Funny you should mention that. Tay looked like he was worn out after the first two games. Would I take him first, would have to say no. Would tay be a great fit on clev team along side of lebron? I think he would be a great fit. But it dos'nt mean that I would not want tay on my team. He is still very good, imo, but ended up having a very bad series. Good luck to the cavs, they earned it.
beo.
I like your opinion, but nobody is better than Jabbar and Wilt. Nobody is better than Dr J. and nobody is better than bernard King! Nobody today of the same size could out rebound M. Malone or Barkley. Nobody was a better passing big man than Magic.
With todays health improvements these guys would have been even better!
Todays best players are Duncan? Wade? Lebron? A self centered Kobe? A self centered McGrady are you kidding me?
1 on 1 players of today will never be better than the great team players of yesterday. And being a team player does also make you better!
The league is so bad today that a 6 foot white guard won back to back MVP awards. And then a stiff 7 foot white jump shooting pus*y won it this year. What's going on here?
Don't let anybody tell you that todays players were better than Wilt and Jabbar. Or the great Dr J.! Nobody ever could jump like the Doctor and nobody has since! Bernard King was a good of a scorer as anybody today. He would take over games and nobody could stop him. He did it for season too, not just 1 game!
Oscar and Jerry West were as good as stave Nash ever thought of being. Those guys were 1 in a 100 year players. I watched these great players and nobody today plays this tough every night like these guys did!
Who would you draft?
An 18 year old Wilt = Or an 18 year old Duncan? or Shaq?
An 18 year old Magic = Or an 18 year old Nash? or Parker?
An 18 year old West = or an 18 year old Nash? Or Parker?
An 18 year old Kareem = Or Duncan?
An 18 year old Malone = Or an 18 year old Wallace? Or Stotlemyre?
Get the picture? Todays stars are NO DIFFERENT than the stars of 30 years ago.
Where am I wrong Royal man?

Now you sound like someone saying that Mike didn't make the shots that is why they didn't go anywhere... The greatest playoff performance of all time may have come in a loss and Michael had it.. Michael Jordan's Bulls, when they were bad, make the Cavs look like an All Star team... Jordan's teams were terrible and he took them to the playoffs every single season. Of course he lost to the Pistons his team was average and he made them a playoff contender every year ANd the EAST was a little stronger back then haha... and those Pistons make these Pistons look like chumps... Lebron missed the playoffs his first two seasons please don't forget that... Mike never did while a Bull...
He wouldn't have won 12 titles because he played in an Era of basketball in which those teams would dominate the teams of today IMO... But Mike always hit the big shot... You seem to forget he hit the game winner in the national title in college... He started then and never stopped... Hitting the big shot does no equal winning because if you can't get in the situation you can't win the game.
Also Michael Never struggled in the playoffs something else you are incorrect about... Ever... NEVER EVER did the kid struggle in crunch time... He was always a crunch time player... In that year... He averaged 29, 43, and 35 PPG in his first three playoff appearances... Far from struggling... He was a big time player from the start... So no he doesn't have to be a band wagon guy... He just understands that you can't always make the big shot if you aren't given the chance... He did everything he could his teams were fucking awful... much worse then Lebrons
Jordans team were much worst than Lebrons huh ?? , In Jordans championship teams to name a few players you may have heard of ..., He had Pippen ( top 50 all time ) Rodman ( led the league in rebounding 7 times ) and Steve Kerr ( Nbas ALLTIME leader in 3pt % ) ........... Damn I think Lebron would like to have some of the those luxurys as a back fault. Give him one of those advantages this year on his team , and Cavs win it all ... They still might , then everybodys gonna have to shut the fukk up and watch the parade ...
"What just transpired was something I felt was needed for the league, was needed for Cleveland, was needed for LeBron."
"Making 'The Leap' is where you do it every single night," Jordan said. "It's expected of you, and you do it. ... Not one game, not two games. It's consistent. Every defense comes in and they focus on you and you still impact the game. I think he's shown signs of that."

Which was exactly what I said... That was why I said 3-11 from the floor and like 7 TO's and making 14-19 foul shots in game 6 at home was an awful performance for him... He needs to do well every night because that is what the fans expect from great players... NIght in and night out you perform despite defenses and everything...
And I said Lebron was on his way but still not there.
You are wrong about all of it. The depth and talent level in the league today is at an all time high. Plus the more athletic and sophisticated defenses is what you are overlooking. If you don't understand, there is really nothing more I can say, other than you are wrong. And it isn't even debatable. Picking out guys like Parker against Magic is fucking stupid. There are about 10 point guards now that are on Parkers level. How many magic's were there? There are tons of players today better than magic would be in todays game of basketball.
You don't know much about the NBA. Lot more pick and rolls these day. Can you imagine Magic trying to guard parker or nash on the pick and roll. Yeah me neither. he would be exposed defensively for starters. Tons was just a point making statement. But there are a lot of players I would take over Magic to start a team. Yes he could take his guy down on the block, and get doubled just like the other guys I would take ahead of him.
I got news for you dipshit , Lebron would wrather take the win and score 10 pts , then take a loss an score 50 .... A win , an Advancement , moving on , is WORTH A MILLIONS TIMES MORE THAN GETTING GOOD STATS .... And I highly dont think any home fans sitting Cleveland in game 6 , where Cleveland won advancing to their first finals ever , were dissapointed because Lebron had a subpar game ... and funny when 20 pts , 14 Boards and 8 assists , becomes sub par ....
