Damn…how did a bum of that caliber manage to dogwalk your dynasty Warriors like that
Bron from 2011-2018 had 8 consecutive finals appearances, from 2019-2023.... 1 finals appearance. What changed?
- Thread starter DraymondT
- Start date
he made the finals and WCF in his late 30s when he's injured half the time but you don't think he would in his absolute prime?
Especially if he was playing on some of these Western conference rosters that ya'll say is so superior.But even if what you're saying is true, if he's making the finals less frequently that means he probably has more finals wins than losses so that takes away half the shyt ya'll talk about. Ya'll say 4-2 is better than 4-6, remember?
Number of times LeBron been swept by Least teams: 0 times in 37 series
Number of times LeBron been swept by West teams: 3 times in 13 series, possibly 4 times in 14 series
Number of times LeBron lost in 1st round in the Least: 0 times in 13 playoff runs
Number of times LeBron lost in 1st round in the West: 2 times in 4 playoff runs
Number of times LeBron made the Finals in the Least: 9 times in 13 playoff runs
Number of times LeBron made the Finals in the West: 1 times in 4 playoff runs (@ Disneyworld)
Number of times LeBron missed the playoffs in the Least: 1 time in 14 year his rookie season
Number of times LeBron missed the playoffs in the West: 2 times in 6 years
To educated basketball fans LeBron legacy and career will always be contextualized by playin in the JV conference. A conference where nikkas like Millsap, Horford, Lowry, DeMar, Isaiah, Oladipo, Kemba, Drummond, Monta, Jrue, Rondo etc. were the BEST players on playoff teams, even leading #1 seeds.... Yet none of em was All NBA caliber shyt none of em nikkas could even sniff the All Star team when they was out West in a real conference
Nowhere close to top 10-15 player and add to that LeBron since Miami/2nd Cleveland run even stacked the deck having 2 of the few stars in the conference in his squad beatin up on JV teams without even a legit star (Wade/Bosh then Kyrie/Love).
Dwight was the only true superstar competition in Least and he beat LeBron H2H as a big underdog w/o HCA or his AS guard Jameer. Then DRose too but he only had 1 healthy prime season and LeBron already done made a superteam
Why he aint strollin to the finals no more
nikkas still sayin he All NBA 2nd team easy. 27/8/7 the last 4 seasons since he got back from Disneyworld so what changed

Bron not seeing superstars in his 2nd cleveland stint is what happened
Bron not having the luxury of playing agaisnt trash ball clubs like the stan van pistons happened
Bron not having the luxury of playing teams like the demarre carroll ATL Hawks in the conf finals happened
Bron not having the luxury of playing the Oladipo pacers happened
Bron not having the luxury of playing the Derozan Raptors in the conf finals happened
LeBron's ability to age slowly doesn't change the fact that he was able to play some of the most pathetic teams in during his 2nd cleveland stint. The second he went back to the Cavs, there wasn't a single contender in the east. It's easy to feast on fake contenders for years and then get to the finals and barely break a sweat.
the 2018 Celtics are the the toughest team Bron saw those years, and it was a team that lost 2 of its best players, and was led by a Rookie by end of it all.
Before going back to cleveland, he played with 2 HOFers in their primes while he was also in his prime, while ALL 3 WERE TAKING PAY CUTS so they can get great vets off the bench, which made things extremely easy.
LeBron barely competed from 2011-18, save for the Paul George pacers
But now LeBron is in the west, and outside of the Bubble (which he can't seem to replicate the results of that run for whatever reason) his teams have been a low seed, even though he has arguably the best 2-way player in the league. Why? because he's actually playing in a competitive conference with actual contenders
It's that simple

Facts
Steph misses the playoffs and KD loses in the first round on another super team = "It's sad seeing our legends get old"
40 year old Bron in his 21st season losing to the MVP in his prime/the defending champs = "He's overrated and would have never won in the West"

Critical thinking is a thing of the past nowadays.
It wasn’t Steph fault GS missed the playoffs… You can blame that on Draymond and Steve Kerr’s incompetenceSteph misses the playoffs and KD loses in the first round on another super team = "It's sad seeing our legends get old"

A bit of both for these brehs out here it seems but Bron haters never been the brightest bunchDamn so he made the finals between the ages of 25 and 34 and struggled to make it between 34 and 38?
How many players even won a championship after their 17th season like Bron has? Are ya'll always this retarded or does Lebron rot your brain?
No he wasn’t.. you in here being aCurry was dogshyt the last 40 games of the season
