Nah you're just really mad about LeBron facing the critiques he has. Its extremely obvious lol.

Kobe over LeBron is trolling dawg. Like ranking Derek Jeter over Arod. You're the one bringing up LeBron in a thread about Heat vs Cavs in 2025 btw :crazy: but yeah I'm the fuming one


Because her opinion differs from yours she is trolling? :lol:

Random question. Anyway I'm not personally a fan of "blowing it up" for picks because I don't want to sit through another 07-08 type season, and "firsts" in a nutshell without knowing the team, protections, etc. means nothing. If you're hellbent on an answer, the more interesting hypothetical for me is "would you move Herro, Bam, whoever for x player or y player?"


Would you move Bam and Herro for Giannis?

Yep

Kobe was 5-2 in finals. Please remind the class what LeBron's finals record is. You can even include the one where there were no fans and no travel. Hope this helps!

And yes, you are.

You are giving Kobe credit for having one more ring because he was lucky enough to be able to win a series he played worse than LeBron did in 2011 in :crazy:

LeBron > Kobe in terms of overall legacy.


But Kobe > Curry.

Poor roster construction is what did us in ultimately.


With Anderson and Love included we get closer to $85M-$90M this is just flat out terrible roster construction. No way around it

If someone in the year 2025 tells you Kobe is better than LeBron it’s a dead giveaway they don’t got a fuxkin clue what they’re talking about lol

So is people saying Bam is a bad player tbh. Same people ironically!

I think Lebron is better than Kobe.

Threepeat Shaq was best player in the league. I think there's a couple guys in that era you could have replaced Kobe with and Lakers still threepeat. McGrady and Iverson come to mind. I'm not saying they had a better career than Kobe, but for those years I think they might have been.

Nah Curry is the only player who has made me question if LeBron was the best. He's that good. I don't like the guy but I respect him so much as a player. He's underrated af imo.

That too.. Kobe was Alpha.. Lebron is Beta most of his career looking for scapegoats (coaches he ran off, various good players etc)

Yeah Randle over Bam makes less sense than Kobe over LeBron. I can at least see how people draw the Kobe conclusion (rings, espn narrative). Randle is better than Bam at what exactly? Iso midrange bricks?

Return to Miami Heat
