Does winning matter in any way to you?
MJ was down 3-1 to the Pistons in 88. Youtube the Game 5 of the series to see how he responded to his back against the wall in a pressure situation. He crumbled like a cookie.
The Bad Boys Pistons team that the Bulls beat would have had this warrior team afraid to take the court.
Curry would have had to defend either Isaiah, Dumars, or Aguirre. And if he ever even looked like he wanted to go into the lane...
Rodman would have locked down Dramond completely.
Pistons in 5.
Hell, the Lakers team in 91 would have beaten this Warriors team. They may have beaten the Bulls that year if Worthy didn't get hurt.
You nor I dont know if MJ would have lost or not; lets stick to facts and not just state anything; I said Cavs would get swept if they continued to play like they did in games 1 and 2; Please learn to read and comprehend; I also said that GS would win in 6; clearly wrong; what were you saying when the Cavs were down 3-1 before green got suspended?????? Ill answer for you, not a got dam thing was coming out of your mouth!!!!; so again everyone, including you, have been wrong; Alot of things went right for the Cavs; and they made plays when they had to; And alot of things went wrong for GS; and they shit the bed when they had too....its real simple; stop with these MJ and LBJ comparisons; they are useless!!!!!!
I used to think you were smart. But this right here.... So the bulls competition was just weak? Another example of you not looking at the other side. Maybe the bulls were just that good. How many people in the HOF were prevented from winning a ring because of this team. Now tell me how many potential HOFers has LeBron prevented? Think about that and then tell me the comp was weaker back then.
The bulls never needed to do it because they dominated. Are you crazy? For real. Stop typing, open your mind, and think logically.
So why did this great team not have a 3-1 lead last year? They were down 1-2. How is that possible?

I agree if its 80s rules. But if its by the "flagrant foul" rules Jordan had created in 1990 they would not. And none of the teams Jordan saw in a Final could beat this Warrior team.
Explain to me why it needed to be done now. See my point? Here is so great, right, why be in that hole to begin with. Jordan never put himself in that position.
Eewwl I told you prior to Game 7 that the new argument when LeBron won was that GS was overrated and not that good. I rest my case.
So upsets don't happen? The team with a better record has never lost to a team with a lesser record? I'm still waiting on proof on how this GS team is better than the teams three bulls played. Where's the proof?
Jordan was in the hole in 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, and 95.
Like LeBron against Dallas? Or GS last year?
Man, my man Rodman would be singing like this after Green got through with him..The Bad Boys Pistons team that the Bulls beat would have had this warrior team afraid to take the court.
Curry would have had to defend either Isaiah, Dumars, or Aguirre. And if he ever even looked like he wanted to go into the lane...

In Finals? Stay on topic. That's what we're talking about. Not in previous rounds, the finals. That's why this years comeback was a big deal, because it was the finals.
Best team always win a 7 game series.
Going by your logic one could imply the 93 Suns and 92 Blazers were better than those Bulls teams. They were just upset.
Still waiting on Jordans Finals performance better than this 1? Cmon man just give us 1. You scared?
I see you editied your post so that you said he WASN'T the reason they loss. I quoted your original post sir, you need to proof read before you post reply.
Deflection. Point is, we can say the bulls were better than those teams because they played each other. GS has no way of playing those teams, so there is no proof that they are better.Best team always win a 7 game series.

And go back to my other post, I already said why Jordan didn't have those stats. And why he didn't need those stats. But just to entertain you further, look at his stats against the Sun's. Didn't even need seven games.
Contradicting huh. So was GS the better team or not?
LeBron is better than the myth of Jordan.
In 93 Finals Jordan averaged 41 a game and led all players in steals. He was 4th in rebounds, 3rd in assists, and 8th on blocks. Thats his best Finals but aside from scoring he didnt dominate anything else. He was no LeBron.

No they werent but they were heavily favored by a wide margin. People who picked Cleveland racked up.
He wasn't down 1-3, and didn't need a game seven. Why was LeBron in that position? You said great teams win game sevens, do it can't be that GS was great, it else they would have won. That's your logic.LeBron is better than the myth of Jordan.

