Not to mention the 2008 nba finals getting blown out by 40 and shooting 7-22 in the closeout game.
Not to mention blowing a 24 point lead in game 4

But Brons 2011 Dallas series is still by far worse, he’s also gotten a strange pass for his 2007 Finals. The team defense was excellent in ‘07. They held the Spurs to 85 points or less 3 times in 4 games.

He’s got the media juice too now. He’s also leading the US to a gold medal with no other top-5 player in the NBA on the U.S. squad
What media juice?
Olympics is a great feather in his cap, but That doesn't make him king

Pick 2 random bums and leave out Gary Payton, Karl Malone, John Stockton, Magic Johnson, Charles Barkley, Kevin Johnson etc, those are just the teams in the Finals
I didn't pick "2 random bums", I named three STARTERS from the 1998 Jazz. And I didn't leave out John Stockton dumbass, I pointed out that he was completely washed at 36yo averaging just 10ppg and still their 2nd-best player.

The fact that you called almost half the Jazz starting lineup "2 random bums" says a lot bout how good that team was. :mjlol:


And you had to combine 4 different teams to get that many stars, Bron could list that many from just 2 of his opponents. :francis:

Not every starter is a star genius. And you dodged my other questions, go ahead and tackle them with your next post.

It's about 2 stars a team, not to mention the Eastern Conference. Are you aware of the players in the Eastern Conference that played during the Jordan era?

You picked 1 series, instead of all of them?

Again, Eastern Conference was a much tougher path for Jordan compared to Lebron. Everybody knows the Eastern Conference has been weak during Lebron's years playing there. It was a cake walk for him, it's probably why when he faced actual competition in the Finals he's 4-6. I think the tougher Eastern Conference during the Jordan years helped prepare them for the Finals, 6-0.
Lebron went 4-6 because
- in 2007, he made the finals at 22 with a trash roster while Jordan was getting swept in the first round at the same age
- in 2014, Wade, Lebron's second option, averaged the same amount of points as the Spurs 4th option on worse efficiency.
- in 2015, he lost two starters in the finals and faced a 67 win team with Mozgov and Dellavdova starting
- in 2018, he made it to the finals with Jeff Green as his second best teammate and faced the KD Warriors.

Jordan would have lost in every one of these scenarios.. He likely doesn't even make the finals in 2007, 2015, and 2018.

haha, Jordan didn't go straight to the NBA after high school, so the same age deal is mute.

4-6 vs. 6-0

Wait, so it's an unbeatable superteam cause his #2 averaged 20ppg and they also had Mario Chalmers? :laff:

Complete lie that Bosh was stuck in the corner on those squads. Only 4% of Bosh's FGA that season were corner threes, he ended up shooting about as many corner threes as Bron did. How would he even be able to be in the corner when Ray Allen was in the corner on one side and Battier or Miller were stationed on the other side more often than not? Even Chalmers shot twice as many corner threes as Bosh.

More proof that you go with narratives more than actually watching the game.




Bosh woulda dropped 19-20 as the 2nd option with Bron too, but he was the 3rd option, not 2nd. :gucci:


Pau fell all the way to 13ppg when he had to be Kobe's 3rd option.

Artest went from 17ppg to just 11ppg when he had to be Kobe's 3rd option.

Glen Rice only averaged 16ppg as the 3rd option and that was before Kobe was even dominating the ball like that.


Pau fell to 13ppg cuz Dwight was bytching you dumbass it’s well known Kobe’s plan was for Pau to be #2 and Dwight #3 and we should’ve had Melo instead of Dwight anyway but unlike Bron he didn’t get to run the front office

Lebron most likely doesn't see that many Finals playing the Eastern Conference teams during the Jordan era. What I said earlier, when faced with real competition 4-6. The Eastern Conference was easy for Lebron, it was a weak conference. Any Bron stans actually disagree with that?
