Had he stop trying to score yall would say he quit

Lose/lose with you clowns

The amount of whining they do is incredible. Lebron and Durant and Curry just played incredible basketball, one of the best teams ever assembled beat one of the best players in NBA history, and ALL they have left to do is try to hate on a guy who averaged a 34-12-10 on 55% shooting in the Finals.

The amount of hate is unreal. They don't even talk about their own players they like anymore. They don't even talk about basketball plays anymore. They structure their fandom and enjoyment around hating the best player in the game.

Brah gonna break all kinds of records. All time playoff scoring leader. 3x champion, 3x final MVP, multiple MVPS. But he ain't a GOAT. :russ:

Kobe played 20 years and got 1 MVP but he a GOAT I bet huh. :heh:
Different strokes for different folks. My GOATs have killer instinct and don't lose in the finals damn near 30 times and have their opponent win the finals MVP three times. But that is GOAT worthy to you, play on playa :yeshrug:

Anyone who loves the game of basketball respects Lebron. He's easily the greatest player I've ever witnessed and the greatest player of our time. But he took an L flat out. It doesn't mean he didn't play amazing. Doesn't mean that he destroyed his chance to become the greatest when it's all said and done (overall finals record is overrated imo). Doesn't take away his ability and talent. But to give him a pass for this loss because the Warriors are significantly better than the Cavs is crazy. It happens. He took an L and it's always interesting to see how a great player will respond after a heartbreaking loss. Now it's on him to pull a rabbit out of his hat and put together a squad that can at least keep it competitive against the Warriors. It was clear from the beginning that a washed up Deron Williams, Kyle Korver, along with TT being ineffective, Love disappearing as usual and Iman not being able to hit the rim was not fukking with the Warriors flat out. Cleveland barely won last year. Once Golden State added KD, it was over at that point.

But it's cool to average 15 ppg, 4 and 4 during the finals?

those are guys Bron wanted though. His style of play requires shooters, 3 and D cats, and rebounders. He's not going to change his game to play in an offense that reduces a lot of his ball dominance (see Blatt getting the :camby: ), so you gotta build your team around his strengths. :yeshrug:

He wanted Tristan to get paid
He got Shump paid
He wanted Love (I think it was a good idea since Bron would have turned Wiggins into a 3 and D player)
He wanted more shooters (they got :flabbynsick: Deron and Korver)

And because he "paved the way" for this superteam shyt....he only has to look at himself in the mirror. This is the mess he made. :yeshrug:



You can't get mad at other cats

Impressive stat padding towards the end of the game.

You saw that shyt too. He was deferring to kyrie until like the 3 min mark then started bulldozing his way to pad them stats. You not slick Le3-5 we seen you :umad:
I love Lebron but i saw him doing that too.

The Warriors were offering no resistance because they had it won. He got 8 or 10 points just going to the rim and the Warriors allowing it.

Refs swallowed their whistle that last 2/3 minutes. Bron was forearm shivering his way to the rim blatantly stat paddin though :laff:

this is speculative. you dont need superteams to beat bron, cue the 2014 spurs, 11 mavs, 15 warriors. just stop

That Mavs L still makes no sense to me.

Other than that you can make a legit argument that the teams Bron has faced in the Finals were all better than the teams he was on.

And I do believe that his FINALS competition was harder than Jordan's.
