It goes against my narrative, but I hope Luka (Kyrie) wins the Finals

[3ba11]

Holy crap that would destroy Lebron's goat case.. It's already destroyed just by Kyrie making the Finals tbh.. The new generation views making the Finals the same as winning it.. Making the Finals is a title of sorts... Let's go Luka!!

Bro…everyone could see this pivot coming from miles away. Too predictable.

Celtics win - Kyrie can't win without LeBron
Mavs win - Bron & Luka ball clearly superior to "expert jump shooting" style

It isn't a pivot - I believe the Celtics and Tatum will win due to superior brand of ball - but I don't mind Kyrie and Luka winning because it would really hurt Lebron.

As I stands now, we know that for Lebron to win as 1st option, he needed a sidekick that made the Finals without him

Lebron already lost because, we know that for him to win as 1st option, he needed a sidekick that made the Finals without him

Sure it is. If the Mavs win you'll make it about Kyrie and Lebron and steer clear of the Luka-ball stuff you've shat on for years.

You're much like the brand of ball you claim will lose 3 straight in the finals. We figured you out years ago brother.

Nah we already saw it in 2016, so we already know that Kyrie is goat key that unlocks everything to beat ball-movement

Accordingly, I will simply praise Kyrie for being a goat that can topple the best ball movement - an exception to a massive rule - ball movement beats ball-dominance EXCEPT when Kyrie is present

And ball movement won the last 3 Finals (Tatum, Jokic, Curry)

MJ needed Pippen just to get out of the first round.

Both Luka and Lebron will have won a ring with Kyrie as their closer, but the difference is that the next guy up for Luka is either a rookie or a 35% shooting tweener from Charlotte where as Lebron had a 26-13, All NBA second team power forward as his third choice.

That would be like if Luka had someone like Sabonis as his third option.

Lebron really always stacked the deck. You never needed 3 all nba players to win a ring before Lebron or after Lebron. Most teams get it done with 2 all stars. Absolutely crazy how Lebron manufactured his wins, he just wouldn't be able to get it done with one all star teammate. Maybe he wins one in his career, sure, but nowhere near the 5 rings.

Exactly, just give it a rest already 3ball. His trolling is outdated and he needs to retire.

Kyrie isn't the closer of the Mavs. He has his moments but he is not "closing games out for Luka"

That's just absurdly inaccurate to say. Wtf

Op just took the long road to prove the superiority of Lebrons championship chemistry. It still works 7 years after the fact. Also to prove the Lebron- Luka ball style works best for a player like Kyrie giving him the freedom to score and dominate alongside his no.1 option rather than the confining system style that only allows one player to take the majority of the fg attempts aka Mike ball. Just imagine how much more beastly a guy like prime Scottie woulda been next to Luka or Lebron?? Thanks OP we finally see your point.

Lebron's "chemistry" is trading half the team every few years or leaving a franchise in FA to form another super team somewhere else.

You mean making the finals every year till he went to LA? Yeah that chemistry was dope, imagine if a player made the finals in every city he played for AND won at least a chip and Fmvp? With different coaches, different casts, different styles and the only constant being Lebron. Wow.

[Jasper]

i hope they do as well.

Half those years in the EC looked like this current one. I'm not giving him flowers for beating injured & talentless teams on the road to the Finals.

Truth is that 3Ball has a point with Lebron's style of play not being the optimal one for winning championships. Constantly dominating the ball is generally not a winning recipe if we look at the history of this sport.

baskteball has changed too much to over rely on history. Used to also be common knowledge jump shooting teams dont win titles. That's obviously not true anymore
