Magic declares the 89' Cavs the "team of the 90's"
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6MLqGXughQM&t=02m29s
Cavs player says they were stacked and going to win title, but MJ intervened:

ESPN saying the Cavs had enough talent to contend in any conference, in any era:

Broadcaster saying the Cavs were championship contenders:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=I7xidL9u3iU&t=0m20s
Carry on the fraud tho
The 89' Cavs had the #1 SRS, #2 defense, +800 preseason odds and a big 4 (3 all-stars + 20/5/5 Ron Harper).
^^^ That's a better team than lebron ever beat in the East - none of the opponents he beat were that high in all 4 categories, or even 2 (SRS, defense, preseason odds, all-stars).
Conclusion: the 88' and 89' Bulls would beat the 07' Pistons (#6 SRS) and 09' Magic (#4 SRS), since they already beat a #1 SRS "big 4" in 89'

The 1950 Toyota Spam bot is at it again malfunctioning after I dumpster him with this in another thread after he posted same post:
Since 3ball is in love with 89 Cavs SRS.
The 2018 Raptors had had higher SRS than:
1995 Orlando Magic
90 Pistons
89 Pistons
88 Pistons
87 Celtics
85 Milwaukee
LeBron would have swept all those teams like he swept the Raptors.

2018 Raptors > 89 Cavs
Also the 2015 Hawks with 4 all stars were better than those Cavs
So just off the top of my head I named 2 teams LeBron best that were better than those Cavs

Truly a prophet.
The Bucks just acquired the next Jason Kidd in Michael Carter-Williams.

I love Okafor because he's won a state championship in HS, NCAA Title at Duke and he can bring that championship pedigree to the Lakers.

For all of you out there questioning Jimmer Fredette of BYU, he is the real deal. #MenCare

If Brandon Knight were to come out, I would take him number 1 in the draft.

Making the finals in 2007 is another overrated "feat" in LeBron's resume. The minute he faced tough competition like the 09 Magic or 10 Celtics, his teams were eliminated (with HCA
), and he hauled ass to join other stars. Without recycling teams, and pairing up with LOADED talent, LeBron has HALF the titles and would be seen more like Garnett, Barkley, Malone etc. Obviously great, but nowhere what teamhopping has awarded him.

He found a new stat called SRS and the Cavs had a high SRS that year.
Little does he know Cavs 89 SRS is higher than the so called tough 98 Pacers that he loves to hype up.
The 3bot going back to his spreadsheets for another copy paste

MJ stans are forced to hype the Price/Daughtery/Nance Cavs as the "great" comp MJ beat, with the 89' Cavs being the attempt to be MJ's "16' Warriors. Sad on so many levels.

Daugherty's career ending early didn't help

To be fair, I imagine Magic has made 1000s of comments over the years... you expect him to be right on all of them? Originally Posted by SouBeachTalents

That had a 6 year run with the Price/Daughery/Nance core and won 3 total playoff series, clearing 55+ wins twice and 50+ thrice. They were what they were. A good but not great team. Originally Posted by Xiao Yao You

it wasn't just Magic that said the Cavs were great - the OP lists numerous other sources like ESPN, who said the Cavs had enough talent to contend in any conference, any era.. see the OP for video Originally Posted by FKAri
