    Jordan's team won just two games less without him...

    Wonder how this clev team would do without Lebron?

    Post of the night, right here.

    Didn't the Bulls go to the conference finals the year Jordan went to play baseball?

    Lebron leaves town and his teams don't make the playoffs.

    Lost to knicks in game 7 in round 2.
    They had Phil jackson as coach. That counts for a bit.

    Wow! Telling.

    Lebron leaves Miami and the Heat go from 4 straight Finals to missing the Playoffs

    He goes to Cle and they go straight to the NBA Finals without their #2 and #3 stars

    He did it with a with a supporting cast of ex Knick players that can't even spell NBA and were part of the worst team in the East last year

    Gotta respect

    You're right, it was the second round.

    Do you know how Miami did this year without Lebron?

    Do you know how Cleveland did when he left town?

    This guy is a one-man wrecking crew.

    That Bulls team also gave us of one the greatest games ever:

    Fight, blowing a double digit lead in the fourth, pippen sits out the final play because its drawn up for Kukoc, Kukoc wins the game anyway. Imagine if a star player did some shit like that today...heads would explode.

    Sidenote: Year Curry won Sixth Man of the Year.

    Doesn't help when you have the worst luck with injuries a team has possibly had in NBA history, in particular with your 2 stars missing a combined 58 games.

    Did any player on Miami NOT miss double digit games this year?

    do u asshats realize he shot 11 for 35 and went to the charity stripe almost 20 times? Turned the ball over at crucial times and threw up five more bricks or do u just look at the final score? Do u realize this is about Curry playing awful and not some super human game Lebron is playing. This is why u gamblers lose over and over again. U listen to these talking heads appointed by the NBA and suck up everything they say. Ya really are pathetic. I bet most of u watch Fox News lol.

    If you listened to the talking heads you ended up putting as much as you could on GS last night and hadn't a thought about Cleveland at around 3-1. According to just about everyone on TV cavs were getting swept. LeBron may not have had his most efficient game but that just shows how good he is that their are people like you that find negatives in a monster triple double Stat line. When was the last finals he lad a legit bad game like mvp Curry? There is no way to be efficient when you are carrying a bunch of mediocre at best offensive players Ala Allen Iverson.

    L. James 39 16 11 3 11-34 3-6 14-18 3 1 1 50 76
    I'd say he did just fine last night minus shooting % which will continue to be down if the refs keep letting them play this physical.

    Because Dragic, Whiteside, and Deng didn't miss any games due to injury right?

    Plus which regardless, any team would struggle if their 2 best players missed a combined 58 games.

    I wouldn't say they'd struggle to win 15 but they probably would struggle to make the playoffs (w/ Kyrie obviously). The 2013/14 Cavs were still in the playoff hunt (granted an outside shot) with 6-7 games to go.

    Even putting James in the same sentence as Jordan is embarrassing. Jordan made his teammates better. LBJ hopes his teammates win the game.

    I haven't watched a single minute of the NBA finals this year but did see highlights and saw LBJ miss two shots in two games that would have won the game for his team. That is all I ever need to see from him. He is good - very very good. But Jordan > LBJ and its not even close.

    If you haven't watch this series then do us a favor: stifle yourself because your opinion is worthless. And I bet you didn't see Jordan play either.

    Fair enough on my opinion being worth less than others as I don't watch NBA much anymore.

    you can have your opinion on LBJ but Jordan won championships with supporting staff that he taught how to play the game. LBJ could never do that and that is why he had to leave cleveland.
    I wouldn't make that bet about me seeing Jordan play though - that would be a loser for you

    what? you're basing your opinion from espn highlights? why not watch the games? this is the first time in nba history where the games went b2b overtime in the finals.

    let's face the facts, jordan was a ball hog. lebron likes to distribute but in this series, he has to be somewhat of a ball hog since the cavs don't have enough scorers due to kyrie and love's injuries.

    when lebron wins 7 championships, he'll probably surpass jordan as being the greatest but to say he shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence is just ludicrous, especially when you haven't watched him play in the finals.

    Don't see how he can ever pass Jordan even with ten chips. I've seen enough of him, know what he can/can't do, will/won't do. He's just not and never will be better, watched him 12 years now.
