-Lead his team to 27 straight wins.
-Dominate games/the league shooting less and averaging less than 20 shots a game
-Close out a Finals with a triple double
-Have both a triple double and GAME WINNING SHOT in a playoff game
I could go on, but I'll stop there.![]()
I'm really not understanding this... People act like the Heat have a team full of first ballot hall of famers! News flash, the difference between the Heat and the Pacers is LEBRON JAMES! That's it! To a man, based on players, there is no huge disparity of talent down the line...
27 game winning streak.... NICE!!... but... 72-10 IS BETTER THAN THAT...
Close out a Finals with a triple double... NICE... BUT... 6 for 6 in the FINALS is BETTER THAN 1 FOR 3...
Close out a Finals with a Triple Double is NICE... BUT... Never going beyond Game 6... IS BETTER THAN THAT...
Have a triple double and game winning shot in a playoff game is NICE... BUT... DO WE EVEN HAVE TO TALK ABOUT GAME WINNING SHOTS WHEN IT COME TO JORDAN... I don;t think so...
Dominate a game/the league shooting less... BLAH... BLAH... BLAH... WHATEVER???
How about this... BEING dominated... and utterly... PUNKED BY LESSER TALENT...
THIS IS WHERE LEBRON AND MJ PART WAYS... MJ has NEVER... EVER... been dominated or punked by lesser talent in the finals...
Picture Jason Terry and Deshawn Stevenson PUNKING MJ......
I like Lebron just as much as the next guy... but... TAKE IT EASY ON BATH SALTS...![]()
The Heat have 3 starters that are arguably in the top 5 at their respective positions in the league. The Heat also have the best 3-point shooter in NBA history coming off the bench and getting quality minutes. They may not all be first ballot hall of famers, but let's not pretend that this team is suffering from a lack of talent outside of Lebron. A huge talent disparity? No, but the talent level would still favor the Heat.
Looking at this match-up on paper, the Heat would have the advantage in both starters and reserves, and comparing the Heat roster to the Cavs (done by another poster) is disingenuous.

Way to put the popcorn away and regulate shit Van! And by the way, as broken down as Wade is looking its doubtful Lebron is ever going to sniff MJ's finals dominance. He might not even make it to 6 finals! Motherfucker doing all that celebrating after signing with the Heat they couldn't hear Wades body creaking already!
And your right, MJ had motherfuckers too shook to talk shit about him! They knew the ass whipping it would bring the next game. Not to think of all the damn HOFers MJ kept from chips... Barkley, ReggieN Malone ans Stockton, no disrespect but your boy Patrick! Dude ruled the league on the court and mentally. The only way Hakeem was able to grab one was when he retired!
Yeah... LBJ is greater than His Airness!!!

