2009 NBA Conference Finals Thread

[Mexi]

this is for those who say the NBA is rigged.

look at all those Bron/Kobe stuff. Puppets, vitamin water, tv specials, etc.

I mean not to rip on basketball because I love it too, but baseball is king in NY.

So Rip are you saying that LeBron should go to the Pistons? Is that enough of an established core?

A team like Detroit. I don't know if Detroit would appeal to him though.

Knicks have nothing as of now, the Nets have Harris and and old VC but that is about it.
Cleveland is where he will most likely stay.

I think it would take another all-star caliber player to bait him into coming to NY. If another All-star caliber player comes then I think he will as well.

this NY talk is premature

now I do believe he's gone, but we still have another year.
lets just cool it

Another thing i love is that people forget that perkins gave howard trouble. Bynum can do the exact same. Only reason howard dominated the cavs like that first of all is they had nobody near as strong or athletic as him. Pau is a athletic big not on the same level. And bynum is just as strong. If he can force howard out of his comfort zone and make him shoot them ugly ass baby hooks its a wrap.

I wonder if Kobe opts out if the Lakers lose the Finals lol.

Yea your right. Man I cant wait for Kobe to come to NY this offseason, its going to be awesome! lol.

Bynum isn't even good, the most overrated player in the NBA.

Let's be real here though.

Michael never changed teams
Bird never changed teams
Magic never changed teams
Russell never changed teams
Kobe never changed teams

the ALL-TIME like top 5 players in NBA history have never changed teams besides probably Wilt but that was nearly 50 years ago.

In defense you could say they all got a title though. Most earlier in their career right? Could be wrong though.

quit being bitter

Michael didn't

it took him what, 6,7,8 years?

 

[RipCity32]

I think the Lakers lack a Bird Swag, the Magic have it.

Yea, but lets be real here as well. All those players that you have mentioned played for big markets. Chicago, Boston, and Los Angeles. And the one player that you mentioned played in Philadelpia, before going to LA. And you can add Kareem as well who played with the Bucks before going to LA.

I said most

 

[elcheato]

I'm not.. He just got payed huge, his defense is overrated, he isn't good on offense, every time he puts up a shoot he yells.. He really isn't that good.

 

[MapleLeaf]

Kareem?

smh 2 out of 5 lakers isn't enough? lol

 

[VC15]

Cleveland is where he will most likely stay.

Expect VC to be gone by the the trade deadline next year, but he is still very productive.
