I wholeheartedly believe the NBA community took LeBron James going to 8 straight Finals for granted. It takes a monumental effort to get there. The fact that it became routine is mind boggling. To this day he’s the most underrated competitor that’s ever played.
Rich Paul says Scottie Pippen was more impactful than MJ 👀
“I think Scottie’s rings are the same as Michael Jordan’s. He was the most impactful player on the team. If you unplug Scottie Pippen off that team, Jordan is 0-6”

Donovan Mitchell defends James Harden, saying that LeBron James and Michael Jordan also struggled on big stages
“Yeah, sure, has he had some rough moments? I’m sure we all have. LeBron [James] is one of the greatest players ever. We don’t really speak on the [Dallas] Mavericks [NBA] Final [in 2011] when he struggled [with the Miami Heat]. We don’t speak on [Michael] Jordan taking eight years to get to the Finals. We speak on the wins.”

Unpopular opinion:
This is how you respond.
The Spurs have been dealing with OKC’s flopping and aggressive play from players like Dort, Caruso and Hartenstein.
An easy way to increase your chances to win is to play physical.
I respect it man, don’t start what you can’t finish
Yall see how excited Knicks fans are they got to the finals ??
This same clown and many others clown Bron for having a losing finals record when getting there a big ass achievement lol
It’s teams that don’t make it there which is evident in this video
Jeff Teague says he’d drop 100 points in a WNBA game:
“I’d have Wilt numbers… I’m playing the whole game…. No disrespect to them but I’m 215, bro. A'ja Wilson probably weigh 200, sh*t I doubt that she probably weigh about 170. A'ja getting 46 and this is no disrespect you are cold. They can’t check her, they damn sure can’t check me. 100 ball.”
