Lebron is taking over
Rondo is taking over
AD's defense on butler is causing havoc on Miami.

He was hit in the head. Has happened multiple times tonight.... likely an overreaction but he does cry a lot
Well.
What I loved about tyler at UK was that he fought.
And that's what he is doing now. I thought the lead would extend, but looks like Herro is helping the scoring in check.

Jordan won with other HoF players and a coach. Magic had Kareem and Worthy when he won. Bird's teams were loaded with talent. Duncan's teams had three HoF players and a coach.
There has rarely been a player that one a championship all on their own. A Team usually needs multiple players with that kind of talent to win a championship.
Man, AD defensively is insane
But when you hit the three he is completely insane.

I hate watching LeBron; I don’t like the Lakers. But I love AD and Rondo. Such a dilemma. Heat fell apart tonight with AD’s defense.
I dont like Lebron but I hate Uncheats much more. I want Lebron to completely replace MJ in the GOAT convo. And Vogel, AD and Rondo are helping him do it. Gotta love it
rondo one win away from being the only player to win a title for both the lakers and the celtics.
Rooting for the Heat. I bet on them early and have been riding their hot hand. God bless Herro for that last second 3 to cover.
Sports betting aside, Rondo and AD (particularly Rondo) are some of my favorite Cats and NBA players of all-time. But LeBron is unbearable to watch. He whines all game and acts like a royal douche. The Heat are fun to watch, play team basketball, and bring as much effort as they can to grind out wins. The Lakers are going to win and I’ll take solace in 2 cats getting ‘ships.

At this point that’s impossible. The best LeBron and you can hope for is being MJ’s peer in the convo. He’s not even there yet.
I'm beginning to doubt that anybody post-Jordan will ever be considered the GOAT, regardless of talent. Basketball's simply nowhere near as culturally relevant as it was in the '80s and '90s, and to a lot of people, that fact apparently automatically disqualifies number of great players who, in another time and place, might've be lauded as legendary.
The legend of Jordan is already fading. Soon he will be another "generational legend" like Elgin Baylor, Kareem, Dr J, Wilt, Bird, Magic etc. Lebron will own the record books for decades until the next true generational talent takes the reigns

LeBron is a peer of MJ. In my opinion, there's only three players you can call the GOAT, Kareem, MJ and LeBron. They're the only ones with the greatest combination of winning and individual accolades.
LeBron is going to be the all time points leader. He's already top ten in assists and top 40 in rebounds. 4 MVPs and he could have won a few more. He'll have at least four championships on 3 different teams. He went to the title game 8 years in a row with 10 total appearances. There are only two players with more than that.
If you don't think LeBron is a peer of MJ, then maybe you're being bitter rather than objective.

In the 1st half last night it did seem like he lost a few steps... but bounced back in the 2nd.
He's a half-step slower and not as athletic (as in the past).
Lebron still has his amazing eyesight and floor skills.
I liked him, but if he is your second best player, your team generally isn’t going to go far without a legitimate generational talent.

crazy how we were legitimately have a once in a generation athlete and we don’t appreciate him due yo things off the court etc
Wouldn’t mind seeing the heat force game 6. If this was AD vs Bam/Herro I really wouldn’t care who won, but the Lakers have Rondo so I’ve mostly been rooting for them. Still wouldn’t lose sleep over it if the Heat some how come back to win it, but really want Rondo to get another ring to add to his HOF resume.
Rondo's been my favorite player in the league since he set foot in the league. I am kind of biased as I went to Murray State with his brother who was always hyping him up and he turned out to be 100 percent right. Rondo always makes the right play as does Lebron but people critique them for that. Most of the time a pass is absolutely the play that needs to be made.
Not sure what the ratings have anything to do with what he said.
In case you didn't know, TV ratings only indicate the amount of people who watched a show. They don't indicate a players greatness. I hope that clarifies a few things for you.
Maybe you should go read his post to help clarify things. Apparently he believes people will soon forget about Jordan, yet more people would rather tune in to watch a documentary on Jordan than view the live NBA Finals featuring the current best player in the game.
Who cares how many people are watching? I watch shows and sports I like because I like them.
oh let me see if the rest of the country/world is watching this. I just want to make sure everyone else likes it before I decide if I do. Like wtf? Who cares what other people enjoy or don’t enjoy? To each their own

Actually I may use that logic on my significant other when I want to watch sports...
“Honey did you know that HGTV/the bachelor ratings are down 10% from year ago, maybe we should not watch it”
if that works i owe ya one

This time tomorrow.... AD gonna be 4 Quarters from a Chip
Would love to see Rondo join UK staff. I think he would be one of those coaches that are extremely tough, feel like him and Cal would be great.
