Your rants about bosh got me curious. Found a very good article about is HOF chances for those who want to read.




"Throughout his career, Chris Bosh been a good—occasionally very good—but never great basketball player."

Screenshot of the conclusion. This was written in december 2014. Didn't achieve anything since then. He retired this year due to his injury.

Ersan:


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.
Can you give one example or two of the 6'3 guys guarding M.J. If you had a clue about defense you would know that neither size nor height does a good defender make. Else guys like Tony Allen, Ben Wallace, Bruce Bowen, Gary Payton would not be regarded as elite defenders

Because fewer threes were taken back then. Its a shame I have to even explain this to you. Klay Thompson is already 9th all time in the playoffs. What does that tell you?

If Jordan played in this era where more people paid attention to FG percentage na sure 60-65% average. He would compete with Deandre Jordan and co for best FG percentage

Jordan was being guarded by players like Byron Scott and Jeff Hornacek...

Dan majerle was 6'7 but seriously?


These were finals match-ups BTW.

Payton did a good job.

Size DOES matter when defending though. Someone like Jordan against a smaller player? SMH

Because fewer threes were taken back then. Its a shame I have to even explain this to you. Klay Thompson is already 9th all time in the playoffs. What does that tell you?
I agree, It took a while for people to figure out the importance of the 3. Klay is one of the greatest 3 point shooters of all time. But Paxson and kerrs 3's still saved Jordan on many occasions.

If Jordan played in this era where more people paid attention to FG percentage na sure 60-65% average. He would compete with Deandre Jordan and co for best FG percentage

No he wouldn't. Big men don't shoot, they take lay ups and don't. That's why people mostly don't care about their FG Percentage.

No one cares about Deandres FG percentage.

Besides, he took a lot of shots good and bad. Can't have a good FG percentage with that.
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 11:45pm On Jun 10, 2017
Ersan:

Bosh is one of the most under appreciated superstars ever. As far as most predictions are concerned, Bosh isnt considered a sure thing.
When you show me a fact based argument maybe I would listen.

Ersan:

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.
Rodman that was wafting round the league 5 years removed from any form of title contention is who you are hyping like a megastar

Ersan:

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.
Kawhi was no star in 2014. Try another excuse
The Spurs didn't smell a Final in 6 years

Ersan:

The spurs won the title in 14 and a year after their top players werent the same. Same goes for the Lakers.
Because the Spurs were 40 years old. The Pistons lost to the Bulls the eventual Champions. Your examples are horrible fam

Ersan:

Exactly, kareem retired in 89 and magic was around 30. Magic never won a ring without kareem.

Ersan:

Exactly, the NBA was shaken, and disorganized. Jordan and his bullies took advantage.
This is Grade A nonsense. How do 4 teams disorganize a 29 team league? The Heat were the only expansion team M.J faced in the playoffs. Chale try another lie

Ersan:

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.
Typical millenial. In a season or two Steph Curry takes as many 3's as M.J would take in his entire career. Mere looking at that 32% that should tell you 3pt shooting was not M.J's forte.

E say I played myself. Lmao. Jesus Wept


Ersan:

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.
Yup a team with 4 core players over 30. And ended up handing him a gentleman's sweep the next year

Ersan:

Lebron has never been swept in the first round of playoffs, jordan was, twice.
M.J never lost a Final. Leflop lost 4

Ersan:

His finals losses, 07 single handedly carried a sh-t team to the finals against the mighty spurs
A.I, Jason Kidd took shittier teams to the Finals. Let us hear word

Ersan:

Stop arguing as if teams didn't run schemes focused to stop just Jordan. You never heard of Jordan Rules?

Ersan:
These were finals match-ups BTW.

Payton did a good job.

