That was a very clever transition between 2013 and 2014. I thought It was the same game. lol
+kseries1981 ikr
True.
I don't think many people got that part.
I thought im just the only one who noticed it xD
I saw that too lol
i was like "what? what do yo mean bruh? then i saw it, and i was like "k"...
The best reaction in my opinion was Dirk Nowitzki
😂😂 same
Agreed
+Nana Gyambibi ow right, me too man, he was very emotional, the kind that makes you feel inspired,
your definitely right bro because all the other people was probably going to get drunk and have fun but dirk actually thought of his teammates and himself
Hell ya! No lie I choked up a little on that moment lol
Dirk's reaction in 2011 was the best and most memorable final moment in my opinion. Also awesome watching the class shown between the Heat and Spurs players and coaches in 2013 and 2014.
anyone else try looking where the ball lands?
+2fresh4yew I did
+2fresh4yew was wondering as well haha
+2fresh4yew THOSE TRAINERS WENT FOR IT YOU SEE NEAR THE SCORES TABLE!!
Iggy catches it
Hopefully in some kids hands
That Dirk Nowitzki made me tear up a bit.
+Vol deMort same man
Dirk getting one in 2011 was perfect
The 2013 and 2014 Finals transitioned into eachother so smooth I thought it was from the same finals at first lol
sameeeeee
same😂😂
my favorite was the 2011 by Dallas cause it was so unexpected and I love historic runs like that
Exactly. Also the 04 Pistons and tbe like you said the Mavs. I was jumping and screaming for Dirk
Derick Fisher showed good class though going to iverson after the game
Same thing with the 06 Heat
+Megadipdop1 I was way too hyped about that one.Shaq getting his 4th, GP finally getting one, and then the that young god Wade was playing like Jordan.
+wedontknow I cried at the 04 Pistons part. I'm from Detroit and that was the only time they won a championship in my lifetime. (born in 98)
3:44 love how the mic keeps cutting off, you know KG was cussing his ass off with excitement.
So much Lakers and Spurs footage...#dynasties.
+sabishiihito #riggedleague
lol jk..........sort of
+Tom H hater
Zach Shut your mouth child
5:17
Dirk Nowitzki true definition of perseverance. After countless years of making the playoffs and sticking with the Mavericks. Through the good, the bad, and the ugly. Reaching the NBA finals and losing against the Heat in "06. Didn't ask for a trade or leave as a free agent seeking a championship contending team, such as other NBA players. To comeback 5 years later and finally reaching his goal! against the same team, it's just spectacular to watch and to see him achieve his dream. PHENOMENAL!
Damn kobe and duncan tho,, what they did in the past 15yrs cant be forgotten
+BballLover702 Amazing how little parity there is in basketball (and I'm not complaining about that). If you go back to the 91 Finals until now, there are so many multiple championships by a just few teams.
+sabishiihito The 1970's arguably had the most parity. From 1970-1979
New York Knicks (1970, 1973)
Milwaukee Bucks (1971)
Los Angeles Lakers (1972)
Boston Celtics (1974, 1976)
Golden State Warriors (1975)
Portland Trail Blazers (1977)
Washington Bullets (1978)
Seattle Supersonics (1979)
Compared to the other decades
1959-1969 Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers
1980-1990 Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics, Philadelphia 76ers, and Detroit Pistons
1991-1998 Chicago Bulls and Houston Rockets
1999-2010 San Antonio Spurs, Los Angeles Lakers, Detroit Pistons, Miami Heat, Boston Celtics
2011-2015 Dallas Mavericks, Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs, Golden State Warriors
With how stacked the Western Conference any number of teams can realistically win the West, but a Cleveland Cavaliers dynasty could also be possible under David Blatt and if LeBron James keeps his superstar talent over the next five years.
