you purposefully ignored two facts:

I brought up Kobe and the Lakers(don't know why I need to explain it to you once more, but apparently you didn't get it) to give you an example of team play, sth that Cavs lacked

Lebron's numbers were great but they don't tell the whole story
Did I say any of those things *defending the perimeter, not playing like a team, ect* didn't happen? Nope, I just said that The Cavaliers would have beaten the Celtics. They almost did it last year when the Celtics were healthy and had home court, so why should I believe that the Celtics would come into Cleveland and win?

Simply put, the Magic were the perfect team to matchup with the Cavaliers, the Celtics were not. I think that was proven the entire year.

Jordan is the most overrated player of all time.

He is the best player of all time, but he wasn't the flawless superhero he's become today.

You haven't heard? Jordan was the only player that played on those championship Bulls teams and he hit every shot he threw up.

That label belongs to one Timothy Tebow.

I haven't heard many people flat out make stuff up about Tebow like they do Jordan (in a serious fashion).

I think most people just acknowledge that God QB is the best college football player of all time, but he has great teammates and flaws.

From reading some posters on this board, I am under the impression that there might be another Michael Jordan out there who shot 68% in the finals, was a knock down 3 point shooter, and carried a team roughly equivalent to a 2A Wyoming high school Girls JV team to a 4-0 series victory over a team containing Magic Johnson, Dr J, Larry Bird, Charles Barkley, and Hakeem.

I feel you on that man.

Was messing with you about Tebow but I agree with what you're saying. I think MJ is the GOAT, imo but I agree that people sometimes do try to pass him off as if he didn't/doesn't have any flaws and is the perfect humanitarian on/off the court and was the PERFECT athlete.

Definitely agree with you guys.

If you ask me, those Bulls' were as close to a perfectly constructed team as we've ever seen.

In fact, I'd be willing to go as far as saying there was one player in the league better than Jordan as far as all around game and skill-level in Hakeem, but from reading opinions on the man or hearing him talked about on BSPN, you'd think he is the lovechild of Chuck Norris and Julius Erving and came into being via a virgin birth by both of them.
