Okay. So by your logic you're saying that the cavs should suck because Dan Gilbert sucks. They're in the finals despite their "billionaire sucking" so what are you even talking about?

Money. Money money. Lbj is obviously the best he can turn a mediocre team into a good one. Milk that shit for every dollar it's worth and pay him a fraction of what your making off hom

Ok i'm done here. Obviously it's really hard for you to stay on topic.
Your claim was, it's all about the owners and not the players.
I proved you wrong. Now you're just babbling about irrelevant shit

Sure the players decide things at the smallest scale. If you can't hit that jumper why the fuck are we paying you?

That's exactly my point.
I'd even argue the GM has more influence than the owners considering they're actually putting the teams together and making personnel decisions. There are some exceptions to this obviously (Mark Cuban). But other than that, you're definitely placing too much emphasis on the owners. A lot of those guys don't know shit about basketball, they just happen to have the money to buy the team.

Yep. That's why I like Allen. The owner of pretty much all the Seattle teams. I think. I may be wrong. But the ones he does own he's in it to win it.

The Seattle Seahawks are one of three teams under Allen's ownership. He purchased the NBA's Portland Trail Blazers in 1988 and owns a minority stake in the Seattle Sounders FC soccer team. 3. Aside from sports, Allen's passions include aviation.
Ah OK. The Seattle teams are good Portland has been decent but they can't seem to get over that hump. Rich ass motherfuckers. Pay people millions to make you 100s of millions. Crazy

Haha I really wish I would've majored in Comp Sci in university instead of neuroscience. That's why I'm learning programming in my free time. All you have to do is make a stupid ass game like clash of clans or any of the other variants and you'll never have to work again

Damn i can’t even find the response to me saying LBJ is a better player than Jordan. 4 pages of shit.
But really think about James V. Jordan rationally.
Lebron is a fucking mountain of a man, that can dunk every bit as hard and stylish as Jordan ever did. Now hold up, ya that sounds pretty stupid. Assuming any of yall have ever played Basketball you know what it means to blow by someone and finish that shit with a dunk. Now the whole analytics crowd is trying to shake things up, but the game of basketball is still just an expression of soul. Surely you guys notice how the super fundamentally sound players never make that next step (looking at you “chokin”J.J Reddick). The best players are masters of the fundamentals, but they also have a deep love and respect for the game, plus that little bit of flair.
All the best players have it. Jordan was the superstar mega-athlete, Kobe was ruthless, A.I had the handles...and so on so forth. Lebron plays the game like no else, he dominates every possession, even when he doesn’t have the ball! He is also a true team player. Not too mention the dude is masterful strategist as well.
Yall wanna talk about the Owners exploiting the players? Everyone instantly recognizes this (across the globe even) “I’m taking my talents to South Beach,” and “The Return.” Yall realize how much revenue those media events drew? Im pretty sure Lebron isn’t exactly eating hot pockets and struggling for rent money. But I digress as Michael has obviously proven himself to be an ingenius businessmen. Really that and the championships are all that lies between Lebron and his legacy as “his airness”. Which reminds me, "King" James anyone... 
To help illustrate the point about the Air Jordan brand

So Basically: The stats are extremely similar, Jordan doesn’t involve his team or manage the game nearly like lebron does, nor does he match his physical prowess. Oh ya but he played for Phil Jackson and was surrounded by stars so he has championships. He invented the whole idea of “superstar calls” and he was dick, like straight up.
Lebron takes a team from lottery pick to Eastern Conference champions, and he weathered many low points in the season, no less. But rings are everything to some people. Deep Pockets means you have a chance at a championship run in the NBA, and luck definitely comes into play, thats why fans get so obsessed with stupid rituals. Besides that you

Elax, how is it possible to have a Jordan vs James conversation when all you can really go by is highlights and stats. I was just old enough to understand basketball when I watched him win his last 3 rings.
I don't know if you were even born yet.
Just saying this because I don't know if there's even one person in this thread that's old enough to have watched and fully understood what Jordan was about. Maybe SunRa? Or am I the oldest mufucka around here?

That's what I'm saying. I'm only about to hit 30 myself in a couple months.
I remember quite a few Jordan games vividly, but nowhere near enough to be able to compare him to LBJ.
LBJ, Shaq, Kobe, Pierce, and Wade are the names that pop up when I think of players of my generation. The days of watching Jordan, Ewing, Malone, Hardaway, etc etc are a pretty distant memory.
*Watched MJ with the Wizards doesn't count. He was a shell of himself by that time.
