Kareem is not that far off from those 2. Check his stats and accolades
HELLO DARKNESS MY OLD FRIEND
I don't understand Curry's thought process. He can be a good passer when he tries. Why didn't he drive past Love and just lay it in, or kick it out if the D collapsed? Is he that much in love with the 3s?
>>68736205
Carried by Magic. Not even close to the all round force LeBron is.

Should i get a Lebron jersey bros?
With LeBron at 31, he's already probably a top 3 all time just in terms of accolades and legacy. That's what's ridiculous - he still feasibly has many years left of finals appearances. His career isn't close to done.
He also combines the best body in NBA history with maybe the highest IQ in NBA history. If being the GOAT all around player doesn't make you GOAT, then what does?
>>68736274
Going for a three when your team really needs three points at the end of the game to tie and you are personally the best three point shooter ever is the right thing to do. Too bad he bricked it.
>>68736774
I'd get a Kyrie jersey, but it's up to you.
Rate my top 5 all time
1. Jordan
2. Lebron
3. Magic
4. Kareem
5. Duncan
>>68736818
They had like 45 seconds. That's at least two more possessions or even more if you foul properly.
>>68736906
>Magic over Kareem
See me after class
The magnitude of this choke will loom over the warriors franchise for the rest of time
>>68736906
As long as LeBron and Jordan are 1 and 2 in some order that's fine by me
worse choke: 2013 spurs or 2016 warriors?
funny how lebitch can only win when other teams fuck up lmao
>>68736993
>only rookie to win Finals MVP
>carried Lakers in the 80s
>5 rings
>>68736906
1. MJ
2. LeGod
3. Kareem
4. Bird
5. Magic
What's the deal with people rating Magic a few places ahead of Bird? Is it racism?
Jordan doesn't miss open looks, leroid is a better athlete though
>>68736906
>Timmy over Shaq
>>68736823
touches the rim. aint that illegal? honest question
>>68735766
He actually did it.
My minds been all fucked with disbelief and excitement since it happened.
It' been zero years since Cleveland has won a championship.
1. Jordan
2a. Kareem
2b. Lebron
4. Magic
5. Bird
>>68736906
I don't think Timmy is top 5, I don't think he was as dominant as hakeem or shaq
For the record tho I think top 5 lists are dumb so I'm not sure how much weight my opinion carries
>>68737198
lebron touched the rim way after he blocked
I guess it technically COULD be illegal but the play happened so fast/touching the rim didn't affect the ball's trajectory in any way so it's a moot point
>>68737173
>Bird
Not even the best SF and Duncan is a better overall player all time than Bird so he takes his spot in the top 5
Can someone PLEASE post some 7KT memes for the love of god
>>68737137
Funny how other teams can win when lebron fucks up lmao right?
Argument works both fucking ways you jackass
>>68737273
>I don't think he was as dominant as hakeem or shaq
duncan is better than hakeem all-time
>>68737137
>funny how his team only wins when the other team loses
APOLOGIZE
>>68737273
Agree about everything desu, they're generally pointless but my top 5 is along the lines of:
MJ
LeBron
Kareem
Hakeem
Shaq/Magic
>>68737317
Thanks, guy.
>>68737173
Magic had a longer career so he's remembered better.
>>68737137
2016 Warriors by a landslide breh. This is worse than 18-1, 2001 Mariners, 2004 Yankees, etc
Warriors had THREE (3) chances to win, and TWO (2) of them were at home. Niggas ended up losing 3 straight
actually nvm 04 Yankees still the worst
>>68737395
5 rings is definitely a compelling argument. I don't think I watched hakeem play once outside of dumb YouTube highlights so I really can't argue at all.
I also think shaq was more dominant than Timmy, but again you could argue either way. Timmy was a better 2 way player than shaq. It's all about what you value.
>>68736602

"IT WAS 3-1 MR.KRABS! HE WAS DOWN 3-1!"
>>68736815
People tend to forget Jordan did what he did in only 13 seasons. Retiring twice in his prime and two of those seasons being when he was an old man.
He most likely would have won out the entire 90s. I love LeBron, been my favorite player since his OG Cleveland days but he is playing for #2.
Patrician top 5:
1. Jordan
2. Bird
3. Shaq
4. LeBron
5. Hakeem
Prove me wrong. You literally can't.
>73-9
>no team has come back from down 3-1 before
>only need to win 1 of the last 3, of which 2 are at home
>>68737137
I'm a spurs fan but clearly the warriors. We never had a 3-1 lead, the heat team had home court, they were better than these Cavs, we weren't 73-9. Shitty loss but definitely less worse than the Warriors.

>11-year old LeBron James Jr. already has standing scholarship offers from Duke and Kentucky, per @WindhorstESPN and @mcten.
Not gonna put people in a nber based order but this is my top five players of all time.
Wilt,Jordan, LeBron,Magic, and Kareem.

>Matthew Dellavedova has more rings than Chuck, CP3, Nash, Dominique, Malone, Deke, Iverson, Stockton, Ewing and Baylor combined
>Dellavedova has the same amount of rings as Dirk, Garnett, Big O and The Glove
So the blueprint to beat the Warriors is to run a wing lineup all at 6'7, whine better at the refs, and injure Stephen Curry.
Sounds like a solid plan, the Clippers and Cavaliers are lightyears ahead of everyone else if true.

