Lebron will probably win 4 or 5 titles?  Wait till he does it before saying it.  Otherwise it means nothing.  Just goes to prove how clueless you are when you say you'd take 4 or 5 rings over 6 ring.


Wow Jordan! You say wait for LBJ to win the titles but in a previous response you said Jordan would have gotten another title if he didn't leave to play baseball!

Can't have your cake and eat it to. Sorry!

What do you think of these props that my book is offering:

GSW wins game 1 and Curry over 32 points at +200
GSW wins game 1 and Curry over 32 points at +200
GSW wins game 1 and Klay over 27 points at +250



Too much risk. It's hard enough just to cover.

6 rings.  All with one team.

PAPA SHINGLES, you stay in your basement boy, let the big boys discuss big boy things.

You're right he does have his work cut out for him.

His competition plays at a higher level.

MJ quit the sport twice.  He was able to rest and recover for two years after the first time he QUIT.  LeBron has never quit the sport, every single move has been scrutinized over his entire career.  MJ would not have won 6 rings in today's world.  No fuckking chance.


And please tell us your previous 20 aliases.  Would love to know.  You are the epitome of a horrible poster on this site.  Make 20 aliases, troll and be angry in every post you make, think you know everything about sports.  Just typical.

"Durant is soft and is trash."  

This sentence makes anything you ever say on this forum completely invalid.  You are a moron, plain and simple.

Go back and sit on your porch, old man.  


Say what you want bud but "you line em up for Jordan....he knocked them ALL down". As for resume? You are meaning to tell me lebron's "RESUME" is better than Jordan's? Really? It isnt now nor will it touch jordans unless he wins 6 RINGS. Since when do we get participation trophies for being runner up 4 times?! Who didn't Jordan DOMINATE in that era....the greatest era this game has ever seen? 100% in the finals and you want to talk about lebron making it to the finals 7 straight times? Who did lebron go through in those 7 appearances? The celtics a few years? It would hold more weight if he had a better finals record but it doesn't. Jordan went through the knicks and the pistons almost every year buddy. They wrote a d@mn book on how TO TRY and stop him. He beat magic, malone and stockton twice, barkley and clyde. Hall of famers just like lebron  has.This was at a time where you had to EARN your free throws and there were no bs flagrant replays of breathing on a player too hard. Lastly, jordan built his persona and his legacy from the ground up. Lebron.....not even close. The keys were handed to this guy IMMEDIATELY because the league was desperate for the next coming. And as for "quitting" the league, you could bet your a $$ hed a gone to the finals those two years and probably would have at least one more ring. So 8 rings in a row with 8 finals in a row? Please! You want to side with lebrons resume.....?All respect but that is nonsense. 

As for durant and Malone, neither has won a ring. Until one does, not much to talk about.

All of this is just dribble.  And I never said LeBron's resume is better than Jordan's.  Not once.  LeBron still is in his prime, arguably playing as good as he ever has.  

Also, don't give me what ifs with MJ.  He QUIT after the first 3 rings.  Nobody knows what would've happened if he kept putting miles on during the next two seasons.  Maybe he would've won another 1 or two in those, but then maybe he wouldn't have won another 3 after.  Ridiculous to say he would've just won 8 titles in a row.  He also got the gift of Rodman for rings 4-6.  

And as for competition, MJ's finals competition was nowhere near what LeBron has had to face except for the Mavs loss.  The Spurs teams and these Warriors teams were miles better than any team MJ ever faced in the Finals.  

And why is it that we can't talk about players unless they win a ring?  Do you realize how dumb that sounds?

Watered down league?  Nonsense.  The league is miles better today then during the 90s.  Players actually take care of themselves and are way better athletes.  

And please tell me why every single person that talks about MJ's resume doesn't add in the fact that he didn't make the Finals 10 seasons of his career.  He is 6 for 16, not 6 for 6.  Sorry to break it to you.  LeBron has a bunch of years left and has already made 8 Finals and 3 rings.  MJ only had 3 rings by age 32 as well.  

By your logic, you think 6 for 6 in Finals would be better than 6 for 10, which is utterly retarded.  



Why can't people get it through their heads that MJ was not perfect?  He was 6 for 16, not 6 for 6.

Lebron needs to beat this Warriors team this season when both teams are healthy to have any hope of even being in the argument as Jordan.

I respect Lebron's game but he's no Jordan.

