    With the loss last night, what is LBJ's record in NBA Finals now? 2-3? A fellow by the name of Jordan had a record of 6-0 in NBA Finals.

    Besides Miami's bench players not giving them anything in this series, Popovich badly out coached Spoelstra. If Pop had been the HC of Miami, IMO, LBJ would now have 4 rings instead of the 2 he has.

    Jesus Christ. I'm done with this conversation. It's like listening to a 6 year old.

    Your second paragraph countered your first one. Do you even have a point?

    And when was the last time Jordan played in the NBA

    Its quite obvious Lebron is the best player in the world right now

    The worst part is that I don't think he knows it.

    IMO best post Jordan

    1-Shaq. Limitations, but the best pure dominator since MJ

    2- Kobe. Shaq got the first 3 titles, but Kobe was a big part and proved he can do it without him. Best pure scorer since MJ

    3-TD. Pop is a great coach, but 5-1 in the finals and has dominated the post for a decade and a half

    4-Lebron. Best offensive skill set since Jordan retired. IMO he can a killer, but unlike Kobe, Shaq and MJ it doesnt come natural

    5-KG. Doesnt have the hardware as they guys above but outside of maybe Duncan, he is the best offensive/defensive player since MJ

    I think LeBron has easily the best all around skillset ever. He's the total package. But there's just something about his mentality that seems to hold him back. I do think he's the best player post-jordan, but without that killer instinct he'll never be recognized as the best ever. Guys with more rings and a more respected image will always bump him.

    Lebron was clearly the best player in the series. Deserved MVP over Kawhi.

    Yes he certainly does.

    Trolling? I think not. I've been here longer than you have, pal. To put it another way, you were Columbus, and I met you when you arrived.

    Great players play great in big games. LeCramp did not.

    no he doesnt IMO. the spurs are more a product of team play vs individaul play.

    he's not far behind but he is not on the individual level of lebron, kobe and shaq.

    I can't stand Duncan and the "Who, me"? look he has on his face when he gets called for a PF. And, the way he sometimes hangs on to the ball like a petulant child when he gets called for a PF.
