Thank you Giannis for restoring integrity to the NBA and ending the fake ring era

[3ba11]

Thank you for persevering and being an example to men everywhere - never give up.. Never quit.. Real men don't seek short cuts or cheat codes.

What a blessing... You have a chance to catch MJ with more real rings (non-super-team and/or organic)

LeBron style just wins :)

[red1]

lebron-esque performance. mark jackson said it as well. :applause:

[3ba11]

He mostly loses everywhere he goes, regardless of coach or cast - he's a complete fraud that manufactured his resume in plain view - the low integrity media facilitated the fraud, but now it's over and we see how it's supposed to be done..

[SouBeachTalents]

Please, if Giannis wins another 2 rings this fakkit will be right back to bashing him :oldlol:

Giannis can catch MJ if he 3-peats

You gotta understand that I was a big Lebron fan until the "decision", which exposed who he really is (a weak man that can't persevere like Giannis, MJ, or Kobe)

[AnaheimLakers24]

agree. curlys and small dick kds rings dont matter

[Gudo]

Giannis, if you want respect, you got it! No need to ask for it. Damn you and the rest earned this.

[Spurs m8]

LEGEND!!!!!

bron and kd....your rings are fake in comparison.

This is real sport and a real sportsman...

Not a colluding little b1tch

[ClipperRevival]

It is refreshing to see an organic ring for a change.

If Giannis 3peats you'll flood the board with "Elite jumpshooting is a GOAT requirement" and "Middleton/Holiday > Pippen" threads

[3ba11]

Giannis can still become an elite shooter and Lebron team-hopped - you should've never respected him or his rings - he literally QUIT and stacked the deck - that's your hero, so don't get on me because you're embarrassed about it

[StrongLurk]

Can OP explain what he actually means by organic ring with detail?

I'm confused because he constantly hates on Curry...but didn't Curry win an organic ring in 2015 (against Lebron no less)?

[3ba11]

Can OP explain what he actually means by organic ring with detail?


Winning a ring with a team by building chemistry, brand, team identity and ultimately favorite status over several years

This requires the star to change his game to fit with teammates and execute superior strategy - some players have the capacity in their skillset to do it (Giannis or MJ) and some guys can't because they're just AAU ball-dominators (simpletons) like Lebron or CP3 (banana boat HGH bums)

[SouBeachTalents]

Finals haven't even been over 30 min and he's already doing it :lol

So why do you hate on Curry all the time when he won an organic ring in 2015?

Just because I point out that Giannis had more help, that doesn't mean he can't catch MJ with more organic rings - the talent is clearly there... But yeah, this Bucks team had about 3 Pippen's on it.. We all remember Lopez playing better than Pippen ever did when he single-handedly beat the Hawks

And this is exactly what you'll argue if he ever becomes a legitimate threat to Jordan, or if the media starts making the comparison

Kyrie didn't play at all... that's why

[StrongLurk]

Kyrie didn't play at all... that's why

Lol so you count that injury but not the fact that Kyrie also got injured against the Bucks this year? Giannis even was the one who injured Kyrie. Also you ignore the fact that these playoffs had the most injuries of all time to allstar and superstar players?

Yeah you are full of shit.

[3ba11]

I don't mind the media saying guys are better than Jordan, but just not frauds... Lebron is a fraud that manufactured his resume - I don't like being "duped" by the media into giving him props for that - he doesn't deserve ANY - anyone can mostly lose with hand-picked super-teams - that's what Lebron did, yet the media lionized this bum into some sort of super-man, despite mostly losing (and in embarrassing fashion.. his teams quit just like he does)

[Axe]

1-9.

Curse you 3ball, i can't see my avy anymore.:rant

Nets had a 2-0 lead and should've still won.. A 2-0 lead is a sufficient head start.. But the reality is that Giannis > KD

[Airupthere]

Thank you indeed giannis!

[StrongLurk]

Nets had a 2-0 lead and should've still won.. A 2-0 lead is a sufficient head start.. But the reality is that Giannis > KD

So you have no real response to you hating on Curry's 2015 organic ring (by your definition) but not hating on Giannis' ring? Hell, even Harden was injured in that Nets series and KD clearly outplayed Giannis.

You aren't convincing anybody that you care about Giannis...you just hate Lebron.

[3ba11]

So you have no real response to you hating on Curry's organic ring (by your definition) but not hating on Giannis' ring?


Kyrie got the Nets a 2-0 lead

if he got the Cavs a 2-0 lead in 15', then the Cavs win

[GrayGoat]

You can feel op’s tears with each word he types

[StrongLurk]

Kyrie didn't play at all in 2015.

