumper. What happens? Meanwhile someone who weighs significantly less and simply isn't as much of a physical freak as lebron dominated that entire era.
One guy was going to the hole to score and the other is going to the hole looking for a bail out. Is the NBA at fault for calling super tickey tack fouls for him during the regular season? Maybe.
Talent isn't the reason.

I disagree. Maybe I'm biased cuz I saw him whoop the Knicks but he has grown. (no Hibbert)

I agree with you as well. I was only agreeing with whomever's point it was that these guys play to what works.
I 100% believe LeBron James wouldn't be nearly who he is in today's league in the NBA '85-2000. People see all the muscles and athleticism of today's game and forget that the guys who play defense and move like the less athletic players of the 90s are still having success. It's not like today's NBA is 100% athleticism > talent/skill. Hell, this series is proving that far and wide. And LeBron would have ESPECIALLY suffered with handchecking.
LeBron's first step is weak. And I'm talking about the one after he travels... because he travels on 90% of his first steps.

I'd like Hibbert's game but he is 2nd tier. The guy needs to bring it for a whole season and the playoffs.

Exactly. Spurs get no credit.
It's all sad humans in here that hate this man so much that they root for any team that plays him.. As much as I hated seeing Lebron lose to the mavs I loved him taking a shot at all the peasants in the media and online who hate on him and think their hate will hurt his legacy or effect his life. He will go back to that mansion on the bay, rich, great health and family and be living the life.... while people in this thread go back to their 9-5 and hating on forums for e props.
Too bad that won't happen this year.

Maybe only Howard and Gasol. There are other bigs listed as centers but I don't consider them centers.

I'm guessing Dwight, Lopez, Bynum, Gasol, Duncan
Then Hibbert, Noah, Horford, Tyson, Jefferson

Best big man in the game is Marc gasol with one shoe on his foot, and one on his hand. Someone bless us with that gif please

Why are people here blaming Spoelstra for Lebron's 36% shooting. All the credit was given to Lebron when he was shooting 60% against garbage teams but as soon as it dips it is Spoelstra's fault.
You just can't defend Lebron when he had a lot of layps, hooks, and floaters not go in. That is all on him.
Spoelstra is doing his best to keep Lebron in that 10 foot range, the only area where he is lethal, and Lebron has not responded.
Lebron is gonna get the same layups and floaters in game 6 and probably make them.

I see it two ways. Both are at fault, LeBron being the most at fault.
1) Bron's energy level was not where it needed to be for some odd reason and he was not finishing at the rim. He went through the motions and his team followed. He also allowed Diaw to remain in the game by not making him work on the defensive end.
2) The minute Spo saw Diaw checking LeBron, he should have gotten LeBron on the move, sending Diaw through several screens and making him defend the pick and roll. A coach sees his star player struggling, you get him an easy bucket in your halfcourt sets. This happened once on an inbound play and a few times on baseline screens out of timeouts. Also, if LeBron does not appear to be in it mentally, you have got to pull him to the side and check him, which we know that Spo is far too hesitant to do. Better served with Fisdale doing it.
