Durant is only 23 & doing things so great that the torch is being passed from Kobe to Durant. Durant is going to argually be one of the best players in NBA history
Fukkn Skip is cracking me up with his lines: State Farm Is There "With A Clutch Gene" Lebron isn't even "LeRobin James he's more like LeAlfred James" I am busting out with tears right now hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...
HE SHOWED UP LIKE HE SHOULD, 9 YEARS IN AND ITS ABOUT TIME. BUT YOU KNOW DAMN WELL THE THUNDER ARE GOING TO MURDER THESE GUYS. SAD REALLY...I WAS ACTUALLY STARTING TO LIKE THE GUY AND HIS HAIRLINE LOL.
1.Jordan 2. Magic 3. Bird 4. Kareem 5. Wilt 6. Hakeem 7. Russell 8. Oscar 9. Shaq T-10 Duncan T-10 Kobe That would be my way of placing the top ten of all time
Dude, I know that. I just went for the heat because if the Celtics won, there would be no challenge for the thunder and it would be a blowout. I want to see a competitive finals, not a blowout.
but u have to know its durants 4th or so season. he won 3 scoring titles. he will be a major threat in the future because he is still perfecting his game. congrats to lebron. he had a great season as well as durant
Last time I checked, MVP doesn't take into account playoffs. And MVP = most valuable player, not most stat filled player. Durant had a great argument for the MVP like D Rose did last year. Same with Nash in the mid-2000s.
Other than Steven A Smith, Skip makes other folks on the set look small, petty, and often foolish. ESPN clearly realized this and, with the help of Social Networking suggestions, now has them toe to toe on a daily basis. It went from must DVR Wednesdays to must DVR every day. Best debate show since Hannity and Colbms or however you spell it lol. Semper Fi.
I'm not lacking any respect for Dirk, he had one of the greatest postseasons in recent history. But Terry, Kidd, Chandler, Marion, Barea, Beaubois, Haywood, and even Peja all had great postseasons. Without those players Dirk wouldn't have won that championship. Remember, your only as strong as your weakest link. And in those playoffs, the Mavs didn't really have a weak link.
last year i was saying it was wades team even if lebron would've had a better season i would still say it's wades team unless they won the finals & lebron was the reason but we all know what happened there...but this time lebron was the main reason they won so i think that should make lebron team captain now.
They do always talk trash but the man is defined in a place of hardship. The same goes for a basketball player so lets just say lebron is a good player with low clutch
I'll tell you this: LeBron is an excellent player yes, but he does tend to choke in the 4th quarter. That's when people question his heart, whether he wants to win or not. I've noticed something this year that he didn't do last year. He was clutch. Whatever happened to his leg last night, he came back and hit a BIG three. I believe KD is an excellent player, and he deserves to win, just not this year. I think this year James has to win. This is all coming from a Celtic fan. I love the game.
to add to that (I'm a Lakers Fan), Durant has no defense. Russell westbrook was spotty and needs to learn how to make better decisions and James Harden Perkins and ibaka didn't show up
the same way winning the triple crown doesn't indicate a great season in baseball...see if you dominate in too many facets of a sport then they all cancel each other out and it equates to a poor performance...now some may claim that such a stat would indicate that someone is a complete player, but they would be false.
Chris is talking about how oh the defense was bad, blah blah, the defense was bad. But despite that, the game was theirs to win, they had the lead, then Lebron came in and they lost the lead, yet the game was still in reach and LeBron still couldn't capitalize.
Durant isn't aggressive. Did you see game 5? He vowed to be more aggressive that game and his rebounding numbers shot up. Playing on the perimeter has nothing to do with it. Rondo for crying out loud gets rebounds and hes usually the smallest person on the court on the perimeter. Durant is a straight jump shooter while Lebron attacks the paint and dishes it out when they double team him for easy threes and assists. However, I will admit Durant is scary good for how young he is.
Playstyles/offenses= Diffrent stat results. People always say "Kobe's a ballhogger" little do they know he plays the triangle offense which doesn't give him opportunities like LeBron to average 6-8 assists like LBJ does. All through LeBrons cleveland career he was basically their point guard and in Miami he runs point guard plenty of times aswell. How often do you see Durant running PG? Not often cus Westbrook can take care of that. KD was leauges leading scorer once again btw
@lebron6theking he was "clutch" when there was no pressure, always folds when at the deciding moment. the game where he scored a 3 to tie the game and send heat to OT, I thought he broke out of his duck. but then at the last possession of OT, he missed an open 3 which almost lost the game. luckily they got the offensive rebound back to him, at which he tells wade to come over, passed the ball to him, and hide in one corner. this shows he KNOWS he cant take the pressure of the final shot.
I forgot how much of a shill Chris Brorssard was last year for Miami/LeBron. He's not nearly as bad this year. Rondo had a triple double in game 7 the other day and nobody is bragging about that. Who gives a shit about stats when you lose.
D-Wade should've stayed or Bosh should've stepped up, this is why lebron really isnt needed in Maimi when they already have someone who is just as good or even better like D-Wade D-Wade got robbed of so many awards like finals mvp, mvp, and defensive player of the eyar awards, d-wade needs more credit
Durant isn't aggressive until the fourth quarter. he gets all his team going before he starts scoring. Rondo gets rebounds because he hangs around the hoop more than Durant and Boston are a smaller team so its easier to get rebounds. When Durant get better at attacking he will be better than Lebron. Lebron went 10/56 in the finals off shots outside the paints. Also, Kevin Durant is a closer. Lebron doesn't have that.
well he led your heat to this championship...you can deny it if you want but facts show other wise..wade was injured & so was bosh so there was no confusion about who should be the leader.
If you haven't heard the term "point forward" in basketball then you dont know as much. Its not technically a position., but let me give you examples of "point forwards". LeBron James, Magic Johnson, Andre Iguodala, Scottie Pippen, Rick Barry, Larry Bird. All these guys are perfect examples of "Point Forwards"
No, that's wrong. Shaquille is something but not what he was years ago and he was hurt for most of the 05-06 season. I'm not saying he doesn't get them pumped, he doesn't push them to win. This year was probably the only year he has ever tried to really encourage his team to the level they needed to be, that's most of the point.
all im saying is that everyone loves to overhype jordan,kobe,shaq,duncan and none of the players they play with get any credit. Manu,pau,pippen and now when dirk wins his ring everyone else is getting the love. Chandler was on a team tied for 15th best record in the league and wins all defense. On this lame show all they talked about was what lebron and wade didnt do. For years i heard these "experts" and random bball players say dirk is weak and now when hes earn his do,"the mavs beat the heat"
Thats because they allowed him to penetrate too much and na I dont, I thought that was an interesting stat. You couldn't find a stat like that for Durant
LMAO LEBRON CLOWNED, BERATED AND RIDICULED FOR HIS INABILITY TO SHOW UP!!!! LOVEE ITTT!!!! GAME 7 TOMORROW LEBRICK, YOU BETTER SHOW UP OR ITS SKIP BAYLESS TIME AGAIN LOL.
not in that finals series. James Harden didn't show up. Westbrook made bad decisions, Durant didn't turn it on offensively in some games and had terrible defense. Serge was not there. and Perkins was useless. Thunder have a lot to learn. did great whole postseason but man did they get whooped by Miami
How many people posting comments on here know the difference and can accurately use in a sentence the following words... Too, to your, you're their, they're, there
I agree, Kobe, MJ, Magic, Bird, etc. are all over-hyped. That's why I'm consistent with my statements. The Bulls beat the Jazz in the 97 Finals. The Spurs beat the Cavs in 07. The Lakers beat the 6ers in 01. That's how I am, and that's how I think it should be seen. Like you said, Jordan doesn't win a championship without Pippen or Rodman. Kobe doesn't win a championship without Shaq or Gasol. And Dirk doesn't win a championship without Terry and Chandler.
it really isnt hard to lose if mike miller shows up with no feet and makes i believe it was 7 threes you are so wrong if u think kevin durant cant win a ring in the next 3-5 years, it's not like hes going to get worse, hes only going to get better and you know it
How is this man all hype when he has lived up to everything but a title????? We had to wait for kobe, jordan both to develop into the best ball players the world has ever seen. Lebron is 25 and has room the develop. You're watching a young man without a post presence, without the most dominate jumper, without the crossover game, or the most terrifying d But yet he still dominates most players in the league! All I'm saying is wait for the guy to develop and then judge his game.
the guy at 0:30 needs to shut up! the only thing I blame lebron for is at least TAKING miami to the finals! Without him, they wouldnt have made it to the finals!
the game isnt won in 12 minutes its won over a period of 48 minutes. Kevin durant had no impact on the last game untill the 4rth quarter. Lebron tends to have a huge impact on the game and shrinks in the final minutes but doesnt change that without him the game would have been lost. Kevin durants biggest problem is guarding quick players and lebron got him in foul trouble. Lebron is still better the kd now because kevin durant needs to do more then just score in the 4rth quarter.