Size DOES matter when defending though. Someone like Jordan against a smaller player? SMH
Exactly. Against a 34 year old Jordan. Good defense is more of sound fundamentals than size. Ben Wallace could freaking guard SHAQ. Draymond, Rodman were undersized. Boyo I would give you 25 instances of guys slowing down a player 3 inches taller or more without breaking stride. Don't try me

Ersan:
I agree, It took a while for people to figure out the importance of the 3. Klay is one of the greatest 3 point shooters of all time. But Paxson and kerrs 3's still saved Jordan on many occasions.
Many occasions indeed. They didn't knock down as many big shots as Robert Horry

Ersan:

No he wouldn't. Big men don't shoot, they take lay ups and don't. That's why people mostly don't care about their FG Percentage.

No one cares about Deandres FG percentage.

Besides, he took a lot of shots good and bad. Can't have a good FG percentage with that.
Jordan. A shooting guard was making 55% FG in his prime in an era that people didn't care about FG%. Let that sink in

If Jordan was a great 3pt shooter he would win 8 rings and average 45pts per game

Rodman that was wafting round the league 5 years removed from any form of title contention is who you are hyping like a megastar
One of the greatest defender/rebounders of all time. Facts

Kawhi was no star in 2014. Try another excuse
The Spurs didn't smell a Final in 6 years
No he wasnt, special was the word i used. Currently the best two way player in the NBA. Would have given your warriors a worthy challenge if you didnt Zaza him.


Because the Spurs were 40 years old. The Pistons lost to the Bulls the eventual Champions. Your examples are horrible fam
Fact remains even analysts who believe jordan is goat know he dominated when there were no super teams, only his. He only beat the bad boys and lakers when they wilted. After his first title the lakers lost magic to completely destroy everything. Cake walk.




This is Grade A nonsense. How do 4 teams disorganize a 29 team league? The Heat were the only expansion team M.J faced in the playoffs. Chale try another lie
The quality of the league was diminished. Period


Typical millenial. In a season or two Steph Curry takes as many 3's as M.J would take in his entire career. Mere looking at that 32% that should tell you 3pt shooting was not M.J's forte.
How many times did 3's save Jordan then?

E say I played myself. Lmao. Jesus Wept
Of course he did, he was getting his ass whooped.



Yup a team with 4 core players over 30. And ended up handing him a gentleman's sweep the next year
LEGENDS.


M.J never lost a Final. Leflop lost 4
Playing against mop buckets and nail files. Flat track bully. Lebron was never swept in the first round. Is it better to lose in the first round than in the finals?

A.I, Jason Kidd took shittier teams to the Finals. Let us hear word
No they didnt.

Lol! at you thinking 03 nets without kidd were worse than 07 cavs without lebron.

This freak of nature didnt even need to go to college to learn like jordan and most greats did. Straight out of high school. Yet has the highest IQ of any other basketball player. Never played with a HOF coach yet he takes rookie coaches to finals.

The man who scouted jordan saw lebron in high school and said he never saw anything like him before.

Stop playing with the Einstein of basketball.

Jordan small fry, not just any other player. Thats a bad match up.


Many occasions indeed. They didn't knock down as many big shots as Robert Horry
Dont bring horry into this. Horry=Clutch.


Jordan. A shooting guard was making 55% FG in his prime in an era that people didn't care about FG%. Let that sink in

If Jordan was a great 3pt shooter he would win 8 rings and average 45pts per game
With the weak teams he was playing against i'm surprised he didnt win 8. If he learned to shoot 3s would mean others did too and would even things out, besides he was better off driving to the paint of shooting short range jumpers.

JORDAN=Goat

LEBRON= BILLY GOAT

You can call him leflop, hate him all you want. Bare fact is he is the greatest.

Lebeautiful!

