  1. It is a factor everybody looks at.
  2. Meh, he is 29. Switched teams to get the ring.
  3. I wouldn't put Magic over Bird. Bird was older and Magic came out after 2 years at MSU.
  4. The Bird Celtics were around his age if not older(Parrish). Bird's back had nothing to do with it. The Lakers were a better franchise back then.
  5. Yes it was......put the NBA on the map.
  6. Yes he did....and lots of it.
  7. I love Larry, but how many HoFers were on his teams?
  8. I really don't know about Kareem and Russell. Both had a lot of talent around them. Magic had the talent around him as well. No, it is a two horse race. James or Jordan?
  9. Kobe is LeBron......just not what is on the court. Kobe settled out of court on a rape charge. James bolted for Miami. And fwiw MJ was screwing a gal from my neck of the woods. Pick your poison.
  10. My Dad is soon to be 78 and an avid b-ball fan. He loves these discussions when they come up. The NBA spans his lifetime. He would tell you that LeBron, without a doubt, is the greatest player he has ever seen. Think about that for a while. And fwiw, Dad is a Bulls fan. King James is like Wilt but better. He is a freak.
  11. Exactly. I have seen some of the greats. LBJ is something else. I would invite anybody to tell me another player in the NBA that can literally carry their team on their back. I am not a James fan, but I sure as hell respect his greatness.
  12. Love your MLB analogy and it is spot on. It will be deemed a bad trade if PG does indeed bolt from OKC. One year rental with no results. And the Thunder fans look at what they gave up for him.
  13. Wait, they play basketball in Boston?
  14. Look on the bright side......the Vic trade made OKC fans forget about the horrible Harden trade!!!!!!!
  15. When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become President. I’m beginning to believe it. – Clarence Darrow
  16. https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/masai-ujiris-frustration-with-dwane-casey-reached-boiling-point-after-lebron-james-sunk-raptors-in-game-3-per-report/
  17. I agree, but he did cut his teeth with Casey.
  18. Not at all talking a trade to the Pacers. Just curious as to what the Raptors think his worth is. Somehow I feel that those guys aren't happy about their coach getting fired.
  19. Which begs the question.......what does Toronto think his value his?
  20. OMG!!!!!!! I can't believe this.
  21. As I alluded to up above about the teams. It is better today than it was in the 80's. But it would be ironic if the Celtics and the Rockets met in the championship. The 80's all over again!
  22. So, you are saying that you enjoyed it in the 80's when pretty much 3 teams dominated? And I am being kind when I say 3. It was really 2. Celtics and the Lakers, but I will throw Philly a bone.
