Magic's Lakers vs Lebron's Heat

[Marchesk]

eBron on Magic as they always put him on the other team's best player and he'd shut him down like he shuts down everyone else.!

Like he shut down Duncan, Dirk, Terry, Durant ... those dudes? And no, Durant wasn't shut down. Check the stats.

And who says Magic was the best player on that team? Depends on which Lakers squad. Early 80s Kareem would eat the Heat alive.

[Marchesk]

LeBron's Heat would run them out of the gym easily. 80s Lakers are very good but tend to get overrated by many.

And what are the Heat doing to slow Kareem down? LOL, the Heat aren't built to stop great centers. They make decent ones look great. Take any great centers the past 30 years, and they would just light up Miami.

The thought of Kareem, Shaq or Hakeem just destroying that Heat front line - they'd have to change the rules or something.

needed ... and Chris Bosh to bail his scared ass out in the 2013 Finals.

So now CB4, who scored ZERO POINTS IN GAME 7, bailed out LeBron who singlehandedly took OVER the game at the start of the 4th to bring the Heat from down 10 to up two with both Wade and Bosh on the bench is getting bailed out by guys who weren't even in the game when it actually shifted.

This is new.

Definitely Lakers but it will not be because of Magic. It will be because of Kareem.

Oh, you forgot about his Game 6 heroics, didn't you?

Parker, not Duncan. And bringing up Dirk and Duncan is irrelevant since Magic does not have the size advantage that those two do. He'd get smothered by LeBron. Too slow, unathletic and weak to take on LeBron.

You and others seem to be under the misconception that Magic was better than LeBron and some sort of clutch freak.

Remind me, is it "Tragic" Johnson who has the highest elimination game playoff PPG in NBA history? Was he the one who dropped 37/12 in a Game 7 Finals? Does he dominate every facet of the game on both ends? Didn't think so champ.

[Lakers2877]

Anybody who thinks this Heat team would beat the 85 or 87 Lakers can't be over 20 years old and they wear Lebron James underoos

Such an absurdly silly question

[Lakers2877]

Lol at Lebron James, or anybody for that matter " shutting down " Magic Johnson

You're embarrassing yourself with comments like that

No, magic didn't drop 37-12 in game 7 of the finals 8-9 seasons into his career

He only moved to center in game 6 his rookie year with KAJ hurt and back in LA and put up 42-15-7 in the clinching game 6. Once again, that was when he was a 20 year old rookie

Do yourself and stay out of the adult conversations

I knew you'd bring up that one game. Too predictable. And again I say so what? LeBron has SEVERAL playoff games as good as or better that one from Magic. His entire playoff run from '09 is light years beyond anything Magic did. And his best playoff games are better than Magic's best too.

PickernRoller on a suicide watch

Heat win this on matchups. James and Wade can easily run with Magic, but they can also slow the game down and spread the floor with three point shooters. The Heat are also much better defensive team.

Kareem would dominate Bosh, but with finesse, not physicality like Hibbert who has 60 pounds on both of them. Old Kareem may rain sky hooks on Bosh all day, but he is not going to reduce his rebounding to 4 per game.