He played this year and got the Nets a 2-0 lead

Heck, if he got the Cavs a 2-0 lead in 15', then the Cavs win

Kyrie played in game 1 for the 2015 finals and got hurt in overtime.

For the Nets/Bucks series, Kyrie only played four and Harden only played three games at about 40 percent health...so Giannis got a big break just like Curry.

Even with the obvious facts you want to ignore...you are still being hypocritical here.

You gave your pure definition of an organic ring and then when called out on your hypocritical bullshit, you try to move the goal posts once again.

[HBK_Kliq_2]

exactly.

KD's last two series (without the warriors) he blew a 2-0 lead and a 3-1 lead.

Kawhi vs Giannis at this point is interesting though because players seem to start their primes at 23 yrs old but start peaking at 25-32 yrs old range, so i would love for them to face right at their peaks.

Kawhi since he turned 25 years old has been a better player then Durant. Giannis has peaked since 2019 and got better each year, so it's close with him.

Curry has no real rings as the 1st option because Love and Kyrie were both out... Otoh, the nets had a 2-0 lead this year but Giannis was just too good

[tpols]

I'm no Lebron fan, but if you put the 2007 Cavs up against this Booker and old Paul led suns team instead of the prime Duncan Parker Manu Spurs he would've been a champion too at only 22 or whatever. Its all circumstantial.

[SouBeachTalents]

I'm no Lebron fan, but if you put the 2007 Cavs up against this Booker and old Paul led suns team instead of the prime Duncan Parker Manu Spurs he would've been a champion too at only 22 or whatever. Its all circumstantial.
Idk bruh, the Suns def don't lock down LeBron like the Spurs did, but that Cavs team was ASS, and LeBron was still well below the player he'd become. Outside his legendary Game 5 against Detroit that was arguably LeBron's worst playoff run. But no disagreement he'd have a better chance at a win against these Suns than those Spurs

Lebron was barely beating the 07' Pistons, so he wouldn't win a game off these Suns.. In 2 decades of playing, Lebron never beat a top 5 SRS team in carry-job fashion (poor scoring and efficiency from a sidekick)

So you're saying he'd do something that he never did in 2 decades already.

And these Suns were a real team, but Giannis and the Bucks were getting better with each game.. They're still getting better as I type this and will be better next year.

[RRR3]

Yeah but 09 Cavs would wax this Suns team.

[StrongLurk]

You are just lying to yourself and everybody. Curry won an organic ring in 2015 as the clear first option, same as what Giannis did.

Here is your definition again: "Winning a ring with a team by building chemistry, brand, team identity and ultimately favorite status over several years. This requires the star to change his game to fit with teammates and execute superior strategy."

This is literally what Curry did in 2015...but you try to say it doesn't count due to injuries, but you give Giannis a pass for beating an injured Nets team and ignore all the other injuries in these playoffs?

What is wrong with you?

[tpols]

That Cavs team was in every game vs the spurs. They weren't being blown out. Young lebron wouldve run BUCK wild on this porous Suns defense. And there's no way in hell prime Duncan Parker and Manu were worse than ayton Booker and old Paul.

[RRR3]

Curry is closer to Jordan than Giannis is, that’s why he’s doing this

[Ca$H]

agree. curlys and small dick kds rings dont matter

Curry won his 1st ring without KD.

[ShawkFactory]

Ending it?

I’m confused. Do you like...think the Nets, Clippers, and Lakers aren’t going to be playing basketball next year?

Except he didn't run buck wild on anyone back then.. Not even the pistons.

look at his numbers in those playoffs - complete trash against pretty much everyone

he was young back then and couldn't actually play - the Cavs just had a great defense and the conference was the weakest in history - it was won by any and everyone

Lebron is alive and well and has probably been working tirelessly to recruit another star to the lakers. While superteaming isnt done, this is a concrete and solid statement that giannis route is what people respect. Not superteaming.

[3ba11]

“Couldn’t actually play” lol


Retardball


Which all-time great shot 35% in a series as 1st option??

Yet that was Lebron's caliber versus championship comp at that time:


Lebron vs 07' Spurs... 22 on 35%
Lebron vs 08' Celts.... 26 on 35%


again, the guy couldn't play back then.. after those debacles shown above, he lost as the favorite for 3 straight years, including with a super-team..

again, the guy couldn't play until wade taught him how

[MadDog]

Nah that's cap. 22 year old LeBron had fear in his eyes, and Popovich dared him to shoot. LeBron was a weak defender in 07 too. Beyond that, Booker just cooked his ass a month ago. :oldlol: Tonight Giannis had the BEST GAME I've seen since Jordan. That colluding conman aint ****ing with the freak.
