Aren't the 1992 Blazers better than anything Lebron has defeated in playoffs?

[3ball]

The 1992 Blazers had 5 guys who were All-Stars around that time:

Terry Porter (91', 93')
Clyde Drexler (86', 87', 89'-94', 96', 97')
Kevin Duckworth (89', 91')
Clifford Robinson (94')
Buck Williams (82', 83, 86'... All-Defensive Team in 82', 83', 88', 89', 90', 91', 92').

They also had great wing athlete/defender Jerome Kersey.

What roster has Lebron defeated that is as good as this?

Don't even know why I'm indulging you but whatever. Lebron defeated the unbelievably stacked, heavy favored Thunder in 5 games. Durant, Westbrook, Harden and Ibaka

You mean a team of kids who hadn't proven anything?

Durant and company were babies and were not favored - the Heat were the ones returning to the Finals - they were the favorite.

Harden wasn't even a starter, let alone an all-star.. He was shitting the bed off the bench.

OKC was a young team with a horrifically suboptimal style of play - the same kind that got the USA beat in 2006 World Games by Euroleague.. Almost every Finals participant in history would've beaten OKC that year, except for like the 2001 Sixers or 2002 Nets or something like that.

Somebody's scared Lebron might win a ring with a team that MJ wouldn't have even gotten past the ECF with.

Terry Porter was on fire in the '92 playoffs. I remember he was shooting as well as anyone right before the Finals similar to Curry. The Bulls defense slowed him down considerably though.

OKC was favored by NBA analysts and by Vegas. Just because u spout bullshit doesn't make it true.

Harden was 6MOY and destroyed the Spurs in the WCF. Your revisionist history is disgusting.

[Trollsmasher]

I don't know any of those players apart from Drexler

Do oldfa*s actually consider this to be a good team?

Jordan wouldn't have beat this years Celtics, Bulls and Hawks?

Clifford Robinson coming off the bench dropping 7/4/2 on 38% shooting in 92' playoffs.

1-9 without Pippen.

Harden was a bench player that averaged 18 PPG and 3.7 APG vs. Spurs in 2012 playoffs... that's LESS than JR Smith this year vs. Atlanta.. So don't overrate it.

And in the Finals - he shit the bed off the bench, for 12 PPG on 37.5% FG.

Meanwhile, Westbrook chucked the team down the drain (which he still does), and Durant stood by being passive-aggressive.. They employed literally the MOST suboptimal style they possibly could: they took turns going 1-on-1, while Brooks twiddled his thumbs and whistled his favorite tune.

A bunch of babies - again, almost ANY Finals participant in history would've beaten that team.. Otoh, the Blazers combined their elite athleticism and bevy of All-Star talent (5 all-stars) with years of savvy, veteran experience, including prior Finals experience (1990 vs. Bad Boys).