Its good you know before you shout about Kerr and Paxson. They were the rolest of role players. Like Chalmers and Norris Cole, and it could be argued the latter had more impact

There are lots of good not great players there. If T-Mac, Yao Ming are there I can't take any analyst that omits Bosh from that list seriously

Ersan:

He was a 35 year old reject who joined a 3x champion. He owes M.J for revitalizing his career

Of course you didn't have divas like LeQueen calling up two of his draft mates to go and play for one team. The players genuinely hated each other back then. M.J was 10x scoring Champion and 5x MVP and his dominance spanned from 87-98. A time we had real rivalries

Ersan:

The quality of the league was diminished. Period
Busted. 4 teams cannot dilute a team of 29! Stop throwing words like a rookie. Who are the expansion teams M.J faced post season you are yarning country grammar

Malone, Stockton, Ewing, Barkley, Johnson, Drexler, Shaq, Hardaway, these are but a few that had the misfortune of entering the league same time as the G.O.A.T some ended with rings others were not so lucky

GOAT was 6-0. Nobody gives a shyt about first rounds. I don't keep tabs of such useless stats.

How many times did Brazil lose in the World Cup first round

Ersan:

Lol! at you thinking 03 nets without kidd were worse than 07 cavs without lebron.
Nets with Kerry Kittles, Richard Jefferson that sodomized the Pistons and Paul Pierce and Antoine Walker's Celtics two years straight? Lmao. Don't ever bring up 07 Cavs. I would show you worse teams that were dragged to the Finals

Yao mings case was because of his ethnicity and what he did for the game in china. The NBA and basketball is very popular in China because of him.


He was a 35 year old reject who joined a 3x champion. He owes M.J for revitalizing his career
Lol! MJ knew what he could bring to the table, thats why the bulls signed him. Not to help him revitalize his career out of the goodness of his heart.

Its a pity
Good that you see zaza for the dirty scum that he is.

Of course you didn't have divas like LeQueen calling up two of his draft mates to go and play for one team. The players genuinely hated each other back then. M.J was 10x scoring Champion and 5x MVP and his dominance spanned from 87-98. A time we had real rivalries
He didnt join the celtics, he joined his mates because of the celtics.

Talk about dominance, kareem dominated the game for two decades...



Busted. 4 teams cannot dilute a team of 29! Stop throwing words like a rookie. Who are the expansion teams M.J faced post season you are yarning country grammar
Their addition coincided with a general drop in quality of talent in the league.

How many times did Brazil lose in the World Cup first round
Lol! They didnt win cause of the dominance of showtime lakers, celtics and the bad boys. They were unlucky they were in a bad position when these teams collapsed and jordan was lucky he had a great team.


Nets with Kerry Kittles, Richard Jefferson that sodomized the Pistons and Paul Pierce and Antoine Walker's Celtics two years straight? Lmao. Don't ever bring up 07 Cavs. I would show you worse teams that were dragged to the Finals
Kittles used to be very good, jefferson was at one point the best at drawing a foul when attacking the paint.

Who did lebron have? Ilgauskas?


Yeah with Wade, Bosh and supporting cast that would start for some teams. And the highest payroll in league history
LOL! Wade didnt even play as well as kyrie is playing now. Mario chalmers was the next best player, hes currently a free agent.

Highest payroll doesnt mean strongest team, clippers blazers and grizzlies follow but their talent doesnt match their payroll now does it?

Mike miller played against OKC, ray allen did not. They played the same position so they cant even start at the same time. Where was mike miller against the Spurs? Just so you know that series ended 4-1. Dweeb!

Mike miller didnt hit a clutch series saving or winning 3. Ray allen shot the greatest clutch shot of all time.

Mike miller is not in the same boat as ray allen.

A40, Common man stop all these arguments it's getting out of hands. Between M. J and LeBron, there was never, there's never and there will never be any comparison. Like come on its like comparing day to night there's a stack difference between the two. LeBron's place is up there with the greats in the game but come on, comparing him with M. J? Don't make me laugh. Please guys just stop the argument already and let's enjoy a great final.

You are a joker. Lebron can't guard Centers, I can't even count how many times I have seen him run from Centers. Only one player in the league can guard all 5 positions. Draymond Green
i give up. You're just stu pid. plain stu pid. You are a very foolish person. If you had said kawhi can do that as well i'd agree but Draymond? Thats just daft. I agree hes the DPOY though.

