LeBron starts guarding Rose
Lebron did a hell of job guarding Rose in the playoffs.
That is a great match up!
It's tough for Rose because Lebron is bigger and stronger and just as fast.
It's tough when the guy guarding you is bigger, stronger, and faster. And, just as tough, smart, and competitive.
Lebron can guard Rose. He is maybe the only guy who can guard Rose.

I've now ditched 3 LTR's (over 2 months counts for me as an LTR) during the NBA playoffs. Each time I had agreed to a date that conflicted with a game. Each time I gave less than 6 hours notice that I couldn't make it and that it wasn't working for me.
Does this happen to anyone else?
My entire life shuts down during NBA playoffs.
For many years, I watched every single game. I have Tivo, so I record them and watch them in about an hour with no commercials.
I pride myself in watching every game. I want to be the most knowlegable fan.
Honestly, I want to start posting on NBA forums and start writing about the NBA.
My passion in life are basketball and college girls.
I don't date during the playoffs. I only do "playoff dates". Which means that if a girl wants hang out with me, she can come over and watch games with me. Or, we can go to a sports bar or something.
Playoffs are more important then pussy. I have lost a few girls like this but I don't care.

Are we still waiting for LeBron's killer instinct to come out?
Yes, he is still getting better. He has not peaked yet. He is still evolving his killer instinct.
If Rose had not gotten hurt last year. I think Miami still would have beaten them.
Why? Because Lebron is bigger, faster, stronger then Rose. He can guard Rose.

Riley's book was The Winner Within, circa 1993. Chapter 2, pg 51-3.
Thank You.
I will look it up.

Arguing that Magic is overrated is like arguing to a liberal that Clinton was overrated, and a conservative that Reagan was overrated.
My opinion of Magic is not set in stone. I am open to the possibility that he is overrated. I want to her your opinion. I want to know why you think he is overrated. I just want to see the analysis and evidence.
You have provided some interesting stuff.

Bob Cousy
I don't feel Cousy could play today. I have talked to many older NBA fans and coaches about this. Guys who saw him play. They say that he would be an average or below average player if he played today. The guards are just so much more athletic today.

Jason Kidd
One of the greatest point guards of all time. Top 3-5.
What a winner. Similar to Magic but smaller.
Great player in any era.

Jason Kidd didn't get to show his true championship pedigree.
I feel that Kidd did prove his championship pedigree.
He won a championship with Dallas. His passing was the difference. He got the ball to Dirk in the right places every time.
His leadership and guidance was the difference for that team.
He also led New Jersey to the Finals twice.
I think everyone respects him as a championship level player.
Hall of Famer in any era.

Stockton
Great point guard. Top 5 all time.
His game was so simple and subtle that most people can't really appreciate it. He simply made the correct fundamental play every single time.
I could talk alot about Stockton but I won't. No one will care but me and a few guys in Utah and Washington.
Hall of Famer in any era.
Whats crazy to me is that if he would have played in the 1960's, people today would be saying that he is too small and too white to play in the NBA now. They would be wrong. Stockton looks like he could only play in the NBA in the 1950s or 1960s but we all know he could play right now.
He was that good. Looks can be deceiving sometimes.
Gary Payton said Stockton was the best point guard he ever played against.

Oscar Robertson: I've never seen him play. C'mon...who here has? How do you get real video of the Big O?
There is video on him. Sometimes they show them on NBATV. Old Bucks games with Kareem.
Who has seen him.?
They guys who played and coached against him:
Jerry West, Rick Barry, Bill Russell, Jack Ramsey, Hubie Brown, Jim Barnett, Jerry Sloan, Kareem, etc.
Many of these guys are or have been announcers. They talk about Oscar. They say he was a Micheal Jordan type of athlete. Bigger, stronger, and faster then any other guard. They say he was as competitive as Micheal. And, his fundamentals were flawless.
They say he would be one of the best guards in the league today.
I haven't seen him play that much but I have to trust what these guys say. They are the ones who have seen him.
I have heard Kareem and Jerry West breakdown his game. They say Oscar would be a Hall of Famer in any era.

Killer.

Obviously it's a struggle to come up with a point guard better than Magic.
So, are you admitting that Magic is the best point guard ever???
If not, who is?

Does T-Mack and Vince get in the hall of fame?
I hope not. I don't think they are on that level.
But, Vince will likely get in. He is the #27 scorer of all time.

For anybody who watch Dominique play, was he a better player than Vince and McGrady?
I think Dominique was better then both of those guys.
Dominique played harder, competed harder, and played more defense.
It's close but I would take Dominique.
He battled Micheal, Magic, and Bird. And, he did pretty well against them.

I honestly don't believe Ray Allen deserves to be one.
Yeah, thats a close one. He will get in just because of all the 3 pointers.

Would anybody choose an in their prime Pierce or Allen over Vince and McGrady.
I would take Paul Pierce. He is a proven champion.
I don't doubt Pierces heart. He went head to head with the best of his generation and did great.
Boston loves him, so he must have heart.

Reggie Miller made it. Therefore Ray Allen has to make it.
Yeah, those 2 guys will make it because they were the best at one thing:
3 point shooting.
They are sort of in their own little category
