Lebron's 2nd, 3rd, and 4th scoring options Mo Williams, Past His Prime Shaq, and Antawn Jamison.[/QUOTE]
and?
Shaq and Jamison were much better options thyen Bynum and odom...
Re: Durant is taking over like a superstar should.
The natural evolution of a thread on ISH....let one drag on past 2 or 3 pages, and it will always turn into a LeBron/Kobe thread.
Re: Durant is taking over like a superstar should.
[QUOTE=LBJ 23]I don't usually read your posts but I've read through this thread and cuz you're obsessed with Lebron let me tell you this....
Lebron was doing all this what Durant is doing right now, and much more in Cleveland with even weaker teams than OKC is right now without Westbrook. And you know what you and your kind of breed were saying? It's just ''empty stats'', ''Lebron ball'' etc,....
First one that comes to mind is that Magic series where he put up like 38-8-8, but his team lost the series and it was called ''empty stat padding''. Now, when Durant puts up crazy stats but his team loses we sing different song than we did with Lebron eh? We should respect this ''empty stats padding'' now with Durant right ripthekik? Even if his team lost?
I don't really think about Durant what I wrote above(of course we should respect him and he should get praise for the way he has been playing lately), I just want to show the double standards and hypocrisy by the retards like ripthekik when it comes to Lebron.[/QUOTE]
Word. :applause:

[QUOTE=Magic 32]Durant vs Grizz g1-2 = 35.5 pts, 13 reb, 7.5 ast.
Lebron vs Magic g1-2 = 42pts, 5 reb, 8 ast.
Durant is playing the better team. And after these 2 games, Lebron shot 42% for the rest of the series.[/QUOTE]
Pretty sure the 2009 Magic are better than the Grizzlies, they almost beat the most stacked team of the league that year in the finals.

Yeah, I don't know about that part. OKC, without Westbrook, is very comparable to LeBron's Cavs teams.

At the absolute best it's debatable. Orlando only won 3 more games that year than the Grizzlies this year, and the East was just as weak then as it is right now. Orlando was a 101.9 DRtg team and the Grizzlies are a 100.3 DRtg team. Orlando had the better defensive anchor, but Memphis has better perimeter and team defense in my opinion.

Lakers had 2 allstars....Cavs had 2 allstars.....

Yeah...cause it's that simple. Mo Williams = Pau Gasol.

Martin is better second option than Mo Wilimas and Ibaka as the best shotblocker in the league is way better as any big Lebron played with. Of course, not looking just at the last 2-3 games to evaluate Ibaka and Martin.
Re: Durant is taking over like a superstar should.
God this thread is awful. Your obsession with Lebron's legacy is ridiculous OP.
Re: Durant is taking over like a superstar should.
[QUOTE=LBJ 23]Martin is better second option than Mo Wilimas[/QUOTE]
No, he's not. Not at this point in his career.

Ibaka I'll give you, because he's not as bad as he's been playing the last few games. But I don't see how anyone can definitively say Kevin Martin is better than Mo Williams was in 2009 and 2010. And with Ibaka, he played really well off Westbrook. This is the first time in his you career he's having to play without Russ, someone who he's pretty reliant on to get him a lot of his easier shots, and it's showing.

he's a better scorer/shooter than Mo Williams, they both are pretty useless on defense....I'll take Kevin Martin

You're right, statistically-wise Mo was slightly better.

You do realize that Bynum averaged 6 points per game and 8 points per game in the playoffs during their b2b championship runs.
Not really what i'd call a scoring option

And Mo Williams was a better ball-handler, playmaker, and could somewhat create offense off the bounce.
