REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Phil Jackson believes LeBron James needs to find another level for the Cavaliers to climb out of their Finals hole, much like Michael Jordan did 23 years prior.

Speaking on a stage with Shaquille O'Neal on Monday, Jackson recalled how Jordan, trailing the 1993 Eastern Conference finals 0-2 to the Knicks, was motivated by a New York Times article negatively reporting on his off-day trip to an Atlantic City casino. The Bulls won four straight after the article ran, with Jordan averaging 32.2 points for the series. Jackson compared it to James' situation with Game 3 on Wednesday in Cleveland.

"It did something to Michael Jordan. You learned something about pulling the cape of Superman. It's not a good idea. He was a man possessed after that," Jackson said at the Chelsea event sponsored by American Express. "I think it's going to take something for LeBron to step into that. Put his cape on and say, "I'm going to have to take over a lot of this series, doing the things beyond my level or my normal capacity.' He's been a team player up until this point but I think he's going to have to step beyond that."

d a h a w k s

i haven't heard anything, did cavs decide to give him one?

WHICH THREAD IS IT DAMMIT

i think theyre still deciding

fuck that anime bullshit

Check the times

who would trade down though? we can't really offer much to anyone other than boston, who will demand Gallo for basically nothing.

>omg anime, must protect muh manliness
>posts on a chinese cartoon site
t. fedora

well no shit, LeBron went gorilla mode when Curry dared to call him a bitch

its not acceptable to fap to mlp mate get help

i've always thought it's been quite a while since Sup Forums was mainly about anime.

7th and 15th + Gallo for Pheonix's pick

Could get Hield. Garry Harris would be best served as a 6th man. Im fine with Chandler at the SF position, and Sampson is rounding out

>LeBron James enrolled his kids in Los Angeles County Brentwood School. Bought a mansion in L.A. last year.
he's coming home

Also wanted to add, Pheonix just got devin booker and have Bledsoe at SG. They dont need Hield.

This way they get SF, as well as draft picks for their PF and C problems, heck maybe even another SF

>guaranteed
>eligible
Its one or the other.

He'll be hated so much if he did that...again

WHY WOULD HE ENROLL HIS KIDS IN L.A. IF HE IS IN CLEVELAND? HUH? EXPLAIN IT!

when did he enrol them?

surely he hasn't had enough time since winning the chip to sort it all out

No way LeBron leaves the eastern conference.

Did you even read what I posted? I said he'll be hated again if he left

the fuck he will. just gave a city a championship after a 52yr drought literally have shit to say to him

You now remember Carmelo Anthony.

like yesterday bro. PRO TIP: he doesnt have to be the one who does it, his wife also can.

desu, he already has.

you didnt explain..EXPLAIN IT!

...

>Lebron to Lakers
>Durant to Celtics

The GOAT rivalry continues

>implying we're not getting them both

go kill yourself you celtics faggot.

yeah but he'd had to have the lakers deal pretty set in concrete as well, and as if they'd have been discussing it before he won, and he'd need to know that other people are confirmed joining also

i dont think that timeline is realistic

How would that be possible?

You first

I think she's legitimately in love with lbj.

hes been planning it since the beginning of last season when he said him and dwade are goin to team up again

Bledsoe is a PG

Denzel Valentine to the Clippers

Better than Draymond Green

CP3
Wade
Durant
LeBron
Griffin

DeAndre gets traded

theres no source for him enrolling his kids either

Why the fuck does Boston have every fucking pick what the fuck did you do Brooklyn..

...

>he's coming home

To the Clippers

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

...

...

his house in LA is mcmansion af

>unironically bringing your wife
>that POWER GAP between LeBron/CP3
>that gap between CP3/Wade

what are you guys studying in college?

what did some nba stars and legends study in college?

How many dicks do I need to suck to afford that?

>you will never ride a banana boat with CP3, Wade and LeBron
give me one single reason to continue living

>what are you guys studying in college?
I'm majoring in fucking these hoes and not getting them pregnant

I'm not in college

>2nd season back
>win a title
the madman

one

you just gotta make sure it's the right dick

i just googled lebron james and nothing came up

guess he's goin, there must be a fuckton more deals to be made then can't imagine he'd be going to lakers as is, unless its for clippers

Kek wouldn't he go to the Clippers over Lakers?

