Notice this has been creeping onto sky lately, watched it a bit when i was kid but never really got into it.

 

Anybody watching it?

 

Googled the star players, i have heard of the lebron james - i found this on YouTube i think its brilliant

 

[gypsymuffin]

I watched the game at the O2 on sky. It was okay.

 

There is games every sunday now i think. Will definately tune in again.

[Stoney]

i watched one last night must have been a re-run

 

i cant believe kobe bryant still plays haha!

Safe to say that Lebron is the greatest of all time, ridiculous comeback for the Cavs from 2-0 down in the series, the man is an absolute freak.

It's a question that can never be answered.

 

Ridiculous talent though.

Played basketball as a kid. Great game to play, boring as fuck to watch.

You're right but he's carrying them to a level that is unheard of, matched MJs 40+point record the other night, if they go on to win this it's probably his greatest ever achievement.

Amazing to see the overlap of MJ, Kobe and Lebron.

That would be good, each of them are freaks in their own right, Lebron physically is a phenom I'd say.

 

There's a crazy stat with Lebron where he's spent almost 0.03% of his life playing play off basketball

For me, MJ is the best I have seen. He was mostly surrounded by great players though. Kobe was amazing and was carrying the Lakers on his back towards the end of his career.

 

Lebron has been phenomenal wherever he has played though. Didn't look like he was ever going to get that first championship until Miami. Look at him now.

That's nothing compared to the % you'll be putting in to get your 10000 hours of darts

[RAZOR]

MJ was the greatest player in the greatest team of all time. Look at the talent he had surrounding him (Scotty Pippen etc).

 

Lebron is certainly the best player I've seen since that great Bulls team.

 

A player I love to watch highlight reels off and is arguably one of the greatest is Larry Bird - that white boi could ball.

Pointless discussion, due to league expansion, rule changes, financial rewards etc but...

 

Not for me.

Odds are against a title and that's one of the biggest knocks on him.

 

3-5 (6) in Finals, only got 2 when playing with Wade and Bosh, and 1 with Kyrie.

 

He'd be in the top 5 all time

MJ only played with one hall of famer (Pippen) in his first run of 3 titles and played with Pippen and Rodman in his second run of 3.

 

He made them great teams.

 

Other teams around that time had as much if not more talent, they just didn't have 23.

Post merger

 

The greatest collection of talent on a single team was the 86 Celtics

Bird HOF

Parish HOF

McHale HOF

DJ HOF

Walton HOF

 

And Danny Ainge.

 

As far as playoff dominance goes it's hard to look past the 83 76ers who went 12-1 including a sweep of the kareem/magic Lakers.

 

And if the warriors win this year, it's as a good a run as anyone has ever had over a four year period - 3 titles, 4 finals and a ridiculous winning percentage over that period.

[Zeus]

Lou Amundson is the greatest player I’ve seen live in the NBA

[RAZOR]

Lebron last night was worth a wank.

[Zeus]

Nae idea why.....I've got a dislike for the Golden State Warriors

 

Shower o cunts

[boboisared]

Lebron now a Laker.

Some serious cash involved in that one, definitely plan to go see him play, LA would be a treat.

In what sense? He's turned down more money in Cleveland.

 

Will be interesting to see who follows him as he won't be going on his own.

Yeah I'm aware that it's less that he'd have got with the Cavs but his sponsors and so on will all go up barring Nike, he's on a rumoured billion dollar deal with them as it is but him moving to LA opens more doors.

Business opportunities after retirement are definitely a factor.

Really? Didn't realize that.

[boboisared]

 

Really? Didn't realize that.

Aye. Can never get my head around the contracts etc but he opted out, then chose a lesser deal at LA. Think it was still the max LA were allowed to offer.

[PondHopper]

It's a question that can never be answered. 

 

Ridiculous talent though.

Those coattail Miami rings don't count. It'd be like if Jordan got to play with Pippen and another star like Shawn Kemp or a healthy Grant Hill.

 

Statistically... the real goat is Wilt. Laker Lebron is in for a rough year. 

[BrianFaePerth]

Is Kareem Abdul Jabbar still playing for the Lakers or is he a pilot these days?

[PondHopper]

More likely to see a shot kicked at the basket fall than a sky hook these days.

Him and Phil were great in Eastenders.