Once INKOSI got BITCHED out by Dallas... sniffing MJ's Finals greatness was OUT THE WINDOW...
Getting swept by the Spurs wasn't as bad as that...
INKOSI totally BITCHED UP... which something that we've NEVER seen Jordan do... Especially not in the Finals...
Working More Magic, Jordan Disappears as Bulls Lose To Pistons
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — Yes, almost anybody might have expected the Detroit Pistons to be successful Wednesday night on their home court, to take a 3-2 advantage over the Chicago Bulls in their ferocious match to see who fights the Lakers for the National Basketball Assn. championship.
Yes, somebody might have even foreseen Vinnie (Microwave) Johnson coming off the bench to score 16 of his 22 points for Detroit in the fourth quarter, breaking open a close game.
However, could anybody have anticipated, before Detroit's 94-85 victory over Chicago in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals, that:
--Chicago's Michael Jordan would take only eight shots in 46 minutes?
--Craig Hodges would lead Chicago in shots \o7 and\f7 points?
--Bill Laimbeer would be benched by Detroit the entire fourth quarter?
--Detroit's Isiah Thomas and Mark Aguirre would be benched \o7 almost\f7 the entire fourth quarter?
--Detroit's starting five would combine in the fourth quarter for three points?
--Brad Sellers would play 22 minutes for Chicago after not playing in the past three games--and take one less shot than Jordan?
No wonder it was suggested that the Bulls turned Jordan into a $2.5-million-a-year decoy.
"That's a pretty crass thing to say," Jordan's coach, Doug Collins, snapped back. "That's a pretty big shot to take at us.
"Michael scores 46 points, and people say he's not sharing enough of the offense. Now he takes eight shots and you tell him he's the highest-priced decoy in the game.
"Is that fair?"
Jordan sure didn't think so.
He made a conscious effort, he said, to involve his teammates in the offense, what with the Pistons putting everybody but their trainer on him when he touched the ball.
"Why should I take the shots if they're double-teaming me, triple-teaming me, sometimes even putting four guys on me?" Jordan asked. "Didn't we still get good shots?"
Yes, Michael.
"Well, did we hit 'em?"
No, Michael.
"That's the whole story," Jordan said. "We gotta hit 'em."
Held to 18 points--10 on free throws--Jordan was virtually no scoring factor in the game, although he did account for more than half (nine) of Chicago's assists.
Detroit's defense just keeps wearing Air Jordan and the Jordanaires down, bit by bit. The Bulls got only 80 points in Game 4. This time they got only 85, and were outshot by the Pistons by a ridiculously lopsided 80-59--the 59 shots an all-time playoff low by any NBA team.
For those saying the calls were "even" Steve Javie the #1 Ref supporter in the world even called the James foul and Wade travel bad calls
First off... I'm not pissed... just trying to educate... no need for name calling...I done pissed off an old timer. I's done insulted Phil Knight's bottom bitch. Jordan never BITCHED UP?
http://articles.latimes.com/1989-06-01/sports/sp-1414_1_michael-scores-detroit-s-isiah-thomas-shots
After being criticized for being a ballhog and shutting out his teammates in Game 4, Jordan pulls a "Kobe in Phoenix" and stops shooting in Game 5 to prove a point that his scoring is most important. Pistons didnt even need their starters in the 4th to beat Mike.Keep in mind Bulls were up 2-1 in this series, then choked away 3 straight. Jordan BITCHED UP but since it didnt happen in the Finals, Vandamnation has blocked it out of his mind.

