What was that whole Tragic Johnson thing?
[QUOTE=gengiskhan]LBJ wasnt busy riding SHAQ's DEEEK btw.
[B]Kobe 3 rings & Shaq's[/B]
[B]Shaq's 3 SOLID DOMINANT Fmvps & kobe NONE![/B]
Suck on dat!
Kobe's only SOLID fMVP is 2008.
rest are all GIFTS to kobe thanks to NBA's winningest coach & best BIG MEN playing for NBA's winningest franchise. all packed together as one unit.
Kobe is nothing more than Iversion if he hadn't been a laker.
Oh wait. Iversion win 3 x steals titles.
Kobe has NEVER been Top 3 in steals catagory every his whole career. show how overrated he is as a defender.[/QUOTE]
How many steal titles does Bron have? Overrated defender.
Kobe 10x all-NBA first team defense. 5 rings.
Lechoke abused by Jason Terry in the 2011 finals. No defense for the first 7 years of his career. Delonte West banged his Mom.
He's the reasons they are even in the game and he choked. LOL. Whatever kid.

I can say the something about LeBron. He's the reason they in the games. But if LeBron gets a turnover, misses a shot, or passes to a open team mate, then he gets blamed and ish crashes.

1984 NBA Finals.... Magic inexplicably dribbled out the clock when Game 2 was tied and the Lakers lost in overtime. He committed a costly turnover that sent Game 4 to overtime and missed two free throws that would've tied the score. Somehow, the Lakers still made it to Game 7...where Johnson lost the ball with just under a minute remaining and sealed a title for the Celtics...
But meh... All players in NBA history had their bad series, including the finals... even Michael Jordan... yes, in Finals... many bad shooting games in Finals with costly turnovers, low productive 4th quarters with "choked" shots which lost Bulls the game... on paper it was hard to see due to his shot jacking nature, MJ would always average 30 ppg no matter how bad he played because he would shoot like hell, he would never stop and facilitate instead or something, thats the huge difference between him and Magic/Lebron/Bird for example.. and something that he has incommon with the likes of Kobe/Carmelo/Iverson..

Pauk just called MJ Iverson and this is what you pick out of his paragraph?

Why did you copy/paste the Tragic Johnson thing?

Well, I was kind of meaning to imply everything after the part I bolded was kind of dumb.

Are you talking about the same MJ who AVERAGED 31 7 & 11 on 56% shooting IN THE 91 FINALS? :roll:
The main difference between MJ & Lebron in the finals is that MJ never looked like a deer in the headlights for an ENTIRE finals series while having the 2nd & 4th best player in the Finals on HIS TEAM
I've never seen a dumber poster on this forum, including ezboard. OP is a complete jackass.
Durant is carrying these scrubs like Lebron did in 2009
why is OP still not perma-banned?

0/3 in CLUTCH less than 3 mins left to win situation.
not just that.
Durant's refusal to come for the ball at top of the key against MEM's terrific D.
Requesting refs to bail you out cuz of playing terrific 11/21 FG offense the whole game is a sign of WHINING.
If LBJ choked in game 1, Durant CHOKED down the stretch in Game 2 (HINT: crucial game loosing turnover)
I'm just stating the obvious.
