Everything 2018 Playoffs!

I also want to say, and i've been sayin this for months now: It's wrong that Harden is going to win the MVP this year. LeBron James is much more deserving.

The NBA needs a better award program. The MVP is a regular season award. And Harden deserves that more than Lebron.. Had similar stats and a better team (best in the league).

Lebron is by far the MVP of the playoffs.. even if they lose the finals. Yet they have a Finals MVP.. who gives a shit about the Finals MVP. They should have a Playoff MVP like the NHL has.

Agreed it's dumb. Like in 2015 Andre Iguodala won it because of his finals, but they would have never been there without Steph Curry who should have been the playoff MVP

But even in the NHL, the Conn Smythe usually goes to the best player on the team who wins the cup.

Over 4 rounds..nba rewards the best player for 25% of the tournament

Yeah, I remember Kobe publicly blaming the GM for "making me play with guys like Smush Parker". Total douche move. And then there were the rumblings about wanting a trade if they didn't upgrade the roster... just before Kupchak pulled off the Pau Gasol trade. Not to mention, he gets to play for Phil Jackson, not Ty Lue. And then when he didn't show up in Game 7 for the last ring vs. the Celtics, his teammates picked him up. Not to mention the Kobe's 3 chips he had the most-dominant-ever player (Shaq)... who basically forced the NBA to change the rules. Putting Kobe top 15 might still be over-rated.

You're going to say stuff like that but give LeBron a pass....complaini ng about teammates and demanding trade(s) was perfected by LeBron lol

LeBron has never demanded a trade. He also doesn't complain about teammates publicly.

Usually but not always (Ron Hextall comes to mind).. and I think that would be the case in the NBA as well.

Stop trying to find a way to FIT-OUT and just FIT-IN. Be apart of something special! Just my thoughts

LeBron James created, assisted, or scored 64 of the Cavaliers' points in their 87-79 Game 7 wins over the Celtics.

Love still hasn't fit in and the Cavs probably play better without him, tbh. Lebron is right about that one. But still that's not on the same level as publicly disparaging a teammate, even if it was the lowly Smush Parker.

Demanding trades BE MADE. Playing GM, killing coaches....

And here's something funny for you to try:
Google "NBA throwing teammates under the bus" and go to "images"
The first 9 photos are of .... .... LeBron James
Yeah, he's not known for that at all

It's OK if you think he's right doing it but don't you ever say he doesn't DO it

LeBron James throws teammates under the bus by calling Cavs 'top-heavy'

Before the game, James said he wasn't worried about his team's recent struggles. But after the Cavs' fifth loss in seven games, James was extremely vocal about the team's problems.


After his initial locker-room chat with reporters, he apparently spoke to a smaller group of beat writers, where he unloaded on the team's problems.

"It's like when you don't have bodies. It's tough," James said, via ESPN's Dave McMenamin. "The f---ing grind of the regular season. We're a top-heavy team. We have a top-heavy team. We top-heavy as s---. It's me, [Kyrie Irving], [Kevin Love]. It's top-heavy."

The star player added, "We need a f---ing playmaker."

While James makes some good points (the Cavs do need more depth), it's a little insulting to the rest of the guys on the team who aren't Irving or Love. His comments are even a slap in the face to the front office for not going out and acquiring more talent
