So killer instinct means winning many rings? Well then I don't feel bad for Lebron - Oscar Robertson, Julius Irving, Clyde Drexler only won one title HaKeem Olajuwon, Wilt Chamberlain, David Robinson, Isaiah Thomas etc only won two. Technically Kobe only won two since the other 3 were won by Shaq Yet they are considered all time greats. And If I had to pick a team of 5, Bill Russell would never be in my starting line-up. And I would pick Lebron over Larry Bird Many of these guys you say won leading their teams had very good players around them. - Magic had Kareem and James Worthy - Bill Russell had almost all the best NBA players around him - Tim Duncan had David Robinson, Manu, Sean Elliott and Parker Bird had Mchale and DJ Meanwhile Lebron carried some very bad Cleveland teams to the finals

I hope I am Skip Bayless. I can't stand Stephen A Smith. I always change the channel when I see his punk-azz

And I agree with you that B Bal is a team sport and now more than ever one needs to surround himself with a quality cast to win. But having said that other than when he moved to Miami where he played alongside D Wade, who by the way is a future first ballot Hall of Famer and 3rd best SG after MJ and Kobe, LeBron has struggled to win with a good cast. This year he has no excuse, K Love and K Irving are at a good place, they are healthy and hot so I expect Cavs to beat GSW.

What a performance by LBJ!!! I eat my words, LBJ finally found his dagger. That performance alone now officially moves him into top 5 all time. Dub nation out thought, so much for regular season record. "The purpose of bureaucracy is to compensate for incompetence and lack of discipline." James Collins

I am relieved for LBJ. Sometimes a player wanting something very badly is just as effective as the so called killer instinct. The way Lebron cried jana you can tell he wanted it badly. And he played like he wanted it badly with 40 points in game 5 and 6 plus a triple double in game 7. The way he was blocking shots, he was like a man possessed. They say he led the entire series in points, rebounds, assists, and steals. That is a man possessed. And he is the 1st player ever to lead a series in all key stats.

Thats band wagon riding at its worst That's a big man coming to warriors . So who are warriors ready to loose when he comes in,Thompson?curry, green and bogut? I don't think just one guy moving here is worth trading 2 guys who have built chemistry over the years

Kevin Durant is the biggest free agent so speculation of his destination is everywhere. GSW as a destination is highly unlikely as they already have 3 stars in Steph Curry, Draymond Green and Klay. But the team owner seems interested in adding stars. I hope KD re-signs for OKC, they have a good thing going with Westbrook that I doubt he can replicate anywhere else. This year they were soo close to making that WC finals, they have a great roster which they just need to trust and they can win next year.

I don't know how these guys motivate young players to work harder if they keep rewarding vigogo. Besides WESTBROOK OS GOOD but he needs to grow up . The way I see him behaving now is the same way he behaved once when his coach told him to take a bench and he got upset almost knocking down the coach and chair . If he can work on his childishness a little bit then he should be fine and preferred guy with most teams

This year they were soo close to making that WC finals, they have a great roster which they just need to trust and they can win next year. Seems KD/GSW ignored my advise. But shit, that 16/17 GSW roster is insane; Steph 30 ppg Durant 28.2 ppg Klay 22.1 ppg Green 26 ppg Their average age is 26.5. This guys could dominate the NBA for a long time to come. Wonder who will win the future multiple MVP's btn KD and Steph. "The purpose of bureaucracy is to compensate for incompetence and lack of discipline." James Collins

Here we are again! GSW already in final and Lebron and his Cavs not too far off, a road victory in Boston should do it in a day or 2. Lebron is in insane form, while Curry/Durant are likewise hitting top form. Once again, I predict a GSW win, even though I got it wrong last year.

And the Warriors win it all. Really happy for Kevin Durant, a great baller like him should atleast get a ring. Now they need to find superteams for Westbrook, CP3 and Harden as it seems nowadays, only super teams (and Spurs)contend for rings "The purpose of bureaucracy is to compensate for incompetence and lack of discipline."
