Somewhat related side note - AD defensively against Giannis in a 7-game series would be something special to watch. |

Bron went the super team way for first 2.
Number 4 though, was pure and utter old school like Kobe.
The last ring Bron won was purely a team of quality 2 way role players no 3rd star or scorer and a second superstar. 2 superstars and role players with good coaching.
Giannis’ as impressive considering he did not have a second superstar but he did have a very talented 2-5, more than Bron had on Lakers.
Giannis is one of the greats now. No doubt about it. He deserves it. And yes. He is right he did it the old school way. However Bron, one of his 4 rings has been that way as well. No way anyone saw last years Lakers team as a super team. |

Yeah, I don't think giannis was targeting lebron with his super team reference... It was shade at the nets.

Personally that is the biggest surprise to me..no second star.
I am trying to remember how many teams won a championship in a similar fashion?
Maybe the Raptors 2019..unless Lowry is considered a star and he might very well be one |

Yeah, that's absolutely ridiculous to say Middleton is not a star and he 100% played like it through the Playoffs. They don't get a ring without his outstanding play regardless of Giannis going into God mode. Like AD, he is absolutely not a franchise 1st option obviously but there are only a few of those in the NBA. He is def. a great 2nd option though. Not saying he is as good as AD but still played like an elite 2nd option.
I think Giannis's remark was almost completely aimed at the Nets because his Bucks team was pretty solid throughout and far from a mediocre cast after him. |

Middleton's a star, but he probably has the weakest resume of any #2 guy on ring team since Maurice Lucas on the '77 Blazers. His career average is 17-4-5, he's only made two all-star teams in his 9-year career, and he's never made an all-NBA team or received a post season honor. |

Middleton is a star when it matters. He put up some monstrous performances when his team needed it. Legit as any 2nd option there is. Might not be a star or all-nba player throughout an entire season but he sure plays that way in the playoffs |

We aren’t trading Lebron or Anthony for Khris, get the (bleep) out of here with that.

What about PG and Kawhi.
CP3 and Booker?
Ben and Joel?
Butler and Bam?
Don and Gobert?
Russ and Beal?
Murray and Joker?
Dame and CJ?
Klay and Steph?
BI and Zion?
Maybe a couple of those teams might. But most wouldn't.
Did I miss any other 2 star teams?

Yeah, that was a pretty random reply honestly. I highly doubt many if any would trade AD for Middleton obviously and that was never really even brought up that I seen?
He played himself into being one of the better 2nd options in the NBA though without question. He has shown it in the regular season plenty and a little in the Playoffs of past but consistently in the 2021 Playoffs he was absolutely elite nearly every single time he was needed and especially late in games. That is exactly what you need next to a dominant big like Giannis.
I'd take him over nearly all those other mentions because he's extremely reliable health wise, right in the middle of his prime (and has the type of game to age well) and is lowkey a great defensive weapon as he can switch and match up with several positions without there being any liability. On top of it all, he has shown to play with Giannis beautifully and while some of those other names absolutely could "potentially" be better on paper i'm not sure they actually would be. |

What will it look like.

Not often. Jordan never did it. But if the nets were healthy they would have won it all. I think they win it this year. |

This guy is so sad. Anyone who doesn’t kiss his ass is a hater; if not a racist. He’ll never be as much as Kobe or Mike’s toenail clippings. Everyone knows he never won a real championship for this franchise. |
You know what's sad? That you care about Tweets. Like why do you care?
Secondly, I'm quite certain that the Lakers won the NBA Finals last year. That was real. So I think you might want to seek a medical evaluation for being so utterly divorced from reality.
It would seem that your identity is so wrapped up in Kobe that you feel personally threatened by anyone else assuming leadership of the franchise. Again, therapy. Many, many years of therapy... |
Thanks, Dr, Freud. But you should really ask yourself why you care so much about my post. Your response is twice as long. “Like why do you care?” Perhaps your own identity is stuck so far up Lebron’s ass that you feel personally threatened by any criticisms? Unfortunately, at your advanced age, I’m not sure you can be helped. |
