LeBron The Greatest of All Time?
-
Whoa pump the brakes. Not saying it was't a good Finals or that other fans don't care but to say that "1 in Cleveland is worth 10 anywhere else" is a bit much. It was a very solid series but don't think this will go down as one of the greats unless you are a Cleveland guy.
I stand by that comment. That one is worth more than 10 anywhere else was in reference to LeBron & the city of Cleveland. His Championships in Miami didn't mean diddly-doo to Cleveland fans. The hometown kid coming back and winning one meant everything to NE Ohio in particular, and the state in general. Ohio hadn't had a Championship in a major professional sport in 26 years- the 1990 Cincinnati Reds, though the Indians came oh so close in 1997. We've been living off of Ohio State's college greatness.
With Cleveland's history of epic flops- it would have been sooo Cleveland if Kyrie had missed that three, and Curry drained one with a second left.

Fair enough

Lebron absolutely. Kyrie and Curry, no chance.
Maybe not in your opinion....but maybe in the opinion of those who matter. Curry already being talked about in those terms. Premature, yes.

Curry isn't even close to CP3. He's 28 and his first 3 seasons are laughable when talking about the game's greats. He's a product of our fast food, social media culture.

Exactamundo. I compared him to Pistol Pete Maravich- and Step is gonna need a couple more years to pass old Pete in points. LOL, he hasn't even cracked the top 250 in scoring yet. Hell, even if LeBron retired right now, Curry would need another 8 seasons of 2,000+ points to catch him. That would put him at 36, and you have to wonder with his build if his body will hold up that long. Yeah, when he's on, he's the best three point shooter- probably ever.

OK, to a certain extent....but if he continues to perform the way he has the last few years........NO ONE has ever shot the ball as well as he perhaps ever.....he could begin to reach to that level.
I also don't think you will get many people to say that they think Chris Paul is as good as Curry now.

Lebron will unanimously be the GOAT if he can beat the 2017 warriors.

I have a hard time believing that really. The spurs are weaker and their other biggest competitor joined them.

Spurs and Clippers will still be tough. No doubt Warriors heavy favorites.
And FYI...the one team that could really make a big leap into contention: The Minnesota Timberwolves.
Andrew Enders Wiggins
Karl Anthony Townes
Ricky Rubio
Kris Dunn may become the best player out of this recent draft.
Zach Lavine.
Tom Thibodeaux as HC.

Usually takes a year or two of playoff experience for the young 'uns to get their act together. 2017 postseason- they're not ready for prime time. MHO

Mavs just got a lot stronger though. Bogut & Barnes. Dirk hasn't slowed down yet either. Their front court is every bit as good as GS, but can the guards stay with the Dubs?

It was in the works for awhile Gip. When GS got Durant, they dropped Barnes like a lead balloon. Had to get rid of Bogut too- in a salary dump.
Same reason Wade isn't coming to Cleveland- we'd have to unload a big salary to afford him.