the state farm joke was cold hearted man lmao
skip baylesss= every susan surandon movie back to back...let that marinate
lol "Like a good neighbor state farm is there With a clutch Gene." lol Skip is comedy. lmfao
Durant is only 23 & doing things so great that the torch is being passed from Kobe to Durant. Durant is going to argually be one of the best players in NBA history
Fukkn Skip is cracking me up with his lines: State Farm Is There "With A Clutch Gene" Lebron isn't even "LeRobin James he's more like LeAlfred James" I am busting out with tears right now hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...
i love watching these guys argue! lol
HE SHOWED UP LIKE HE SHOULD, 9 YEARS IN AND ITS ABOUT TIME. BUT YOU KNOW DAMN WELL THE THUNDER ARE GOING TO MURDER THESE GUYS. SAD REALLY...I WAS ACTUALLY STARTING TO LIKE THE GUY AND HIS HAIRLINE LOL.
I would factor in MVPs, personal stats, what records that player has held. My top 10 list would probably go like this:
1.Jordan 2. Magic 3. Bird 4. Kareem 5. Wilt 6. Hakeem 7. Russell 8. Oscar 9. Shaq T-10 Duncan T-10 Kobe That would be my way of placing the top ten of all time
Dude, I know that. I just went for the heat because if the Celtics won, there would be no challenge for the thunder and it would be a blowout. I want to see a competitive finals, not a blowout.
Bron Chokes in the bed room too lol
Chris Broussard was gettin heated
I've always thought that if you have a trip dub and yet you lose the game, it was totally pointless...
1:07 LOL
passing is whats going to get a player open, and there is not enough of that on OKC
but u have to know its durants 4th or so season. he won 3 scoring titles. he will be a major threat in the future because he is still perfecting his game. congrats to lebron. he had a great season as well as durant
Last time I checked, MVP doesn't take into account playoffs. And MVP = most valuable player, not most stat filled player. Durant had a great argument for the MVP like D Rose did last year. Same with Nash in the mid-2000s.
Chris Broussard is being contradictory in this one and much like most LeBron fans, he's all about the stats lol.
"Can't we all just get along?"