LeBron has like 3 total seasons on Jordan at 31. And Jordan missed most of his second. Not a fair comparison.

I don't want to experience this feel anymore. What was it like for you Jordanfags when he retired?
What people forget about Jordan is that the only players capable of guarding him were both on his team. LeBron has had to deal with all time perimeter defenders and in Iguodala, Leonard, Green and Sefalosha and just now, the team with the most versatile set of wing defenders and rim protection in history.
you just know
>>68742686
Blatt is the better coach, but in basketball you only need a good coach if you have worse players. Blatt would have them running sets when all they needed to do was spam Kyrie isos.

>Shump has more rings than Karl Malone
>>68743118
smith's role is 3's. kerr is better at it
shumps role is d. harper is better at it
bulls had better and more defined players in their roles. kukoc even could be considered better than love pending matchup
Hi
>>68743118
>tt < rodman
Just one chevron? Thompson is one of the best rebounders in the league right now. Rodman is by a million light years the best rebounder ever and we will not see a better one in our lifetimes, statistically speaking. I don't think Thompson gives you that much more on offense than Rodman, plus I have Rodman as a better defender than Thompson. At least two chevrons.
>smith >> kerr
In terms of team contribution, Kerr was essential to letting Michael do what he did inside, by having the best shooter of all time (at the time) on the outside. No way is Smith two chevrons better, I'd say they're equal.
Other than that, it's pretty fair.
>yfw LeGod signs with a new team every year that doesn't have a ring and wins won for them
Basically what I'm saying is, please come to Atlanta LeGod. We can't beat you in the playoffs.

>>68743190
Smith is so much more than the Reddick/Korver type shooter, he's also a great defender, very athletic and a great finisher.
Kerr averaged 4 ppg in the playoffs
>>68743234
My bad about TT, I'm the last guy to underrate Rodman
About JR, he's just a much better player than kerr and was able to do more than his role when needed
Wade is better than Kobe

>>68736482
Tears of laughter. I'm gonna miss him.
How can you choke so hard when you already won a championship last year? Dont you get the experience to not choke again?
Lebron lost to Dirk and learned to never take it for granted and choke like this. You'd think curry and the memeoirs would have to. Is beating up injured teams for a ring a pointless endeavor? Their ring deserves an asterisk since love irving didnt even play last year.
>>68742775
Stopped watching basketball out of anger and being let down until 2004 when the Bulls started the season 0-9 and I wanted to see how long the streak could go. Ended up 45-37 and had a decent year. That was my favorite team other than 90's Bulls.
>>68743190
>roles in the modern NBA
You have to be a jack of all trades or teams will target the hell out of you. Kerr would barely be playable because it's 2 points every time he gets switched onto LeBron or Kyrie.
The warriors should trade curry and green for phillys pick tbqh
how will the warriors ever recover?
>>68743590
Green is a good player albeit his skill ceiling is low due to how bad his shooting often gets and his lack of athleticism. He has the mentality down though.
Curry is garbage though, mentally and physically fragile. His value is decreasing slowly. When his contract is up he'll be so exposed they let him walk.

To all the true Cleveland fans enjoy this and you deserve it. Being a Lions fan I know what it's like. I am all Detroit fan but you they deserve it.
I am more excited to see how this team will come back next season. Will LeBron at age 32 still be in Cleveland trying to defend the title? Will the team still be motivated? Was this a one time thing?
Eastern Conference will be gunning for the Cavaliers.
>it's up to the cavs whether he gets a ring or not
If you're dan gilbert do you go ahead and give him a ring? I'd say not since he showed just how much of a flopping faggot he was this series and talked shit about our team and how great the warriors were after he left. Plus he had absolutely no impact for the team while he was on it anyway. Please don't give him a ring if you don't have to
So what will the Love trade look like? I still can't figure a good one out. I'm not a huge fan of the Bledsoe trade idea.

>>68744280
Fuck no don't give him a ring. He was so shit in the 3rd quarter. Klay and Curry, back to back plays with him, and what does he do?
1) Make the ball slip
2) FLOP

>Someone as good as Steph
can this really be used an argument for a guy who throws a behind the back pass out of bounds during a crucial late game possession in game 7 of the finals?
>>68744388
no
you can become an elite shooter who cant do anything but stand in the corner and wait for someone to pass you the ball whenever you eventually do play with people
So is it a given that Lebron resigns in Cleveland since they won?

Clearly.
I love the bandwagon butthurt. Please give me more tears and sobs. Gove me more moans of refs. Give me more clips of Steph bricks. Give me Klay walking in shame without congratulating the champs. Give me the shrieks of Kyrie's dagger three. And the sweetest of all, the look of victory turning into despair as Iggy gets swattted on a fastbreak from LeBron.
is anderson varejao the ultimate bandwagoner of all time?

Depends on if Curry's collapse is due to his injury and passes or if his magic is broken forever.

They did it with Kobe too after his last 2 titles and then the way his career spiraled towards the end a lot of people don't even consider him top 5. LeBron will probably go down as number 2 but no chance at #1. Time lets people look at things more clearly. Remember how many people were saying Dirk was top 10 after he won?