EDIT- Forgot to include the Pistons in 2004 and Celtics in 2008. As a bonus, it should be mentioned that of during the 1980s the Pistons only won in '89 and the Sixers only one in '83. The Sixers also ended the Boston Celtics 8 championship streak in 1967.
***** You forgot Detroit in the 1999-2010 era so that's 5 teams, but SA had 4 and LA had 5 so it looks like more parity than there really was. Those '60s and '90s though...lol rough times!
Much respect to both die hard Laker fan but Duncan is legend.
That was really incredible, there's none finals which didn't have Duncan , Kobe or wade and James from 1999-2014
People don't give '06 wade enough credit. The heat had no business winning the finals wade was a monster
+Chris Rodriguez Wade is always underated ,I think in his prime he was the best player on the planet ,he isnt a choker like Lebron and the others
He had shaq, Gary Payton, Alonzo mourning, Jason Williams... He had players so yeah.
+Jesse Goodwin none of them were near their primes...
+The Star relax
What you mean they weren't supposed to win? Wade had Shaq vs Dirk and nobody else at that time.
As a Spurs fan, I was too young to catch up 99 and 03 finals. I was absolutely broken at G6 of 2013 finals (The Ray Allen Shot). But at this moment, look over all these, I am just purely deeply moved by the beauty of basketball and competition, and how spiritually great these players are.
I'd like to see a video of all the people that get hit by the balls that get thrown into the air at the end of most of these games.
😂😂😂
OMG😂😂😂😂😂
THE MIAMI HEAT ARE CHAMPIONS OF THE BASKETBALL WORLD(then Wade throws the ball up) 🤣🤣🤣
I just realized I've watched every single one of these games live. Thank you for this. This was a real trip down memory lane.
Crazy how the spurs and lakers combine for 10 of the last 17 championships! Such dominant teams in their own right
Including their Finals series losses, the Spurs and Lakers made it to the Finals a total of 13 times combined since 1999.
but now, it looks like both eras have ended, sadly.
+Fireives1967 Kawhi will be back for sure
Yeah but he's not a part of that era, he's a part of the new one.
+Kevin Muhlbach true
I don't know why people keep asking where the 2014 Spurs championship clip is when not only does the court change at 6:30 but literally seconds later you hear Mike Breen say "The Spurs are the 2014 NBA Champions." With that being said, I will update the description with timestamps for every championship.
EDIT- Also, I'm tired of people asking what the song is when it's in the description. It's Ludovico Einaudi- "Divenire"
That's because ABC didn't show the Final possession. If you can find me a video of ABC showing a camera angle of them dribbling it out in the final seconds then show me because to my knowledge this is the only footage of the final possession.
+Rainbow Senpai RACE TO SEIS!
That's what they say down here in SA lol
+daddydog09 I know. I live in SA.
+TheFletchFx hey douche why dont u make urself a video . go fuck urself
+Rainbow Senpai you did great man props to u.
The music in the back round make this video so much sweeter
This is a beautiful video. RIP Kobe
Mario chalmers traveled last seconds in 2013
Wouldn't have made a difference.
It was a joke
+Syfly Hasan maybe
+Carlos Hernandez Lmao they were traveling and flopping the whole finals bruh
ever team flops
This made me emotional. I miss my Spurs. RIP Kobe.
I'd love to see them win again, but if they never do I'll always have the Tim Duncan Era. 55+ wins a year, title contention every year, a close-knit, smart, classy bunch of players...it was a greater experience than I ever could have imagined when I started following the Spurs 40 years ago.
@@dash_r_media I started following closely around 2009 around age 12. I didn’t realize how spoiled of a sports fan I was. I really do miss them but I am enjoying this seasons young core.
From the devastation of 06 to the pure God given joy of 2011. I'll never forget it.
