I dont mind most of the stars tried to dislike lebron back in the day but hes boss. Westbrook is a beast at times but niggly and melo just annoys me. Makes it hard as i follow OKC as long as adams is there. Green is basketballs gregan (not as great though) but you want him on your team.
KD i dont hate but dont support wish he didnt jump to golden state. Unbelievable athlete.

Never been a Harden fan. Couldn’t stand him even when he was a Sun Devil. He can play offence no doubt and D’Antoni’s system is made for his game.
My like for CP3 has been up and down over the years.
Capella is a gun. That boy is going to get paid big time soon.
The big thing for the Rockets will be defending Steph and Klay. Whereas the Warriors will run a good diet of Klay, Livingston and even Iggy at Harden. Steph has usually played CP3 pretty well over the years.

@magpie_in_aus Yep very cool. Was a shame he couldn't stay in Toronto and stay injury free.
Meanwhile Celtics just destroyed the Cavs in Game 1 of the ECF.
Somehow Celtics coach didn't get 1 vote from his peers for coach of the year - the dude is the best coach in the league.

He doesn't strike me as the type of guy who cares. Very humble, super smart and his players would run through a wall for him

Its so weird. Two big signings both injured. In CF and just dominated game one. No love....

If they win game 2 the alarm bells might start ringing quietly in CLE

This whole season was fun, but one wonders if GSW might just stand up and show their class, and in turn giving a big middle finger to the Sixers/Raptors/Rockets/Thunder/Cavs/Celtics/anyone who dared to dream in 2017/18.

Not really close on paper. They will flick the switch now and it will be lights out for Houston in 5 or 6 games

I can't be bothered starting up a new thread, the US supreme court are in the process of legalizing sports gambling on a federal level. It baffles me as to why they haven't opened it up earlier

The game today was ridiculous. I only caught the first half but it made every other play-off game look like the NBL.
Big players making big plays, over and over again.
I fear the Finals will be a let-down compared to this series.

Houston's iso offense was put under serious pressure by the warriors. They forced at least 4 shot clock violations I can recall. GS's team ball is harder to guard

Just saw the trailer dropping next year a MJ 30 from 30 called 'The Last Dance'

Question: Who is the GOAT? Probably deserves its own thread but there are too few people on the fern that take more than a passing interest in the NBA.
Arguments for MJ, Kobe or Lebron......and go!
@raznomore Lebron for me, longevity and consistency and all-round game. MJ retired, played baseball, d1cked around and then went to the wizards. Kobe was amazing but less well-rounded and was second fiddle to Shaq for his first 3 rings. Yes I know Lebron had Bosh/Wade at Miami but he was still the undisputed leader and go-to guy on all his teams.
Not directly basketball related but I really admire how LBJ is off the court, married his high school sweetheart, had a kid at 18, generally kept it all together despite crazy amounts of fame and money from an early age. Plenty of other people would've gone full Tristan Thompson at some point..
-
Bill Russell - 11 rings in 13 years including the last 2 as player/coach.
I'd go LBJ as well. I'm sure many would choose MJ, and while he was 6 for 6 with the Bulls, his teams didn't even make the finals in 9 other seasons. Lebron has taken some average teams to the finals when they had no business being there.
