I think the main factor for him would be that Lebron would be on that team

Yes there is. USC can tell you about a tainted championship.

That, plus he's the one who started the superteams. Apparently Kevin Love just wasn't all-star enough for him.

Shouldn't supporting cast relative to his peers also be taken into account? He was starting to come into his own when the west was still the strongest it had ever been and the other top players had a capable running mate. Something he never had in Minny. Also he was there six seasons but he broke out as a player his third year in the league and was hurt another.

Also his overall per game numbers have dropped but his per 100 possession numbers still look to be in the same ball park so it is not like he is not producing in his new third wheel role with two players who don't compliment him well.

We're not talking about college, we're talking about the NBA. Apples and oranges.

Not true. Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Ray Allen started this with the Celtics.

You made no distinction when you said there was "no such thing" as tainted championships...

Pretty sure there was an NBA Finals in the 80s that featured like 8 or 9 Hall of Famers.


This notion that Super Teams just started is pretty funny.

Doesn't count because the GM set that all up and they had nothing to do with it /s

Because it should have been obvious.

But to make you feel better, no there is no such thing as a tainted NBA championship title. None, whatsoever. Whatever you think it is, it's just made up in your head, there is no tainted NBA Champion, that does not exist.

What makes you think it does or can't exist? Roids, bad calls, gambling, unethical front office moves such as larceny, fraud, etc...

The only qualification made that "championships" can't be tainted. If anything you should have qualified your statement.

I've schooled you in every argument I've ever had with you. For free nonetheless. I should start collecting my tax money from your dumb arse.

Because there are no tainted titles, there just aren't.

Again, it's made up in your head, it does not exist.

Yeah, and Lebron has never teamed up with Kyrie, Melo, and PG on an NBA team yet either. Doesn't mean it cannot happen.

His replies to me certainly insinuate that he disagrees with my take, so I don't know what you're talking about.


You're arguing that Love is not an elite top 10 NBA player. He never said he was. In fact he specifically said he wasn't.

Yea, that isn't 1/10th of Kevin Durant teaming up with a 73 win team.

And guess what, that title isn't tainted either.

And like I said, he also made a complete straw man of my argument, but unless I missed it, I don't think you called him out for that either. Just let that one slide, I guess.

This would be a "tainted championship" to you?
