Nothing that I say will change your opinion so there was no point in responding to it. You believe what you believe and that's fine. I think you're completely wrong, and I'm sure you think I am too.

Enjoy this last year with George before he goes to LA.

You really are clueless lmao. Kobe hit his prime after Shaq left. Even with Shaq he still averaged 30 ppg. He played 12 years with the Lakers after Shaq left. He averaged more than 30 in 2 of those seasons. He put up 2 of his 4 highest ppg WITH Shaq. What stats were you wanting me to look at again?

The media's pushing the "Durant's better than LeBron" narrative so hard now. Like no. Durant's team went 18-4 without him this year. That's a 67 win pace. They won 73 games without him last year. He's putting up good numbers on the most stacked team in modern NBA history. He doesn't have to work hard for his points because there are 3 other all-NBA players on the court with him that they have to worry about too. He's a cog in their machine. The workload between him and LeBron isn't even close. . Durant's a great player and if he was doing this against LeBron with OKC, or really any team other than Golden State then there'd be an argument, but he's not.Lebron's gonna average a 30 point triple double on 50%+ shooting and the narrative after the finals will be "he'll never be better than Jordan" and he's "washed" as a superstar.

Curry double dribbled on the play where he "shook" LeBron.

By all accounts he's been a model citizen his entire career. Works with a ton of charities, great father figure, uses his celebrity to push for change. So yeah, despite your sarcasm, pretty great guy off the court. As a basketball player, to each their own, but off the court the league could use more guys like that.

Once LeBron retires I probably won't watch anymore. When I was younger I could watch all day long and never get bored, but I can't remember the last full non-LeBron game I watched. There's no parity so if you aren't a fan of the top few teams it sucks.

I hate the play where a guy gets fouled and then throws up a ridiculous shot to get the free throws, or pump fakes and jumps into the defender to draw the foul. It happens all the time now and it irritates me so much.

You're just mad that LeBron beats the Pacers in the playoffs every single year.

Enjoy the rest of your night.

Yeah I still don't know how Presti screwed that up, but the team he had was good enough to go up 3-1 on Golden State last season. Then he choked and ran away to the team that beat him.

Honestly man I'm trying to refrain but your hatred for LeBron leads to ignorant posts. Here's a picture to help explain. He joined up with dudes to take out Boston. He didn't go join them.

I'm just upset at Durant honestly. He's a coward that had a championship caliber team and left to join the team that spanked him in the Conference finals.

Ugh this just sucks. LeBron going against these Warriors is like MJ going against prime Magic, prime Bird, prime Pippen and prime Reggie Miller in the Finals.

No idea haha, I didn't even realize there was someone talking in the background until you mentioned it. It was just the first video I found of that play.

Fully extends the forearm, no call. Screw this.

If the refs are going to be this bad I want the Cavs to start taking guys out. This is ridiculous

If that's the case why do you want IU to recruit your relative so bad?

"Hayward-esque as a Bulldog".... Cmon man. I'm sure he's a nice kid and a good player, but hyping him up that much to be something he's not isn't doing him any favors.

I agree. We have a good mix of upperclassmen and youth. I think Smith will be ready to contribute as a freshman. He has good size and athleticism. Davis being in shape should help him be able to stay on the court for the 25-30 minutes a game we need from him. As long as we stay healthy I see no reason why we can't have a successful season. We're gonna get to see right away what Archie's made of coaching wise.

Not sure if this has already been posted. http://www.indystar.com/story/sports/college/indiana/2017/06/01/sticking-around-town-gives-some-hoosiers-head-start-archie-miller/362356001/

So is this. I know they're from like a week ago but I stumbled across his Twitter account this afternoon.

This is pretty cool.

I understand that's the way people look at it, but it's a simpleminded approach imo. Too many variables go into winning a championship to use it as the end all, be all when debating players. I was watching the tnt NBA show the other day and Charles Barkley was talking about how if LeBron wins this championship he would consider putting him ahead of Kobe on his all-time list. Like really, Kobe Bryant? I can completely understand people putting Jordan ahead of him, but Kobe? Kobe was like the store brand version of Jordan. Kobe had the most dominating player I've ever seen in his prime as a teammate. Give LeBron prime Shaq and see how many rings the two of them win. He ignored the fact that LeBron is a better shooter, passer, defender, rebounder and teammate than Kobe ever was and goes straight to the "5>3, so Kobe>LeBron" argument. It just seems like the lazy way to argue for media talking heads that don't want to dive deeper.

I mean he was only there for four years and he won two titles. He made it to the Finals all four years. By the end of his time there he was carrying the team. In 2014 they lost 4-1 and he put up 28/8/4 on 57/52/79 shooting. Bosh and Wade COMBINED had 29/9/3.6 in the Finals. They were both supposed to be superstars at that point but no one ever criticizes them for coming up short. He puts up the same numbers as the other two superstars combined and still gets all the blame. He choked his first year against the Mavs, but that's the only Finals he should've won that he didn't. As for elevating his teammates, he does that more than anyone else in NBA history, imo. He took a team starting Drew Gooden, Boobie Gibson, Sasha Pavlovic and Zydrunas Ilgauskas to the NBA finals. He went 66-16 with Delonte West and Mo Williams as his starting guards
