Would absolutely love to see OKC win; esp since Harden is my boy.

Just to clarify, you can't be the most dominate team in the NBA over a 2 year span if A) you have never lead the league or even your conference in wins
B) Not won a championship
As a fellow LSU Fan, I can tell you hold the same "blind love" for your NBA teams as most in BR hold for their Tigers. Big reason why sometimes I'm ashamed to associate with sports fans in Louisiana.

Blind Love. That's quite the assumption for someone who does not even know me.
We appear to have one thing in common, I think your post is the dumbest post I have read in a while as well.
What part of "history" and "championships" do you not understand
LBJ has neither on his side at this point.
Since you seem to lack the cognitive skills to be able to tell the difference between things with multiple championships over decades and one thing that has no championships, let me put this to you in even simpler terms. Until LBJ has multiple titles, he cannot be in the same discussion as Magic, Bird, Jordan, Kareem, Russell and Kobe as among the greatest of all time. If he were to retire today, he can be in the same discussion as Barkley, Malone, Nash, etc.
Barkley, Malone and Nash have essentially the same hardware as LBJ and no one talks about them being among the greatest of all time. The honor of being in that discussion belongs to a select few, all of which have won numerous titles and have been the primary driving force to their respective teams winning those titles.
"Stupid is as stupid does" Perhaps he should have waited until his career was over and let his career define if he deserves such a tatoo.

Agree to disagree I guess.

^are you serious. the best teams the last 2 years are pretty clear and simple for anyone with a brain.
2010, the lakers
2011, the macs
Thats kinda the point, the heat have some of the best players, no one argues that, they come up short in the big one. they beat a very old Celtics team by the skin of there teeth, they havnt dominated anyone but you act like they are breezing thru the playoffs/season. give it a rest
at the end of the day the heat have tremendous talent, they lack a coach and discipline and i bet money they come up short again. OKC is young, athletic, can match up with the heat and IMO better coached and more hungry to win it all.

By the way, I'm sure everyone is forgetting because of the tragedy of Derrick Rose's knee, but the Bulls were the dominant team this year in the East.

I went to two home games in the Boston series with good enough seats to actually see that game. We sucked, a lot. We were horrid on the foul line and made many mistakes. Knicks series wasn't too shabby.
I'll get off my soapbox now. Just wanted to rant and I had the oppertunity to do so. If anyone wants to continue to listen to me ramble or continue this PM me.
I was afraid of D. Rose last season when we went against them.

SVT not only do you come across like a gentleman in spite of the rants being thrown your way, you also spent BIG on those seats. I like the passion for your boys.

They were gifts - I wish
We usually sit here, a bit higher up but better food. Most importantly - Let's Go Heat!

Please tell me how Kobe has pushed him to another level. Give me numbers of him with and without Kobe.
FYI, Pau Gasol's production arguably went down since coming to the Lakers. So don't give me that BS argument about how Wade's and Bosh's numbers are down when LBJ went to Miami. CLEARLY, it has to when someone has to take a backseat when they are not the primary option.

Did someone with 3 post just say "you must be trolling"? Do you really think any of these players actually live in there cities outside of the season? Hell even Derek Jeter spends 90% of his free time in Flordia... If LBJ is still in Cleveland there would be other TOP NOTCH support players there... Why? because the quickest way for an AVG player to get paid is to play with a star and win a championship.
