Same. The media sure loves to change their narrative. First it was Mj VS Lebron and now all of a sudden they are bringing up Kobe? Just like the media has conviently changed the narrative on the East. How many times did we see that the raptors/wizards/celtics all had a chance to steal a series from the Cavs? The cavs go 16-1 (the one loss being a ridiculous collapse that still took a buzzer beater) and all of a sudden the east is trash and everyone knew the cavs would be in the finals. Bullshit, not what I heard from a lot of pundits back in February, March, and before game 3 of the raptors series.SportsAndLady;1855213 wrote:I've heard a lot of "Kobe vs lebron" lately in the media. Is that for real? Lebron passed Kobe years ago when he won a title being "the man".
Called it.ernest_t_bass;1852488 wrote:Cavs sweep either team. You heard it here first. They could also win in 5, or maybe 6, but they sweep. Calling it now.
Sounds like the CAVS are the GOP and the West is the left... /QOlike_that;1855227 wrote:Same. The media sure loves to change their narrative.

I am not a certified Kobe hater, I think he is great and loved his kill them all attitude, but I think Lebron has surpassed him. If you gave Lebron early in his career somebody as dominant as shaq, then Lebron would already be looking for his 6th ring this season.

People said this last year when the Cavs beat the all-time wins team with the first unanimous MVP coming down from 3-1 with only 1 all-start(Lebron). If he wins this year, and I think they have a good chance, people will make up additional excuses and set the bar even higher.BR1986FB;1855204 wrote:If the Cavs beat the Warriors, Lebron should be considered the GOAT. The Warriors are being touted as the GOAT "team" so, if the Cavs beat them, LBJ should be the All-Time GOAT.
You mention LBJ passing Jordan for the all-time scoring lead. A lot of Jordan supporters will cry "but Lebron has played in so many more games than Jordan." But, if you look deeper, LBJ surpasses MJ in the efficiency category. Yes, Lebron has played in more games but it took him 118 less shots than Jordan to score MORE points.
I know you are attempting to troll but you failed hard. I predicted sweeps in all series and was wrong on this one. Grow up.ernest_t_bass;1855233 wrote:Called it.
I wasn't always of this belief, but I've come around. His numbers, not just the scoring, show me. Plus, Jordan did not face the level of competition in the Finals that Lebron has.sleeper;1855239 wrote: Lebron is the best to ever play the game. Reality, it always wins.
