On paper, the 17' Warriors demolish the 96' Bulls

Kobe was in a dimension that we can't comprehend

He grew up in Italy and speaks fluent Italian, Spanish and Slovenian apparently

His mental toughness was unmatched - if only his prime coincided with today's Twitter world to give him unending motivation

If only Kobe's prime coincided with today's offensive format where the ball-handler is supposed to KEEP the ball after crossing halfcourt and gets to make all the decisions against an open paint.

Ultimately, it comes down to the basketball - the entire game must slow to a crawl into a beginner format of ball-dominance for Lebron to get 30, while Kobe's 30 occurs via jumpshooting so the ball moves (best strategy) and there's good teammate fits, hence the superior team ceilings/Finals record

The Lakers are 3rd in pace

The Lakers are 3rd in pace

On what planet can ball-domination win at that pace against superior jumpshooting and zippy ball movement?.. Ball-dominators need to slow it down, not speed up.. smh.. when did Lebron ever win at anything other than a SLOW pace?

No wonder the Lakers are a horrible team - low IQ hoopers and strategy

Ultimately, Lebron didn't understand basketball enough to know that he couldn't fit with Westbrook.

obviously he isn't the sharpest tool in the shed eh?.. Needs to read ish to learn about BRAND OF BASKETBALL, or the inherent suboptimal-ness of frontcourt ball-dominance (2 point guard lineups) and how it couldn't possibly fit with Westbrook (literally the worst-possible fit)
