i don't think you can't put rings into this, as much as i hate him, and the heat- he is an amazing player. when we was on the cavaliers he did amazing things for him. it think its a matter of time before he has his rings. he should just not talk at all. the *** he says is....well, ****


...go boston...meh.

championships rings is such a bullshit way to measure a players ability in team sports. Lebron carried a Cavaliers outfit every season, Also no individual ever wins a championship by themselves, Kobe and MJ both had help, lots of it. Kobe had the best center in the modern game for 3 rings.

The idea that lebron has to play in mediocre teams because he is a talented player is stupid but this flawed logic isnt applied to any other players. SA, Celtics and Lakers have all had stacked line ups.

I lost alot of respect for Rondo and KG when they left the court in game 7, quite clear who the actual professionals in their team are.

Lol duggs..I'm not arguing your entire thought...but come on. The great ones get rings (with a raaare few exceptions).

There's absolutely a clutch quality that the MJs..the kobes...the montanas..the bradys have that some other good or great athletes just don't. To disregard that would be criminal. Chaampionships/good playoff runs are generally a good barometer of that

Lebron showed some of tat going into boston and puttting the team on his shoulders and coming out with a win. If he has more of that in him, he'll get his share of rings. If he doesn't, he does not belong in the MJ/kobe conversations imo

MJ is an entirely different beast clearly best player of all time. Kobe does not belong in the MJ conversations.
So if OKC wins then fisher>kobe?

I agree witth MJ as best ever

And no, I'm not saying its an exact science to where any player w a ring>lebron, or w the fischer comment u made. But, kobe vs lebron? Or any top notch guy that. Guided his team to several titles? You cannot disregard championships. There's a reason kobe gets them. Lebron no-showed in last years finals. He wasn't regular season mvp lebron. Some are better when pressures at its peak...some jus don't want the ball

Jurys stillout on lbj..but we can't put him in kobe conversation imo..and yes its because he hasn't won a (or 2..or 3..or 4..or 5..or6..or7) title lol

Awesome win Thunder. I think Durant is going to will that team to a finals win. I also think the Thunder have a more complete team than the Heat, better role players even though Lebron and DWade are superstars.

totally agree - Westbrook with 27 and Durant with 34? damnn. i am happy about this turn out, thunder really turned the 4th around. i think james is a great player with what he's done but what he's going to do in the future will forever piss me off. **** you lebron james. (maybe he'll read this)

go okc!

this series will go to 6 games at least, game was closer than the final score suggests as both teams are pretty streaky, sef, ibaka and collison were really the difference.

I think the thunder will win in 5 haven't lost at home all season. I have em winning tonight picking up a win in miami then coming back for game 5 and winning at home. I actually like Lebron...and agreed championships don't define how good a player truly is, however lebron is the one who once he came to miami said he would win at least 7 championship ring...So he was the one who threw his hat in the 'ring' to be rideculed.

i think Wade is banged up

i hate the 2-3-2 format ... if the NHL can fly back and forth from NJ to LA, why can't the NBA ??

would love a game 7 between these 2 teams ... great talent

Lol and heat changed that last night....although I felt there were a few bad calls that went the heat way still a great game. I'm going to change my tune not ending in 5 or 6 defiantly going the full 7...Miami defiantly picking up a win or two at home, but I still think thunder are going to take it....lebron did good wade did good bosh did good battier did great....and yet thunder still had a chance to tie it in final minute.
Side note agreed fugitive forgot the finals went to the 2-3-2 crappy format...defiantly should go back to the 2-2-1-1-1

Game 3 tonight, in Miami, it would be real nice if OKC could steal one in Miami.

The series is tied 1-1, and honestly i think after game 4 it will be tied 2-2. Teams are so even, should be a good series!
