You're probably right. This one really went off the tracks. |
Wow days later and he’s still going?
That Baylor championship that he never won sure is important to him. |
A discussion of whether Lebron should/will get his jersey retired is interesting.
A discussion about the semantics of the word "has," not so much. |

LeBron is bigger and stronger. Bron, Howard, AD are going to put the clamps on him. |

| Finals predictions. Lakers in 5. LeBron is likely going to average a triple-double in this series and win his 4th Finals MVP. |

Expect to see lots of Bam on Lebron.

Right now, he’s top 3 in all-time scoring in both regular season and playoffs. Top 10 all-time in assist in the regular season, and Top 3 all-time in assist in the playoffs. By the time he calls it a career barring any major injury/s, He’ll be #1 in all-time scoring in the regular season and #1 in all-time assist in the playoffs.
This is ridiculous when you think about it and he still a few extra years left to accumulate these stats. He’ll never be the GOAT over MJ in terms of winning consistency, but in terms of ability, he’s the most complete all-around player ever. |

I’m glad the skeptical people in this fan base are beginning to come around on Lebron. I was never a fan (and some of the stuff he does still irks me) but his greatness eventually became too much to ignore.
Four more wins. |

I'm not sure of that...he's their best matchup against AD. It will be Crowder, Iggy, and Butler taking turns on Lebron.

Yeah, they're going to have to worry about him on AD and if anyone else Dwight. If at anytime they move him to Lebron the front court is about to have a layup drill for however long that lasts. |

Dude just rubs me the wrong way. Don't think I'll ever be a fan of his, but I'll always root for the jersey regardless of who's wearing it. |

Bam is no slouch athletically especially with him being much younger, and he has good length. Tough match up either way imo |

If you still have this mindset than you haven’t read enough about what he does off the court. He’s an admirable person. Kobe-like. More than an athlete.
I was anti lebron in the Kobe days as well. But once you read about him or watch The Shop or other productions he does. He is impressive. |

Thought we were all done and moved on?
But since y'all want to be right...
The original question was, "Are any rafter Lakers ringless?'
What is your answer to that?
Yes? |
Here's a fun one.
Dion Waiters started the season with the Heat and he's ending it with the Lakers. So if the Heat win, they might offer him a ring. And if he takes it, in your view, he won't be "ringless," even though the ring came from the team that he lost to in the finals.
Ah, semantics. You are oodles of fun! |

I think Waiters gets a ring either way. Doesnt matter what the Heat think or want.

Bam would go around Dwight like he was a maypole. AD can guard him, Spoelstra is smiling if Lebron spends much time on him.

I have been a fan and some of the stuff he does still irks me. I typically saw him game after game in the playoffs. Watching him all season, he sure does whine a lot.

Same can be said about you. You should find a strong similarity with Bron then.

The Heat are not required to give Waiters a ring.
In fact, NBA teams are not required to give out championship rings to any player.
It's simply a tradition.
Teams can have any kind of ring they want made, and they can give them to anyone they want. |

James has been phenomenal in this playoff run. He continues to surprise me with his ability to pick and choose his moments in games to even take it to another level. I truly didn’t think he could sustain it. Yet he has.
4 more wins and I’ll celebrate the championship and the young men that won it.
Any of his faults or in-game annoyances are secondary at this time. I’m suddenly a big fan of James and the win now plan the FO took. |

Sometimes players fitting together well matters as much or more than their individual talent - one reason that things that should happen "on paper" don't always happen on the court. I think that's the case with the Heat. we are clearly better than them as far as our top 2 players, but I'd give them the edge in the 3-8 players. But they are still the underdogs. I think their only chance is if they start hitting 3s at a remarkable percentage. |
That’s pretty much how Mavs and Spurs beat the Heat in 2011 and 2014... Both those teams got hot at the right time from 3. Heat now have a few guys who can get hot from 3... But I’m hoping Danny Green shoots like he did in 2014. |

I don't believe that's anyone plan for LeBron to guard Bam. 
If Miami plays traditional, Bron might guard Jimmy with Green chasing Duncan.
If they go small, Bron on Jae Clam Chowder?
