Why is the 2016 chip so heavily talked about?

[Vino24]

Thoughts :confusedshrug:

[DocSlam]

Because Draymond racked up enough technical fouls to get himself suspended (which might happen again this season). And Kyrie went on a run where he was very difficult to stop. And people are still shook at the whole thing (let it go).

[Uncle Drew]

Because it's the greatest championship in the history of sports. That's why.

Who knows - Lebron's 2nd option destroyed the Warriors' 1st option in 2016, so Lebron only overcame an actual talent deficit in 2007, which was less than and MJ overcame:



2007 Cavs:. #7 SRS.. 50 wins.. 2 seed
2007 tDET:. #6 SRS.. 53 wins.. 1 seed

1989 Bulls:. #10 SRS.. 47 wins.. 6 seed
1989 Cavs:. n#1 SRS.. 57 wins.. 3 seed





Why is the 2016 chip so heavily talked about?


MJ played in a 2-star vs 2-star format, so those teams can't be compared to the 3-star vs. 3 star format that Lebron played in..

Lebron's big 3's mean that he only faced talent deficits in 07', 15', 17' and 18' Finals (losing mostly via sweep or record amount).. the only time he overcame a talent deficit was the 07' ECF, and MJ overcame bigger ones then that (see response below)

Furthermore, facing great teams doesn't prevent you from having great teams yourself that can compete EVENLY/adequately... But Lebron failed to compete adequately because he's 2-5 against the best teams of the era (Spurs/Warriors), including 2 sweeps and 2 record defeats.

93' Jordan averaged 11 more points than 16' Lebron in a slower-paced series

and jordan had a REAL carry-job (scored 20 more than his 2nd option, compared to only 2 more for Lebron)... :eek:

Curry's support scored 77 ppg in that series. LeBron's scored 71. (Or if I use your rounding conventions the numbers are 78 and 70 respectively). This isn't NBA jam with just two players on the floor. When you look at team talent, you need to look at the whole team, not just the big names.

Only the big names matter.. The lesser players are interchangeable

Btw, in addition to Lebron achieving stats at the expense of teammates, Curry simply underperformed - his teammates tried in vain to offset his underperformance, but that doesn't mean Curry had more help.. he just underperformed, due to injury and Kyrie

Kyrie outplayed him badly, which proves that Lebron had more help

Ultimately, 93' Jordan averaged 11 more points than 16' Lebron in a slower-paced series

and jordan had a REAL carry-job (scored 20 more than his 2nd option, compared to only 2 more for Lebron

The 1991 (http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=qpikcz&s=8#.V_L49-ArLIW) and 1992 (http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=iwox8i&s=8#.VI_7OSvF_Ck) Philadelphia 76'er media guides show that Majerle got 70 dunks in 1991, and 72 dunks in 1992 (top 10% of the league) - this is far more than Klay's career high of 21 dunks in 2015.

Majerle's higher dunk total occurred when league-wide dunk frequency was lower, as shown here (http://insidehoops.com/forum/showpost.php?p=12555171&postcount=86) (1 dunk every 23.8 shots in 1992, compared to 1 every 22.6 shots in 2014).

Why is this important?... Because people were wondering whether MJ could average 50 on Klay - he obviously could, since he averaged 41 on Majerle, who was a superior athlete and all-nba defender...

Furthermore, Richard Dumas (https://media.giphy.com/media/26h0pswrpjgYgMvBe/giphy.gif) is more athletic than any forward the Warriors have

Again proving you don't know what you're taking about and don't watch the games you presume to analyze. JR Smith was the Cavs primary Curry defender not Irving. And the Warriors had Thompson guarding Irving not Curry.

This.

[3ball]

So Kerr can't guard MJ with the starting 2-guard?

That means Klay must either guard the bigger Pippen, or ride the bench

So right away, we see that MJ's presence causes mismatches that Lebron doesn't

Plus, we know the warriors wouldn't be defending a simple 1-ball-dominator/shooters setup against MJ... MJ's skillset required opponents to defend tremendous off-ball movement and ball movement, so his teams were much better and harder to beat... He also required double-teams, which freed up teammates and opened the door for more defensive mistakes.

Obviously, it's a lot harder to double-team and defend movement like pindowns etc, then a 1 ball-dominator setup with no doubles... The only reason lebron isn't a career loser (0 rings) like his fellow ball-dominators cp3/nash is because he team-hopped for extra talent to offset his suboptimal style

MJ just needed an 18 ppg sidekick (Pippen), and virtually every other player was different from the 1st to 2nd three-peat

That's how unstacked Jordan's teams were and how interchangeable the role players are.....

role players + MJ + Jimmy Butler = most dominant dynasty of modern era

And btw - it's harder to double-team and defend off-ball movement like pindowns etc (MJ), then a 1 ball-dominator setup with no doubles and weak ball movement (lebron)... The only reason lebron isn't a career loser (0 rings) like his fellow ball-dominators cp3/nash is because he team-hopped for extra talent to offset his suboptimal style

Didn't I read somewhere that Jordan never led a championship team in defense? This would mean that either Scottie Pippen or Dennis Rodman was the defensive anchor of any championship Bulls team. So how are you only talking about scoring as it relates to Scottie Pippen and completely dismissing his rebounding and defense?

it's actually kyrie's ring, and Lebron just did the dirty work like rebounding and defense.

True. That game 6 officiating in Cleveland with calling all those ridiculous ticky tack calls on a smoking hot Stephanie Curry was so transparent.
