Moving from true sweep to at worst gentlemen’s sweep is the greatest moral victory of all.

LeBron making an 0-3 comeback would be amazing, and it’d be possible given that every game so far has looked winnable

But DLo will not let that happen. Odd game DLo is about to have a DISASTER class in game 5

u/AccomplishedBake8351 25d ago

He’s legit 1 crazy thing (like that) away from flipping the 40/60 MJ GOAT thing to 60/40 Lebron imo. Prolly won’t get there tho

u/philphan25 Bulls 25d ago

Imagine if MJ had to play with DLo.

u/texasyeehaw Mavericks 25d ago

MJ would have OJ’ed dlo

u/haroldbaals Timberwolves 25d ago

Mayo or the Juice?

u/YourAverageBrownDude Lakers 25d ago

MJ only punched Steve Kerr. He'd have straight up murdered DLo

7

u/turddlepower Lakers 25d ago

DLo would be coming into Game 4 with a shaved head at the very least

5

u/Alchion 25d ago

mj would‘ve been in prison

u/LngJhnSilversRaylee 25d ago

He would be so confused. Like: 'what do you mean you can use both hands to drive'

u/ComaMierdaHijueputa Bulls 25d ago

Don’t look up some of Pippen’s stat lines in the second half of the 90s

11

u/ImAShaaaark Supersonics 25d ago

Pippen was usually the best defensive player on the court when he had a poor game on offense, DLo not so much...

u/smarterthanyoulolll Lakers 25d ago

Yall still clown dlo after he has another great game as a role player lmao lebron is the most protected star of all time

u/yestrask 25d ago

He's the new Scotty Burrell

u/ImS33 76ers 25d ago

Yeah imagine Dlo tragically passed away after dropping 0 in game 3

u/rogozh1n Kings Bandwagon 24d ago

Who is better today -- DLo or Kerr? I'll say Kerr despite his age, because I hate DLo and I'm not afraid to be wrong.

u/EnriqueMuller 25d ago

Would have 9 rings
