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

[Kaypain]

Heat were heavy favorites with HCA

Lebron simply dropped the ball that series and way underperformed

they say he did it on purpose because Wade would have FMVP if that's true then

I'm sorry anyone whos 3-5 in the Finals cant be the GOAT, just cant.

This doesn't even make sense

It makes perfect sense. If you want to argue hes the greatest of all-time and he's far and away the best player in the NBA, he can not continually lose to teams with "inferior" players. If he loses to GS for a 2nd time against "Beta" non rival Steph Curry and "Beta" Durant he's a fraud.

Being betting favorites doesn't mean you are the better team. Dallas went 9 deep by that point of the season. Miami had an 8 man rotation with 2 players starting that were dead weight and their top two bench players were dealing with major injuries. The mavericks were definitely a better team, key word being team. Miami was the underdog without home court against Oklahoma City the next year but they were the better team on account of their superior depth and experience. Dallas was the underdog in the semifinals without home court against Los Angeles and we all saw how that turned out. The better team almost always wins in a best of 7 series. The only real exceptions I can recall in recent years would be last year in the finals and 2015 when Los Angeles upset San Antonio.

How can you rate Kobe so highly when without Shaq or Phil all he was was Gilbert arenas

2009-10 Lakers

The following teams would all dismantle this year's Warriors squad.

You're fukking retarded breh

 

[lutha]

the fact that a man that lost his first 7 finals before finally winning 1 is the official logo for the league, i think bron will be aight no matter what....

also, win or lose, he'd be in my starting 5, right along with mj....

WCSF against defending champ Lakers (who returned everyone): 4-0 sweep.

Lakers had

Kobe at 1st-team All-NBA and 4th in MVP voting
Gasol at 2nd-team All-NBA
Bynum at his peak, would be 2nd-team All-NBA the next year
Odom putting up 14-9-3 and winning 6th Man of the Year in a runaway
plus MWP, Barnes, and Blake all at ages 30-31

Ended in a 122-86 embarrassment where Jason Terry outscored Kobe 32 to 17 on fewer shots.




WCF against next year's WC champs OKC: 4-1

Thunder had:

Durant at 1st-team All-NBA and 5th in MVP voting
Westbrook at 2nd-team All-NBA
Ibaka putting up 10 and 8 with 2.4 blocks/game, 2nd in DPOY voting the next year
Harden as a great 6th man coming off the bench for 12ppg, would be 6th Man of the year the next year
plus Seflosha, Collison, Perkins

Ended in three straight Dallas wins after OKC had tied it up 1-1


Finals against next year's NBA Champs Miami: 4-2

Miami had:

Lebron at 1st-team All-NBA and 2nd in MVP voting
Wade at 2nd-team All-NBA
Bosh an All-star putting up 19 and 8 as the third option

Ended in three straight Dallas wins after Miami went up 2-1



In those three rounds, Dallas took out MOST of the All-NBA 1st and 2nd teams, MOST of the NBA's top-5 MVP vote, and they only lost 3 games along the way. They also beat the defending champs AND both teams that would meet in the next year's Finals. That was a sick run. No one can take shyt away from that team.

I'm sorry anyone whos 3-5 in the Finals cant be the GOAT, just cant.

neither can someone that went 6-0 in the finals...cause there is no GOAT in a team sport....

 

[Cryptocurrency Scarface]

Jordan was 6-0 in the Finals.

Bron's probably about to be 3-5.

Bron has that 2011 stain on his resume, also.

If I'm a historian 25 yrs from now looking back in retrospect, I 'd have to give it to Mike.

If Lebron gets 8 rings he eclipses Jordan for me IDC about losses

I don't know how ya'll keep making these same threads every day disguised with a different title just so you can keep arguing about Kobe and MJ being better than LeBron.

We should just make an official thread where ya'll can argue all you want. That joint would be the biggest thread on the site in like a week.

no they weren't. Miami was barely favored over Dallas.

There is no argument if people would just leave their feelings behind and look at things objectively.

MJ is #1 of all time

LBJ is at worst top 3 with potential to move up

Kobe is top 10 or so.

Fanboyism of a player does not change reality brehs lol.
