I think a lot of ya forget that Lebron's clutch stat is heavily PADDED. Go search lebron padding final stats and see it for yourself.
The stat I posted removes the bias. Basically, "Clutch" is 2 minutes left with margin of 3 in playoffs. If you're down by 10 points in the final moments, no one gives a fk if you make 6 points, you still lose the game. Clutch is when game is on the line and you either win or lose, not when the game is already lost.
When was the last time, you see Bron in that situation. Look at this year's final where Lebron passed the ball to Kyle Korver instead of shooting or driving to the basket. Remember when Lebron got saved by Bosh and Ray Allen??? Those are clutch situations and Lebron doesn't show up.
Also remember when Lebron padded his clutch stat during that Golden State game during the finals with few minutes left in the game that was already lost?, a lot of ya forget these stuffs. Kobe is also constantly doubled teamed while everyone knows Lebron can't shoot for sht, and that's why players usually give Lebron free shot knowing he will miss more.
Give Kobe free shot, he'll make almost all of it.
Nba, espn doesn't remove that bias from stat because they favor Lebron, and are promoting Bron and trying to make money. Whenever you see those Lebron clutch stats, just remember that they are padded and bias. When bias and padding is removed, you get the results I posted in first page. It's either ya Bron fans can't comprehend stats and see the bias or ya just pretending cuz ya embarrassed. Probably both
Many of ya also pretending like Bron didn't leave Cleveland and formed a super-team, lost to Mavs
then came back to Cleveland after the Heat started to fade. Also, Lebron is playing in the weak ass eastern conference. Lebron is also 3-8 in the Finals. Kobe never left the Lakers, that also counts more. There are also many players who pick Kobe over Lebron, I guess ya all know more than them.
Hold yourself to some standards a little higher than an argument that would put Derek fisher on the same step of the ladder as Kobe and Sam jones above everyone from 1970 onward.
The east has mostly been doodoo for the last 25 years outside of 1-2 teams at a time. I didn't move any goal posts. Ring counting is the single worst argument in sports since it's a team accomplishment. Going by that argument, bird in 1981 and Kobe in 2000 were better than 2017 LeBron. Using that argument, Shaq had a better 2006 finals than he did in 1995 or 2004. Duncan didn't have a better 2014 finals than he did in 2013. The only difference was the team won. That gets influenced by a roster of 8-10 people who play important minutes and entire coaching staffs who draw game plans up.
