    LeBron is way better than Kobe ever was. I've never seen a player make scrubs look like high level role players like LeBron has, all while averaging some insane numbers.

    Anyone who puts Kobe over LeBron is obviously either a Laker fan or a LeBron hater.

    Fractured knee cap...it's not looking good for the Cavs..Steph Curry is going to have record numbers. Get out the brooms!

    All people will look back on are the number of rings, finals MVPs and regular season MVPs they had. Right now, LeBron is what, 50% win percentage in the finals? Not really good on his "legacy".

    He is 2-3 probably gonna be 2-4 in the finals but the dude has gone to 5 straight, that's intense.

    I think finals appearances mean something. LeBron has played some crazy good teams in the finals too.

    '07,'13,'14 Spurs
    '11 Mavs
    '12 Thunder
    '15 Warriors

    No, it doesn't mean jack shit when you're talking about the Greatest Players of All Time. No one looks at who they played. Only how many times they've won. Zero excuses. We're talking about an elite bunch here. The reason why Jordan is considered the GOAT is that he was undefeated in the NBA finals. No one will be able to touch him ever because of that.

    Whenever a great team like the Warriors comes up in discussion, the natural discussion is "Jordan's Bulls would have wiped the floor with them".

    This Warriors team would have given Jordan's bulls a run for their money. I could see them winning it, to be honest.

    Let the flame war begin!

    All I'm saying is if LeBron wins THESE finals without Love or Kyrie, I think he, at a minimum, moves into a tie with Kobe on the GOAT list (speaking on a historical standpoint).

    The question posed was "This year's Warriors"... we're talking one year. So, I guess my point was valid.

    Hey, we can do that for any team. This year's Hawks in the first half of the season could be Jordan's Bulls! Hell, this year's Blazers in the first quarter of the season could be the Bulls! (since we're talking about teams that haven't even won anything yet)
