Can’t argue with many of them mate. Hoping Miami can squeeze past the sixers.

Pfft you can hope. We are 24-1 and even without Embiid we are kicking arse. Fultz became the youngest player to score a triple double last game so he’s now on fire too.
Play offs though so all gonna be tight games I think.

The Bucks were dismal, like they were trying to lose... I could have scored a triple double that night
Embiid v Whiteside should be a great matchup, plus Wade v Fultz off the bench

Yeah you are right actually think they wanted a Irvine-less Celtics instead of the buoyant 76ersThe Bucks were dismal, like they were trying to lose... I could have scored a triple double that night

Debate going on about whether he is better than Jordan. I love Jordan, he was a revolutionary in the game and a sporting superstar but LeBron is streets ahead in terms of ability playing against the best players every week whereas Jordan played when there were part time players.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a good youtube channel (or similar) for watching Inside the NBA?
Failing that i'm guessing BT Sport have a round-up programme too?
I had one for last season, but he got deleted. Seems like they've stepped up their copyright enforcement.

Jordan took a 3 year sabbatical to play baseball and come back to still be the best player in the world.
the decision
LeBron james will never be fit to lace his boots
as a long time [long suffering] suns fan the same way I've watched the play offs for the last 8 years... not at all

Lebron is a better passer, rebounder, is more athletic, is a better shooter (yes that's right, from both 2 and 3 pointers, check the stats), a better leader, etc etc.Jordan took a 3 year sabbatical to play baseball and come back to still be the best player in the world.

How many finals did Jordan reach before Pippen? (I'll give you a clue - he didn’t reach his first Finals until he was 27)
Did Jordan ever face a team as good as the Warriors? No.
Anyway, I'll leave this here too
Search for "MLG Highlights" on YouTube.
This channel shows 10 min highlights of every game if that helps.

Cheers, can't see the link (at work) but will have a look when I get home.
I've been trying to follow the Bucks for years and they finally look to be getting decent. Hoping that with their good home form and the Celtics seemingly not liking playing in Milwaukee it'll go to a game 7.

what's the point? it is a subjective topic with no right or wrong answer.
ultimately the best players out there raise their game to beat their opponents. we'll never know the 'correct answer' if there is such a thing.
what it comes down to for me is LeBron is a massive bell piece imo

Why? Because of 'The Decision'? He's already admitted it was a stupid decision broadcasting his next move.
What else has he done?
Off the court though the man has done huge things for his community. He created a foundation to send over a 1000 kids to college costing 41 million dollars.
Jordon on the other hand is a massive nob and doesn't have many friends because of it.

tbf pretty much everyone seems to give huge sums to charity over there, something that American sports does well, perhaps it is just better publicized than in this country but it would be nice to know if/when footballers etc did huge amounts for chartibale causes so they don't just all seem like massive dicks.
yes the decision was a massive part of it, but also what it did to the nba, the birth of the so called super team era, his well publicized 'home coming' after Miami only now it seems like he'll be ditching Cleveland again anyhow.
nostalgia comes into anarl I guess, I'm sure if I was a bairn now I'd think LeBron was the best thing since sliced bread and Jordan was just someone no good until pippen come along

It's got to be this really hasn't it?
Every era has it's untouchable superstar & to compare them is almost impossible with advances in sport science, changes to the rules etc
I'm sure people with longer memories than me would say that Larry Bird & Wilt Chamberlain were better and have valid reasons for believing that.
