A40:

Wade-Bosh-Lebron. That was the the team. 3 All-stars and HOFers, Miller and Allen two of the best 3 point shooters the league has seen, Rashad Lewis 2nd best player on a Magic team that got to the NBA Finals, Battier an elite defender. This is as solid a supporting cast one could have and your LeQueen still managed to bungle 2 Finals out of 4 and barely missed a 3rd one.

Yes. Who was the 2nd best player on the Bulls before Pippen broke into the team 88/89. I dare you to tell me his name without google. Rodman didn't come till after the first 3peat

Bosh as much as i love him isnt necessarily a hall of famer.

You keep calling old people like they actually made the team what it was.

Jordan had kerr and paxson as far as shooters go.

The only loss on lebrons head was the one against the mavericks.




The 91 Lakers, Detroit Pistons were what? A Superstory? Lmao try again
Jordan never got past the detroit bad boys in their prime.

You do know 91 was the year magic got aids right?



Tales by moonlight. Name one tangible thing the NBA did that showed the league was favored towards M.J. I'll wait
The expansion?
shortening the 3 point line?


Who are the 26 Hall of Famers Leflop faced? Then how many are on his own team? M.J spent his entire career in the tougher jungle that the East used to be in the days of yore with the Knicks, Celtics, Pistons, Magic, Bucks, Cavs, Pacers. Not your Leflop who is playing in the watered down East. This is why the G.O.A.T was 6-0 while your diva is staring down the 3-5 barrel
And then he skated through the expansion NBA towards the end, he couldnt beat any of those super teams in their prime.

Nwanne you better look face before attempting to feed this cool zobo. That Heat team had run its course and Pat Riley not bowing to Leflop and his possé made him run back to Cleveland. Good on him for winning them a chip with help from Kyrie. Still he got plenty of help at Miami from Wade his mentor and friend
Seems like lebron is the only GOAT not allowed to have team mates.

your post up there said he formed a superteam. You must not know the first team pippen played for was the bulls. Rodman didn't join till after the three peat.

I dont think i did, if i did it was a mistake. I simply said that they were a super superteam as well.
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 10:03pm On Jun 10, 2017
Nigga said Bosh is not an hall of famer, I swear A40, dead the reply abeg.

Magic doesn't have aids, he has hiv.

how many players on the bulls team can single handedly will a team to a win like kyrie did yesterday? Serve Kerr, pippen, or rodman?

Stop it, kyrie didnt "singlehandedly will the cavs to win". Lebron sat for a minute in the 4th and they gave away 2 3's. Lebron is +32 and Kyrie is +7, -7 without lebron.

And how about PIPPEN?

Bulls went from a 57 win team to a 55 win team when Jordan left. When lebron left cleveland they had the worst 3 year record in the history of the NBA and lost 22 in a row.

He didnt form a superteam but he had a super team. They were and still are by some touted as the greatest team of all time. Especially the 96 bulls with 72 wins.

Yesterday you started out really good, however, you are making a joke out of your self especially with this MJ super team you are spewing.

The 92 Bulls with 72 wins were not necessarily regarded as the best because of the quality of the roster but because of the toughness especially mental and physical.

Michael Jordan averaged 30.7 points in the post season

Scottie Pippen 16.9

Toni Kukoc 10.8

Ron Harper 8.8

Steve Kerr 6.8

Dennis Rodman 7.5

Do you know the Celtics, Lakers, Detroit, and Miami had players who doubled the numbers of these 96 Bulls?

Please stop before you dig your credibility further or better still change the focus of your argument.

Most handles (including our 1st lady) who post on this thread are quite knowledgeable about the history of this game, emotional tantrums don't sell here either. You have to back your comments with facts, not trumped conspiracy theories, else your credibility would be sold for pennies.

has Kyrie willed the cavs to wins before? How many players on Jordan team can do that? If scoring that much point and being that clutch isn't called willing your team to a W, I don't know what willing is. Maybe single handedly is far fetched yesterday, but he has willed his team's to wins in situations where LeBron cowered.

And in your naivety you think points mean everything yeah? In your naivety you thought the 90s is same as the 21st century yeah?


Pippen was a less effective version of lebron in that he passed.

Rodman is one of the best defenders and rebounders of all time.

Jordan was a well known ball hog who shot as many shots as possible.

