Jumpman really isn't personally attacking UnchartedDrake

Because all UnchartedDrake ever talks about is Lebron

You really cant have a conversation with him that doesn't involve Lebron

I wonder if he'll even be a basketball fan after Lebby retires. Guarantee his son's middle name is Raymone.

Or because we are talking about basketball and my fav players team is still in the playoffs....unlike-- nevermind.

Does it make you upset that I talk about Lebron? Lol mute me then problem solved.

 

[freeze]

and/or maybe good players like playing where there is good competition? keeps them honest and makes them better. Dudes aint tryna be knicks just for the sake of being knicks fam.

or maybe they dont wanan face lebron? or maybe if more of them come around then it'll be more balanced cause clearly its lopsided right now. or maybe....or maybe
lol
....
.....

As sorry as the lakers are you would think people like you would refrain from these kinds of threads.

 

[mister friendly]

I dont think it has to do where NBA players want to live it just that Eastern Conference teams have such bad management

What Eastern Conference teams have been managed right?....Heat, Celtics, Bulls, Pacers

In Western Conference theres a bunch of teams that have been managed correctly

im sorta running my lips but all im saying is, thats a geographic issue (how players would rather live in the west coast) not lebrons.............if its such a problem the nba should do something about it.  and sometimes one player can determine your career, im not saying lebron is jordan but ask drose about that thus far in his career. 

and lebron's team historically have had a pretty good record against the west? i know its different than facing them night in and night out but it is what it is.

Dudes constantly make fun of you because all you ever talk about is Lebron

They aren't always mad about Lebron.....Its a one trick pony, its basically what people accused DBD or Ryanjumpman of,except you don't post as much

No it does not bother me....I just find it funny and kinda weird

 

[uncharteddrake]

Insults will never bother me, because more than likely it's the 35+ year old men with no families of their own who live in a basement who love to insult people over the Internet. It's funny to me tho, because you can tell they do it to make other men laugh and to get reps on a shoe forum. Lol so keep up the insults, I'll keep talking about how my fav player Bron is the best out here in the NBA.

Not sure what shaq has to do with the quality of WCF opponents

not sure what kobe got to do with lebron. Kobe aint sniff playoffs in years yet posting stats right?

lets break it down nice and simple so all the kids can understand

the topic was: lebron has had easy opponents because he is playing in the east

in order to define what "easy" means we have to compare his opponents to western conference finals opponents

a stat was brought up that suggests lebron's ECF opponents have been way worse than both duncan and kobe's WCF opponents 

do you understand how this new information adds to the conversation? 

you bring up

1. kobes teammates (nothing to do with the skill level of opposing teams)

2. kobe not making the playoffs in years (nothing to do with the skill level of opposing teams)

learn to take a L and stop trying to change the subject because you have no real response to a counter argument.

here's some more playoff opponent stats to think about:

average seed of lebron's first round opponents: 6.2

total record of lebron's first round opponents (10 seasons): 404-400

total record of the west's 8th seed for each of those years: 455-349

he's had it easy playing in the east his entire career 

 

[MVP]

Just look at all the stars and superstars in the league, I'd say 90% are in the West. Either drafted or traded and just chosen to stay out there. Some people really still enjoy competition.

your're trying too hard.

it's the playoff thread not the billy madison debate.

[sea manup]

demarcus is a borderline allstar in the west while 4 hawks are eastern allstars

he took too many steps

 

[a-friend]

The Bulls lost to Cleveland this year, that's not a knock.

That Bulls team could run with any team in the West the same way if not win a series or two depending on Matchups.

The best East teams make it and are qualified to lose in the rounds they lost in, you're feeding the narrative as much as the media does, you are.

Jalen Rose stated that the run Lebron is currently having is as dominant a run as Mike had....

1) Lebron has lost in the finals 2/4 times
2) Look at the competition Mike was playing in the east compared to the competition Lebron has played in the east.

I mean statements like that are honestly disrespectful.. Lebron is a dominant player yes, but they try to force this guy to a pedastal without making him earn it.

He stated it was as dominant?
I can see why he'd say dominant.

He didn't say "as impressive"
He said, according to you, as dominant.
There is a difference, and within any context of dominance, can't be disrespectful.
A beat down is a beat down, Lebron is winning every year, dominating, In a sense, isn't he?

demarcus is a borderline allstar in the west while 4 hawks are eastern allstars 

Korver and Lowry were Eastern Conference All-Stars and those dudes have totally disappeared in the playoffs

if Cousins ever makes the playoffs, he'd probably avg 30-20-5 and get swept tbh

 

[JPS]

Lebron is the best player in the league and hes disappeared numerous times in da playoffs
