That 2011 finals LeBron..

[Newzz]

Thankfully you weren't around to see Magic Johnson play like Tragic Johnson first time around facing Boston.

Oh wait!! I saw that bad series by Magic and 30 + years later, it doesn't mean shyt to his legacy.

Tragic Johnson?


He averaged 18.0 ppg, 13.6 apg, 7.7 rebs, 2.0 stls, and .9 blks while shooting 56% FG in his 1st Finals appearance against the Celtics. What was the problem/reason they were calling him "Tragic Johnson"



@SkiHatDaGawd ...is this true breh?

I'm telling you as an old man that the older you get and you realize you may never see a p

I guess its possible, its still very much ingrained in my memory

I dont really hold Finals losses against players, but the manner in which it happened deserved some serious criticism

Dude was getting locked up by Dennis Johnson when put on him during the stretch run of games, particularly late. He DESTROYED DJ the next year

Wade should have 5 rings

and 2 FMVP

Iwith you realizing you may never see a player like Bron again, the things you are whining about now disapate and replaced by appreciation.

to be fair, I already have a high appreciation of Bron and hold him in very high regard

You will appreciate him more the longer he's gone and you see no one replace him. I had to deal with that with McHale and Eric dikkerson fumbling ass.

He still put 18/7/7. It was just such a shock to see him avoid shooting the ball at all.

Again remove that series from his legacy. Or if they didnt even make the finals that year there would be as much shyt talk about him. This is his chance to redeem that. He may have had the WOAT. But he's got a chance to have the GOAT....because thats pretty much needed..


Magic did blow that series. But Magic also played Center and won a championship without Kareem in the closeout game. Its easy to overlook those mistakes when you've already stacked chips.

Just the way it is.

Lebron averaging 18 points a game is WOAT

And we still don't have an explanation

If LeBron were to win it this year averaging 35/9/7 and beating a 67 win team without Love and a healthy Kyrie...

2011 finals is officially forgiven in my book

Lost one he shouldnt have lost, but won one he shouldnt have won.

true.

Wade should have 5 rings

Duncan should have 6

 

[Brozay]

And we still don't have an explanation

thats the thing, I feel like he never spoke on that performance

 

[OG_StankBrefs]

It did.

Its just damn he should at least have 3 right now. If it dont work out this year...oh well...try and get 4 next year.

Not sure how many years he has left in his prime.

A player of his talent should win at least 4 or 5.

Think Bron will retire wit at least 3 if not 4 .

If dis Cavs core stays, he could have a legitimate shot at winnin dat next couple years. Who knows.

 

[AlbertPullhoez]

Duncan should have 6

Duncan should have 8

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

thats the thing, I feel like he never spoke on that performance

He did. Said he played angry, let others get in his head, etc Instead of just playing the game and having fun.

I'd say he had no problem playing angry against the Celtics and Bulls
