@TheWojBombers @Coopz___ Outside of Ant and Mitchell and maybe Booker (although Booker played like trash this playoffs), what SG is better than Reaves?

Top 5 SG in the whole league, maybe Top 3 next year and you talk like he is just average

[startingvbasketball @startingvbasket]

@MythNix It was exactly the same team/coach/everything! You cant get more similar that that and they were def champs at the time

I dont expect Bron to be better than Kobe but Kobe just proved the SA def wasnt so impossible to score against and it proves SA couldnt guard Kobe the same way

[startingvbasketball @startingvbasket]

@MythNix Not the same wtf man stop lying.

Spurs in 07 had Duncan, Parker, Manu, Bowen, Finley, Oberto, Barry, Horry, Vaughn and Bonner.

And 08 had the same 10 guys!!!

They just had extra bigs Kurt Thomas+Udoka on top

So yes EXACTLY the same team!

And Kobe at 22 did even better vs SA!

[startingvbasketball @startingvbasket]

@MythNix Ok so you finally admit Bron was shit! Yeah he got swept and whooped like no other team before and yes Kobe dominated the same Spurs team in 08 and yes Kobe at 22 avg 33p over 50% FG vs SA TWIN Towers. But still saying asshole and piece of shit is a bit harsh..2011 was worse!

[startingvbasketball @startingvbasket]

@MythNix I cherry picked one series? Wtf it was YOUR post about 2007/2011!! I was literally replying to your topic and series of choosing!

And you come back with a random 97 series which MJ still played much better avg 30 and won 4-1! It had nothing to do with anything!

Unbelievable

[startingvbasketball @startingvbasket]

@MythNix Lmfao cherry pick 1 series and MJ still avg 30 and the Bulls dominated the series!

Bron was SWEPT and MJ won 4-1! And you ask why the guy swept who played terrible is criticised!

Has Bron ever been criticized winning 4-1? Wouldnt MJ be criticized if he lost 4-0? Be serious!

[startingvbasketball @startingvbasket]

@MythNix Bron was free to rise from midrange anytime...and he tried but missed. His teammates shot 43%, 36% on 3s while Bron was 35% FG 20% 3P and 4-26 on midrange shots (15%) 😂

I mean just admit he played shit, it's so lame with the excuses but but the other team defended him too good!

[startingvbasketball @startingvbasket]

@MythNix Omg your undertsanding is severely lacking. Plugging the lane means sagging back which means open midrange shots...how can you deny the friggin tape and his shooting stats? These are facts not opinions.

And to say the lane is more clogged and more bigs then 90s? 😂 0 bball IQ!

[startingvbasketball @startingvbasket]

@MythNix He said Spurs were 'NOT giving him driving lanes that he is used to'...um that means they are sagging back crowding the paint and encouraging midrange shots over driving to the rim. Sticking to the game plan meant sticking to single coverage, no doubles and pack the paint! Ydkb

[startingvbasketball @startingvbasket]

@MythNix Showing this shows a real lack bball IQ. Everything posted was talking about how they took away drives and crowded the lane which is exactly the same meaning as sagging back and allowing open midrange 2s on single coverage.

Every shot he missed is on tape, how can you deny it?

[startingvbasketball @startingvbasket]

@FGawd0517 @Monopoly_Mike @Bruce_Lee_Royy Yeah Shaq is the 1 other Top 12 guy that played on more than 2 teams, but the other 10 guys never had a chance or wanted to leave to make super teams...so it is stupid to act like every legend played on 3+ teams but didnt win. You are comparing Bron to lower guys not the Top 10

[startingvbasketball @startingvbasket]

@FGawd0517 @Monopoly_Mike @Bruce_Lee_Royy West was never treated like he made 9 Finals....he was treated like he won 1 title! Bron fans will say 9 finals 1-8 is better than Jordan 6-0 cos he made 9 instead of 6!

The 8 Finals losses didnt help West's legacy...it hurt it.

[startingvbasketball @startingvbasket]

@FGawd0517 @Monopoly_Mike @Bruce_Lee_Royy Yes I agree but I just dont believe his finals losses should be used as a legacy case when it never was before..especialy since he always got whooped or swept and most of the finals werent even close

Talk 4 titltes/4 FMVPs all the stuff you said and use that to compare to others

[startingvbasketball @startingvbasket]

@FGawd0517 @Monopoly_Mike @Bruce_Lee_Royy I never understood this flex when none of the top 10 legends played on 3 teams and most stayed with their original team and didnt need to make super teams

Jordan, Kobe, Magic, Bird, Russell, Duncan, Curry, Hakeem, Kareem none of them played on 3 teams and those are the best ever

[startingvbasketball @startingvbasket]

@MAGA53826 @zhao_dashuai Check this out for the truth. Nobody else really reports these facts.

[startingvbasketball @startingvbasket]

@FGawd0517 @Monopoly_Mike @Bruce_Lee_Royy 4 x champ is great so stick to that and compare that with other greats 6 for MJ/Kareem or 5 for Kobe/Duncan/Magic or 4 for Shaq/Curry and know your place.

Finals appearances is lame af, West made 9 finals but it is treated negatively cos he lost 8 of them!

[startingvbasketball @startingvbasket]

@Thechat101 This is the dumbest shit ever...star players score MUCH MORE pts now then in the 90s and 2000s 😂

30pts and 30ppg is piss easy now compared to before so of course all the best scorers back then would score more now. Common sense

[startingvbasketball @startingvbasket]