Yes rings matter.  That's ALL that matters.  Why do you think Lebron keeps forming these superteams?  Why do you think your boy Durant swallowed his pride and dignity and ditched Westbrook and already a legit contender Thunder team to piggy back off Warriors.  I'd have more respect for him if he went down fighting against the best like Ewing and them.

"That one year."  You mean last year?  Now we know you don't actually watch basketball.  Got it.  Showed your true colors in this post.

And LeBron went to Miami because he wasn't gifted someone like Scottie Pippen to be his +1.  

I am by no means a LeBron love, but to blindly not get his greatness is just ridiculous.

But, we know now you don't actually watch basketball, so it all makes sense.

LeBron leaves the Cavs and the Cavs are one of the worst teams in the NBA and get the #1 pick in NBA draft.


MJ QUITS the Bulls and they get to game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals.


MJ lovers have nothing to say about that.  Ever.

It's hard to read when you can't type a complete sentence or use punctuation.  Do you not have periods on your keyboard?  You are asking me to try to read, but you can't spell correctly.  Isn't there irony in that?  

And 6 for 6 is great and the media has pushed that narrative that he has been perfect for 20 years, but he was not perfect because perfect would have been 16 for 16.  He is 6 for 16, not 6 for 6.  

I'll never understand why people would believe 6 for 6 would potentially be better than if LeBron went 6 for 10.  Makes 0 sense to me.

Started a thread about it in MMA forum.  Shevchenko will be my biggest MMA wager of 2017 so far.  LOVE her in that fight.  She is a 5 round killer.  Unless she gets KO'd which I don't see happening, she will win.  Watched their previous fight like 5 times and if that was 5 rounds, no doubt Shevchenko would have won.

Nothing you can say about that either.

Lebron couldn't do crap without forming his superteams.  Hell, Wade alone was a beast, nevermind Bosh coming in.

Lebron made the finals with a WAYYYYYYY worse supporting cast than MJ had during his 1st win.  


And MJ had no supporting cast.  He had fuckking Scottie Pippen?
  

Lebron got to the finals when his 2nd and 3rd best players were Drew Gooden and Boobie Gibson.  But, again you haven't watched basketball since Jordan retired, so you wouldn't know these things.

Durant could've beefed up, dominated more inside as well as shooting well and helped win the Thunder a championship but no he's content staying soft and thin and shooting 3 point jumpers from way off and choking in a key game when they were up 3-1 on Goldenstate.  Then he proceeds to leave the Thunder (even though they were good enough to be up 3-1 on the Warriors) the very next season for that same Warriors team!

That's the kind of guys that you defend. lol

To top it off Durant has the audacity to say ''fans don't have to watch if they don't like it''  Man the fans made guys like him and gave him the life he has and the fans should be all that matters and never should a comment like that be made no matter the context.

You need a tissue, you little bitchh?  Calling Durant soft and then getting butt hurt about Duran't comment.  Pretty ironic.  

Durant is tougher than you will ever be in your life.  Came from poverty in Baltimore to make 100s of millions.  

And saying Durant choked in game 5 last year.  He only had 40 pts and was 13 for 13 from the FT line.  He then proceeded to have 29 in game 6 and 27 in game 7.  Durant did not choke, Warriors won that series.  Klay won the series hitting 11 3s in game 6.

But, again, I wouldn't expect you to know these things because you haven't watched the NBA since 1998.

Anyone that has viewed your posts realize you don't watch basketball.  It's apparent.  Maybe you watched in the 90s with MJ, but no chance you watch the current product when you didn't even know the Cavs beat the Warriors last year.


And yes, if you come from the ghetto and make something of yourself without a father, you are tough, boy.



Pippen was in his 3rd year when Bulls won the Finals, guarded and locked down Magic (NOT MJ). Pippen led the Bulls in assists and was 2nd in pts, reb, and steals.  

In game 5, when the Bulls clinched the championship in 1991...

Pippen had 32 Points and 13 rebounds.

Oh yeah in the playoffs...

Pippen averaged 21.6 pts, 8.9 reb, 5.8 assists, 2.5 steals in 17 games.

Don't fuckking tell me Jordan did it by himself.  That is a joke of a comment.  

You have embarrassed yourself in every post you have made and have been proven wrong each and every time.

We aren't gonna see eye to eye. That's ok. Not gonna go back and forth here. In my eyes, this isn't even a discussion but that's the beauty of sports. We all have opinions. Enjoy the finals.
