LeBron didn't play for stats tonight....he played to win

[MJ Truth]

Have you ever played basketball before? People want to touch the ball to feel apart of the game. That's why teams with lots of ball movement win the most. Great coaches like Phil Jackson say things like "the ball has energy" for a reason. The more players touch the ball, the harder they'll play on defense. The Cavs main problem all year has been DEFENSE not offense. And the best way to motivate players to play better defense is for them to touch the ball on offense. When the Cavs play like they did in game 2 where its all LeBron all the time on offense, they become horrible defensively. With LeBron leading the way. However, when they share the ball like they did last night, and their leader actually plays some defense, they collectively play better defense too.

Stop thinking sports can be reduced to math equations. Basketball is more like art or chemistry. Guys need to feel good to play good. And the best way to feel good as a basketball player is to see the ball on offense. LeBron dominating the ball and kicking it out to guys to spot up and shoot doesn't do that. However, LeBron playing more off the ball and allowing others to touch the ball and run the offense helps the team play better overall and ultimately win.

This is why great coaches don't run the type of offense the Cavs run with LeBron even when they have equally great players. See the Bulls and Lakers with Phil Jackson. Kobe and Jordan never played the way LeBron does because Phil Jackson was smart enough to know that isn't how you win championships. You need an offense where everyone touches the ball to win. Not an offense where one guy is pounding the ball every play for 20 seconds.

Bron has multiple titles too though.

Draymond is a bad example ..he gives that team much more than just 11 points.

But is it worthy enough to be an Allstar in the STACKED WEST with guys that can do the same an average 27-31ppgs?

You’re lying tho. Love and hill weren’t running the offense last night. Lebron ran the offense and dominated the ball as he always does. You have no point here.

He didn't the ball nearly as much as he did in game 2.

My point wasn't that those guys should get more than LeBron. Just that they need some. You can't have the ball in LeBron's hands nearly EVERY possession.

he ddnt win anyMVP final during the first 3peat
everything u said is irrelevant
shaq was the best player

That's cause the east was mad weak back then lil kid. Even moreso than now if you can believe it.

Everyone back then knew the real NBA Finals was the Western conference finals.

Shaq got those finals MVPs cause no one in the East could matchup with him.

Please point me to the games where you shyt on Kobe for freezing his teammates out and not letting the player listed as PG handle the ball more. Just want to see that you are being consistent here

I never did that cause I never cared whether the Lakers won or lost. I watched the Lakers cause Kobe was entertaining. I wish he shot on every possession. Cause I care to be entertained by an artist like Kobe. I don't care about who wins or losses these games.

LeBron is not entertaining to watch like Kobe hence why you won't see me cheering on his ball hog/stat padding ways.

This is actually one of your rare threads where you have a decent analysis op. Most of what you said was factual.

Bron has multiple titles too though.

He had overwhelming talent on his side from 2010-2014 and still managed to go only 2-2 in the finals.

His playing style has been a detriment to winning his entire career.

heat did not have overwhelming talent, this warriors team does however.

Yes lebron only wants to play and win his way, with him making all the decisions offensively. Lebron can't play in a regular offense because his numbers would be lower. Players have to change their game to play with bron. especially bigs

The ball was in lebron’s hands nearly every possession last night. Any difference in lebron’s control of the ball between games 2 and 3 was marginal. The difference was that Lebron wasn’t as careless with the ball, the role players made shots, and they all played much much better defensively.

You’re just trying to force your bullshyt antiLwbron agenda because fakkit ass kobe fanboy. Nothing more or less.

If you think LeBron dominated the ball as much in game 3 as he did in game 2 then you're watching a different game than the rest of us.

Even other Bron stans aren't saying this. They were saying that because the role players played better in game 3, they got the ball more.

Then tell them to be productive with the ball when they have it so they get it more

Every other great player in NBA history has had to share the ball with inferior players. That's why this is a team sport. Stop acting like LeBron is the first guy to have to let teammates less effective than him touch the ball so that they play better overall defense.

Every great player has had to make this sacrifice.
