Now people see how 2009 Lakers had the easiest path to championship

[Pursuer]

Ish is never short of wonderful threads like this.

[L.A. Jazz]

who cares? winning is winning and it`s never easy in pro sports.

Dwight in the Finals: 15.4 ppg on 48%
Dwight's second option Turkoglu: 18 ppg on 49%
Dwight's third options Rashard Lewis: 17.4 ppg on 40%

Has to among the worst performances for a franchise player in Finals history. Lakers had a cakewalk in '09.

And Lebron badly outplayed Kobe as far as their respective performances against the Magic. Difference is James was playing with a group of role players while Kobe had the best frontcourt in the NBA and the GOAT coach holding his hand the entire way.

Kobe had the best frontcourt in the NBA and the GOAT coach holding his hand the entire way.

So were the Lakers that good or did they just have a cakewalk that year? You trolls need to make up your minds, conflicting agendas.

[Heavincent]

better than anything Kobe has done either. Logic fail

No.

LOL at a lebron stan saying Kobe's 09 run was the easiest path in history when just this past year,

Derrick Rose torn ACL...bulls out.
Dwight Howard back surgery......magic out
Lin and Shumpert both injured..... Knicks out

So their entire competition was basically out and they had to face the ALMIGHTY Knicks who fired their coach in the season, the LEGENDARY Pacers, which is practically a team full of role players, and the OLD ASS Celtics took them to 7 games. Not to mention they beat a young team in the finals in 5.

Magic was ranked number 1 defensively that year and of course had the DPOY. So let's not act like Lebron didn't have a cake walk this past year, especially with it being a lockout season and all.

Even i wouldnt go that far OP. Never go full retard

Why do you guys keep mentioning Rose? Do you not remember 2011 where the Heat took a mean warm doodoo on the Bulls?


Rose is a non factor and so is everyone on the Knicks.

[Legends66NBA7]

Im slowly starting to just hate basketball fans in general after reading some of the **** you stans keep posting.

I'm way ahead of you.



But it's good to see the knowledgeable fans keep it real.

Yea and do you remember how the Mavs embarassed the Heat in 2011? Stuff changes, people improve and learn from past experiences. Just b/c the Heat beat the Bulls in 2011, doesn't mean that the Bulls would've lost again.

Doesn't matter who's a non factor to you, fact of the matter is nearly everyone in the East that could've been competition to the heat this past year was injured or old.

[KyrieTheFuture]

There is no such thing as an easy path to the Finals **** all of you.

1. Shaq's legacy is built on having a cakewalk in the finals.

2. Still not mentioning the Nuggets are you? (one of Kobe

Your an idiot. Was a very close series, all the games were decided in the last 5 minutes except the first game when the Bulls blew out the heat. Bulls had a very good lead up to the finals last year, and looked even better than their previous year.

Non-factor You should stop posting. Rose was the focus of the entire heat defense, Noah and Boozer injury affected allowed Heat to do that.

Well what does that say about Lebron that he couldn't win not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4 games against the worst finals team in finals history. They were one shot away from being swept....
