Lebron James has faced FIVE teams with winning %s of 500 or less in the first round

[Kobes Two Jerseys]

Is there any other "superstar" that has faced that many in a career, in all rounds?

 

[FAH1223]

2013 Bucks
2011 Sixers
2010 Bulls
2007 Wizards

Who's the 5th? Mind you that the 2007 Wizards would have been far above .500 but all 3 of Jamison, Arenas, and Butler went down after all star break after having best record in the conference at the halfway point of the year. Cleveland swept the Wizards with Arenas knee done in by Gerald Wallace and Caron breaking his hand right before the playoffs.

Okay?

Cool story fakkit now go sit on Kobes middle finger and rotate.

 

[Bernie Madoff]

So because his team is always at the top of the conference, your going to hold that against him?

This is retarded...You realize if youre the 1 seed, you play the 8 seed, and in the East the 8 seed hasnt been very good the past few years. What do you want Lebron to do about that? Thats why you win first place in the regular season dummy

Meanwhile Kobe just barely kept his team above .500 and got swept first round

 

[Quail Man]

Worst thread I've seen in a while...made by a Kobe stan, go figure!

did they only give him 4 fingers so he could have an extra ring like Jordan

 

[Swagnificent]

and didn't Kobe face a 50+ win team everytime he was the 1 seed out West?

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

That's usually what happens when you're a top seed

 

[PoPimp84]

LeBron is also undefeated in the playoffs when the waterboy serves Gatorade at 55 degrees (light ice)

 

[Newzz]

at the nikkas saying "this happens alot" "or this usually happens when you the #1 seed"



Not in the Western Conference




LeBron has spent his entire career in that watered down Eastern Conference and has had an easy road to the NBA Finals every time he got there. nikkas like Kobe and Tim Duncan had to, at times, face GREAT teams in order to make it to the Finals.


That's why people used to say the NBA Finals was actually the Western Conference Finals.

and didn't Kobe face a 50+ win team everytime he was the 1 seed out West?

were any of those 50 win teams any good?

 

[Newzz]

were any of those 50 win teams any good?

Really?

Kobe's only played on 2 Lakers teams that faced a 50-win team in the 1st Round as the #1 seed (2008 & 2010)


2008 We played the Nuggets in the 1st Round
2010 We played the Thunder in the 1st Round


Both of those teams were better than ANY team LeBron has faced in the 1st round....period. #1 seed or not.
