Rob Parker eviscerating Shannon Sharpe on LeBron

[egokiller]

Are people still going on about some loser that could only win 3 rings despite having teams so stacked that it resulted in 9 easy trips to the finals?

[aj1987]

Did Horry/Hondo change the game like Curry did?

I was more taking about Kobe, but yeah, I did expect you to cherry pick a player. How is LeBron barely 10 in his era? Not just that, you were strictly talking about rings and your idol is a horrid Finals performer who got carried to his rings.

Curry has 2 MVPs, one of them being unanimous and is the GOAT 3PT shooter and already has two championship runs at 28 ppg and another one at ~26 ppg, is 3 wins away from another ring while averaging 27 ppg for the Playoffs. Lebron averaged 26 ppg for 2 out of his 3 titles.

LeBron has 4 MVP's and 3 FMVP's. The only player not named Jordan to do it in the history of the sport.

Funny how you ignored rebounds, assists, and defensive impact. Let's also not forget that LeBron is the only player in the history of the sport to lead both teams in all five major categories.

Since we're taking about PPG, your idol averages 25 ppg on 50% TS for his career in the finals.

Steph draws more double teams than maybe anyone in NBA history.

They are sending 2-3 guys at Steph on every possession while they dared Lebron to shoot a wide open shot, it's not even close IMO.

Yeah, that's because if you double LeBron, he's going to kill you with his passing. Have you ever actually watched LeBron play? Also, Steph gets 2-3 defenders on him every single possession? Have you ever watched a single minute of basketball? Doubt it, considering you asinine arguments and the fact that you're arguing for ranking Steph over LeBron.

BTW, since 2015, Curry had 3 players, who are among the best defenders at their position. One of the GOAT shooters, and yet, they almost choked the '15 Finals to LeBron and bums. Choked a 3-1 lead, the next season and their 73 win team added the MVP, just to beat LeBron. Added another All-NBA Center last year.

That's the impact of LeBron.

Almost choked? They won 3 straight in convincing fashion with Curry dominating the series and he got robbed of a FMVP.

Did you watch the last Finals game? Curry was willing to give up the ball and let his teammates play 4 on 3 for the entire 4th quarter which led to everyone shooting wide open 3s.

Lebron doesn't need to get doubled on the perimeter because he's just not that great of a shooter(also only won titles when he had a great 2nd scorer in Wade/Irving) but he gets away with bulldozing to the rim for most of his points.

And Cousins has gone through two major injuries since he was last an all-NBA player and has been out since April.

Iguodala, Cousins & Green are left wide open from three because the defense would rather let them shoot those all game than give Steph one off the dribble.

And you can stop with the 73-win team nonsense. They gave up quite a few core players to sign Durant.

They were down 2-1 to a 50 something win team as a 67 win team. A team that was missing its #2 and #3. The Warriors with Green and Klay wouldn't make it past the first round, let alone make the finals.

Point out one game in which Curry was defended by 2-3 defenders every single possession. That's what you said.

Worked out amazing for the Spurs in Game 7 of the '13 Finals.

Wade wasn't a great scorer in either '12 or '13. In fact, he was pretty bad in '13.

Not everyone had a 35 ppg beast like Shaq in the finals. Even then, Brick needed refs to not call his elbows to get his points.

And Cousins has gone through two major injuries since he was last an all-NBA player and has been out since April.

He was one of the major reasons for the Warriors win in G3, dummy.

[QUOTE=ImKobe]Iguodala, Cousins & Green are left wide open from three because the defense would rather let them shoot those all game than give Steph one off the dribble.[quote]
And Iggy made the Raptors pay with his clutch 3. Also doesn't change the fact that Klay is All-Def, All-NBA, and the 2nd GOAT 3pt shooter, Green is a DPOY, and DMC is a legit big.

They replaced Barnes with KD.

Lebron lost 3 straight up 2 - 1 on a 62-win team to a 50-win Boston squad in 2010 ECSF

Didn't Lebron lose to a 50 something win team on a 66-win team in the ECF in 2009, with that 50 something win team missing it's all-star point guard?

