He got swept by a much superior team. That Cavs team did NOT deserve to be in the Finals, but Lebron willed them there.

As a 22 year old he had nowhere near the skillset to reliably take on a team like those Spurs. The gap between legit role players like Varejao and Gibson and legit Hall of Famers like Rodman and Pippen couldn't be more vast. I'm sorry, it isn't an apt comparison.
You made the comparison to the Bulls, not me. Don't fucking put words in my mouth. I said his team wasn't full of scrubs like everyone else wants to think. They're perfectly adequate pieces that would do well on a Finals team for anyone else. Reading comprehension is your friend.

Who was the second best player on that Cavs team? Ilgauskas? Hughes? Gooden? Gibson? Those guys wouldn't have been starters for the Spurs, or really most teams in the playoffs that year. I can't think of another team in NBA history that overachieved to the level that 06-07 Cavs squad did. They had one great player and a whole mess of journeyman and rode that to the NBA Finals.
So you'd trade Duncan and Parker for Varejao and Gibson? I'll let Cleveland keep Lebron and SA can keep Ginobili. Fair trade?
Wow, you're a fucking retard.
I love how all of y'all just put words in my mouth. Go fuck yourself, vi.

Ilgauskas would have started at C, and Hughes wouldn't have been a bad SG. Gibson over Parker? Nah, but I'd take him as a backup over Udrih or Vaughn.
If you're trying to defend that Cavs team as pretty good, then I think you've lost all perspective.

He never had any perspective. He basically dislikes any nba star not on the spurs. He's just a mentally challenged homer who lives in San Antonio. He's a stereotypical ignorant Texan.
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST YOU'RE ALL STUPID AS FUCK. I NEVER SAID THEY WERE "PRETTY GOOD" OR "HOLY FUCK THEY ARE THE ELITEST TEAM IN THE FUCKING NBA AND WILL BE THE BEST FUCKING TEAM EVER!" I SIMPLY SAID THEY ARE NOT A BUNCH OF FUCKING SCRUBS LIKE YOU FAGS ARE SAYING.

I don't live in San Antonio you retarded, ignorant fucking dipshit.
you just tried to pass off Larry Hughes, Ilgauskas, Dwight Gooden, and Boobie Gibson as good players. I'd say that you were trying to defend his team as pretty good. Now go take your medicine, I'm sure your doctor doesn't like it when you forget.

Good grief Lebron is a monster. He singlehandedly destroyed the knicks in the 4th. He is faster than the small guys and looks like a freaking monster amongst boys.
I'd love to have a time machine and watch the 93 bulls vs the current heat team. I think the bulls win but still the Lebron MJ matchup would be epic.
I'd love to talk NBA, but I see no point in it as we'd just be talking about who's second best for at least the next 5 years.
Tell me, what is the point of about half the league? They literally have zero chance to compete, hell over half the league. Why not just have the NBA be like 8 teams? I'm not sure how that is good for the sport.
I don't live in any NBA city and have no favorite team, but god damn this sport is tough to watch when it's easily the least parity driven sport in the country.
They could definitely get rid of about 6 teams. But even then you are losing a good amount of guys that deserve to play at the highest level. No way in hell could you go to 8 teams. You'd be losing way too many great basketball players.
Yeah if they dropped 6-8 teams this league would be alot more competitive IMO.
