It takes more than stacking. There is too much wear down from being "defending champions" on consecutive years, you can ask the spurs. We shouldn't be too harsh on lebron if he doesn't threepeat, its a very rare feat exclusive to few legends. Think about the alpha duos who were able to do this in modern competitive era:

Kobe/Shaq
MJ/Pippen

Do you see lebron, wade or bosh with the killer mindset of the mentioned above? i think they're tired, like i wanna stick a fork in them already. I do see that fire in ray allen tho.

I agree, when you think about those duos, MJ-Pippen and Shaq-Fisher, the amount of work, IQ, unselfishness, and so on definitely gets overlooked. Only guys like that could lead a team to a threepeat. Anyone else involved was pretty much just getting carried.

The interesting thing about Kobe is that he followed the threepeat of winning titles on the shaq/fisher coattails, with his own threepeat of failing to win a first round playoff series on his own. In his prime. So hes clearly no stranger to the threepeat.

Its so neither has to wait around the arena while the other is doing his first. These dudes are tryin to get home after the game, and have consensual sex with wimmenz. Its something not all players can relate to.

In the last 46 years, there have been three 3-peats. It's pretty rare.

If you stack the deck completely in your favor, like LeBron, it should be.

Unless you turn your franchise player teammates into spot up shooters while you spend 20 out of 24 second figuring out how you want to pad your stats every possession.

Then it's hard. You might even struggle to beat garbage like the Hibbert Pacers that way.

It's very hard, trolls don't realise this.

And no Miami aren't stacked when they are dependent on Lebron so much.

Agree, only Kobe and MJ has done it the last 20 years..

If the Heat 3peat this year, it will ruin the meaning of 3peat as a very hard and rare accomplishment because this 3peat will be known as the easiest road to finals, no competition in the weak ass east team with the help of refs 3peat and people will label this accomplishment as "Given Not Earned 3peat."

Killer mindset? I have a killer mindset.... anybody has... lol... its just a mindset.... that takes you so far if you dont most importantly have a supporting cast/team required to 3peat....

Shaq/Kobe
MJ/Pippen


Fixed. The alpha dog goes first and Kobe sure as hell wasn't THE ALPHA DOG when Shaq was around (although he tried and failed in 2004).

Jordan did it, Shaq did it, Russell did it..... not Kobe, not Pippen, not Havlicek....

The term "did it" in this context means being the best player/mvp/fmvp, most impactful/valuable player of the team etc..... meaning a single name most accountable for that outcome.... Kobe has only 2 such championship runs, which he first won at 30.... Lebron did it at 28...

No, Kobe has 5 championship runs, you seem to know very little about the history of the game if you make such mistakes

And to Akrazotile, I know you're trolling and everything, but what's the point of wasting your time on an internet forum while saying stuff you don't even believe in? And it's not even funny or interesting, it's just flat-out dumb, don't you have like friends to do stuff with or a girl that you need to look after, I mean, regular people stuff?

Lebron have 3 points scored total so far in the final 5 minutes, 3 games into the finals... yep it's the the supporting cast fault, you know the not 4, not 5 not 6 supporting cast. :roll:


It's hilarious how Lebron sinks a couple of mid range shots and everyone starts calling him the GOAT, that's how low the standart is for Lelayup.


It's the supporting cast fault kawhi shitted on LEbron on both ends.
