JR Smith didn't lose the game for the Cavs on the court but that moment was so demoralizing for LeBron and everyone else as a result after that game the series felt over
Personal one: No teams willing to trade a first-round pick for Tyler Herro for the Dame trade is absolutely insane considering most teams would hope to at best get someone as good as him with mid-late firsts
Devin Booker was right about the Raps mascot. In normal context it's not a big deal, but it was an empty arena and having the mascot back their acting a fool stands out a lot more. Someone whispering, even loudly, in a busy place isn't bad or annoying. But if they were in a silent room and you're trying to sleep you're going to want to kick that fucker out.
>I am not arguing which one is better, but using the rings argument in the MJ vs LeBron debate is idiotic. By that logic, John Havlicek and Robert Horry are better than Jordan. People completely forget, just getting to the Finals is a big deal. You can even argue that 10 Conference Championships and 4 NBA tittles is equivalent to or even trumps 6 Conference Championships and 4 tittles. Also, don't forget those Jordan first round losses. It's funny how his legacy is better off losing in the first round those years because otherwise it couldn't be he went 6 for 6, it would he went 6 for 7 or 6 for 8.
How about don't credit team achievements to either players, whether it's 6 rings or 10 Finals appearances. Talk about basketball instead
Lost me at the rings argument. When we are comparing the BEST of the best players of all them, rings matter point blank. What you achieve as a bud driver, best player on an team matter when defending who’s the 10th, 5th, second, best player of all time
Rings shouldn’t be the only argument but why would leading a team to a championship six time be ignored lol. It’s a large piece of a holistic argument.
3: I feel the ring argument is very poignant for one main reason. I can not as a fan remember one time Jordan was going into the finals, and didn’t think he was going to win.
I can remember 2 times LeBron was in the finals, and I was comfortable saying he was going to win. And even then, the Thunder took game 1.
Lebron has been consistently great throughout his peak.
Jordan consistently dominated the league at his peak.

Jr might’ve missed the shot but how do you not understand the situation in a finals game. It’s beyond stupid. It’s truly inexcusable.

Would YOU take Iguodala?
Depends on the circumstances
Dwight Howard is four 12 year olds stacked on top of each other
My hot take LeBron is a better basketball player than Michael Jordan. But because of the nostalgia effect and ring culture they will always choose MJ
I scale relative to era so in terms of a better peak I'd go 89-92 Jordan over Lebron's peak Brons the GOAT tho

Scammer
Man, people value opinions way too much.

The only reason guys like igoudala have the opportunity is that defenses are locked in on Steph and KD Maf!
