back to back 64 win seasons with 'garbage'.

Then dudes were good enough to get us to the playoffs, so Kobe had a good enough team to win with all of them... but didn't.

'S on him.

Can't blame kobe for the Dwight year though, he didn't play in the playoffs

No it isn't. Somewhere along the line, you have to (or don't) acknowledge fortune, teammates, circumstance, etc. it comes into the equation bro.

Sorry to kill your romanticized view of basketball and sports, but it doesn't work like how ESPN, or other media outlets proclaim it does. 


"He willed his team to the championship. He's the best ever! Look at how he just willed his team to win rings" Nah. You have to factor in those other things too, or else you are just being ignorant of the actualities that come with playing for championships in sports.

You're making a valiant effort, but it's not going to get you anywhere. Sea manup' view on this subject is written in stone that's encased in titanium. It's not changing.

So much comedy in one sentence.

the only comedy is how hard ur puffing your chest now that lebron is back on ur team after s***** on yall publicly the way he did.

EL OH EL

He's not really a Cavs fan. Dude was a Heat "fan" just last year.

 

[victor page]

Paul Pierce > Lebron

Game 7 in Cleveland.

Ain't no way NBA isn't gonnahave their #1 star to NOT make the Finals. Adam silver being in Game 5 to make sure. That call on Taj was foolish.

Sounds like what they said in '09 & '10.

But it's cool. If All else fails just blame the refs.

bron wasnt the #1 star those years. Kobe was.

I'm not going to say shoeking is wrong. We just have different perspectives on life.

I think "luck" is a terrible concept that people use to feel better about their short comings. If you work hard and smart enough you can create your own luck

Would have lost to the set in the next round anyway tbh

next round would have been home court advantage every game of the series. We had a good chance of winning that

He's right. AI's handle was solid, but his quickness was his biggest asset. He didn't have the ball on a string the way Kyrie and Steph do. Only older school player I can think of that had that kind of handle is Isiah.