You dont use career averages because they include the good the bad and the ugly.

Bulls with Jordan 57 wins

Bulls without Jordan 55 wins

Same mentality that cost us game 3 when he made that stu pid step back shot. he gets carried away sometimes.

He didn't have to this time around. Lebrons heroics, his three FTs and his 3 pointer won us the game. Without the block the score wouldnt be even for kyrie to make the shot.

I love uncle drew, but he didnt have to take the shot in game 3.

Why is Bosh not a Hall of Famer? He has the numbers, the All-star appearances and the rings so explain why he isn't one

Kindly tell us what was Rodman's age when he joined the 96 Bulls

Jordan had kerr and paxson as far as shooters go.
Kerr and his 4 ppg arse came after the first 3peat

He played horrible D vs the Spurs in 14. Kawhi barely 3 years in the league torched him

Nonsense. He beat them the year after they won a title. And sent them to the abyss

Ersan:

You do know 91 was the year magic got aids right?
HIV. And he was MVP the previous year. Nice try

Ersan:

The expansion?
shortening the 3 point line?
Lmao. Expansion teams are non factors. They typically don't make the playoffs and even at that players are picked from teams in the League. The teams M.J beat in the playoffs tell us how many were expansion teams

Nice Airball. M.J was not a 3pt shooter.


Ersan:

And then he skated through the expansion NBA towards the end, he couldnt beat any of those super teams in their prime.
Which superteam did Leflop beat in his prime? He lost to the Pistons, Celtics, even Dwight Howard's Orlando Magic. Even when he ran to Miami he beat a baby OKC team with 23 and 22 year olds. And a geriatric Spurs team by the grace of God. Goat my arse

Bosh is one of the most under appreciated superstars ever. As far as most predictions are concerned, Bosh isnt considered a sure thing.

Kindly tell us what was Rodman's age when he joined the 96 Bulls
Granted but rodman in his prime was one of the greatest defenders of all time. Such greatness doesnt fade away, the players you mentioned were just above average except for Ray allen.

Kerr and his 4 ppg arse came after the first 3peat


He played horrible D vs the Spurs in 14. Kawhi barely 3 years in the league torched him
Again, the spurs were a dynasty. Kawhi is a future MVP, special players dont really guard each other they torch each other. Lets not forget theyre managed by the greatest coach of all time.


Nonsense. He beat them the year after they won a title. And sent them to the abyss
The spurs won the title in 14 and a year after their top players werent the same. Same goes for the Lakers.


HIV. And he was MVP the previous year. Nice try
Exactly, kareem retired in 89 and magic was around 30. Magic never won a ring without kareem.


Lmao. Expansion teams are non factors. They typically don't make the playoffs and even at that players are picked from teams in the League. The teams M.J beat in the playoffs tell us how many were expansion teams
Exactly, the NBA was shaken, and disorganized. Jordan and his bullies took advantage.

Nice Airball. M.J was not a 3pt shooter.
Congrats you just played yourself, he had a career 3pt pct of .321, makes shooting easier for him and that was around the time kerr started saving his arse.


Which superteam did Leflop beat in his prime? He lost to the Pistons, Celtics, even Dwight Howard's Orlando Magic. Even when he ran to Miami he beat a baby OKC team with 23 and 22 year olds. And a geriatric Spurs team by the grace of God. Goat my arse
He beat the Spurs dynasty (Geriatric team that came out of the "superior west" and won the next year?)

And the greatest regular season team ever.

GOAT!

Lebron has never been swept in the first round of playoffs, jordan was, twice.


His finals losses, 07 single handedly carried a sh-t team to the finals against the mighty spurs

Granted he sucked against Dallas.

Lost to the mighty spurs again.

Lost to a 67 win warrior team without Kyrie and Love. Should have been MVP even after losing.

And still frequently made 55% or more in his prime. MJ was a Shooting Guard taking all those shots, facing those defences and still shot at that percentage. If all ball hogs were that efficient 'ball hog' would not be a thing

Jordan was 6'6 guarded mostly by players around 6'3 especially in the finals.

He was amazing within 20 feet, still a ball hog. How did lebron take take over a hundred fewer shots to beat his playoff points? Thats efficiency

Another famous in efficient ball hog and jordan wanna be that babies compare to the king, the black mamba.


Fun fact, kobe has missed more shots than any other player in NBA history.
