Well, Allen Iverson might be the one guy who could do that. I thought this was the perfect scenario for Sheed. A veteran, no-nonsense squad whose main goal is winning a title. Plus, this team feels like they have a lot to prove now that Cleveland is getting all the media love. You bring Sheed in off the bench but he and Perkins will most likely play equal minutes. This is a type of situation that brings out the best in Rasheed as well. I've always thought he was one of the best big men in the league when motivated. If Boston stays healthy this year I think they win it all. This could be their last chance.

I'm scared of this team TBH. Their offense could explode at any time especially now with Foye and Miller. I predict a 5th seed for them because Atlanta is going to be pretty good too.

That's one game. He was out for a season and a half, that's a lot for any player. I guarantee Kobe loses too after missing that much time. As for the more with less, Kobe won with Shaq. You underestimate just how dominant a force Shaq was at that time of the 3-peat. The only times Kobe didn't have much around him was from the time Shaq left until Gasol came. Jordan made the playoffs every single season in Chicago. Doesn't that tell you something? Kobe also never had to play against the Celtics of the 80's or the Bad Boys. He also beat 2 great Utah teams with a pair of HOF'ers on their squad. The one time Kobe played against a truly great team they got mutilated.

You wanna talk about having a dominant big man? I'd say Shaq and Pau Gasol are two very good big men to have on your side so lets not pretend Kobe won these ships without good bigs on his teams. Also, Jordan came back midway through the 94-95 season and got that team from being a .500 squad to reaching the second round. How much more can you expect from a guy who spent a year and a half away from the game? The mere fact that you would expect that from Jordan tells me that he is the GOAT because that pressure would never fall on anyone, not even Kobe. I think that if the Bulls would've had Jordan for that entire season they win the title. I just don't understand how you can say Kobe is better than Michael. As complete a player as Kobe is he still can't touch MJ in my opinion.

Kobe against the Suns is true but the Lakers still managed an epic choke job and lost in 5 the following season. Let's also not forget, when Jordan was losing playoff series it was to the Celtics teams of the 80's and to the Bad Boys while carrying those Bulls teams by himself. Those 2 teams where among the best in NBA history. Their stats in the playoffs aren't even comparable either. Jordan wins by a landslide. The skill argument doesn't really make any sense either. A lot of guys are more "skilled". If Kobe's more skilled then so is Chris Paul. And if Jordan had the Shaq that Kobe had then they Bulls might have gone 82-0 instead of 72-10.

I would really like to hear your opinion on my response ECN.

So then what's Kobe? If I'm not mistaken Jordan averaged more career assists than Kobe. Also, didn't Kobe make a video trashing Andrew Bynum and asking for him to be traded? The expansion teams isn't a big factor because they won their titles against teams in the West. If anything, Kobe's titles are less impressive because of how weak the East was at that time.

So we're just going to discount Jordan winning DPOY and being All Defensive First Team 88-93 and 96-98?

And? Are you saying Scottie was better than Jordan? What exactly makes Jordan not the GOAT.

Ok but what great player doesn't? Kobe's had tremendous supporting casts throughout all 4 of his title runs. J ordan is still the GOAT just lock the thread already.

I'm down in the keys with the fam and some family friends. Getting hammered

I just don't know how anyone can look at this and not laugh.

...unbelievable

Hey Obama, why not actually do something and bomb them please.

I have a MacBook and love it. I'm looking to upgrade to the pro for college as well. Haven't had one issue with it.

Looks like Hedo got cracked by the whip there...

Usually that;s the case but not with this kid. His music might suck but they're always hit songs. He's had 3 number one songs and is banking as a producer. Kid is mega laoded.

I wonder how this would work honestly. Not to sure this would work out seeing that Iverson and Wade both like to shoot. I'd give him at the most a 2 year deal.

So now that there's no Artest or Ariza I'm confident in saying that the Cavs are the third best team in the East. Boston is still my top team.

So then imagine what he would've done the Rubio.

No wonder they never make the playoffs anymore...(not a racist I promise)

I hope Flynn ends up being better than him. If you aren't sure then don't come until you are. I can't wait hear Brandon Jennings' comments on this. Should be a fun read.

Wade County = GOAT weather.

Wade wants to be here. He won't leave. I don't want to trade for Boozer because then we miss out on Bosh. Wade and Bosh together with Beasley would make us instant contenders. I also want us to try and bring in a center next season along with Bosh. I'd try to get Jermaine for the MLE or the best C possible.
