Official NBA Thread

I dont think Lebron sucks. It is quite the opposite he is one of the best NBA players in the league, some will argue the best. The only problem is he seems to only choose when he wants to dominate a game. That is his flaw. His will to win. He never seems overly upset that he loses, just like last year in the finals he was complacent. He lacks the fire and drive of a winner which is what is ultimately robbing him of getting a championship. Or all that could be BS and the Thunder are just that good. I like to think its a combination of both.

first off, this thread is really cutting into my day! lol

Second, I look at the thunder and see they are thirsty. They have the fire and passion and need for the championship. Sadly my bulls didn't show that at all this postseason, even before the unspeakable happened. The thunder are thirsty. They are playing at the top of their if not higher, that proverbial 110%, and they are playing as a team. They seem unstoppable.

And lebron has always kinda douchey.

#'s don't mean much. Jordan average like 35 points a game, so what? numbers are good for sports center guys to talk about, numbers are good for awards and accolades (most blocks, most points, most 3's, etc). "King" titles do not belong to guys who can score a bunch or can win a lot of mvps, they belong to championship winners, until he wins he is a prince -simple as that. The team that wins the ship becomes the kings of the hill, and their best player becomes THE king (finals mvp).

Tonight was Good game by heat, even though they almost lost it. still anybody's series.

i didn't say "anything", i said "much" as a person who looks at numbers/data for a living I can say numbers can be manipulated to show certain things and they should be taken with a grain of salt. For example I can say my z has 1000 hp (it doesn't) bigger number than most if not all on this forum, but if I have stock suspension, with stock exhaust, with stock wheels and tires and stock tranny that 1000hp number "doesn't mean much"

LOL okay so then getting a ring shouldn't be weighed so much should it?? Or wait in this case it seems to be weighed so greatly.

I get your analogy, but you can't say that numbers dont mean anything or wait "much", without numbers you techincally have no game....lol...no scores, no stats, which basically means you don't have player profiles, their career records, etc when they retire. to say numbers don't matter much is like saying in a game of who can get to the quarter mile the fastest that the clock doesnt really matter.

Bad use of words....anyways for your previous statement I say he is the KING not becasuse of a title remember that an NBA title is a TEAM effort not a one man effort there is no I in team. Therefore, how else do you rate an indvdual player? Well by his numbers, plain and simple, right now I say he is the KING because no other player right now is putting up the kind of numbers he is right now....oh but numbers dont matter much, so what does then?? his hairline??