So nice to see Mitch Richmond get to dribble the ball out to win the 2002 Finals
That Dirk moment 5:21
buto1118 cuz he know you wasn't supposed to win it
I feel bad for Iverson. Man single handedly brought his scrap of a team to the finals only to face off against Shaq and Kobe
He could have been considered one of the best players of all time if he had won a ring
+MajesticAce no lol
Joseph Lakers24 Ai was better than kobe
+MajesticAce L. not at all
+JJ Watt eat dirt You wouldn't be saying that if Kobe didn't have those rings with stacked teams
Okay, since this video had a huge surge in viewership as of recently and I'm getting a lot of comments. I'm going to clarify some things.
Please read the description before asking me any questions. I've been getting so many comments in which the answer can be found in the description.
Your going to add game 7 last play of the finals right
UA-cam should have a update system you could edit your video every year would be LIT
it's nice to see players lik Mitch Richmond win a championship glad he got one
can't wait for next season. the warriors aren't making it out of the second round.
That moment you realized the Spurs, Heat, and Lakers made their finals appearance from 1999-2014
+supershadowan you got that right... until last year's finals either team actually showed up, I know about this year, spurs have it really tough against GS
Seeing a lot of players win their first championships is so special for them, that's why I love this video.
1999: Tim Duncan
2000: Kobe, Shaq, and Fisher
2001: Basically no one (repeat)
2002: Same (three peat)
2003: Tony Parker
2004: Basically everyone
2005: Basically no one (2nd)
2006: Dwyane Wade
2007: Basically no one (3rd)
2008: Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Rajon Rondo
2009: Lamar Odom, Pau Gasol
2010: Basically no one (repeat)
2011: Dirk Nowitzki
2012: Lebron James
2013: Basically no one (repeat)
2014: Danny Green and Kawhi Leonard
2015: EVeryone
Don't forget about Jason Kidd, Shawn Marion, and Peja Stojakovich for 2011. These men finally got their rings after years of getting their great teams get knocked out of the playoffs.
U think u slick now?
You forgot David Robinson for 1999. I feel like everyone forgets about him, idk why no one ever mentions him in conversations of great players.
2005 Spurs vs Pistons.. the NBA Finals ever...
skalawitz
On this vid maybe. 1984 NBA Finals will always be the best ever.
FavreianVengeance I can agree to that idea.. but I'm a defense oriented player that's why I love the 2005 finals..
skalawitz it was totally an amazing matchup. the only other one here close to that was 2010 boston and la.
That series was fixed for the spurs because Stern was mad about the malice at the palace. Game 7 had 18fouls called on just Ben/rasheed wallace & Mcdysse. Sorry but the spurs weren't that good they they called horrible fouls the entire game on all the piston big guys so Duncan could nobody left to guard him. Pistons were winning until all 3 fouled out and were in the penalty. Fuck you David Stern.
+Henry Hill I'm going watch it again and see for myself..
I'm a die hard Lakers fan and those early 2000s and 09-10 championships brings me to tears... Kobe will be missed and I enjoyed every second of the Boston rivalry. I don't think we'll ever be that good again. Phil Jackson and the rest of the laker crew are so missed. R.I.P lakers... #Thankyoukobe
Kobe Wade Lebron and Duncan
What a magical video. So much history, so many legends, so many legacies, so much memories... all rolled together in a matter of 7 minutes. Thank you for sharing to those who love basketball!
every year since 1999 till 2014 it was either heat lakers or spurs in the finals!
except boston, Detroit, and Dallas
+Alex Rud Boston faced the lkaers, detorit faced spurs and lakers, dallas faced heat. your point?
+Jesus-is LORD he's saying that they showed up more. Those teams he didn't mention were only there once.
Jaylon Wilson k. But the spurs, lakers or heat, were always in the finals for that 15 year stretch.
