That's the obese Axe I know! I'm glad you're okay, bud. And your parents....well, they just want you to get a job and leave the house and stop eating hot pockets. They care about your well-being, fatty.
Barkley was a top 3-4 player in the league in the early 90s. Bosh was never at the level. At his absolute best he was a fringe stop 10 guy but wasn’t consistently even there.
Ofc, here comes his super obese butt buddy trying to white knight for him this time. How could i ever forget. :oldlol:
Also always whines about me regardless of how active or inactive i am itb. :hammerhead:
It took you a long time to reply to Jstern. Normally you're like a fly on shit when Jstern mentions your name. Is everything okay? Are you mad at your parents again??
So I guess that means 2010’s had weak competition compared to the 90’s if the top players in the league in 2010 were so greatly inferior to the top players of the league of the 90’s
Difference is the right tends to cancel wealthy corporations
The left tends to cancel individuals
Just another example of how the roles have reversed over the years with the left and right. I know the left hates to hear it but will the left ever regain it's cool rebel image again? Instead of the preachy, anti-individualism, anti-freedom,...
Bosh was a 2nd team all NBA guy ONCE in his seven year career before joining the Heat. Barkley was a perennial first team all NBA and eventual MVP over peak MJ.
It's so clearly agenda driven to suggest Bosh was Barkley to devalue Lebron. Barkley was levels above Bosh as a player, it's very clear.
You're arguing just to argue. I'm not saying Kobe and Wade were not in the same grouping, but after 2010 the consensus was not that Wade was better than Kobe. It just wasn't. After Kobe won in 2010 this place was littered with Kobe = MJ threads, in fact you joined this place because of 2010 Kobe. Your join date aligns perfectly.
I think the seeds were planted before the series began. After the ECFs, a series the Heat clearly lose if not for Bron's performance( Bosh was good too in that series if memory serves), Scottie Pippen publicly declares that Lebron may be the GOAT overall player, and I wonder if that was playing in his mind as something he now needed to validate...
And again you compare someone with one year of whatever someone studying to be a "fashion designer" would learn at some school to a person with a law degree, passed the bar, won multiple elections and made it to the senate.
A person of average intelligence could comprehend what I wrote.
I'm not a Democrat. You're talking to someone that...
Yeah people have faulty memories. Lebron, Kobe and Wade were pretty much consensus top 3 in that 2009/2011 period and Wade in some circles was getting 'best in the league' talk, true or otherwise. Alot of people felt Wade had a legit MVP case in 2009( Miami didn't have enough wins, but Wade was balling that year). Hell, from 2005 to 2010 I'd argue...
Thats why people are saying he threw it. No defense in the world can hold prime peak LeBron to 8 points. He quit because Wade was about to win his 2nd FMVP and destroy his goal to have a GOAT case. He would've got the same ridicule Kobe got for not winning FMVPs aka the Pippen treatment.
Yeah, I don't engage in the whole 'what would player X do in player Ys era?' thing, especially 60 years apart. We really have no clue what skillset Player X develops coming along today. And the reverse is also true, nobody in 2020 in playing the same way in 1970. They'd be completely different players, different skillsets, attributes, different...
This isn't true at all.
There were tons of people on here saying Wade > Kobe in 2010 and honestly Wade did have way better numbers.
The clear cut consensus in 2010 was Lebron Kobe Wade were the best players in the NBA by far. Which aligns perfectly with early 90s Hakeem who was considered around top 3 behind MJ and Barkley.
Game 4 was the killer for the Heat that series. Miami lose by 3 with Bron scoring 8 points while Wade scores 32 and Bosh 24. They win that to go up 3-1 with HCA, not likely Dallas is coming back.
Fair enough, I doubt Duncan playing 3 seasons in the 90s factored into it though. Shaq had more prime seasons in the 90s than he did the 2000s, he could be considered as much a 90s guy as a 2000s guy.
A quite hilarious, pathetic way to mental gymnastics, rationalize everything that actually happened. Where did you get this Dwyane Wade and Udonis Haslem, too great selfless players, claiming they got this over newcomers LeBron and Bosh? :oldlol:
More like it went so, things were playing out exactly as they had the entire season as co-alphas,...
I'm not going to say it's an awful list but it is a bad one.
Dirk Nowitzki should be ahead of Shaq
Carmello Anthony is top ten all-time in points...he belongs on the list
Kwahi, Giannis, CPIII, and Jokic should all be roughly together in rankings
Wade wasn't better than Iverson
Nash wasn't better than Kidd
