Lakers vs Nuggets: 6:30PM

Suns vs Warriors: 9PM

Both on TNT

I would, but his teams were that. If memory serves me correctly didn’t the Jordan Bulls have a 72 win season?

So your point is that MJ also had the most help in history then? I’d agree. It’s not a coincidence that he never won a thing until Pippen arrived.

Better passer? LeBron
Better rebounder? LeBron
Better 3 point shooter? LeBron

I'm not even a LeBron guy. I think they are both 1A and 1B but I don't get the eye test. LeBron blows him away at the eye test. It's the only reason really LeBron is in the conversation really. He makes up in the eye test. Jordan makes up in the results test.

He’s one of the most skilled players in the history of the game. The guy is still a top 10 player in the league at age 40 with diminished athleticism. It’s not a mystery as to why that is.

The Suns were 62-20
The Sonics were 64-18
The 96-97 Jazz were 64-18
The 97-98 Jazz were 62-20

Let's not act like the Bulls were just beating scrub teams in the Finals lol...

You can't do this if you're a LeBron fan lol...I mean the guys created and ushered in the "super team" era.

I'm not even a LeBron hater but come on...

Wasn’t Lebron on a team with 2-3 other HOF players? Wasn’t he also a heartbeat away from having only one ring from that super team? Jordan had Pippen and won 72 games. Lebron did less with more despite you vigorously trying to defend him.

Compared to the Warriors?

If you think LeBron created super teams in the NBA, you may want to do a brush up on your NBA history

On this day 11 years ago, superstars Chris Bosh & Ray Allen combined for 0 points in Game 7 of the 2013 NBA Finals to carry LeBum James to a ring. pic.twitter.com/oBigZaVk7I

{argues that James didn't engineer a super team}

{presents as evidence that when two HoF teammates played poorly, James had a THIRD HoF teammate to support him anyway...}

Um...okay.

All that does is lie and contradict himself. He is the definition of a propagandist.

Wow I don’t get the Caruso trade. No picks involved? Josh Giddey ****ing sucks. Can’t believe the Bulls agreed to this shit trade

That team STARTED four HOF players…….Four. Jordan never had that and still went 6-0 in the Finals, never got down 3-1, and won 72 games in the 95-96 season. If Parker or Ginobli makes one additional FT in game 6 of the 2013 Finals your boy Lebron leaves his super team with one ring.

You're such a ****ing cornball.

For the millionth time YOU brought up MJ because you're the most insecure obsessed weirdo on the internet.

And this "no you" thing you're doing calling me a propagandist after I started calling you one is so ****ing reeruned and baseless.

You spend your entire time on a Chiefs board doing this. You have more MJ related posts than I do.

Um...okay.

Do people just have no memory of what Ray Allen was at that point (or just how bad Bosh was in the playoffs for Miami in general on those teams) or do they just ignore it