+andre pugosa now from 2014 its going to be GSW, spurs, cleveland or what ever team lebron goes to next lmao
I've been a warriors fan since 2006, and this made me cry lol
+Massie McMan No. I've been a fan since Baron Davis. Monta Ellis. Jason Richardson. Andris Biedrins even. But it is nice that Steph is getting the attention he deserves. Trust me bro, definitely not a bandwagon. I even have a "We Believe" shirt from back then lol. If you remember Don Nelson was the coach and I really liked his take on Basketball. So call me what you want, because the Warriors have always been my team. It's ironic bc we won a Championship? No. I've been through all the hard times with this team, Curry fucking up his ankles time and time again. Not making the playoffs so many times. So whatever you think bro. And curry ain't even my favorite player. I just love him jumpshot. Andre Iguodala is my favorite on the team. Again. Whatever you think
+Massie McMan bandwAgons man
YO SHUT THE FUCK YOU FUCKIN HATERS. YOU MAD THAT THE WARRIORS WON THIS SHIT. #WARRIORSORNAH
u still a fucking bandwagon
+TylerSSX3 Don't worry about these idiots... Enjoy your team's championship run, for it was something special. I'd personally love to see a rematch next year with both teams at full strength (meaning Cavs, really) with Kyrie and Love healthy. Just from a basketball fan point of view. I'm not a fan of either teams. I'm a Lakers fan and we suck right now and realistically, we don't have much of a shot at the playoffs, let alone the Finals.
I think that series would go to 7 games and both teams would be so fucking exhausted by the end of it. It'd be great and I still don't know who would win. Would be cool to see.
god damn i love this sport. the raw emotion.
That timeout by the Pacers around the 2.5 second mark KILLS me. Seeing Reggie and Larry in such pain, waiting to get on the court to accept their bitter defeat. Another ringless season for Reggie, and Larry getting beat by the purple and gold AGAIN. Breaks my heart for 2 of the greatest players to grace this game.
0:46 respect for derek fisher chasing AI
amazing
I will wait 15 years to next video
Amazing video, it's so great to see how the NBA has changed as it's dynasties have rose and fell. Thanks for the upload!
The Knicks couldn't have drawn a better play?
Hahahaha the way your profile picture matches your comment is hilarious 😂
+Billy Neville lol yeah!!!
No. They are the Knicks.
How bout the Mavs in 06? Why do you let Terry take that shot and not Dirk?
Great!! You should include the Cavs 2016 nba champions
No only real championships that one was RIGGED
Seeing my Dubs hold up that trophy after 40 agonizing years made me tear up with joy.
now you seem like a true fan
+ShadowGaming We only flame the bandwagoners this guy's real and I respect him for that. Anyway we're still gonna win this one for the land
+Adam Murphy yea just because he has the old warriors logo lmao. He's a bandwagon just like the rest of them.
+ValkyrieProduction bandwagoners wouldn't know that was a logo of their
+Adam Murphy it's called Google.
2013 still hurts so much. Utter devastation. But 2014 was pure elation.
The moment Derek Fisher ran to catch up Allen and give him a hug. #Sportsmanship
+Giri Dharan yeah I always liked that
The evolution in video quality is amazing to me.
my favorite one was 2014 Spurs,redemption!
no
+Alex Martinez u must be a Heat fan
+Dio Con Kind of obvious
Greatest finals of my life!
+SportsNation2015 yeah I just realized he is lol
That was a great blast from the past
Ginobili was shooting free throws in like 3 of the spurs championships XD
Illuminati confirmed! 😨😨
He was shooting free throws in 3 championships.
There are 3 sides in a triangle.
Illuminati confirmed!
dat hair tho
+Jaykh2o he lowkey had all the bitches back then 😝
Does anyone notice he didn't put 2014 when the spurs won in 5 games
Emeka Ezenwa What are you talking about? It's at 6:30.
***** You just put the final seconds, you didn't even show the ball. I got confused too. XD
***** That's because ABC didn't show them dribbling it out the last few seconds. You should have noticed the court changed during the transition.