Literally no ties to anyone on the Lakers

he wants the kobe money. he fulfilled his promise to his shithole home town, he can do whatever the fuck he wants now. he's entering the near-retirement era lebron. he might go full blown ring chaser

clippers got no room for him unles they let one of the big 3 go. lakers got an open house. they can bring in cp3 and lebron. then melo in 2019

>they can bring in cp3 and lebron. then melo in 2019

Good night /nba/

All season I convinced myself that off-season /nba/ wasn't as bad as I remembered and yet here we are, 3 days into the off-season and this is already fucking terrible.

>he might go full blown ring chaser
he wouldn't be going to lakers if that was the case

it'll all be about his ego, "lebron could even make the finals in the west," "he played in a weak conference all his career" won't be able to say it anymore, and winning in the west is something jordan never did

>24

broshipped desu

Please, the West in the 90s was what the East is today. Maybe 2 Good teams at the top and the rest was utter trash

>the West in the 90s was what the East is today.

is the NBA capable of stopping teams from signing players in the name of "balance" or was the CP3 situation a one-off?

Like if Lakers magically managed to convince Durant / LeBron to join, could the owners ask the NBA to intervene?

oh so jordan did win in the west?

no, heat did it with bron wade and bosh.
no, showtime lakeys did it with magic, abdul and jabar.
no, cavs did it with lebron, irving and love.
no, fagtics did it with bird, mcfag and the other guy
no, bulls did it with rodman, jordan and pippper

>anime thread deleted
AHAHAHAHA based hans strikes again

>Can confirm #Knicks appear to have multiple deals in place if certain players fall to those specific spot that they like in the draft.
Thank you based Phil

>german knicks fan

knicks are going to be shit for the next 1000 years, kys klaus

...

How many rings would Lebron have if phil was his coach?

IDK

anime is basketball-related
fuck off mods
REEEEEEEEEEE

stop being pathetic and grow up

Unless Scott Brooks can turn both Otto Porter and Kelly Oubre Jr. into stars this season, while also controlling the cancer that is markieff morris, I'm preparing for an awful season.

>no draft pick
>best prospects are Aaron White and Tomas Satoransky

>Aaron White and Tomas Satoransky
LITERALLY WHOS LOOLOLOL

exactly my point.
Satoransky is an atheltic white combo guard, but I think he'll be btfo in the NBA

James Jones the GOAT!!!

>he won one for da land

kiss your sister

Most of those picks are useless since this draft pool is considered weak. It would be a miracle if they could score a Draymond Green or Jordan Clarkson.

Danny Ainge hasn't drafted a franchise player since 2003, in fact he only had two All-Stars in Al Jefferson and Rajon Rondo and most of these rookies aren't even playing in the NBA anymore.

Parade today. Still doesn't seem real.

If Durant goes to GSW after they just cucked him in the wcf will he be the biggest bitch to ever play in the NBA?

Would it be a bigger bitch move than LeBron going to Miami?

Lebron: Left Cleveland just to beat a bunch of old people that he only beat when they were 35/36 year olds 2 years later
Durant: Left Oklahoma just to beat an aging Lebron and a Stephen Curry who is in his prime

In all honestly for the past 2 days I felt as if I was dreaming. Still didn't hit me yet.

It would be a bitch move and he shouldn't care what others think of his decisions. That being said Durant is a cuck bitch and he'll stay in OKC because he'll be pressured to do so.

If he joins you'll be looking at a smallball lineup of:

Curry
Klay
Iggy
Durant
Apemond

I don't think he'll leave Russell behind.

>Durant: Left Oklahoma just to beat an aging Lebron and a Stephen Curry who is in his prime

Durant will never beat LeBron. We have witnessed this.

Pretty sure Russell wouldn't mind. He's used to carrying the team.

Durant and Westbrook going to Boston in 2017. Cap this.

why, they don't compliment each other at all

Well. Is he right?