Sounds a lot worse than any loss for Curry tbh.

Add 2011 to the mix with the 3 all-star Heat losing 3 straight after being up 2 - 1 on ancient Mavs and it's over.

Just thought I'd mention that a 73 win team swapped their worst performing starter with arguably the best player in the world. This is the move that is being criticized here.

They gave up both Barnes and Bogut

Can't call it adding someone to a 73-win team when they gave up two of their starting 5 responsible for that season.

Of course Durant makes them a better team, though now the narrative's gone from "KD joined a 73-win team" to "Warriors are better without KD".

Bogut was done. He played 50 games for 3 different teams before being bounced from the league.

[Patrick Chewing]

Anyone that can shut that retard Shannon Sharpe up gets respect from me.

[ImKobe]

Bogut was done. He played 50 games for 3 different teams before being bounced from the league.

Bounced? Or traded from the Mavs to the Cavs and suffered a season-ending injury one minute into the game?

Didn't he go to the NBL and win the MVP & DPOY before returning to GS? He had some nice games against the Clippers in these Playoffs.

Mo Williams was LeBron's second best player. When Brick had a similar squad, dude was either missing the PO's or getting humiliated in the first round.

Not just that, Brick also almost missed the PO's with Dwight, Nash, Artest, Gasol, and Jamison, but those dude's carried the bum to the PO's after he faked an injury.

Sounds a lot worse than any loss for Curry tbh.

Curry, on a 73 win team, blew a 3-1 lead against a 57 win team and recruited another MVP just to beat LeBron.

Add 2011 to the mix with the 3 all-star Heat losing 3 straight after being up 2 - 1 on ancient Mavs and it's over.

2011 was a straight up disaster. LeBron choked. Unlike you, I can admit it, retard.

You didn't need a strong cast to make the Finals in the 00's East - we saw AI, Dwight, Kidd and Lebron all make the Finals with weak casts from 01-09'

But Kobe needed a strong cast in the West - you couldn't make the Finals out West with Hedo Turkoglu or Zydrunas Illgauskas as 2nd option like you could out East

But even though a star cast wasn't needed make the Finals from the East, Lebron lost in 09/10 and stacked the deck from 11-18' to ensure Finals runs.. he colluded to put that super-team together, despite a conference that didn't require a star cast to make the Finals

In short, don't compare Lebron's Leastern conference with Kobe's West.. I would've thought Lebron's missed Playoffs would've shown you the light this year, but I guess old habits die hard

[aj1987]

Dad killer made the PO's with 30 wins. Dude couldn't make it past the first round without Pippen. What do you think about that, 0ball?

But Kobe needed a strong cast in the West - you couldn't make the Finals out West with Hedo Turkoglu or Zydrunas Illgauskas as 2nd option like you could out East

Dirk made it to the Finals with Terry, you autistic piece of shit.

But even though a star cast wasn't needed make the Finals from the East

It wasn't needed because it was LeBron James carrying the team.

Lebron lost in 09/10

Ordan was glorified statpadding loser without Pippen.

and stacked the deck from 11-18' to ensure Finals runs..

'11 - LeBron choked

'12 - Wade and Bosh injued

'13 - Wade and Bosh injued

'14 - Wade injured and a shit team

'15 - Kyrie and love injured

'17 - Ordan would've soiled himself going up against that team

'18 - Ordan would've soiled himself going up against that team

Again, imagine Pippen missing games ... Ordan would've quit basketball in '91.

he basically cheated/colluded to put that super-team together, despite a conference that didn't require a star cast to make the Finals

Again, Ordan was a first round scrub without Pippen. Proved his true worth in Washington after Pippen as well. Dude was a complete scrub, who got carried by Pippen to multiple rings.

In short, don't compare Lebron's Leastern conference with Kobe's West..

In short, don't compare dad killers horrific play outside Pippen to LeBron's. Dude would've been a lottery scrub in most eras.

Damn another meltdown....