***** I did notice - after I thought it wasn't there. Anyway, it's a great video, thanks a lot! :)
fr right
Mario charmers traveled at the end against the Spurs 😂
Lol Like I don't care if they're gonna win the championship CALL IT
Seeing the Spurs winning it in the beginning of the video, through out the video, and at right before the end aswell says alot 🤔
i didn't know the nets made it a few times
Nets????????????
Do you mean Detroit
+Jesse Goodwin The Nets made the Finals in 2002 and 2003.
spurs wip there ass
+Chris Smoove Jr. ur young or not a longtime basketball fan
I missed the Spurs clip too but if you rewatch it it's there. Just good editing
RIP Kobe Bryant 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Lakers and Spurs, it s 13 finals and 10 titles combined. Awesome
it's quite funny that first time champ player tend to throw the ball into the air and a second or more time champ player knows to collect that ball, poor Rick Fox
Are you going to add the 2016 NBA Finals?
man the emotions, shit got me.
Hi Coach,
Trevor Cook from Australia.
Great explanation on the use of the spin of the ball in shooting.
When I teach shooting the target is the back of the ring and the spin assist the ball to go down as it is a back spin.
You explanations on the use of the different parts of your hand is great I teach and discuss this with my player.
Love talk to you again on shooting.
2000, 2001, 2002, 2009, 2010 Lakers all day
+TheLaLakersFans im a lil skeptical about the '00 wcf series but '02 Sacremento got robbed straight up
+TheLaLakersFans yeah Phil Jackson most likey one of the greatest coaches in NBA History 6 Titles with the Bulls and 5 with the Lakers. His teams three peated 3 times Bulls 91, 92 , 93, Bulls 96, 97, 98, Lakers 2000, 01, 02 then back to back 2009, 2010 now thats tuff to beat.
+TheLaLakersFans Yeah the kings were robbed
+Eric Kennedy yeah it was i think the nba is still fixed
+Eric Kennedy If they had hit more of their free throws in that series (you know they had MORE FTA than the Lakers did, even though Sac was a jump shooting team while LA was an inside team, right?) and not choked game 7 at home, they'd have won.
Are you updating this since the cavs won?
I would not want to be the guy to get hit by the ball when they throw it up high like that!!
Yea id rather catch it and sell it
David Drauyawa lmao!
+zach elam Seriously bro! haha! Id be asking for used towels, shoes , shit anything from the NBA finals.
David Drauyawa yeah bro! lmao! if i got anything that was like game worn or used by a player i would die!
That 2011 Dallas team was arguably the best NBA playoff team of all time with the toughest road to the finals. Motivation from past failures the came together as a unit and and won it all.
Not seeing the Kings here in this video for the year 2002 makes me sad.
the Kings lost to Lakers in the WCF,Lakers won the ship that year
+Dio Con rigged af that's why
+Ryan Stephens I was rooting hard for that Kings team that year too
why does someone have to always bring this up
The same choke artist Kings that lost Game 7 at home and shot 53% from the free throw line in a season that they shot like 80% as a team in the regular season?
Mad respect to Fisher's sportsmanship and Bruce and the Spurs-Heat duels.
can someone do this with the finals mvp announcements? from 1999-2015
+Jermayll Smith I could definitely try.
Looking forward to seeing 2016 in the updated version.
Same here. The 52 year drought is over! Can't wait to see the Indians win that World Series we deserve. Hopefully we have a repeat of our '90s team. Going to the WS year after year.
6:18 travel by mario. NBA is rigged SA had a chance to win 0/10
U really think dey gon score 7 points in 2.8 secs
Its a joke :L
thøtbrëãkêr täŷføè maybe if they had reggie miller or t-mac
+big meech they did have t-mac.
+iluvugoldenblue lol
Can i post this on fb? Meaning ill upload this as a fb video. Ill credit you in. Let me know 😀
I would much rather you just link this video.
coo.. fb video makes it "auto play" and convenient to viewer.. but yeah i understand whatever you prefer. 👌 thanks!
great video man but why it is under Pets and animals
I never noticed that. I'm wondering why too.
