Not even remotely close to bein the same.

Bron fans = Logic and facts
Kobe stans = Emotion and cliches

Not even in the same stratosphere


:laff: you got Bron fans talking that LeBron Shabazz X shyt and this guy talking about emotions :laff:

maybe if Bron PLAYED with emotion he would've guarded KD on that play in Game 3 and not showed up to the press conference in a cast:laff:

I'm a little drunk so I'm not gonna try to break down all of what you said. But I agree 100% and I wanna talk about 3 things real quick breh.

1. Do the Cavs really not practice?

2. You truly think CP3 would have helped lead them to a win over the Dubs in game 7? Breh...CP3 is one of my favorite players to watch but even I think he would have choked.

3. What do you think the Spurs team make up would be like if Bron was to go there? Gotta rid of that Pau contract..so who we getting rid of? What somewhat talented veteran can we get to come there for a discount for a chance to get a ring?

4. (I'm a liar) Do you think Kawhi could co-exhist with Bron?
:lupe:
1. I don't know either way. We have what IT said about his experience on the Cavs - he complained specifically about them not practicing - but its not like I've got access to their attendance records and shyt. :russ: What I do know is that the Rockets practiced their defense all through the regular season, in regular season games. They treated the regular season as practice for the playoffs, and for their eventual matchup with Golden State. We know that Lebron's Cavs don't care about the regular season off rip - their approach to the regular season is that its an annoyance they have to deal with, and the goal is to just get enough wins to make the playoffs. Recall all the talk about the Cavs "flipping the switch" and "taking things seriously" come playoff time - that's what that commentary was referring to. Of course, the problem is, if you really want to build an elite defense, you can't do that - you need to build those habits through the regular season in order to really be effective defensively come playoff time.

2. I really do think having CP3 in games 6 and 7 would have won the Rockets that series. Note all my focus on defense - Morey (GM of the Rockets) is a smart guy, he's aware of the offensive choking tendencies of his two star players (CP0 :pachaha:, Harden in the '17 playoffs:mjlol:) . But defense isn't really something you can choke on - only the hardest core basketball fans can identify a missed or late rotation. Having CP3 there to help quarterback the defense, especially late in games, was an absolutely crucial component of the Rockets' strategy to defeat the Warriors. Remember how low-scoring the games in that series were - there's a reason for that!

3. I need to get up on the Spurs' contract/payroll/luxury tax situation. But I assume that Lebron wouldn't go there without a firm commitment from Kawhi to stay in San Antonio. Beyond those two, because of how effective Pop's system & approach has proven itself to be, even standard Spurs-quality role players would probably be more than enough to win a championship. The Spurs have never depended on having more than 1 legitimate superstar to win championships - and with both Lebron and Kawhi on the squad, they'd have two.

4. This is a really good question. I don't really know what's going on with Kawhi - his behavior at the end of the season with the injury and all the drama around that seemed really out of character to me. Maybe he's changed, and really wants to be a "star" now, with all the associated personal privileges. I just don't know. What I do know is this - if anyone in the league can handle Lebron's ego, its Pop. If Pop isn't able to transform Lebron's approach to the game into Warriors-defeating, championship-winning basketball...I don't think anyone can - and in that case, its a wrap for Lebron at 3 chips.

In my opinion this golden state dynasty is as good as the shaq and kobe 3 peat lakers.
These guys are better as far as I’m concerned. Those lakers third leading scorer was Derek Fisher and he was getting 10-11 points per game. They also only reached the 60 win mark during the 1999-2000 season. These warriors have done it 3 times and broken the record for wins in a season. Hard to imagine a team that top heavy winning three in a row today.
