Oh he's been a leader for a long time, but not the ultimate kind. Sometimes a leader has to take matters in his own hands, something LeBron rarely does

That kinda talk only comes up in losses though. Nobody was saying that throughout the ECF

Lebron not playing well does not make him not a leader or not an alpha dog, it means he isn't playing well.

Let me see if I phrase this right; So do you realize that guys like you have actually turned the OS NBA forum into reddit-lite or nah? Yet I'm labeled as the "reddit informant" on here. Lol. I'm actually trying to talk basketball but this place has been a zoo of memes and **** posts for awhile now, just like the place some of you all think you're high above for whatever reason.

How are you trying to talk basketball? You're talking about Cleveland firing Lue and paying 4 coaches when you were just the one in here pumping up how great a coach he is because he tells LeBron to shut the **** up in huddles and now he's getting fired? That's LeBron's chosen coach, he ain't going nowhere for a while and if they're already paying 2 other coaches in addition to him, they ain't paying him to go away too and somebody to replace him. Not even the Russian throws around that kind of money. Plus how you gonna have a dude for half a season, decide he's your guy then fire him for losing in the friggin Finals? Get outta here with this bs cima lol

A players or teams faults usually reveal themselves more clearly in losses.

I've been saying these things about LeBron since forever.

Re: The Finals: Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Golden St. Warriors Part 2

Thought this was an interesting strategy when GS feels they'll just let LeBron go one on one instead of a Box and 1, they just shut down the passing lanes on one side of the floor

It's a good strategy, he's obviously not at his best when his options are reduced to just scoring. Especially so now.

We already know LeBron aint beating the 73-9 Warriors by himself.

No doubt he's flawed, but what do you suggest? The dude took most of the shots in the 2nd half.

Yeah he probably went overboard with passing in the first half, but the Warriors have everything they need to take advantage of his weaknesses.

I agree with you.

But similar to what airjoca said about Bron, I also feel that Curry is not a "true" Alpha Dog...he is not the "complete" leader, IMO.

I feel like Green and Thompson join with him to form a "Alpha Trio" if you will.

They are like a 3-headed Cerberus and Curry is the larger, more sharp-toothed middle-head of the (Alpha) Dog.

Being that basketball ia a team game, people are too obsessed with "da best ever" talk stuff.

Especially when you have a bad game it gets worse.

Sure Kerr was right about Lebron...matbe its just an observation airjoca is making against the hype. I can understand that.

Well, he'd have to possess the killer instinct some other superstars have and the will and work ethic to improve his game every off season like someone like Kobe used to do. He's been coasting on his natural talent for all his life. He could've been a lot better.

Yes, basketball is a team sport. But take a look at game 3. Everything was going wrong for the Warriors in the beginning of the game, both at individual and collective levels. A true killer superstar would've kept the game close on his own allowing the team to come together.

Jordan or a similar "alpha dog" superstar would never have 2 points at the half like Curry had when the team was doing so badly.

Dude has been apart of some major accomplishments to be a coaster right?

Man, you're just typing to type now. There's no way you actually believe this stuff.

Sometimes I wish there was a Simpsons gif of Bart writing "there was only one Jordan. There was only one Jordan. There was only one Jordan."

Re: The Finals: Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Golden St. Warriors Part 2

Bron has flaws in his game like any other superstar we've seen....and he's had success as as well as failures...

There's no quesiton in my mind that he's a leader and capable of being 'the' guy....he's been that and proven that already IMO

I do think he's different in that he feels taking a game over can mean doing it as a playmaker as much as it means scoring...which is interpreted as gun shy or uneasy in that situation...which is don't agree with.

Thats why I found it odd when KD was criticized when he came out in Game 5 of the WCFs clearly trying to assert his will by doing what he does best..scoring...even though he was off...
