No real narratives going around. Not the Bucks fault that Kyrie got hurt. Bucks deserve a lot of credit from coming back against Phoenix
Nets were just the superior team in my opinion. Injuries are a part of the game unfortunately
Don’t think the bubble really helped LeBron either. If anything it helped younger teams like Miami who didn’t have to test their inexperience on the road. Lakers were great pre pandemic that year and the 1 seed in the west. Lost their home court advantage if anything

If you want to peddle a narrative. Lebron should only have 2 championships his entire career. If you take away the ray Allen miracle 3 and the draymond suspension.
See how easy that works
His bubble "championship" should have a huge asterisk by it.

Don't think anyone ever dismissed Milwaukees's championship
I said the Nets were better and in my opinion would've won the whole thing last year if Kyrie doesn't go down, which is a pretty well accepted opinion. Bucks won a nail biter series in 7 games after getting rolled the first 2 games with the Nets healthy. It's similar to the 2019 finals when everyone knows the Warriors beat the Raptors in 5 if both teams are healthy. Injuries are part of the game -- not Milwaukee's or Toronto's fault. So their championships are legitimate.
I think the Bucks are not gonna win the title this year because they likely will run into a healthier Nets team this time around plus they are simply not as good of a team defensively. Injuries can always happen of course and change everything. Maybe that'll aid Milwaukee again, maybe luck will reverse. We'll see.
I don't have anything against Giannis, I actually really like the guy. He could be one of the greatest ever and enter discussions with guys like MJ and LeBron if he improves his three-point shot and can win more championships. I like that he was loyal to franchise, unlike LeBron, despite Milwaukee being a pretty crappy place to live. He seems like a good guy and a gamer.

This was simply not the narrative you were peddling. But fair enough.
And i don't know the warriors beat the raptors if healthy. The raptors more or less stomped them in the finals.
So many people in the media made it like the Warriors were so unbeatable to make excuses for Lebron. Kawhi sawed that wasn't the case. Might has also showed it with Spurs if he didn't get injuried himself.

I remember some gorilla math the sports media did for Lebron to give him more championships then Jordan.
The one specific one i remember is that Lebron's win against the warriors was actually worth 2 championships because of the monumental odds staked against him. LOL
What i enjoyed about Jordan is he left nothing to chance. 6 championships and he was taken to a game 7 once, ever, in any round. Amazing!

No. Miami was #1 when I posted.When you posted this, were they the 1 seed at the time?
I'm asking b/c if you can get +900 to win the title and you are a 1 seed with a few weeks to go, then i agree that its GREAT value
Being a celtic hater a fan of the HEAT, i hope my team wins and not yours
Your boys got us last night. We're adjusting without Rob Williams. We played uncharasterically bad in crunch time. I'm not absolutely positive, but I don't think we're Championship material without the big athletic guy with the 76" wingspan at the rim.
You're boys looked good. Gonna be fun.
Not even sure the argument. When Jordan won his 1st he basically won 6 in a row.
Lebron has been to more finals but, like i stated, has played about 50 more seasons to get there.
In what years did Jordan truly not "get there?"
I understand what you're trying to say...it just doesn't apply to Jordan's career.
