2016 NBA Finals — Warriors vs Cavaliers

Yeah not taking anything away from lbj the guy he does some amazing things for sure

steph obvs edging in on popular cult levels too tho his repeated failure to dominate the offs is prob holding him back there

kobe purposely modeled his game to be attractive but in the process lost a lot of hardcore fans by being unsound

bron completely shifted the paradigm of what it means to be dominant at basketball away from "extremely good at making mid range jump shots" and if people don't recognize it that's their problem

yeah kobe not top 5 but damn dude had a flair for drama like no other

its kinda sad we never got the 12 assists a game version of bron, playmaking along w fastbreaking are prob the funnest parts of his game, tho from an actual winning games perspective im sure it make more sense for him to score than pass and obvs he still did rack up a ridiculous pile of assists anyway

hilarious to read this thread in 2016, time capsule from before the steph era

"who just runs to the line and throws up 28 footers?"

i might buy it except that lebron isnt a good shooter - he was chucking - the shots went in - happens

lol the og bron hater

jk i love bron

tho do have to say it tarnishes his legacy somewhat that hes such a bad gm and coach

i agree i never found bron to be that compelling a player in his first couple of seasons. his teams always seem so grind-heavy and made with low quality parts

only time he ever really let himself be coached was in miami and it worked out good

just to make sure we're all on the same page, does anyone want to argue this goes past six?

hmm maybe u shd call a meeting send an invite to the google calendar

it could imo xp

heh i think i made one of those w point guards too where i also didnt list steph but did include john wall before hed even played in the league

kyrie can be amazing but he has major major flaws

pretty insane the quality of point guards right now where you can forget that john wall exists sometimes

kyrie has insane skills and plays incredibly dumb, a true throwback chucker

wall gotta be one of the most underrated players rn

i like me some bron but i think maybe why i don't HAVE to tune in to watch him is cos he just kinda goes steady eddy through the game. Like every quarter he gets 7 points, 2 rebounds and 2-3 assists. by the end of the game he's amassed a great stat line and had major impact on the game but you rarely (especially any more) get those manic bursts and crazy quarters of pure ecstasy. curry seems to have had one of those like every game or two throughout the last two seasons.

wall is still inconsistent and still can't shoot but he's hella fun to watch

kyrie is the best playground player in the nba right now

PG poll

i was thinking that the success of the warriors/spurs shows the limitation of the assists stat, u need a hockey assist and hockey hockey assists stat, maybe passes per point or something lol

like i get that bron is a great distributor but at some point ur offense needs to be more sophisticated than drive and kick or w/e that bron does

lmao if we cld just somehow remove rondo from the top of that it wldnt look too bad xxp

nobody on the warriors averages more than 6 assists per game xp to myself

i cant find the one i started but i swear it was real

maybe it was on the sandbox

v true, when was the last time we saw bron explode and completely take over?

ya one guy putting up big assists doesnt really work that good in todays nba like even chris paul plays off the ball sometimes

iirc i saw a stat recently that no team has won a shampionship with a player averaging over 10 assists on the team since Magic lakers

wow thats kinda nuts

last years finals i guess but even then it was out of necessity and he really didn't shoot a great percentage.

GSW led league in apg http://espn.go.com/nba/statistics/team/_/stat/miscellaneous-per-game/sort/avgAssists

many xps but spottie what are you seeing with the cavs that wins them two in a row?

well no draymond could get them this one then game 6 would be a battle in Cle. game 4 was close until the last few minutes.

yup

wouldnt be surprised by anything at this point. the draymo thing def opened the door for them.

ya seems like a lot of ppl are underestimating how big losing dray for a game is

you have to really put a lot of stock in home court to feel like the dubs are gonna walk tonight

they def cld just via hot shooting or w/e but i dont think its the most likely outcome

cavs have done a fairly good job of containing curry this whole series until they started getting really sloppy on D last game

well they lost the first 2 games by 60 points so im not sure i would go that far
