Battle of Eras: Walt Frazier's comments vs Lebron's on the Heat's streak

[ripthekik]

So haters are telling me they are the most stacked team in history, but now I'm being told their not even near the top 10 greatest teams? Wouldn't the most stacked team ever = greatest team ever?

btw Frazier sounding salty af

stacked comparative to current league level.. and it's the truth, I dont think even you lebron fans can deny this

Frazier is right on so many levels..

[Mr Exlax]

I'm a big Lebron fan, but yeah this team doesn't strike me as great. He leads the team in too many categories for them to be great. He has to fill too many holes on that team. The streak is a testament to his greatness though.

[plowking]

You can say the same thing about Lebron's.

Lebron simply responded, and his comments hold merit, unlike Walt's, and he also congratulates and acknowledges the greatness of what the Lakers were able to do. Walt on the other hand is uninformed, plain wrong, and just made a handful of stupid comments.

2 hall of famers on this team? And he says, "maybe". Wrong. Allen is a lock. Wade is a lock. Lebron is a lock. Bosh will more than likely make it.

He mentions how weak the league was. Well its certainly a whole lot better than it was the last 12 or 13 years in terms of competition. I'd say its even more competitive than the 90's was in terms of talent spread. People want it both ways when it comes to Heat haters. You say the team isn't that good, and then you turn around and say they're a lock to win and its too easy in terms of how stacked they are. Pick one, it can't be both.

No one is calling this team top 10 ever. But if they do win it all, with this streak intact, they're definitely up there. And lol at acting as if any team with a dominant big would simply destroy the Heat. Nope. The Heat run... A lot. Where the other team has a mismatch, the Heat have one too. Lakers have always given the Heat huge size problems, yet we always beat them, and we're talking about Bynum, Gasol and Howard, who would match up well in any era.

Well.. The league is pretty weak right now. We have, in no order..

Lebron
Durant
Chris Paul
Old Kobe
Wade
Old Duncan
Melo
Tony Parker

As the best players in the league.. Who did he have?

Kareem Abdul Jabbar
Oscar Robertson
Elgin Baylor
Wilt
Jerry west

Among others.. All on less teams so the talent was more concentrated on single squads. You had Oscar and kareem together.. Wilt Baylor and west.. Those knicks teams with earl the pearl, Willis reed and Frazier.

The heat have two top players in the league and their best competition will be the Paul George led pacers in the East and probably the Spurs or Thunder in the west. One severely lacks the star power, but is a good team and he other has the star power but doesn't play like a team.

Frazier is an idiot first off dresses like a clown also secondly I stopped taking what he said seriously when he said Heat have 2 HOFers.. They have 4 on their team. Yes Bosh should make it..Ray, Wade and Lebron are locks

[Doctor Rivers]

we're talking about Bynum, Gasol and Howard, who would match up well in any era.

Give me a break, those three wouldn't last for a second in the 90s. Bynum's knees would shatter at the sight of David Robinson, Gasol would be out finessed by Hakeem and young Shaq would show Howard the true meaning of Superman.

They were only 17 or 18 teams in 1972. And some of the best basketball players in the world were playing in the American Basketball Association during that time.. The Heat are 24-5 againts the Western Conference. They also have the best record againts 0.500 NBA teams.

How many full games of each of those 1970s players have you seen in your life?

LOL all three would be pedestrian in the 80s and 90s and in the 70s where post game/midrange/ball movement reigned supreme they would be ass.

First reaction was who?

Some scrub from the weakest era of basketball talking about how his era was better? Yep sounds right, old people always like to talk about their day, as if it were better. Good ole nostalgia.

Bynum has the size to bother any center to ever play, and hes as strong as an ox. Gasol obviously isn't as graceful as Hakeem, but hes undoubtedly an 18/10 guy in any era. And yes, Howard would get taken to school by Shaq. Everyone did though, whats your point?

26 games in a row is 26 games in a row. The league and/or a certain conference has been thought to be weak before and only one other team has pulled this off. LeBron has elevated himself to a level where he is clearly one of the best to ever do it, and his team is about to win a second straight title in its third straight Finals appearance. The Heat have four HOFers (three in their primes) and decent supporting talent. They will be regarded as a great team in the future. Deal with it.

Of course they would.
You have players like Mike Gminski, of which you don't have the slightest clue who that is, averaging 15+/10 on title contending teams in the 80's and 90's yet Dwight Howard, Pau Gasol and Bynum would struggle.

This board is full of retards with agendas. F*cking idiots.
