No way is he top 5. Top 10 maybe, but barely, if at all. He's not a big. He plays center but when you look at him you have to look at PF's too and if you do that you can take Noah and get him the **** out.

2006:

That was the best series of his career and I thought maybe he turned the corner. Even in that series a dumb**** like me pointed out Sefalosha needed to be on Parker. He made that move game 3. He has his starting five and won't change rotations regardless of matchups. He continually says is how good we play not who we play. Really? Start Aldrich, Jackson, Heyward etc and see how that works out for you.

He's stubborn. If shit isn't working against a team try different things. I would have liked to have seen more zone this series for sure

He keeps the players motivated. He's not a horrible coach at all times, but he's strategically inept. You could do better easily.

Congrats DaKCman and Chiefs Country. I'm sure you feel as good as I feel bad.

okcchief · 06-21-2012, 10:09 PM

I seriously had to fight back tears when I saw Durant and I don't get emotional like that. He wants it bad and his day will come.

Thanks don't worry Durant is going to get a ring barring a major injury, he is just that good.

He is easily Top 10

1. Howard
2. Bynum

After that there really no standouts. You have guys like Hibbert, Hoford, Noah, Jefferson, Marc Gasol..

Noah was Top 6 in Scoring and Rebounds for Centers this year btw..

KC_Connection · 06-21-2012, 10:20 PM

Amazing to watch LeBron over these last weeks. He's truly established himself as the best player in the NBA and is well on his way to being one of the greatest of all time.

Whoa,there big fella! He has only won one title so far...
when or if he wins at least 4 more than we can have this discussion. Just put the brakes on a bit.

Howard
Bynum
M. Gasol
P. Gasol
Hibbert
Lopez
Bogut
Jefferson

Then I'd take people like Love, Duncan, Cousins, Lee, Griffin over Noah.

Noah was 19th in points and 7th in rebounds and 16th in blocks for C, btw.

The main thing about LeBron I enjoyed tonight was the class he showed. He checked Chalmers when he was celebrating a little early, and greeted each player with respect. He was arrogant and disrespectful with the decision, but he has learned from his mistakes and has matured nicely. It's definately a good story of falling from grace and rebounding from it.

okcchief · 06-21-2012, 10:33 PM

When does training camp start? I need this pain to go away. Can the Royals go on a run please?

Chiefs Pantalones · 06-21-2012, 10:35 PM

Now a month off then FOOTBALL IS BACK!!!!!!!

**luv** · 06-21-2012, 10:37 PM

After game one, I really thought OKC would have this. Props to the Heat for showing mad skills.