Typical millenial. You didn't watch M.J, There is more to driving and scoring than running and dunking like a neandarthal
If its so easy everybody should do it. Can anyone in the NBA keep lebron from the rim? Thats what its about.


Where did you find the bogus and unofficial stats for M.J? No site can bring those stats up so comot for here with your bogus stats
grin i told you, you are a charlatan, you dont know anything. Stats are very easy to gather, i do my research or rather know people who do. see screenshot attached. Professional verified analyst.

So Ginobili would make HOF but Bosh won't? You must be sniffing arabic gum
You truly are a foool, you dont know who ginobli is individually. Plus was part of a dynasty, best players in a dynasty usually all end up in the HOF. The heat wasnt a dynasty, bosh wasnt as individually good as ginobli. just shuut up and stop saying nonsense okay? Jeez!

Lebron has blocked, guarded and dunked on 7 footers before. In case you didnt know small fry, KD is currently playing as a center sometimes for GSW.


No shyte Captain Obvious. I have to explain hyperbole to you as well?
you said lebron is about to have more losses than the goats wins did you not? Are you high? he already does, the goat is 3-4. Hes about to even it out.

Mike miller played against OKC, ray allen did not. They played the same position so they cant even start at the same time. Where was mike miller against the celtics. Just so you know that series ended 4-1. Dweeb!
You are a phool! Pay attention you God forsaken sodomite. Nobody was talking about who started where. The argument was about the depth of their shooting core Mike Miller is a SF, Allen a SG. Bilewu

Ersan:
Mike miller didnt hit a clutch series saving or winning 3. Ray allen shot the greatest clutch shot of all time.
He didn't have to. His 7 3's in normal time ensured it never came to that

Ersan:
Mike miller is not in the shame boat as ray allen.

You are dyslexic. Who is comparing them? Stop boxing your shadow

Ersan:

Irony of a larrior calling someone a bandwagoner smh. hold my d-ck!

What a butt-pirate wasteman. I would sever it with a chainsaw. Chichiman

Ersan:

You think the people that that tagged lebron GOAT are unaware of Jordans rings? You keep foolishly shooting yourself in the foot.
Only Lebtardious Fucktardious cretins like yourself keep comparing Leflop to the G.O.A.T

Ersan:

Kaji biri da wandon nan lol!

You've proven multiple times you dont know anything about basketball. You're a charlatan.
Ara ga agba ndi ara.

Mugu that claimed shortening the 3pt line aided Jordan not knowing Jordan was not even a 3pt shooter, Ozuo that didn't understand what superteam meant. Lmao! Phool that thought Magic had AIDS

A40, Common man stop all these arguments it's getting out of hands. Between M. J and LeBron, there was never, there's never and there will never be any comparison. Like come on its like comparing day to night there's a stack difference between the two. LeBron's place is up there with the greats in the game but come on, comparing him with M. J? Don't make me laugh. Please guys just stop the argument already and let's enjoy a great final.

MJ is not a deity. MJ is great. Lebron is a better basketball player than MJ. Period. People have evened out the flaws of Jordans legacy.

Apart from Analysts who agree, we have former players who played against MJ like isaiah thomas, Laimbeer and many others who agree. Even abdul jabbar believes he can surpass him. Only thing lebron needs now is more rings to cement his legacy (this is what stops some analysts from crowning him GOAT).


But like the round mound of rebound, Sir Charles says


It’s been a privilege and a pleasure to watch him. I wish people would stop — in all sports — comparing and trying to figure out who’s better than who. This kid, to me — I think it’s one of the greatest stories in sports. For this kid to come to the NBA at 18 years old, live up to the hype… I think it’s one of the most amazing stories in sports history. His story is remarkable to me.- Sir Charles


LEBRON IS GOAT.
