    Doesn't matter. Jordan was an asshole who was lucky to have pippen, Rodman, kukoc, grant, etc. And Phil Jackson.

    He also played in a desirable city.

    You put Jordan in Cleveland to start his career and he would have been known as the 2 guard 'Nique.

    And not only do the announcers obsess about LeBron, they practically sound like homers for Cleveland.

    It does matter if you're too young to have watched Jordan's whole career. You have no idea what you are talking about.

    Van Gundy predicted the Warriors would blowout the Cavs tonight. Not exactly a homer.

    I think LeBron is more athletic than Jordan. And I think if LeBron wins the finals with this rag tag group, it should become a lot closer in everyones minds.

    I get it, but I wasn't your average four year old. I was reading box scores each morning in the paper and obsessed over basketball. I got to see his first and second threepeats. I watched a ton of his second threepeat team because Dennis Rodman was my second favorite player (first being David Robinson because I had his rookie card).

    Cavs have made life hell for them. The only time the Warriors have looked good is the OT period in Game 1. Otherwise, the Cavs have owned them.

    Who would have thought that the rest of the cavs would be good enough to hang, but they are faking it I guess, are they better without Irving and love?

    Kind of a kick in the nuts for lebron as a GM though, how nice would it be to have Wiggins right now, to go with a shitload of cap room after next year?

    I saw Jordan. I watched every damn Bulls championship. Jordan never did anything like what Lebron is doing now. Let us not forget that the Bulls won 50+ games with Pete Myers replacing Jordan. Jordan never won jack without Scottie Pippen AND Phil Jackson.

    Meanwhile, look at the Heat this season. Let's just say they didn't win 50+ games.

    Curry's MVP is looking a bit like David Robinson's did after he faced Olajuwon in the playoffs...

    I would trade LMA and Lillard for Lebron.

    That's 2 L's for 1 L, that seems fair.

    I don't blame him though. Rookies are a crapshoot. Looking back if Cleveland offered us Wiggins and Thompson for LA I wonder if Neil would do it.

    And this is why I'm not a betting man.

    Curry: 10 points, -18
    Delly: 15 points, +18

    Woo hoo! We're winning!

    For the same reason I dislike the Karashians and Apple, I dislike the Warriors. Because the fanboy media stuffs them down our throats.

    Man, if the Cavs had Phil Jackson as coach, they'd probably be winning their 97th straight game.