First off... I'm not pissed... just trying to educate... no need for name calling...
Second... That Pistons team was loaded and simply better at that time than the Bulls...
This ain't 2007 and this isn't the same Ray Allen! *nd this for damn sure aint the same D Wade that beat the Mavs so your point is moot! That's like saying the Mike Tyson that came out of prison was the same one that dominated in the 80s. And what did that hype get him? A freshly whipped ass regularly! Old accomplishments don't men shit and they aren't helping Ray hit 3s or Wade play beyond mediocre...
The comparison is based on todays game not career resumes!
And Hibbert camps out in the lane more than 3 secs all day along with blatantly pushing a defender when he gets boxed out for a rebound...
Now watch game 5 there will be a few techs and Hibbert and West in foul trouble early
It wasn't the amount of calls because it was basically even on both teams but it was the quality of calls.
Once James got his 5th I told my lady watch he foul out and to further secure the game watch it will be another bullshit call on the heat where it finishes the game
Sure enough a walk was called on wade on a step back play he has done hundreds of times in his career ...
This has been the worst officiated series and its up there with quite a few of them
Miami is going to win the next 2....
Pacers are no rivalry of the heat shit is bein manufactured
Bulls and Heat that's a rivalry
We all know Miami is 300 times better than the Pacers because for the amount of times the heat attrack the rim hibbert contest every shot yet no calls
Funny those same calls would go against Noah all day and he is a better defensive player than Hibbert
First off... I'm not pissed... just trying to educate... no need for name calling...
Second... That Pistons team was loaded and simply better at that time than the Bulls... Just like, The Spurs were better than Cleveland when thew Cavs got swept... That's why I don't hold that against INKOSI that much.
It was a natural progression... Detroit had to fight to past Boston... then fight to get past the Lakers... Chicago was basically... next in line...
Hibbert is doing the SAME thing he did in the Knicks series...
He camps and he does the Georgetown 3 step damn near every time he gets the ball... and you know what... FUCK IT!!!!
I'm glad the refs are cheating... NOT BECAUSE I WANT THE HEAT TO LOSE... BUT... BECAUSE NOW NIGGAS GET TO SEE WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT...
No game was worse than game 6 Indy vs Knicks...
It's bad enough that we were physically outmatched... but to have the refs do that BULLSHIT...
The bad thing is... You HEAT and PACERS fans are getting shitted on the these HORRIBLE refs...
It's just bad officiating ALL THE WAY AROUND...
Man. This dude has created a fictional name in which to praise Lebron all by himself, he has lebron as his avatar, and has in a disturbing way dedicated his sig to Lebron.... dude.... why even waste the time?... it would be like arguing with Bill Gates about how shitty Windows Vista was. He's not a just a fanboy he is leading the movement in a historical and zealous nature. He's borderline trolling with that Inkosi shitJust let him be man.
I will let you guys be. You call him "His Airness" and act like him becoming a champion wasnt a "process" and that he never lost or bitched up in the playoffs. I understand your love and devotion to Michael Jordan. You've been buying his sneakers for 20 years and brainwashed into thinking volume shooting scoring guards are the be all and end all of basketball. I understand you guys only look at one dimension of Mike and ignore his obvious faults. I never said he wasnt an OG legend of the game or one of the best to ever pick up a basketball. Just said he aint LeBron and never will be. Thats not a strike, a lot of players will never be LeBron.
I've never called him that shit. I'm not talking about what everyone else does. I'm talking about what YOU do particularly. If you notice a pattern, anytime you and I discuss anything basketball related (which is less frequently as it's pointless) you are the first person to mention Michael Jordan. The last two times I mentioned Michael Jordan one of my two comments was "Michael Jordan needs to be laid to rest as the league has grown beyond him".
Dawg. You're way more obsessed with Jordan than anyone. You have him in your SIG!
Lebron is alright with me so it doesn't really bother me. But the level to which you have taken your zealotry is pretty incredible.

Blah, blah, blah
It hurts my feelings you think LeBron is better than Jordan. Why are you doing this to me. Please stop it.
You dudes are so sensitive over MJ. Put the johnson & johnsons away and man up. When LeBron wasnt winning it was cool to bring MJ up to shit on LeBron, now that the shoe is on the other foot yall acting scary? Fuck that, no excuses, and no immunity. We're not comparing a bum to MJ, we're comparing LeBron James. You dudes go homotional when anybody say somebody is better than uncle tom MJ.

Man. I don't care if you think Lebron is better than Jordan. I was, along with GeneCisco, the first person on this board who even proposed the possibility in the first place...long before you were a fanboy.
It's just kind of funny how you've created your own name to call him and shit. I'm not mad. I'm laughing at you dawg. You're just trying too hard.![]()
not to jump in but this is what people talking about bro.
he just said that he was ok with lebron and that he doesn't reference him like you do.
then you turn around and just come up with this shit.
.
I had to switch it up man.
Me calling him "King", his nickname, was affecting people's self worth. It was fucking up their head to see a prominent black man addressed in such a respectable manner..
I don't even mind the argument.I was one of the first ones on this board that said Lebron could end up being "better" than Jordan and that was years ago after he raped my Pistons in the playoffs. There is a legitimate argument for several players as better players than Jordan.
Dude is crazy though![]()
Let's see...
what about when Jason Terry told him to his face in MIAMI...' THIS IS MY CRIB, NIGGA!!!'... or when Deshawn Stevenson told him' TO WIPE THAT 3pt shot out of his eye.' IN every instance... I saw the SAME look...
Bottom line... I HOPE YOU DON'T GO OUTSIDE AND BITE SOMEBODY'S FACE OFF...
do you currently work for mike or something?
does he talk down to you and you come on here and try to sully his name?
you can just piss in his lemonade man.
