The Whole LeBron Took the Easy Way Out Narrative

Keep spitting those false lies on here, but Lebron will still have to prove one day that he can win one without Wade. If he can't do that, then even a stan like you(by your avy) will have to start questioning him.

"Still have to prove?" To who? You?

I don't need to question anything because I've already seen everything. The only thing on the basketball court LeBron doesn't do "very good" to "great" is shoot FT's, where he's still only average.

At the end of the day he will still have to prove that he can win one without Wade just like Kobe did without Shaq. We will really know if he is the King or not when that happens.

Again, let me say this....

Wade averaged 15.9 PPG on 46% shooting in the playoffs last year and was injured throughout most of it which is why he played so sparingly this year.

To give you an example, Jason Terry averaged 17 PPG on 45% shooting, Gasol averaged 18 PPG on 58% shooting and 19 on 52% shooting.

You're acting like Wade was some legit 1st option talent who was dropping numbers slightly lower than Lebron's but it wasn't like that. WADE WAS PERFORMING AT AROUND JASON TERRY'S level. Are you really acting like Lebron wasn't carrying that team by comparing Kobe being the 2nd option to Shaq and Lebron being the clear cut 1st option on his team?

 

[Draje]

Your problem is you pay too much attention to stats. Stats don't show you what you see with the eye test. Wade had defining moments in all those finals that propelled them to win. Wade is a special player that shows up in the most important moments by winning you games that are difficult to win. Many players in the NBA do not have that quality. Lebron knows this, and that is why he chose to play with Wade.

So Wade had "defining moments" in a game or two while Lebron goes around averaging 30 PPG on 50% shooting and 26 on 49% throughout the entirety of the entirety of the playoffs yet it was Wade who propelled them to win?

Jason Terry and Tony Parker stepped up in a game or two but guess what? Everyone knows WHO WAS THE BEST player on that team and who's team it belonged too. It was Dirk and Duncan.

Lebron won with his 2nd option putting up ROLEPLAYER level stats throughout the entire playoffs. JASON TERRY numbers.

Wade performed so badly that the Heat had to create a very specific schedule for him to play throughout the season this year to where he had to do very specific training, could never play in b2b, and missed any game where he wasn't deemed necessary.

And Lebron is already talented and dominant player than Kobe. It's why he has more MVPs, just as many FMVPs, and pretty much stomps him both playoff stats and regular season stats.

Nikkas is really acting like Lebron, Shaq, and Phil Jackson wouldn't 8 peat on the league? Or that Lebron couldn't win with Pau Gasol and Phil Jackson developing him?

Hate all you want but Lebron is one of the most talented and best basketball players to ever play. As a talent, he's in a tier with Shaq and MJ (Possibly Wilt) as dudes who are just an out of this world talent.

You could trade him to any team on the league and they instantly become legit playoff contenders and any team In the playoffs probably becomes a favorite to win the championship. That's how much impact he brings on the game.

sorry but that mav team had only 1 super star dirk, the lakers 09/10 had one superstar Kobe, Pistons team had 0, Spurs team only had duncan and very young and immature parker, Rockets had only the dream. So dont try to play those teams off as stacked teams with 2 superstars and 3 all-star starters

I don't think Chris Bosh ever was a superstar.

Dwyane Wade has been a marginal superstar ever since his knees have become what they are.

But those teams you mentioned had a lot of talent

Kobe and Pau were both all stars. Had a great 6th man in odom. And they had arguably the GOAT coach with Phil Jackson.

Spurs had a prime manu ginobili in 05-07 to go along with Tim Duncan a young Tony parker and another all time great coach in Greg Popovich.

I did say there were a couple exceptions and I was referring to the Pistons and the those Rockets teams.

But the dream did need Jordan to retire though

all this thread proves is that some nikkas have a very inflated perception of the importance of their opinions....

its comical
