    This Finals LOSS will not be on LBJ

    When LBJ won two rings in Miami, people credit Wade and Bosh

    Now that LBJ is back in the finals, guys are already saying that Irving and Love are carrying Lebron

    It's a team game and there is nor has there ever been a better team than this GSW team

    The league in 1995-96 was a joke outside of the Magic Bulls and Spurs. Honestly, this was the case for most of Jordans championships, yet somehow he gets credit for carrying Pippen, and Phil coaching isn't even mentioned. LBJ might have the worst coach in the history of the NBA. Jordan never had to win anything without Pippen or Jackson.

    NBA is tougher today all the way around

    LB, many of those guys didn't play of great teams nor did they have another superstar, the exceptions being the Jazz and Supersonics



    LBJ has beaten in the finals KD, Westbrook, Harden, Duncan, Ginobli, Parker and Popovich

    Those were two great teams

    Ewings Knicks weren't great
    Millers Pacers not great
    Lakers only had Magic for a while
    Drexler had nobody
    Pistons had a good backcourt but Laimbeer sucked, he was just rough
    Barkley never played on a great teamother than the dreamteam

    And Jordan had Pippen

    Barkley's Suns team that the Bulls beat in the finals would beat this cavs team. Cavs wouldn't get out of the east if they had to face the bad Boyz pistons teams. You're kidding yourself if you think the NBA is better today than the 90s.

    Not sure if kraken is serious.

    Clyde drexler was considered the 2nd best player in the nba when that finals was played. He was in his 2nd nba finals and had the misfortune of meeting the powerhouse pistons and bulls.

    Everyone thinks the old school was better, especially if you grew up in that era and idolized those players. The NBA overall is now a better product.

    Don't fool yourself into thinking Barkleys Suns would beat this Cle team a 7 game series, I think this Cavs team would be -200
