    I produce smarter thoughts, live in a much nicer place, get to work out 6 days a week, have a nicer looking body, and wealthier than you are. Plus LeBron > Jordan and the Spurs will be a garbage franchise for the next 2 decades.

    You shouldn’t put LeCheat in the same sentence as Jordan. That would be reserved for legends such as Babe Ruth, Muhammad Ali and Tiger Woods

    It was a weird scenario.

    Nobody watched the 2020 Finals. It has the lowest ratings in league history.

    Sunday’s Lakers-Heat NBA Finals Game 3 averaged a 3.1 rating and 5.94 million viewers, marking the lowest rated and least-watched NBA Finals game on record. The previous low was set two nights earlier by Game 2, which averaged a 3.6 and 6.61 million. The low before that was set by last Wednesday’s Game 1, which as previously reported drew a 4.1 and 7.41 million.

    LeBron surpassed Jordan already bro.


    What year 20 Jordan was doing? Why wasn't his body able to last that long NBA wise?

    As in the other thread, one could argue whether the two seasons being three years apart are related or not. That's fine. But what I find more interesting is, this year is actually more anomalous and "flukish" than the bubble. In 2020 the Lakers were the #1 seed and the Nuggets were the #3 seed. There is absolutely nothing shocking on paper about those two seeds meeting in the Conference Finals. In the ECF that year, you had the #s 3 and 5 seeds meeting. It was not particularly shocking that the Celtics as a 3 seed made the conference finals, maybe the #5 seed, Heat, somewhat.

    But could you imagine if the circumstances of this season (2023) had played out in the bubble? Both the Lakers and the Heat were play in teams at the bottom of their respective conferences barely getting in as 7 and 8 seeds. There would have been more fluke and asterisk talk if that were the case in the 2020 bubble. Again, as far as the Conference Finals go, this season is stranger than the bubble. Just based on seeding, the bubble was more normal.

    Only absolute trash losers bring up the virgin insult. The cringiest losers I knew in high school and college were using it as insults and now they hate their lives. Same with Spurs m8, he's miserable.
