Michael Jordan and LeBron James are undisputed top 2 players in NBA history and it's not even close.
MJ played only 11 full seasons in Chicago Bulls... But Peak MJ is easily by far & away the most dominant player in NBA history.
- After starting 0-3 in 90/91 season, MJ never again lost 3 straight games during a stretch of 629 reg season &...
They will have completed one of the most dominant seasons of all time. 64 win regular season, only 2 losses so far in the playoffs and a potential sweep in the finals.
78-20 overall currently.
Where do they rank of the last 20 years?
Can I make the argument they're the second best TEAM behind the 2017 Durant Warriors?
Could the Unicorn get it? Prior to the series I'd have said Tatum would be a lock if Boston wins it all, but his 6-22 tonight (18 pts) & 6-16 game 1 (16 pts) aren't that impressive. 17 pts per game average on 12 for 38 or 31.6% from the floor.
Who does everyone have so far for FMVP? Could this be the first year they give it to a player on...
Playoff:
2008 vs Cavs 32.8 FG% 16.7 3Pt%
2009 vs Orlando 34.4 FG% 19 3pt%
2010 vs Lakers (minus game 2) 31.4 FG% 13.3 3pt%
How are you one of the greatest shooter ever but can just suddenly go cold like this for a whole series multiple times with a great team. :lol
Ainge sent the haul that gave the Celtics the picks to draft Brown and Tatum.
Brad acquired the pieces to help solidify this team, including getting rid of Smart, which many Celtics fans disagreed with at the time.
Lots of credit can go both ways. Who do you think deserves more credit?

Trump confirms he holds his supporters in great disdain, but they are still willing to die of heat stroke for the Dear Leader.
5/27/204 = Bill Walton, 71, legendary UCLA and NBA star and broadcaster, has died
6/10/2024 = Pistol Pete Maravich’s son Josh, former LSU player, dead at 42
6/12/2024 = Jerry West, NBA legend, dies at age 86
These deaths are not by accident. It's a message from God to let Dallas win championship or suffer consequences. Remember God killed...
I actually understand where rrr3 is coming from with that. Nothing to laugh at. If you could would you elaborate more on it rrr3?
For me not bowing down to the Antichrist has caused me so much pain and suffering. From being 24/7 mind controlled by satan to just getting harassed by people that are followers of the man of sin. I rather get be...
I think Boston’s bringin the whole band back, no? I guess depending on whether Horford decides to retire on top or not.
Theyre gonna be overwhelming favs to come out of the East again assuming they stay mostly healthy. Who do you see with even a chance of dethroning them at this point?
Might as well get this thread up early.
2024 Boston:
- 64-18 in the regular season; 10.74 SRS; +11.6 Net Rtg
- 15-2 in the playoffs *one more win to go*
- 79-20 combined record (79.8% W/L)
2008 Boston:
- 66-16 in the regular season; 9.3 SRS; +11.2 Net Rtg
- 16-10 in the playoffs
They offered six years 70 million and he said “**** it, if you havent given LeKing a decent supporting cast in 5 years you never will. Im staying at Uconn”
It’s time for Bron too to say **** you to AD and Pelinka’s “war room”, and go find a worthy organization to take his talents to.
because the "heliocentric", aka "down-hill" or ball-dominant skillset freezes out teammates... so even though this guy is getting 50/20/20, teammates still have to get 50-90 points to win the game, and they simply can't against the best teams with that brand of ball
So the 50/20/20 player would have a lottery record on the championship level...
he has ball spilling out more often than not.........especially driving to the basket.....guy looks out of control.
"scoop" lay-up....another huge problem! He just cannot finish around the rim "softy"....scoop shot will always have more english....more power.....if it doesn't find the center of rim....it can spill out....and its happening more...
I realize this will go over like a lead balloon with some but the fMVP is a meaningless award. Jason Kidd would rather lose the series by doubling Tatum than let Tatum score. He's confident in the approach because it worked well against the Wolves where there was no one who could create on the Wolves except for ANT.
It's not working against...
since 3-pointer basketball began in 1980.
So brands that lose on the Finals level (losing brands) don't make the Finals a bunch of times, except Lebron-ball because of the manufactured path to the Finals - aka the "decision" to put the top 3 players in the conference on 1 team.
How hilarious would that be if the Lakers signed Ham to a new deal to coach them after Hurley said no, and they just completely publicly ignored the fact Ham just was the coach and got fired two months ago.
Just introduced him like he was brand new and announced how excited they are to welcome Darvin Ham as coach of the Lakers.
...
Could you imagine the implications if this were actually allowed? LeBron, age 15 holding his own against guys like 38 year old MJ, Artest etc just like the pickup games. :biggums:
I doubt he would dominate MJ btw. But if he could legit just hold his own. Hold MJ to an average of 20 points or whatever when they match up, get himself some...
