Plus we've seen that man play garbage time to pad his stats. Idgaf how many 40 point games he has in the finals when he's been to the finals so many times and has lost so many. It's like saying Jerry Stackhouse was an elite scorer because he put up big numbers when his team was garbage.
LeBron fans on life support.
Giannis shytted on LeBrons whole legacy. Overcame shytty coaching, inconsistent teammates and led his team to a title. No begging to get guys suspended, no media narratives, just hard work and leadership.
The NBA is in good hands with Giannis as the face of the league.
The idiocy of these posts
So now Lebron scores most of his points in garbage time? Lebron dropped 40 in back-to-back games to bring his team back from a 3-1 deficit, dropped 51 against the best team off all-time without another all-star on his team, dropped 40 in 5 of 6 games against the Warriors in 2015 after Kyrie and Love went down. But nah he's not an elite scorer and Kobe is despite Kobe having plenty of inefficient finals games on higher volume.
Giannis just won a championship with Middleton having a better playoff run then Kyrie had in 2016 and Wade had in 2013-- dude put up 2000-2002 Kobe numbers. He dropped 40 in a pivotal game 5 when Giannis didn't have it. Giannis just won a championship against a team that missed the playoffs last year with the only real addition being a 36 year old PG. Giannis just won a championship after the Nets, Lakers, Clippers, Nuggets, Jazz, and Hawks suffered injuries to key players. I don't say this to discredit Giannis but trust me these details would NOT be lost on folks if Lebron had the same luck.
The irony is that you guys would be shytting on Lebron more than you already do if he had Giannis' career:
2018- as a 22 year old all-star Giannis lost in the first round to a rookie Jayson Tatum
2019- as the MVP he blew a 2-0 lead to the Raptors
2020- after his second MVP he lost in 5 to the 5th seed as the top seed in the East.
2021- he wins a championship after his second round opponent suffers injuries to two starters.
