    LOL. Maybe he should include a bookclub membership so people buying these can actually educate themselves.

    Its not that Lebron didn't have ebough talent, its GSW has TOO MUCH talent. Its not like the Cavs didn't kill the east last year. Lebron has been to finals since he went to Miami and as good as everyone says the Celtics are now they still wont beat GSW.

    Also Kyrie is now playing with Stevens who is one of the best coaches in the league oth Lebron is playing on a team with a joke coach who has no idea what is going on. It makes a lot of difference like see GSW during Marc Jackson days vs Kerr days.

    Finally the Cavs are a lot weaker right now because Thomas isn't playing. If he was healthy the trade would have been a slam dunk for the Cavs.

    This is such a dumb message. Most people are seeking answers because they are ignorant. How TF are you supposed to learn anything if you don't first rely on the body of knowledge compiled by other people like books? That's like somebody decising he wanted to learn how to read but instead of going to school and learning in school he decided to learn by himself and make everything up and result in not learning anything.

    This is the reason why Irving thinks the world is flat, he has ignored the evidence and tests people have done in history. The flat world theory is just so dumb if the world was flat we would run out of water because it would keep falling over the edge wtf.

    No, we would've been vague and said day to day since the day we acquired him.

    Yea but that was when HE had the most talented roster lol. So Lebron has the best roster in Miami & wins 2 rings, everyone praises him. But when he finally loses to a roster better than his, its used as a excuse for him losing. Why weren't ppl making this excuse when he had Bosh, Wade & Ray Allen?

    Because despite the fact that he had the most talented roster, it was still competitive. What we are seeing now is the best team in the history that just added a top 3 NBA player and future hall of fame in his prime. It would be like Orlando Shaq leaving the Magic and joining the MJ Bulls back then.

    kobethegreat

    Lebron has repeatedly proven he can single handedly a starless team to the finals

    Kobe? failed getting to the playoffs one year and kicked out of the 1st round the other year

    Again, the same lame arguments over & over. Yea Kobe didn't make the playoffs one year and eliminated in 1st round. But what was his roster? Smush parker, Chris Mihm, Kwame Brown & Brian Cook. You guys using this as a strike on Kobe's legacy as if the Lakers weren't in a full rebuild. He stayed with the same team & didn't jumpship when things got bad. No NBA fan should respect a guy who joins up with other superstars every couple years. Kobe's path is the biggest thing I respect about him. Michael Jordan agrees

    Excuses smh. He had by far the best roster with Wade & Bosh (and Ray Allen) before GS. It shouldn't have been competitive. Nobody said "it's not fair because Lebron stacked the deck". He needed a stacked team to be competitive. As critical of Harden I've been, he's put up better numbers, with less talent, in a HARDER conference. These excuses only apply to Lebron I see.

    Once again why do you and others ignore Lamar Odom when mentioning that roster? He was better than any teammate LeBron had pre Miami and better than any teammate Harden had in Houston pre Howard. It looks even shadier when you ignore Caron Butler as well. Wade made the playoffs with those two before they were traded to LA.

    And he didn't "stay with the same team". He tried to force his way out and the owner refused to trade him.

    And Kobe had no issue with teaming up in 2004 (Malone and Payton), when he thought they landed CP3 or when they got Howard and Nash.

    Stop with this revisionist history.
