Re: LeBron James..."check my stats".
[QUOTE=bladefd]You do not read whole statements right? You only look at one piece of a whole sentence and just comment on that one little piece. I said "I would say he(Kerr) was a better version of Mo Williams today [B]from 3pt line[/B]." Kerr is a better 3pt shooter than Mo Williams. I did not say Kerr is better overall scorer or better rebounder or better passer or better defender, etc. All I said was that Kerr was a better [B]3pt shooter[/B]. I personally believe that Kerr was the 2nd best [B]3-pt shooter[/B] in the 90's after Reggie Miller. You can make the argument that he was the 3rd best 3pt shooter after Miller and Rice in 90s. [/QUOTE]
Players who led the league in [B]3pt fg%[/B] in the 90's:
Dell Curry
Dale Ellis
Glen Rice
Tim Legler
Tracy Murray
Chris Mullin
Dana Barros
Jim Les
Steve Kerr
Players who lead the [B]league in 3pt fg's made [/B]in the 90's:
Vernon Maxwell

You have Kerr ranked 2cnd out of all these [B]shooters?[/B]
Steve Kerr isn't anywhere near most of those guys let alone [B]John Stockton, Mark Price and Jeff Hornacek.[/B]

[QUOTE=All Net]Not close to being the same, those Laker teams never won 66 regular season games.[/QUOTE]
That's right. When your team is the #1 seed with 66 wins, the notion that your team sucks is ridiculous. Jordan's amazing 37.1 PPG season only netted his team 40 wins. The Cavs not getting to the Finals is nothing short of a huge failure.
And how can you blame matchup problems when you're up 20 points near halftime, yet still manage to lose the game?

Why do you keep wasting our time here?
#1: The Cavs have a good team, nobody's saying they don't, we were texting about the fact that they need a low post scoring presence, so when they are matched up with the best teams in the game, they can compete instead of relying on outside shooting and/or LeBron to make all the plays.
#2: Can you even name the starting line-up around Jordan that year? Can you discuss how they performed as a whole?
#3: Stop typing!

[QUOTE=bruceblitz][B][U]Became the youngest player (23 years, 308 days) and fastest (395 games) to reach the following totals: 10,000 points + 2,500 rebounds + 2,500 assists + 700 steals + 300 blocks.[/U]
Fatal9 is full of sh!t again.
[COLOR="Navy"]David Robinson has 2441 assists in his entire career, so David Robinson NEVER reached that mark.
Shaq didn't crack the 2500 assist mark until the 2004-2005 season, Shaq just cracked the 700 steals mark last year.

The poster I quoted highlighted 10000 points, 300 blocks and 2500 rebounds, and I was clearly referring to those particular statistics. Didn't see the 2500 assists and 700 steals requirement (scanned it quickly and missed the unbolded parts).

Re: LeBron James..."check my stats".
It is odd how one hand how many Lebron fans say his team sucks but then on other talk about how great he will do next season--including winning Finals MVP. As far as we know he will pretty much have the same team next season.

You will never quote me as saying that, for sure. I truly believe the Cavs are gonna make 1-3 good moves in the off-season. Ben Wallace retiring is gonna give them some good trade bait because they will be able to trade him to a team who wants to free up cap space. That's why he's waiting to actually retire until he's traded. No doubt the Cavs need a low post scoring presence before LeBron has the tools around him to lead them to a title. The Celtics will be coming back in full force next year and KG has guaranteed a back to back championship for them in 10-11.
Re: LeBron James..."check my stats".
I was thinking about people like Lebron23. That guy says Lebron will win regular season, all-star game, and finals MVP next season (I think he also says Lebron will lead the league in scoring too).
They will make moves but it remains to be seen whether they can make a significant move and whether that move pans out. They acquired Mo Williams and he was supposed to be their reliable #2 scorer and look at how that turned out. :oldlol:
Re: LeBron James..."check my stats".
Cleveland definitely needs to make at least 2 moves. I think Hedo would be a good fit. And Shaq would give them a much-needed scorer in the post.
LeBron needs to work on his post game as well, especially his footwork. Mike Brown needs to find a way to make teams fear LeBron all over the court, like #24. Cleveland is just too basic in the way that they use LeBron, and he 's gotta add more to his game

Team sports and the future of team sports is hard to predict because of all the intangables. Anyways, the whole regular season, and scoring title thing, I think D Wade is gonna have something to say about that. I bet D Wade sits at his house watching all of the hype around LBJ and Kobe, and D Wade wants to be talked about on the same level as them. Those of us in the "know", we know D Wade is clearly a top 3 player in the NBA depending on where you rank him, but I think he's gonna have a big say in all of those categories except Finals MVP. The whole All-Star game MVP, who cares?

LeBron's skill set in the post is right on, he can do anything in the post, you really should watch him more. He needs to play face up basketball though because the Cavs rely on him to draw the defense in, freeing up the shooters for good looks. If they used LeBron in the post all day, that would render their shooters useless for the most part. You gotta think about the way you incorporate his usage in the team offense as pertains to the players who are around him and their strengths.

You lie!!! D-Wade says that he does not care about all the popularity Kobe and Lebron are getting. He cares more about his personal life, which sucks right now. He said he does not care about the MVP trophy.

Finally, you say something decent.
Re: LeBron James..."check my stats".
Wade's team can only next year improve through experience. If they can get to the 50's in wins Wade has a legitimate shot at being MVP, although this will be greatly influenced by which end of the 50's they are at and their seeding. Individually he is right up there with Lebron/Kobe but his team sucking holds him back as far as the public eye goes.

At best, I'd say LeBron is "effective" in the post. But a guy who's 6'9 and 270+ should be killing it. I mean, he should be getting most of his touches in the paint. It's a much better % than isolating him at the top of the key and waiting for him to make a move.
I realize that the offense still relies on the skill of the players around him, but I think Mike Brown could still do more with the talent that he has
Re: LeBron James..."check my stats".
LEBRON JAMES=CHARLES BARKLEY... GREAT STATS- PERENNIAL LOSERS!!!
PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT THEIR TEAMMATES, WHILE THEY SUCK HARD WHEN GAME IS ON THE LINE...
