Not anyone here, but you'd be surprised. Tons of people claim it.
Can he become the greatest by the time he's done? Maybe. But he only has a few more years left before his decline.

Just like I can't look at anything involving the Celtics from an objective perspective.

The heck was that toward the end? Like five minutes left in the game and Scott Brooks puts in the third string, while Spoelstra leaves the starters in until about three minutes left. Nice to see Cole Aldrich do work on D-Wade down low though, haha. Royal Ivey was also showing off his shooting ability a bit. =P Wasn't a fun game overall, honestly. The Thunder just didn't show up. In the previous games only bits and pieces would show up, but they never played as the team that got them there. They were never all there at once, not even a noticeable portion of them tbh.
quote deeploveHa, too bad the Heat didn't play that OKC team. Instead they played a weaker, more streaky team. Similarly, OKC was matched up with a completely different team than Miami had played with up until that point. They weren't draining their three's as well as they were able to throughout every game of the finals. Two different teams showed up to play in the finals than we saw throughout the playoffs. =\OKC was the "Best" the West could bring.
Anyway, glad that Battier got his ring finally. Always liked the guy, and one of the few reasons I'm not mad the Heat won. Nice to see Howard get his finally as well. LeBron, eh, couldn't really care too much. Nice that he has a ring and all, but not too fussed overall. Nice to see him shake hands with everyone after the game, unlike Wade who pretty much made a quick exchange and jumped up to celebrate. I guess he was too excited to care though, which is understandable. Chalmers needs a reality check. Mike Miller I don't care too much for, but man did he have a nice performance. His performance tonight was something I was hoping out of Peja Stojakovic in last year's finals.
Well, congrats to the Heat, the Thunder will be around for years to come, and hoping that KG will stay a Celtic (and if not, go to a team I like) during the offseason.

Woke up at 6am to drop the wife off to the airport with the daughter. I have 6 days to myself. I'm sleepy. Went to sleep at around 4am.
Where to begin...Oh yeah...
NBA Champs Miami Heat.
God that sounds nice. Dragonfist, I'm headed to the store in Triple A arena. Championship items go on sale today. So I'll be getting mine.

Scott Brooks is classy. Telling his team to go congratulate the Heat. That's class. He earned my respect.

Glad LeBron finally got one. I really liked when he shut Chalmers up when he started talking in the third. He turned into a completely different player this year, and that's why the Heat won. And the Thunder just got a short end of the stick. How many times is Mike Miller going to go for 7 threes and how many times is the team going to hit 14? Unfortunate for them, but whatever.
Jon Barry is a complete *bleep*tard when he said there's an arugment to be made for LeBron being the greatest ever. But then again it is Jon Barry.
And Stuart Scott needs to go away.

*bleep* the heat.
OKC lost because they focused more on iso plays than ball movement. Too much dribbling. Harden had a terrible series. Had he have shown up like normally, this could have still been going. THIS is why I wish the Spurs could have made it through. More disciplined and battle tested and unselfish. This series was boring.

Miami's just great, isn't it deeplove? Love our city. Gonna go to the parade myself! And Jecht44, OKC lost because they had no answer for LBJ's relentless drives to the rack, and postups. He wreaked so much havoc that their defense was pretty much non-existent in Game 5. But it's all good. They're champions.

Dragonfist never said world champs, but being the best team in the best league in the sport is good enough to be called world champions.
