If I had to guess, Lebron probably has a lot of respect for the Bulls, as well as many other teams in the East and certainly the West. I just think he's supremely confident in his abilities - which he should be - so it comes across to his detractors as him being disrespectful.

Bulls fans still mad about him choosing Miami. I love watching LeBron play as you'll likely not see another talent like that for a long time.

The meatballs should get the **** over "The Decision" and just watch greatness while they can.

Well the first time it happened we thought it meant we could at least compete. Turned out to be not as true as we thought. Idk what the excuse we had afterwards.
Bulls did compete, they just didn't win in 2011.

Eh, I've never really liked LeBron... he's always rubbed me the wrong way, the decision just added to it.. That said, I'd take him on my team.

. It's extremely hard to compare because of surrounding talent. Love wasn't rebounding 13 per game next to gasol. I'm asking what makes Kevin Love better than Niko right now? What does he do? He looks shorter, slower, and I'm not so sure he is a better shooter but he does have better shot selection. His post game is superior, his offensive understanding and defensive positioning? I think it's damn close. He was the player I compared him to based on euro clips as opposed to Nowitski.

I greatly enjoyed viewing the head to head and Niko getting the better of him on that night.,
Pretty much everything except maybe outside shooting.

I don't think you've seen much Kyrie Irving. Irving may be the best scoring pg in the league outside of Curry and Westbrook. Rose isn't shutting him down. Hell, Rose didn't shut him down in the playoffs last year...not that I remember. So the idea of the point guard who is just not getting used to going to the basket on a routine basis again...manhandling Kyrie Irving...is over the top.
Perhaps manhandle is the wrong term, but historically, Rose has played Irving pretty well.

Looking just at stats, Kyrie has never dominated Rose barring maybe games 2 and 5 last year. Of course, this doesn't tell you what percentage of shots were taken while actually being guarded by the other player, but you can probably say that Rose and Irving could be at least a push, if you want to be more conservative towards Rose's abilities.

Bulls did compete, they just didn't win in 2011.
And until last year, arguably, they never had enough to compete with Lebron since then. Injuries suck.

Nikola is better at putting the ball on the floor as well. Love is the better player. But neither of them could single-handedly lead a team to the NBA post season. And that fact is why Love is a bit over rated.

Is Boris Diaw still playing?

Yes. The LeBron Stopper / deserved 2014 Finals MVP is still doing his business
