Is there anyone in history you could replace Lebron with that would make them a favorite over the Warriors?

06, 08-10 kobe

86, 91 mike

87 magic

00 shaq

Maybe maybe not favorites, but damn close. and a higher probability of winning in my opinion.

Bottom line when going gets tough will lebby trust his coach or decide bro I'm coaching now have a seat Lue..Will Kerr say our philosophy is let lebby HAM and shut down every one else and tire him out..
 
At first I was like there is no one you could replace him with, but Shaq would be pretty interesting just because it would create so many mismatches offensively and defensive.  On one hand, the Warriors have no body that could guard shaq, but on the other hand watching shaq trying to switch on screens and guard curry would be hilarious.

I think OKC proved that the way to beat the Warriors is to out rebound and beat them up inside.

Is there a gif of someone trying to snatch the hat off of lebron's head during his ECF postgame interview? :nerd: :lol:
 
Dont apologize. You never once claimed that you "expect Lebron to singlehandedly beat the Warriors" like he claimed you did.

the question was who would make it more favorable and I answered. Young Mike or Young Kobe.

Naw, the question was who would make that team the favorites over this Warriors team. Not more favorable. Either way, both answers were silly.

Micheal Jeffery Jordan

when's the last time underdogs won the nba finals? i'm assuming 11 mavs and 04 pistons
does anyone have list of recent recent vegas odds for past series? right now it's +180/-220

Since 2004, here is a list of the underdogs beating the favorites in the NBA Finals

Bolded teams were winners that year

2004 Lakers Vs. [COLOR=#RED]Pistons [/COLOR]-500/+400

2006 Dallas Vs. [COLOR=#RED]Heat[/COLOR] -145/+125

2008 Lakers Vs. [COLOR=#RED]Boston[/COLOR] -120/+100

2011 [COLOR=#RED]Mavs[/COLOR] Vs. Heat +160/-180

2012 Thunder Vs. [COLOR=#RED]Heat [/COLOR] -160/+140



So now ONE poster saying LeBron has more talent around him than GSW does somehow equates to multiple people expecting Bron to singlehandedly beat the Warriors.

Strong logic.

It's LeBron :pimp:


I would comment but there is a high likely hood of a thread derail 

DO IT!

DO IT!

DO IT!

True but Shaq would basically foul whole team out..

My bad man, I wasn't singling you out or anything. Just continuing the conversation. The initial question was who could make them the favorites over the Warriors. I'll give ya MJ for making it MORE favorable, but def not the favorites to win it all. Young Kobe... I'm just not seeing that one.

Lakers lost 2008
 
may i ask why is it silly?

Because NONE of those guys would make this Cavs team the favorites over this current defending champion NBA record setting 73-9 team. Not sure what part of that don't you get.

Again, you did not understand his question. If you think it'll make the team more "favorable" than that's fine but dude asked what player would've made this Cavs team THE favorites if you replace Lebron with.
 
What use would the rest of the Cavs squad be if you replaced LeBron with 06-10 Kobe
