As much as I dislike CP3, that's coldblooded and just not right. CP3 is a damn good player, even if he is overrated. SAR was just an absolute phony. I put LA and SAR on the same level. CP3 hasn't won more than them, but he's most definitely a much better player than either of them could ever hope to be/have been.
The OP has a point though. HOF or not, neither of them have even made it to the finals, let alone conference finals. I'm not disputing they are elite, but of the elite, they are the bottom of the barrel in my book. Id consider them bordelrine frauds. Players the team and fans beleive are suitable to build around for a championship... however so far the fans and NBA have been wrong. We have been duped by these frauds.
It's not there fault they didn't advance. If it wasn't for them, they would never be IN the position to advance in the first place. And how is that a way to judge a players greatness? Adam Morrison and JR Rider have rings. Always wondered if people who use winning a ring as a way to judge how good a player is, has ever played competitive sports at a real level. They couldn't have and believe this.
Hold up now.... Bernard King wasn't no flopper!! And he played defense! Don't be disrespectin' his bones!
It's pretty much the way the game is already supposed to be played. Why do they need to "Crack Down". Should have been calling these already?
You would have to increase the amount of fouls allowed. Each team is only allowed 15 players. That gives you max 85 fouls until you can't put 5 guys on the floor.
But really it is in part, thier fault. I mean what are we talking about here? Individual stats? Meh. What makes a superstar or MVP in my book is not just the stats the player puts up but how much better they elevate thier teammates. Lebron had zero help the first year he took the cavs to the finals. The best of the best also elevate those around them. Harden and cp3 have proven to not be able to do this this far. Frauds.
