Of course people couldn't wait to line up to say Playoff LeBron ain't a thing or isn't all that... I don't know if you can currently say he's the most exciting player because it's been 2 years since we saw Playoff Bron, but without a doubt he's one of the most dominant and iconic athlete from America's Big 3, ever (MLB, NBA, NFL)... Dude has had bigger performances in losses than guys who've had the best games of their careers. Here's to hoping Playoff Bron still exists, because if he does, the rest of the NBA is in trouble...
You really still living off eastern conference accomplishments? Beating up on bad eastern conference teams is not that impressive. Kawhi proved last year that dominating the east isn't that hard.
Loses entirely too much for Playoff Lebron to be a moniker imo. He does step up in comparison to players like harden or westbrook, even Giannis at this point. But nah.
The fact that he’s blocked entire squads from making it to the even a conference finals said a lot. At the end of the day everyone plays each other and making it the finals is a feat in itself. It’s always weird how people fault him for losing in the finals when most don’t make it at all or even Get to see it
Blocking Demar Derozan and Kyle Lowry from making the Finals isn't that impressive. Its amazing that you can't accept the reality that the Eastern Conference has been the JV division of the NBA since 1998 when Jordan retired. You could've put several Western Conference superstars like Kevin Durant or Kawhi in Bron's place all those years and the results would've been the same.
My last two memories of playoff Bron have been of KD looking better than him in the finals..draining the defining shot if the series dead in his face in one, all but running from the matchup with completely unnecessary switches while KD drained the defining shot of that series in the other one Gotta feeling it’s gonna be Kawhi in that spot this year, just hope Lebron shuts him down and dominates the matchup in route to Lakers chip....do it for Bean
Brons time in the East he saw; Championship Detroit team The Boston Big 3 Prime and MVP D Rose Miami Heat was that was competitive Prime PG with a competitive Pacers Toronto which as we see was always a top team that just couldn’t get past Bron Then later on Bucks with Gannis We don’t need to go out our way to knock Bron anymore..... that shyt ended or should’ve ended Jan. 26, 2020
We everyone can talk about the competitiveness in the West all they want.... but in reality, it was always only about the Lakers, Spurs and GS over the last 15 years or so..... the Mavs was an anomaly and no one was else was really a threat like that.
Why hasn't any other great player dominated The East, then? In the last 20 years, the following guys played all or most of their primes in the East: Pierce, Allen, Melo, Iverson, Wade, PG, Mac, Dwight, Butler, Rose... These are all guys who at some point were considered Top 10 active players or right now are debatably Top 50 All-Timers... So why couldn't any of these guys do it if it's that easy? Stop, the Bulls were seen as favorites to win it all in '11, don't minimize and get revisionist on how people viewed Rose and that squad... The Celtics were threats every year until Bron deaded them twice, we're gonna talk about them being "old" but a)if the Celtics won those last two series over Bron we wouldn't say that, and b)Bron is "old" now and none of you guys give him the "old" pass... The Pacers were title contenders, led by Next Big Thing (George) and the best D in The League at the time... Ended the Pistons run, you can call em what you want but they were 2x Finalists and were in the ECF six years in a row, that team is underrated to this day and was every bit a mini-dynasty... These were all squads that had multi-year runs and were champions and/or championship contenders in real time, but no thoughts on that? Hahahaha...
Great players are expected to win championships Coli posters confused why it’s ok for the Keon Clark’s of the world to never make it to the finals but lebron gets criticized for losing in them wow what a difficult concept to wrap your head around
Detroit was hot for 2 years The Boston big 3 that ran him out of Cleveland and was By the time he got to Miami Drose never had a prime “Miami heat that was competitive” “Prime PG” The raptors team that made the finals was completely different from the teams lebron faced what a shyt post. Idiot
