Can't believe the NBA Season is starting tonight. Way to early but here we go.

Lakers vs Nuggets: 6:30PM

Suns vs Warriors: 9PM

Both on TNT

And had Parker/Ginobli made one more FT or had Bosh not gotten the rebound or had Allen missed the three then all of that would not have mattered.

The 2008 Celtics (assembling 3 superstars in their primes) were literally created by Danny Ainge as a response to how good LeBron was, but you don't have to look too far before that to see what the Lakers attempted to do with Shaq/Kobe/Malone/Payton on the same team too.

Revisionist history though

Cool. Doesn't change the facts about the last couple mins and the missed shot.

Sorry.

And if LeBron had not gone off for one of the most dominating 4th quarters in NBA finals history, it definitely wouldn't have mattered.

Ok name another instance before that of the best player in the league, a consensus top 5 player in the league, and a consensus top 10ish, for sure top 15 player all joining forces all via free agency?

I'll wait...

The fact is that the Heat aren't even in the game if LeBron doesn't have one of the best quarters anybody has ever seen in a Finals elimination game.

Why does it have to be free agency? Can't you assemble super teams by other means?

For the “Allen and Bosh saved Lebron” crowd…here’s how game 6 in the 2013 Finals was covered the day after the game.

Before the MJ fan hate narratives took over.

Very different.

I said they created it in the fashion they did it...which they did.

The Big 3 in Boston you can argue, fine...that was via trades. Anything before that was done through drafting.

LeBron was forced to respond to what Danny Ainge did (after spending 8 years playing with an awful Cleveland team where his best #2 was Mo Williams) and I really don't see how you can look at it any other way than that.

I remembered it accurately as being an all-time carry job in the 4th, but I had forgotten that Spoel had benched Wade and Bosh in that game too.

The facts seem to be that LeBron won his 2nd championship after an all-time carry job comeback in the 4th quarter when his complementary stars were so bad they got benched by the coach.
