Championships are a TEAM accomplishment, not individual
To argue otherwise is to say that Adam Morrison is better than LeBron James. Use your heads and don't take the lazy way out in analyzing player skill.

no one but most people are already talking about them being the champions, i think boston will beat them in the eastern conference finals, it's easier to deal with orlando than boston, boston is 8 deep right now, rondo, ray allen, pierce,kg, perk, jo, big baby and sheed ( assuming he comes back)

You are right. Kobe has lot's of help. All champions do. But I think that's the point, The Big 3 will need some help. However with Lebron, Wade, and Bosh, they won't need much. The potential of this team is  .... But I won't put them in the Championship yet. Actually I won't put any team in there yet because 3-peating is VERY VERY tough. AGE is still a factor for Boston and Miami needs to find SYNERGY with their big 3 along with the rest of their TEAM.. |

It will be an interesting season, I'm sure. This is a team sport, not a 3 player sport. Gotta make it healthy through how many games before the championship is even held.

I have no doubt the Heat will win multiple championships with their big 3 plus spare parts.

Wtf? Don't bullshit your way around the topic. Either rings count as a measure of skill or they don't. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

What is your point? These guys aren't 23 year old guys coming together that have been in the league for 2 years and don't know what it takes to win. This isn't fukkin Rudy Gay and OJ Mayo coming together.

Yes. +100> = less than likely to win championship.

They're good for people too lazy/stupid to use more objective measures. Otherwise, they can hint that a player's good in the spotlight or under pressure BEFORE you break down numbers.
If you had to go with just one measure of skill, look at what happens to a team, or what doesn't happen, when that player's not on the court. That's not a perfect measure for several reasons, but it's way better than using championship count.

they have the lowest odds in the sportsbooks so that means vegas is thinking they're the favorites this year, just don't give people excuses when they lose this year it will be pretty funny 2 of the top 3 best players in the same team and one of the top 15 players in the league
