If Kobe or MJ got to iso every possession and not be doubled teamed, they'd average 50 ppg in these Finals.
Thank you. The fact that he's averaging 40 ppg is impressive but lets not ignore the fact that he's going against single coverage which would be wonderful if you didn't let Dirty D go off for 20. And come to think of it, I've never seen the supposed best player in the league go up against single coverage. It's really unheard of. I think it's time for the Warriors to try doubling. Or at least try something else.
JVG just said on the Michael Kay show that LeBron winning this series would be the single greatest achievement in the history of the NBA.
I don't know if it's LeBron specific, but it's definitely a F*** YOU to the Cavs who have cried and whined all series long.
There was one play where Livingston went by James on a drive. The latter decides to take a swipe and a push to the back... SMH. All the fatigue and minutes logged will have him celebrated with a pity party thrown in.
The GOAT with his usual impressive outside the paint shooting in the Finals performance : 17 out of 62 so far
When I heard this jacka** yelling at the camera man I assumed he was just some unhinged Cavs fan. Now it makes even more sense.
Easily the most idiotic thing JVG has ever said on air. I could give a list, but let's just start with Magic replacing an injured Kareem in the crucial game 6 of the Finals and dominating a MUCH stronger Sixers team with Dr. J, by playing center as a point guard for 42/15/7 and winning the Ship.
The look on James' face writhing on the floor... This from the strongest and physically imposing player at his position. James acted like a Euro soccer player. Come on! It's not like he took a flying knee to the side of the head, end up with a concussion, bleeding from the ear that required stitches, not cleared to return to the game, then throwing up twice on the road trying to get home.
And people wonder why we (many of us) hate the guy. I think, at this point, we should compile a list... (see Bron - we can do lists too) of all the juvenile, self-centered and self-promoting stuff he has done over the years. Simply to show the brain-washed. Eff that - I am starting All-Greats team now - LeBron is not on it. Not even as a sub.
My Cavs friends decided to have a bias (debate) today about who is better Jordan or Lebron. Some highlights..... "They're different players so it's hard to say. MJ won all his titles with another top 50 all time player on his team" "Jordan was a better scorer, but LBJ isn't far behind, and he's (LBJ) better at everything else" "This would easily be the most impressive championship either has won" "(Defensively), maybe MJ was better at guarding 1-3s, but not PF and C like LBJ" I refused to comment.
Norm Nixon making a lot of sense after tonight's game. I'm paraphrasing here. If Lebron goes 2 and 4 in the finals it doesn't hurt him as a player but it definitely hurts his legacy. It hurts him when he's trying to reach guys like Jordan and Kobe. Of course the media won't be that logical.
