He's trying to fill the void Skip left. Steven A was always defending him when Skip was around.




:mjlol: Yeah they love him so much they are still talking using Draymond's suspension as a plea (like it wasn't Draymond's fault) and they are putting more pressure on him to win (again) then they are on KD and the rest of 3-1 choke crew bu...bu...but he get's a pass. I'm guessing you think 2010/2011 was a period of fairness and integrity from the media right?
Like I've mentioned in other threads, Lebron is the only person who gets no blame when they lose games. I have seen writers seriously say Lebron has lost games on purpose to teach guys a lesson. I've seen them say he was "throwing a blind pass" and it was kyrie's fault he wasn't there when it sailed into the stands. A blind pass :mjlol:

He yells at his teammates and blames them for everything but yet he's called a great leader. When he gets the doors blown off and loses in the Finals, it's "he needs more help" or "he should still win MVP."

Lebron gets flack about the Draymond suspension because he went and told on him to the NBA. That's a fact.

Skip Bayless really makes Lebron fans think people are out to get him when it's the exact opposite. The fact you have to go back 7 years to find actual criticism of Lebron says enough.

So did you miss the last game? Like you really sat here and typed that with a straight face within 2 days of that? :wtf:

He went and told something that was aired on live TV? :mjlol: You can't make stuff like this up, people actually think this makes sense :dead:.

Just as I thought, in you mind the most outrageous overreaction we have ever seen is just "actual criticism". Okay breh I see what it is.

He played like garbage. If Steph Curry or Durant had 11 points and 6 turnovers and blew a 20 point lead they would've all gotten it. And it would've been way worse than what Lebron got. There were plenty of media people who said "it's just one game" etc etc. don't mistake the loudest voices for the actual consensus

Lebron gets a pass from everyone in the media except Skip Bayless. They love him so much they wanted to give him MVP for losing in the finals
He was averaging close to 37 with 12 boards and 9 assists before losing game 6.
The argument was sort of legitimate :patrice:....but it was contingent on him forcing a game 7 though. :manny:

Any of my fellow Cavs fans got a problem with what I said, we can scrap right now. Yeah, we Cavs fans, but so what?:birdman:

:mjlol: What would Bron get if he blew a 3-1 (while playing like shyt in the 4th) then jumped to the squad that he lost to? Or what if he blew a 3-1 lead in the Finals (while playing like shyt in game 7 at home)? :jbhmm: Would folks be talking about pressure on the other team then?

It was just one game, that we know won't impact the grand scheme of things, but it didnt' stop the overreactions/conspiracy theories/armchair psychology. You can say a lot of things about the media but there is zero basis (outside of supreme dislike or only listening to Nick Wright) to act like Bron of all people gets a pass.

They would say he was tired from carrying the team all year and he needs more help, just like they do every other year.

Dave McMenamin, Brian Windhorst, Shannon Sharpe, Max Kellerman, Nick Wright, Chris Broussard are all Lebron stans who have daily platforms. I can pull up multiple articles of them saying Lebron was in "chill mode", losing to teach guys a lesson, Lebron is the second or best player of all time, Lebron is tired, lebron's coach is terrible, lebron's teammates are terrible etc.

The only constant critique comes from Skip Bayless who people don't even take serious.

Can't believe I agree with Stephen A on this one. Lebron wants to be the underdog so he gets more love when they beat gs and not as much criticism if they lose. If they beat GS it'll be oh wow Lebron is the greatest. We see you bron. Just play ball Breh.

:Khaled voice: They don't want Bron to have any help :mjlol:

It sucks to be able to fly under the radar with no pressure and never have to answer for shortcomings and then get sucked off to no end when you go off? :usure:
I feel you.

But at the same time we should be able talk about Kyries great game without relating it to "what's wrong with Bron, he only had 34 points and looked wierd when he was in foul trouble in the first half"

Shyt is just silly to me.

That's what happened in 2010, 2011, 2014? Really? If you can sit here with a straight face and suggest Bron could blow a 3-1 lead and go to that team beat him and the pressure would somehow be on the best player on the other team (not even gonna get into the ring disparity) then I don't know what to tell you :manny: I have never seen any of those guys hesitate to criticize Bron or call him on his shyt (outside of Nick and Shannon). So basically they are all stans because they don't constantly manufacture ways to shyt on him? :mjlol: Say "you can't mistake the loudest voices for a consensus" and then act like Nick Wright and Shannon Sharpe aka nowhere near the biggest voices to begin with are the entire media brehs.

People complain about Bron stans and then turn around and find a way to make everything about Bron. Main ones saying "get off his dikk", can't let it go :mjlol:. But Kyrie, nor any other star is a victim here as a matter of fact they all benefit.

"He seemed to be in chill mode..."

Didn't LeBron already prove who was the superior team that late regular season game in Boston? Then they dropped 4 straight and nikkas who lack understanding said bu bu but they lost 4 straight. Chess, my nikkas. Bron was setting up the bracket.

Now that same Boston team, who they just beat by a record margin mind you, is a threat and somehow figured out how to stop Bron? Yeah you stop him by him being merciful and only taking 13 shots.

LeBron can't beat GS by himself. He tried and it didn't work and now they have KD. So he needs his guys clicking. He's using Boston for practice. He's sitting back and letting other guys get into a rhythm. How is this not obvious? You saw Kyrie struggling all playoffs. nikkas even made threads about it. Now Kyrie is feeling good thanks to LeBron.

I'm sorry but anyone who doesn't understand this I can't respect their intelligence because this is basic shyt. :yeshrug:

Stephen A actually has a point about LeBron probably deliberately or even worse instinctively playing badly so he's going into the Finals as an underdog. The pressure is suddenly off to a certain extent since Cleveland lost in Game 3 & struggled for 2 quarters in Game 4.

Golden State are now overwhelming favorites to win it but it would've been seen as a 50-50 series if they both swept their way to the Finals.
That's he gayest shyt I've ever heard

This the most idiotic shyt I've ever heard
Y'all nikkas turn this nikka in to batman every time a flaw occurs
"Nah he meant to stink for game 3 and the first three quarters of game 4"
"Nah he purposely got in foul trouble it's a strategy "
"Nah they not playing defense at all this entire season...they gone become he best defensive team of the past 20 years tho they just gotta flip a switch. Kyle Krover Channing frye kyrie Irving Kevin love deron Williams all finna lock down everybody cause they can flip a switch"
