lebron was the media's punching bag for 4 years when he went to miami. he caught more hate for the decision than kobe caught for his rape case.


and i don't think the 09 cavs vs lakers would be the lakers domination people think. Lebron's teams have always done serious damage to kobe's lakers throughout his career, even if it was just the regular season.
Magic swept us in 09 and we shytted on them in the finals :yawn:

as boston and orlando proved those years you can beat lebron. Kobe with gasol, bynum, odom, fish, and phil beat lebron in 5 or 6
Im just saying, Bron almost always comes out on top when he plays a Kobe led team.

He's 14 - 6 against Kobe throughout his career that is VERY lopsided. :yeshrug:

Bron didn't hold up his end in 09, but the more interesting Finals would've been Lakers vs Heat in 2011... Kobe didn't hold up his end there.

kobe stans are fukking insane, man. acting like the media's been trying to destroy him his whole life. :pachaha: dude caught some heat with the shaq/kobe feud, then there was a shytstorm during the whole rape ordeal. after that, it's basically been all love. hell, after that number change pretty much all the negative shyt associated with him was ancient history.

you guys love him...and i mean, nobody's gonna love him as much as y'all :russ: so i know that skews your perception about this...but come on, take a step back and be honest with yourselves, he's gotten PLENTY of props from the media. y'all should be happy about that instead of trying your hardest to turn him into some kind of martyr.

Lebron never showed up unless it was super front running also dumbfounded how they lost the finals to Dallas I will never get over that the game where wade hit that fadeaway in the finals game 2 and they were up like 15 celebrating with 6 min to go only to lose I cant get that

That first year the heat was just a bunch of front running little boys and they thought it would be easy and they just ran into a group of veteran players like dirk , marion, kidd, terry, who all just needed a chip to validate their career...

At the time it happened I couldn't understand it either...but looking at those games again Dallas just played with a "fukk yall nikkas" attitude that Miami couldn't handle...looking back on those games now it's crazy to me they won 2 games...they got completely outplayed in ever game except game one...

Who hurt you young man? What do you want? You want the moon? Just say the word and I'll throw a lasso around it and pull it down, fakkit

Save this cliched response for the guys in TLR. You're in The Coliseum, my friend. If you can't make a sports-related rebuttal, don't bother replying to me.

lebron was the media's punching bag for 4 years when he went to miami. he caught more hate for the decision than kobe caught for his rape case.

LeBron was only under criticism in the 2011 season, and mainly because he brought it on himself with his many charades that year. He wanted to embrace the villain role, and ultimately cracked because he can't handle being disliked. When the Heat won the title in 2012, the media was back to slurping him and it has been that way ever since. In the midst of their slurping this past season, they flat-out disrespected Steph Curry by giving LeBron more Finals MVP votes than him which should have never happened. I guess their making up for that now.

Bron Bron has never been as hated as Kobe, by the media. Kobe professional and personal life were under attack for a good 2-3 years, and he was the most hated athlete in America. The media begrudgingly respected him in the ensuing years because they had to. His play forced them to. Durant and several other players know about the media's disrespect of Kobe and called it out.

i don't think the 09 cavs vs lakers would be the lakers domination people think. Lebron's teams have always done serious damage to kobe's lakers throughout his career, even if it was just the regular season.

The '09 Lakers would've destroyed The Cavs that year. LeBron struggled mightily in the two matchups that year: He shot 9-25FG for 23 points in the first matchup, and 5-20FG for 16 points in the second.

Cavaliers (88) at Lakers (105), Jan 19, 2009

Lakers (101) at Cavaliers (91), Feb 8, 2009

And this was precisely because the Lakers employed the same defensive strategy that the '07 Spurs and '08 Celtics, and later on the '10 Celtics, '11 Mavs, '13 Spurs, '15 Bulls, and to a lesser extent the '15 Warriors did on Lebron: Zone the floor, keep him out of the paint, and force him to take outside shots. He was intentionally left open from the perimeter, and the Lakers size clearly bothered him the few times he was able to get in the paint. Because Lebron has no jumpshot, he always struggles shooting the ball whenever teams play him that way. I'm honestly shocked more teams haven't caught on to this yet.

I have no reason to think this strategy would've changed if the two teams met in the Finals. LeBron should be happy he failed to make the Finals that year, because he was in for a major embarrassment.

But you're the biggest Kobe stan on here :camby:

Without Kobe there is no you. All you've ever been known for is Kobe trolling going back to sohh. So when he's gone you're gonna become a useless and forgettable poster :manny:
So if I hang around too long and am totally ineffective and an embarrassment to myself, what are you going to say? :troll:

Naw breh they all was vets as well they all were seasoned LeBron had been to the finals already and had multiple playoff births wade already had a chip bosh was the only one who hadn't had playoff runs but they were up 15 with 6 min to go in game 2 and you don't close that game and LeBron scored what 4 points in the 4th quarter the entire series fuk that gotta hold him accountable as the "best" player I can see one night not having it but in the finals after you jumped ship from a team that won 60 games that's an excuse
