Heat in 6.
This is a complete win win series for me to watch!!! I will be happy with whoever wins

Exactly what I said bruh. I never contradicted what you said. I agree that it's a team game and great players need their team to step up for them as well. No arguments with that. As for the MJ stuff, all I wanted to say is that it ain't fair to compare MJ to anyone. Bron should just be Bron as Kobe should just be Kobe.Originally Posted by jc619er
It's clear no one really understood where I was going with this. The original post he kept saying that if it wasn't for Mike Miller and Chalmers having monster games and Wade and Bosh having a monster series that Lebron wouldn't have won and yes that's true but that goes for any other team in the history of sports. And that's why I pointed out the teams that I did.Originally Posted by knightngale
The argument is pretty simple. Lebron will never be able to do what MJ did. He will not even win as many rings as MJ EVEN with this loaded Heat team. Therefore, Lebron will never reach that level. Similar with Kobe but to a lesser extent.Originally Posted by donmega
Just my 2 cents though... I really don't get all the fascination about great NBA players having to win a ring by themselves to prove something. I find nothing wrong if you trust your teammates too. Basketball is still a team game, not won by a single individual. If we want to see great individual stars in action, there's always tennis or golf to switch to.
And of course, winning the 'chip doesn't just go to the best teams per se. There's still a lot of intangibles to consider, like lucking out with a rival player being injured (think Isiah being injured on one of his Finals appearance) or having the G.O.A.T. not in the game (think the Rockets in 94/95). Or for a more recent example, Perkins being injured on that last 'chip you got with against the C's (to be more fair, same as when the C's won it with you guys not having Bynum). Point is, you can never say a team lucked out because another player was injured. That's just the breaks in the game. For me it's such a foolish assumption. If the tables were turned and it's your team that lucked out, I would assume you'd be looking the other way.
If you're really a Laker fan, you should know about this. Magic was never a star who wanted to win it all by himself.
Again that's just my take.
Yes Lebron will never be MJ but do you think that MJ would have won had Paxon not started hitting his 3's in that first series against the Lakers. Do you think Kobe would have won had Shaq not been there dominating. Do you think Kobe would have won that game 7 against the Celtics if people didn't pick up the slack because he was having an off night.
Great players need a team to step up and win with him and that's exactly what the Heat did but on top of that Lebron led that team with a dominant performance that can't be overlooked. Lebron stepped up and played like a superstar for an entire playoffs and an entire finals series and that's what helped get them over the hump along with the rest of his team backing him up.
