Left the team because it was going to be bad, then came back to the same team because they are good. That doesent even ..... Lol
As long as we agree that Lebron isn't the GOAT than I am ok.
Rubio? Ricky Rubio?!I never said he was. I think there are a handful of players who are at the pinnacle of the game and calling one better definitively better than another is ridiculous. Lebron, Baylor, Jordan, Kareem, Rubio, Wilt, Magic, Shaq etc... There's no ranking these guys. They're all equally valid of being number one as the next. Some were simply in better situations and in Jordan's case, had the marketing behind him to brainwash an entire generation into thinking there can never be another player as good as him.
I didnt hear it here first, that rumor has been fling around for awhile.You heard it here first, Dwayne Wade to the Cavs next year + championship.

I actually believe that one on one, in each of their primes, Lebron would beat Jordan in a regular game.
But if they were playing against each other for a title, Jordan would win hands down every time.
Jordan played every game like it was his last while Lebron shifts his game from full out bull rush the basket, deft j shooter to patient passer, to disinterested little f***ing passive girl who acts like his teammates, refs or coaches are letting him down.
Its quite excruciating to watch this prima donna play sometimes.
This hard Land pointed out he went straight from high school to the pros and that is a mistake in the whole basketball development program. Lebron never learned how to be a good teammate.
Imagine if he did go to college for at least 2 years?
I know Kobe didnt either but he was such a natural shooter and copied his entire game on Jordan, had help from Shaq who also helped Wade and had an injury free Bynum, and Pau Gasol.
So yeah, statistically speaking, Lebron is crazy good, but a good teammate and a winner at the highest level? Jury is still out on that.
its easier to win a title and you don't really have to be a good teammate when you have two of the best all stars in the last decade on your team.Kobe didn't had Bynum in the 2008 finals.
A good teamamte? His former team aka Miami Heats aint good for him?
If you want to say Lebron chased championships or quit on his team then you have to say the same about Jordan. The guy was a coward. He quit on the team and left to play baseball because he knew they weren't going to be good anymore. Then he comes back when the team is good to chase more championships. What a fraud.
Ricky is a good playmaker but he can't shoot at all and I don't he will ever develop a decent jump shot. He reminds me of Rondo.
He's dominant in all other phases of the game (other than shooting). His nickname in Minnesota is The Magical Unicorn.
Enough said.
You need to lay off the crack pipe. If Rubio's in your top 10 list, then how come the Wolves are willing to trade him? Not even peeps on insidehoops.com or realgm.com have him in their top 25 all player list. He's more in the top 50 list and top 10 pg list right now.
Now that basketball is over it is going to be a slow wait till Football kicks off. Dog days of summer are here.
Think it is funny right after the Finals it is "will Blatt still have a job in Cleveland." Just have no head coach and let LeBron call all his own plays and call his own timeouts and make subs on the fly.
Also saw the other day they think Duncan and Manu will back one more year with the Spurs. Duncan had a great year and put up some good numbers in round 1 for his age. Glad he will be coming back if he does.
I predict that MN will win more games next year. If only they were in the East.....People do realize that the lottery winning T Wolves last year were the most injury burdened team during the regular season right? No team in the NBA lost more games to injury than the Wolves. Also, as a result, Wiggins and Lavine were playing out of position all year long. Wiggins going to benefit greatly by playing alongside a ball dominant, pass first PG like Rubio. Flip ran plays for Wiggins last year like he was Lebron and Wiggins isn't that type of player.

I'm very risk adverse when placing bets.Shouldn't be too hard considering they won only 15 games last year....