So why was LeBron down to a team that's not great, and why did he need seven games?
Bron led all categories all series. And I said great teams have gone to Game 7s.
Jordan was a great scorer but aside from that he was ok at everything else. He had teammates who were better rebounders, passers, 3pt shooters, and defenders. He wasnt LeBron and never will be. And thats ok. But a scorer can never be seen as greater than a multi dimensional threat.
I don't know how a defending champion that won 73 games can be overrated. A lot of cognitive dissonance going on here. With Love playing like ass, it was going to take a nearly perfect series from Lebron and then some help to pull it off. Lebron goes on to lead both teams in scoring, rebounding, assists, steals, and blocks.
Even if you look at the game 7 calls from the "experts", like 80 percent of the analysts had the Warriors winning.
Shit... I picked the Cavs in 6 because I didn't think they would beat the Warriors at home in a game 7.
Didnt say they werent great said the better team won.
Is that what argument us reduced to? Misquoting me and strawman?
Told yall the Jordan myths are weak.
The same people that arw talking shit will look at a Kobe and laud his killer instinct while ignoring him fucking up a Finals by not passing to a three times finals MVP.
Ignore fucking up a 3-1 series lead with a key player suspended for a game on the opposing team , and then refusing to shoot because teammates wanted to get involved.
The same people calling Bron weak will ignore Kobe destroying a storied franchise playoff hopes by taking a max salary, turning off free agents that wanted to play there, and to top it off, barely played the last three seasons.
These people claim to love basketball but the truth is they seem to lack independent thinking.
If Golden State would have won, I would have congratulated them for coming back from 3-1 vs the Thunder, 73-9, and capping that off in an all time classic Finals 7 game series.
I like the year that Steph and the Warriors had. It's great for basketball.
I would be highly disappointed for LeBron. Basketball aside, he is truthfully a good guy.
The hate I see for a good dude is astonishing to me.
Let Lebron be accused of rape, refuse to shoot, chase an all time great player off the team then publicly demand a trade after he fucked up the team, have a Hall of Fame coach write a book about how fucked up of a person he is, and sue his mother over money. Lebron would have to move out the country.
It's amazing to me some of the shit I'm reading here but then it really isn't
It's like the logic of following a religion that slavemasters gave to the slaves.
Waaaaa?????????
TimRock thinks Kobe is still better than Bron.
Dude if Draymond tried that shit he was getting away with on the Pistons you would have seen a Detroit Piston leave the game in handcuffs.The Bad Boys Pistons team that the Bulls beat would have had this warrior team afraid to take the court.
Curry would have had to defend either Isaiah, Dumars, or Aguirre. And if he ever even looked like he wanted to go into the lane...
Rodman would have locked down Dramond completely.
Pistons in 5.
Hell, the Lakers team in 91 would have beaten this Warriors team. They may have beaten the Bulls that year if Worthy didn't get hurt.
The fans would take up a collection and bail that player out as well.
I know
Him and I have been having this discussion for about 8 years. Probably longer.
He won't give up that position even in the face of overwhelming proof.
That kind of loyalty is to be commended on some level.
I never even mentioned Kobe? Why would I? This was about Jordan and LeBron, right?
Youtube Kobe's Game 7 performance in the 2010 Finals. Doesnt compare to Brons this year or in 2013. Kobes career high in the Finals is 40. Bron dropped 41 back to back games this series. Kobe never posted a triple double in the Finals either.
I never brought him up in this discussion. I'm not even going there. That'll be another 20 pages.
Upsets rarely happen in the NBA Finals. Tell me why it was never done before.
The proof you asked was already given. Its called accomplishments. These Warriors are defending Champs, won a record number of games this year. An 82 game sample size. Do you realize how long an NBA season is? All the core players are in their prime. It was down 3-1 against a VERY good team with two superstars and came all the way back. Heavy favorites heading into these finals. Actual favorites to win it all next year.
That's not proof. Proof is something that can't be disputed . All that you mentioned, doesn't PROVE GS could beat those other teams. Just admit it, there is no proof, you are just going off of stats and assumptions.
In my opinion, both GP and Stockton can get into Curry's head and have him play the same way he did this series. And I won't mention what Malone, Barkley and Kemp could do against them.
