If LeBron Loses to GS: That's 3 Finals Losses in 4 Years

[Houston911]

Lets be real too.

That Spurs team is one of the GOAT's.....the other year without Kyrie/Love ......this Warriors team looks to be all time great

Its not a good look, but this aint like he lost to Dallas 3 of the 4 years either. If that happens.

That Spurs team wasn't no goat level team lmao

The warriors loss don't mean shyt though, I agree there

This is the stupidity of caring about finals losses as opposed to losses in other rounds.

Some of y'all fools would rather more highly regard LeBron if the Cavs lose to the Celtics instead of losing to the Warriors. Pure lunacy

What is this in response to?

Lebron is 32 and in his 14th season."as opposed to other rounds" seems like you're trying to compare him to some other all time great that kept losing in earlier rounds this late in his career while lebron consistently makes it to the finals.

volume shooting, monster offensive performances with team mates mostly standing around in games that led to losses is not what I would call gawd on the court. If you weren't such a cum drinker you would realize that

Spoken just like the crakkka I suspected.

There is a reason almost every NBA player agrees with me.

Kobe >>> your favorite player

 

[Swagnificent]

It's also 4 straight finals, period

Win or lose he's doing his thing

The East is a joke. Switch LeBron and almost any other great player from past eras and they woulda done the same.

When the second best player in the conference is John Wall or your teammate Kyrie Irving, you know the East is a joke.

 

[Swagnificent]

Assuming Kyrie doesn't put them up 3, LeBron still gets to the line and Steph still misses the last attempt...

But yes, being up 4 was enormous.

That shot was a momentum changer. We have no idea what happens after that if Kyrie misses. Maybe with less pressure, Steph hits his next shot and its Golden State that ultimately prevails.

That shot was so critical that we can only speculate as to what would have happened in that final minute.

Lebron has to pass Kobe before he gets to MJ

Lebron has to pass Kobe before he gets to MJ

He passed Kobe a good 4-5 years ago. The only facets of the game Kobe has in his favor is 10-16 foot shots and free throws.

 

[Brozay]

Bron gets passes for '07 Finals (young and had trash around him) & the '15 Finals (Kyrie/Love hurt, he was going all out and was best player on court)

Adding a 3rd Finals L during his time as 'best player on the planet' is not a good look in regards to GOAT talks

Nobody knocks him for not making the Finals every year before he joined Miami, he was awarded the same young player grace period as MJ, so fukk outta here will all the 'is it better if he losses before the Finals'

Not making the Finals with stacked teams, in a weak conference while being in his prime would be inexcusable

bill russell 11 - 1 in finals

6 - 0 in finals

Duncan 5 and 1 with a 2 and 1 record against lebron with the last one being by a record avg of 15 points

At people running with the narrative that a 3-5 record would be a poor finals record.Lebron's teams were underdogs(2017 included) in 7 of his 8 finals appearances.Lebron should realistically have a 1-6 finals record at this point.His finals record is better than expected.

Speaking as an MJ stan, this is not close to being true. A 5th finals loss for LeBron would be devastating for his resume

I'd say twice his team should've been the favorite, that being 2012 and 2013. Every other trip his opponent has had the better team and almost always the better coaching staff with the exception of 2012. Aside from 2012, he's faced pop, Carlyle, and Kerr

you have nearly twice as many negs as posts. Nobody is gonna take you seriously.

 

[havoc]

So you getting selective amnesia now? Forget 2011? Arguably the worst choke job in NBA history.

I've seen worst choke job from other players. Lebron had one bad finals out of the 8 championship appearance. 3 rings is better than 0, ask Charles Barkley.

 

[HabitualChiller]

I'm not gonna put it against him. He's faced way better teams than Jordan in the finals and 3 of his 4 losses weren't on him. They include:

1. Cavs vs. Spurs in 07'
2. Heat vs. Spurs in 2014
3. Cavs vs. Warriors in 2015

Everyone and their mom knew that they were gonna get stomped in 2007. I'll excuse him for that one...

If I remember correctly, the Heat were actually the 2nd oldest team in the league behind The Nets in 2013-2014. They also went into that finals series with D-Wade injured and Bosh being ineffective. nikkas forget that the media was speculating whether Wade could actually return to his former glory the entire season. Bruh, missed like the whole 1st round also...

Warriors vs. Cavs in 2015 was a fluke. Everyone outside of Warriors fans know that....

Mavs series was on him (water is also wet). Mavs were dusting everyone that year so I'll give him a , but I'll also give him a little leeway.