Dwight Howard Lebron James Hairline Jokes

Without those players Dirk wouldn't have won that championship. Remember, your only as strong as your weakest link. And in those playoffs, the Mavs didn't really have a weak link.
and even russell was "hogging" no one was helping him durant tried but just couldnt be as clutch as the 1st game
I just can't listen to white commentators who never even picked up a basketball but have the audacity to hate on NBA "Professional athletes".
"all you have to do is make some baskets" to bad its a lot harder than that
loll he puts an exclamation point after every 3 words!
Skips looks like a person in the transition stage of a sex change. I just respect grown men without facial hair...
chris broussard sounds like chris rock
holy shit this guys is going at it
last year i was saying it was wades team even if lebron would've had a better season i would still say it's wades team unless they won the finals & lebron was the reason but we all know what happened there...but this time lebron was the main reason they won so i think that should make lebron team captain now.
what tv show / channel can i find these guys, they know there stuff!
i think is the first time i agree with Skip=O
SKIP SPEWING THE TRUTH

I believe KD is an excellent player, and he deserves to win, just not this year. I think this year James has to win. This is all coming from a Celtic fan. I love the game.
Lebron went to south beach but he left his talents in Cleveland.....
After 4 1/2 minutes, its finally the girls turn to talk hahaha(;
Blame for Loss Chart
99.44% on Lebron
80% on Dwayne
@SunDevilzBasketball theyre on espn 2 in the morning not sure what time
to add to that (I'm a Lakers Fan), Durant has no defense. Russell westbrook was spotty and needs to learn how to make better decisions and James Harden Perkins and ibaka didn't show up
the same way winning the triple crown doesn't indicate a great season in baseball...see if you dominate in too many facets of a sport then they all cancel each other out and it equates to a poor performance...now some may claim that such a stat would indicate that someone is a complete player, but they would be false.
its a team sport theres a saying a man can win a fight but not a war
LeBron James decided to take his talents to Runescape but still got a ring.
Like a good neighbor state farm is there WITH A CLUTCH GENE lol
how 1 person can get 99 percent blame in a TEAM sport amaze me but this is what skip is paid to do smh
Chris is talking about how oh the defense was bad, blah blah, the defense was bad. But despite that, the game was theirs to win, they had the lead, then Lebron came in and they lost the lead, yet the game was still in reach and LeBron still couldn't capitalize.

