wilt isn't considered in most goat convos anymore though. Dwayne Wade was better than lebron. if lebron didn't get so many phantom calls and didn't have so many calls that should've been made against him overlooked, he wouldn't have the types of stat lines he's had...especially this late in his career. he is completely being catered to by the NBA. he's an athletic freak and a good player. nothing more. in my eyes, he was the #2 player in all his championship teams.

edit: but don't get it twisted. fuck you @famicommander and fuck you nuggets.

C'mon man... don't make me defend LeBron. I know you don't believe that shit. Wade being better than LeBron is a bottom-of-the-barrel Skip Bayless take.

Every single great player benefits from preferential whistles so that's not really an argument. See: Wade, Dwayne 2006.

Damn I didn’t know Skip Bayless had a neo-geo.com account. All this Lebron hate is crazy. It’s still fuck the Nuggets 1 banner and these faggots act like a dynasty.

No one copied Jordan like Kobe. You can't be the goat if you just copy the goat without his defense. Kobe was a pretty good ball handler though.

Spree > Kobe

Spree even choked his coach.

I view myself less as a skip bayless and more of a bizarro world nick wright. for every sin nick commits I will do tenfold.

It isn't but Jordan was more physical and dropped 50 on the 90s Knicks or Heat. Jordan was one of the best defenders during an era when defense was still a thing. Young Shaq also wasn't ready for Olajuwon in his prime.

Jordan's DPOY & MVP in one season is still surreal. Copying the goat doesn't make Kobe a bum, Fami thinks. Especially when he was the best in it.
His Airness is the goat and there shouldn't be a debate. The only way you could beat the Bulls during the 90s was when MJ wasn't there or just returned.

So.. which way are you thinking after yesterday's game?
The latter. As per usual, they ran out of gas and effort late in the game after keeping it a close matchup. I see no reason why this would change.

1. FUCK THE LAKERS
2. These are actual things I've heard people get paid to say on television this week:
The Heat would still lose if they shot 100% from the field - Kendrick Perkins
They should intentionally miss a free throw up 3 points with less than 5 seconds left - Reggie Miller
The team that loses game 1 actually has the advantage - Richard Jefferson
The NBA should "look into" (Denver's) altitude - Nick Wright

Absolutely brutal shooting night for the Nuggets. 44% from the field, 23.5% from 3.
