If we can't use Jordan then I'll move Vince to 1st team and put Ray Allen on my 2nd team. I love those elite shooters like Reggie, Ray and Mark Price.

Lol, you never saw Russell. It's supposed to be based on players from your NBA watching days.

LOL so what! I want to be a Homer!

Ok I'll go with Patrick Ewing.

Colin Cowherd is deep throating the Heat hard right now. Trying to convince people to hate OKC. Ripping every player on the roster, trying to say then entire organization should be hated because of what happened in Seattle. But then again, he is biased toward the Seattle area.

Damn Herd went on forever about if you hate LeBron you must hate all of OKC. Goes on to say KD can't play defense, Westbrook is selfish and Harden is just "the guy with the beard". He isn't just defending LeBron he is ripping every single aspect of the Thunder in the process. You mad bro?

You should never, ever listen to Colin Cowherd. He is the definition of a hack, equal footing with Skip Bayless. He is not a giver of opinions and insight he is a hater and attention monger.

Plenty of times I skip right through him. I rewind back a couple hours on Mike&Mike and then fast forward to SVP when that's done. But not today. I agree he is very equal to Skip.

If we are picking our favorites that we seen play I would pick


C-Dream

PF-Karl Malone

SF-LeBron James

SG-Reggie Miller

PG-Isiah Thomas/John Stockton

Well, it is a shame. Seattle > Stinktown

i think hes the biggest heat fan boy on espn, so thats no surprise... i really don't see how any of the players would be at fault for the nba bolting out of Seattle tho

ESPN are all Heat fan boys. Says a lot that they dedicated a whole sub section of the website to The Heat. "Whether you're a fan or a hater, get your Heat updates here"...how corny and shit stirring can these fuckers get? They also never miss a chance to throw it in Cleveland's face.

If Cowherd is a Seattle guy, i can understand him having some hope that Clay Bennett fails but you got to be professional. It is part of his deal though. Cowherd is pretty much a troll on the radio. He's a less "oh look at me" version of Skip Bayless. The talent on OKC is far more likeable than Miami and so if the franchise. Also, OKC did it the honorable respectable way. They built from the ground up. Great drafting, cap control, smart trading and they play like a team. Miami represents the culture that hurts the NBA. The superstar and large market driven culture that leads people to believe small market teams are oppressed by shallow ballers and greedy suits. OKC represents everything people want to see all the time in the NBA. THey do belong in Seattle though. Clay Bennett is a scumbag for that...however, Scott Brooks is a great coach(undefeated as Kings head coach) and Durant should have been the MVP this season.

ESPN analyst talent is far from professional. Every time there is a game with not just the Heat but any team with a star that panders to the novelty shoe wearing, authentic jersey collecting people that only watch basketball for certain players and usually only argue about the GOAT(like whats going on in this thread) rather than talk about the actual game of basketball, the ESPN halftime crew is insufferable. Magic is just there..but Mike Wilborn? give me a break. And as much as i love Jon Barry from his exciting seasons here, he is probably the biggest star nuthugger there is on ESPN. On TNT, all Shaq, Chuck and Kenny do is dick around but they come off as the better analyst as well.

Im not sure why ESPN wouldnt want the Thunder to win just as much as the Heat? They would both be great stories.

LeBron winning is the story they want, they been rubbing this guys shaft since he was in high school...and you know it.

Oh I agree LeBron winning would be HUGE and thats what I want also but if it doesnt happen the Thunder have a great set of star players also that would be a great story.

They'll make a story out of whatever happens...but they have their story of preference.

I doubt ESPN's knees were knocking to cover Dirk Nowitzki and his flock of geezers winning the big one last year. There was a story there but it didnt become the story until it was all said and done. Last year they had the fireworks on ESPN set to start jumping on LeBron's haters or spend the next few months not celebrating the Heat's championship, but a single player finally entering the discussion. All their coverage leading up the end was all about the Heat.

This is why NFL and MLB are better and are covered better. Because the players and culture don't allow this annoying shallow shit...you have stars but they don't rule the media and fan interest or the way the game is regulated. At the end of the daty, it's all about the teams. LeBron could actually play on a losing team every year but he would still be the center of attention. Remember McGrady? his teams sucked but he was the second most talked about thing in the NBA. The hot topic for a few years in the NBA was who was better between a perennial champion in Kobe Bryant and a player like McGrady. How can that happen? I blame Jordan. NBA basketball isnt about teams winning championships...it's all about being like mike. Fuck that.

Dream > Duncan
Griffin > Odom
Pippen > Allen, but Allen fills a huge role that your team lacks.
McGrady = Drexler
Kidd > Rose, also Kidd fills a role your team lacks.

Lamar Odom is actually one of a somebody's favorite players?