NBA Fan Slogan: When something doesn't go our way, Blame the refs.
he should win he has 7 player on the court at all times
I am a huge Kevin Durant fan, but LeBron had one of the better seasons of his career. KD will get it next year.
skip was right this time, and chris was too busy dangling lebricks sack.
Love skip on this call! He is on the ball.
Yeah he did because he put up good numbers, but your stat line isn't the only thing that matters.
lebron is the best player in the league, and im a sacramento fan
@lebron6theking he was "clutch" when there was no pressure, always folds when at the deciding moment. the game where he scored a 3 to tie the game and send heat to OT, I thought he broke out of his duck. but then at the last possession of OT, he missed an open 3 which almost lost the game. luckily they got the offensive rebound back to him, at which he tells wade to come over, passed the ball to him, and hide in one corner. this shows he KNOWS he cant take the pressure of the final shot.
he is just telling it how it is, truth hurts! lol
I forgot how much of a shill Chris Brorssard was last year for Miami/LeBron. He's not nearly as bad this year. Rondo had a triple double in game 7 the other day and nobody is bragging about that. Who gives a shit about stats when you lose.

i like to see the guy in the purple get a triple double an see if its over rated. probably hasnt even touched a basketball in 20 years
Durant isn't aggressive until the fourth quarter. he gets all his team going before he starts scoring. Rondo gets rebounds because he hangs around the hoop more than Durant and Boston are a smaller team so its easier to get rebounds. When Durant get better at attacking he will be better than Lebron. Lebron went 10/56 in the finals off shots outside the paints. Also, Kevin Durant is a closer. Lebron doesn't have that.
I guess everyone forgot that this had nothing to do with Lebron James girlfriend sleeping...
so what are they doing with sessions cuz i thought sessions was a good pick up 4 them last year.
well he led your heat to this championship...you can deny it if you want but facts show other wise..wade was injured & so was bosh so there was no confusion about who should be the leader.
"He wasnt even LeRobin James, he wasnt even LeAlfred james"...nice batman reference skip

LeBron James, Magic Johnson, Andre Iguodala, Scottie Pippen, Rick Barry, Larry Bird. All these guys are perfect examples of "Point Forwards"
James is a big dude, he is suppose to do that, he only got the MVP because he can shoot the ball.
No, that's wrong. Shaquille is something but not what he was years ago and he was hurt for most of the 05-06 season. I'm not saying he doesn't get them pumped, he doesn't push them to win.

LMAO LEBRON CLOWNED, BERATED AND RIDICULED FOR HIS INABILITY TO SHOW UP!!!! LOVEE ITTT!!!! GAME 7 TOMORROW LEBRICK, YOU BETTER SHOW UP OR ITS SKIP BAYLESS TIME AGAIN LOL.
@dpAddikt well how do they get there?
Miami will win the championship this year BUT only if they take Lebron out in the 4th quarter
mvp's are won by individuals championship are won by a team if it wasn't for shaq he would only have two and he said that himself
lebron can do everything all durant can do is score.
i love how the woman tries to speak but gets shut up coz women know nothing about basketball.
" That's why Durant won't get a ring in the next 3-5 years.".....that comment is as stupid as the people who said lebron will NEVER win a ring.
The guy needs to calm down!
he's a realist
Skip's talking kinda big for somebody that can't muster the strength to lift a basketball.
not in that finals series. James Harden didn't show up. Westbrook made bad decisions, Durant didn't turn it on offensively in some games and had terrible defense. Serge was not there. and Perkins was useless. Thunder have a lot to learn. did great whole postseason but man did they get whooped by Miami
That white boy is pissed at lebron lmao
@5:06 How does a triple double NOT have an impact in a Basketball game???
You also mentioned LeBrons stats which is the same as mentioning triple doubles derp.
How many people posting comments on here know the difference and can accurately use in a sentence the following words...
Too, to
your, you're
their, they're, there
Chriss broussard needs to get off his Knees...

LeAlfred James... ouch!
skip to 6:30 to see that white black guy finally admit lebron aint all that
La Alfred James tho Lmfao!!!!!!!!!! Skip is a fool
it really isnt hard to lose if mike miller shows up with no feet and makes i believe it was 7 threes
you are so wrong if u think kevin durant cant win a ring in the next 3-5 years, it's not like hes going to get worse, hes only going to get better and you know it

actually i just read right now that mavs want sessions bcuz kidd is going to knicks
skip u are a genius...

David Stern & The NBA Refs?????????.
Delonte West is sleeping with Lebrons girlfriend and his mom? wow poor Lebron.
No Its Just Cuz Russel WestBrook HOGS THE BALL!
You Cant Shoot Every Possesion When You Have The 3 TIME SCORING CHAMPION on your team!