Every time I see Paul and Ray hug man it's just the best thing
haha from 1999-2010 it was pretty much Lakers and Spurs
miami
+Michael Brush yeah, and Detroit and Boston, but for the most part it was those 2 teams.
+Michael Brush Miami was only in it once from 99 to 10.
Yep, the only year during that timeframe that did not feature the Lakers or Spurs in the Finals. I guess the only link to those two teams was Shaq being on the Heat and winning the title in 2006.
Jay Stone Dallas was the only western coy team besides them to play in the finals
Well done. Great video
But the Spurs are gonna be great this season
+Jordan Fernandez yeah the Spurs are definitly the favorites in the west.
Either Tim, Kobe,Wade, LeBron, or Dirk is in every single finals in this video! Much respect to them. Even if they won or lost they played their hearts out!
Maybe one day i will see my Timberwolves winning Nba title :P
+MrBysiorek definitely not next season XD
dont worry. With the young talent they have. I could see them making a deep run when Towns and Wiggins get in their mid 20's. Next year could be a 40 win year because they added a very good coach
They have the pieces. They just need to put it all together
2004 was the closest the Timberwolves got. Made it to the Western Conference Finals that post-season.
They will in about 5 years with Wiggins, Towns, and LaVine, those three will develop into champions
excellent montage but the background music was a dampener for me personally, thx for the upload though!
Lebron salty as fuck in 2014.
And 15' lmao! LeBitch
Anybody would be. It's not just LeBron.. Kobe was really salty against the Celtics and the Pistons as well. It's normal to be salty after playing 82 regular season games and jumping to about 16-28 games in the postseason/finals and walking away a loser with absolutely nothing after doing all of that. It IS sad, my friend.
AaexHD Lol. LeBron had no help he won't be salty next year when the cav's win the nba championship
Syfly Hasan Kobe was salty against the Celtics because his team gave up and they just got destroyed by 39 points lmao. Much different situation.
How is it a different situation? A loss is still a loss, if you aren't salty about coming that far and losing then you didn't do anything to be there.
4:08 😔😔😔😔😔😔
Get ready for the Cavs winning the 2016 Finals
If Steph gets injured..
+Ares Henriquez thunder up 2-1 right now tho
Cavs and warriors in finals again. They don't look good right now but I'm pretty sure it'll be a rematch
THAT IS FUNNY
Sorry, GSW are too good
These make me smile, especially the 2009 one 😊
And the warriors
"As the dreams season is over"
Curry throws the ball in the air"
That young roster jumping up and down, nobody new the Warriors had this much potential, I knew Curry had it in him, but back2back M.V.P, good job,
The good ol Laker days will always be remembered
#Laker4Life #Purple&Gold💜💛
Am I the only one who knows LeBron has is 2-6 in the finals everyone always says he's 2-5 and forget when her was in Cleveland in 2007
The 2007 NBA Finals had the lowest ratings ever for a championship series. I feel like many have forgotten that series.
Actually he is 2-4, Kobe is 5-2, MJ is 6-0. Nobody does it the way you do it.
Yeah, I believe he meant to write 2/6. They hyphen implies wins and losses rather than wins over total series played.
That Cleveland "team" was LeBron and only him that's why lmao
No he 2-4 .......2 wins 4 losses......=6 finals
damn I still have to wait 10 years to watch the next video....
Kobe is the GOAT of the 2000s
+Nor Norranun why compare
Nor Norranun
what do you mean? kids know kobe, he recently just retired.
1960's: Bill Russell
1970's: Wilt Chamberlain
Late 1970's: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
1980's: Magic Johnson and Larry Bird
1990's: Michael Jordan
2000's: Kobe Bryant
2010's: Lebron James
Present: Stephen Curry
This is how I see it from every decade. I didn't count 1940's and 1950's.
Duncan is at least equal
Duncan?
love the music who composed it?
