Playoff LeBron...

[Boonapalist]

He took the heat in 84 and people moved on. Y'all still talking about 2011 and/or acting like he was going to win 2015 with Delavedova as his 2nd best player. And most of the vitriol towards Bron is not about him vs Jordan.

If he played during this era he’d definitely be criticized more. Playing before the social media era allowed older players to face less scrutiny and be mythologized more. Also Magic’s place in history is already set whereas Lebron can still keep advancing so people bring up whatever faults or flaws they believe he had to keep him down.

And the vitriol towards Lebron are the comparisons to Jordan and Kobe and their stans feeling some kinda way, media needing something to talk about, creating so called super teams, and people not caring for his stans.

It's always been more about Kobe than Jordan...

No not since Lebron won in 2016 and more people started feeling he was the GOAT. But if that’s all you took from my post I see where your heads at.

His greatest accomplishment to me is still dragging that horrendous Cavs team to 66 wins in 2006 or 2007.

66 wins!!

That's 6 wins short of the then record 72-10 bulls.

Neither are good enough to be hated.

Zion is more of a championship leading player.

Def disagree on that, Zion won't have anywhere near the impact those two will. But I'll save that for another thread!

Year 17




Keep doing your thugtizzle Bron at this point those mad are blinded by their own shortcomings... I seen the progression, the dedication and perseverance.

We just witnessed one great pass away tragically with his daughter and 7 others. I’m going to appreciate a great while he’s still here and especially while he’s still relevant.

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

You're using Kobe's death as a way so people can't criticize Lebron anymore


That's really low

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

 

[Mike18jj]

In every Lebron thread it's a bunch of nikkas that claim to not hate him or not be fans of his game,but yet at the same time have the most posts in the thread.

 

[Roland Coltrane]

I don't know... maybe had something to do with the fact he quit on the Cavs to go ringchase in his prime with a super team in MIA, then quit on the heat to go ringchase with a new younger super team after that ?

Like the east was already weak as fukk..but the fact he hopped around as an in-prime top 10 all time player swapping teams with multiple in-prime All-NBA/Allstar teammates ain't exactly some insignificant minor detail... LeBron's playing with dwade and Bosh and muhfukkas talking bout the threat of a pacers team led by like a 22 year old Paul George and Roy Hibbert ... then have the nerve to cry when the rabbit has the gun when the KD dubbs was sweeping that ass out the finals

Salute the championships, but this "dominated the east for 8 years" shyt is one of the most overblown moral victory ass lowered expectations thing in sports to me...

This bullshyt got 11 daps

morons still trying to use the East hasn't been shyt like they didn't have the top defensive teams year in and year out while being strong in years like '11, '12, '16, '18. Also I've said this before, it doesn't matter in certain situations you can have a difficult or easier runs regardless due to injuries.

Nope.... I’m honoring what the your GOATS last wish was.

His last message was to put all this shyt aside and embrace.

His last tweet was about Bron and the last NBA player he spoke to was Bron.

Y’all twisted for disrespecting his last request

In what way will he not have as much impact? If you talking silly numbers then I don't care about that. I'm talking deep playoff runs and titles. Zion will finish with more rings than Giannis and Luka combined. His game translates to winning titles. Giannis (currently) and Luka (forever) don't have the game to lead a team to a championship.

 

[Bryan Danielson]

You coulda replaced LeBron with KD and Kawhi and folks woulda said the same shyt cause the competition was weak.

That's our only point. Other superstars could have done what LeBron did in the East. They were just all in the West beating each other up while Bron got to beat up on teams led by Victor Oladipo, Demar Derozan, and a rookie Jayson Tatum.

Again, we can’t do the couldve should’ve would’ves brehs. Cuz it’s never gonna be consistent across the board

Also again, it’s always only been about 3 teams in the West the last 12 years or so. Everyone else were basically Star Trek red shirt status teams.

Finally, Brons teams were on par with what every other East team was and at some times worse, Rookie Tatum team I believe was the number one team in the East

Either way, it’s all good brother let’s all just chill for a bit. We better than all this and let’s just respect the wishes.


There’s a lot of new guys to pick on; Luka, Tatum, Maront, hell yall pick em.


We need a new face to hate on to lead us in the next decade of the coli. If we can’t find that player now, the coli dies

 

[Bryan Danielson]

Zion is off limits........

He finna be the new GOAT surpassing all the niccas y’all argue about but we gonna do right by him from the jump
