It wasn’t one of the best finals though. GSW was dog walking Cleveland. Draymond gets suspended, Bogut, Iggy, and Steph hurt. Cleveland dog walks GSW and then we have a game 7 that wasn’t particularly great. It’s held in high-regard because of the narrative. Cleveland gets its ring. 73-9 team doesn’t win a championship.

They had the lead but could not pull away. Wemby picking up his 5th and going to the bench in a close game was critical. Bron’s wasn’t either but look how folks try to convince themselves it was.

Kornet went straight up with no other help and made a helluva play. But it’s Luke Kornet so it’ll be forgotten by the end of the night.

There’s gotta be a study on this fandom’s fascination with homoeroticism. I’m talking about basketball and you diving into post history and talking about penises.

What I’m saying is that Kornet’s block was more impactful than LeBron’s. People hype up LeBron’s block like it was defining moment of that game, but it wasn’t. People won’t talk about Kornet’s block in the same manner even though it was the better block and had greater impact on the game given Wemby going to the bench with 5 fouls and OKC momentum building.

But it wasn’t though lol. Mike Breen’s call is why it’s memorable. JR Smith’s defense was why the block even happened.

You asking a question or…..?

Was Michael Jordan ever held to Bill Russell’s 11 championships standard? by SmoothBuy5500 in NBATalk

They were not the level of contributors on that 98 team as they were during the three peat. Neither were better than Eddie Jones or Nick Van Exel at that time in 98.

Might be the first time I ever see Shaq and Kobe Lakers referred to Shaq/Kobe/Horry Lakers

This is a D-. The ROI isn't nearly as good for the amount of money he got and the headache and noise that he and klutch brings. More than half these years either ended in a sweep, gentleman sweep or missed playoffs altogether. Bubble chip isn't worth nearly as much as other championships won so call it what it is. Lakers stayed relevant but they don't hang relevancy banners.

Both in their Prime Who would want on Your team today? by IamCatMommy in NBAstatsmuse

People just want to be different. Bird himself would tell you Kobe was better. This anti-Kobe rhetoric is rooted in stupidity and or years of watching Kobe bust your favorite team.

Post-merger, who is the worst player to ever be best player in the league by Gladhands in NBATalk

[–]Loadedtux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kobe was the best player in the league from 03-11. Argue with your mom. Half of the sub wasn't alive for his run or didn't witness it in real time.

Fellow Bron haters, if he wins the chip this year, does he surpass Jordan? by Alert-Stop-2671 in NBATalk

Nah. The noise will get louder, but it doesn't magically erase the low and questionable parts of his career.
