Lebeon is a lesser player though. He lacks what Jordan, Kobe, Magic and Bird had. He never had it and never will.

Actually, I think this finals complelely refutes your statement. If what you said was true he would have folded and Cavs lose in 5 or 6 games. James finishes in his last three games, all wins, with 41, 41 and a triple double. Kobe couldn't come close to those numbers in a Finals.

Just imagine how many rings he'd have if he'd played with prime Shaq in LA instead of Kobe. Heck, recall Kobe's game 7 against his rivals. He was just awful. World Peace bailed him out (was he still named Artest back then?).

With the exception of Magic, none of those players played center. Why would you claim that Hakeem "lacks" something that a list of guards and forwards have? That doesn't make sense.

You're right. Refs, suspension, hurt Curry, hurt Bogut, and ice Barnes.

Oh, but I'm hating

Imagine many championships Michael Jordan would win in Lebron's place from 2004-2016 in this era, with the same teams Lebron's played with.

Where would Jordan be with Varejao for a teammate all those years, and with randoms as coaches instead of PJ? I don't know. 2011-2016 he'd probably have more. Anyway, I never said Lebron > MJ. I only said Lebron is the greatest today and has done more with less than anyone else. (Just look at how useless Kobe was, by comparison, between Shaq and Gasol.)

The sorry east beat your warriors. Cleveland also faced, on paper, better competition before the finals than GSW. I'll admit that OKC > Toronto though.

What better competion?Pistons and hawks lol come on the east is weak look at who warriors face in the loaded west

Rockets,blazers and okc

And if miami had a healthy bosh,and whiteside miami woulda beat cavs in eastern finals,sorry queen james and sory cavs got lucky.

By the way only reason sorry cleveland one was because green got suspended in game 5 and bogut injury plus curry wasn't fully healthy
