No bullshyt. I find this fascinating

He's a top 5 talent all time. Arguably top 3. Has a pretty great squad around him and yet is expected to lose every year in the finals. This year in particular if the Warriors make it. Even if they don't, I'm sure Vegas and the media will label him an underdog against either the Rockets or Spurs

Is this all an elaborate ploy to boost his legacy or what? :patrice:

Bron turns nikkas retarded:snoop:
It's a legit question

OKC, Spurs twice and presumably the Warriors all 3 times. You don't find it odd how a goat candidate is constantly downplayed like this? I never saw MJ play but the way nikkas talk about him I'd assume he was the flat out favorite every year

Kobe for example got hammered by the Celtics in 08 yet was considered the favorite in the rematch despite struggling to beat 8th seeded OKC and the Celtics making easy work of the Magic and Cavs

If that was LeBron he'd be a huge underdog

It's hilarious. They always say he's the greatest yet they always act like he has no chance just to praise him even more.


Warriors starting lineup is made up of 1 top 5 pick. Cavs have two overall number ones and a number 4, but let the media tell it, and the warriors didn't earn anything
:mjlol: At using draft pick positions to determine how good a team is

The mental gymnastics

how many playoff games did all those top 5 picks win before lebron came?

How many mvps and playoff wins do the best 2 players on gsw have?

This guy legit thinks Vegas is going to risk hundreds of millions of dollars gaming the odds just to make Lebron look like an underdog. :skip:


I love the conspiracy theories that rely on organizations and businesses making decisions like fanboys would. :mjlol:

How bout the national media then? The same media that calls him the 'greatest basketball player ever' after every series

Why is the 'greatest basketball player ever' routinely undersold like this? Was MJ not the unanimous favorite no matter the opponent?

Nobody is painting him as anything, the Cavs will be playing a team with 4 all-stars including two top 5-10 players and arguably another top 15 all-around player.

How the fukk aren't they the underdog? :gucci:


nikka acting like they making Bron out to be fukking prime overcome the odds John Cena vs the Big Slow or some shyt only teams they had legit case being favored over were Mavs and Thunder going into finals series.

EDIT- Thunder had just steamrolled through the Mavs,Lakers and Spurs and had homecourt that series why wouldn't OKC be a slight fav?
