Can it get any worse than the manufactured Mickey mouse cereal box ring?

HCA don't mean much in this era, especially when a team didn't have a center on their roster outside of Hayes...We saw in each of the last 3 years a team making the finals with 0(heat and mavs) or just one time(pacers) the hca,so gave me a break with that

If LeBron gets Luka to the finals that will top Kyrie getting Luka to the finals.

I hope this is sarcasm….either that or you didnt watch a single Mavericks game during the 2023/2024 nba season if you think Luka was carried by Irving.

Not going to happen so you don't have to worry.

But it would be a testament to LeBron being willing to be Pippen.

Something he failed at in 11 with Wade carrying them.