OMG lebron needs to win this year.
L

76ers 2016 NBA Champions 5-77
Lebron has been in the past 5 finals
+DeJuan George so he's illuminati??
6 with this one
+Syklo 7
7, 1 in Cleveland, 2 against spurs, OKC, Dallas 2 GSW
6 consecutive garcia
Ginobili shooting those clutch free throws
Why are they called often the world champions? Didn't know that the NBA is also played outside America?
+Axerocker85 A bit of a reach, but the Toronto Raptors play in Canada.
They are called the world champions because the NBA is the premier basketball league in the world, so the champion is the best team in the world aka the World Champions
Josh Callaway Bullshit, no matter if the NBA is the best in the world, its not a world championship! The winner is the NBA champion, neither more nor less.
+Axerocker85 lol they are the world champions its no bs unless some other team wanna compete them for it lol which wont happen they are simply the best team in the world thus earning the title world champions
+Axerocker85 And they also called Baseball finals "The World Series" lol
please update for 2016 finals for cavs winning champs
The cavs will win this year I hope
They will Lebron will bring home that title
not gonna happen though :/
this series won't be as close as the GSW-OKC series. cavs don't have what it takes to beat this Warriors team.
+Jay Bal maybe lol
Spoiler alert they didn’t!!!! Lol JK 3-1 lead
This made me cry
Amazing as Lebron malone James is, he finds a way to dissapear in big moments.
2007 Finals - 35% FG and 6 turnovers a game, missed game tying shot, Game 4 he had 20 bricks, 6 TO, & 2/6 FT losing by 1.
2008 - 35% FG, 5+ turnovers a GM, 2/18 FG 10 turnovers in GM 1 with a missed game tying shot,
2010 - the famous quit game in GM 5, 34% FG and 6 turnovers a game in GMs 4-5-6 vs Boston

remember when lebron said if he took 37 shots he'd average 60 or 70? look it up. nba finals determined that was a lie
Lebrons supporting cast in the finals.
2007 loss-59th
2011 loss-10th (only loss that he should have won)
2012 win-21st (as an underdog)
2013 win-38th
2014 loss-53rd
2015 loss- 58th
He had no team whatsoever so any team could basically zone in on him and help off their man. Basically he was playing 1 on 5. Also u can see his two winning teams were average or slightly above average. Proving he doesnt need a "stacked" team to win. Just a slightly above average team
iJustGotLucky you just put random numbers beside years and ignore the hall of famers and allstars he played with
Its the per rank of the supporting cast he played with in the finals. Meaning if they played good there "random numbers" would be better. And name 1 hof hes played with besides a old washed up shaq and d wade
Moses Maestro A Convenient of you to leave out his 2012 and 2013 numbers.
Also, how exactly do you pad stats when you're scoring 28 points on 57% overall and 40% 3PT shooting?
I don't like the guy anymore since he left Miami, but you're just blindly hating. He was the only reason why the Cavs were any good from 2003-2009, and the only reason they made it to last year's Finals, too.
***** Love really? Iriving was the only help he had
Can you do the same for the NCAA Tourney?
We should've won in 2010 and got 2 championships in 3 years, lakers you lucky Kendrick Perkins was out for season in game 6 in the first quarter, we were up 3-2 going into game 6 of the 2010 finals and when Perkins got hurt we fell apart and got crushed by like 15, but in game 7 we would've EASILY WON because we didn't have Perkins and only lost by 4, lucky lakers, but we should have banner 18 up in the raptors
Lakers to good my man
+mexicangamingorange213 1 lakers suck ass
+Joseph Charette Red Sox suck, Celtics suck
+Joseph Charette HATER DETECTED. Go home boy. And IF Kobe didnt have such a bad shooting night the Lakers would have won by 20+ and if if if. Stop crying. You lost.
Celtics suck bruh
The look on there faces when the clock hits 0 says a lot
