Why is LeBron routinely painted as an underdog?

[ghostwriterx]

Bron has to fail miserably in the Finals for the media not to have any excuses for him. If it was up to the media the 07,14 and 15 Finals would be wiped off his record clean and not counted against him.

Since when do we count Finals losses against players who have won multiple titles?
Magic was 5-4 in the Finals... I've NEVER heard that "barely over .500 record" used to negatively portray his legacy.

 

[Brief Keef]

The one man who has been "championship or bust" for the last 8 years is routinely painted as an underdog?

Naw nikkas just want the deck stacked against him. They want him playing with shyt teammates so they can ridicule HIM for not getting it done.

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

If you think GSW is gonna win, then you think Bron is the underdog and that they are supposed to win.





After Stephen A said "We can't give him props for how well he's playing NOW and then give him excuses for the Finals (that you know haven't been played yet and we have no idea what circumstances will be involved)." Dude just had a great game, passed Kareem on the playoff scoring list and the first thing out nikkas mouths is shyt like that and he's the underdog?

pretty much n vice versa it depends n who u ask cavs fans n bron stans dont think they're the favs so when they lose i dont wanna hear no excuses me personally i think they are underdogs

The same reason he's been on superteams for like eight years, the entirety of his prime... Yet perpetually always "needs more help"

Exactly

 

[duncanthetall]

The point is the underdogs are the players who weren't appointed the hype and position. The warriors earned their position because no one expected them to. The Cavs SHOULD be champions, not the warriors

Might be the dumbest thing I've ever read on the Coli. Jesus Christ you're dim

 

[NatiboyB]

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

You really are comparing draft position with NBA production breh

 

[Damnshow]

You must be 10 if you don't think Vegas involved or think Tim Donaghey was the only corruptable ref.

oh you wanna go that way

vegas and refs is why rockets and spurs, which are mentioned in op, would not make it to the finals, because they have their cash cow warriors and cavs duel going on

vegas may be one of the reasons why we had two 3-1 comebacks last year

but put it this way, if vegas gave better odds at winning series for rockets and spurs rather than cavs, most of the people would still bet on the cavs as they would still see cavs the favourites. Most of the people who bet money are not THAT stupid who would just blindly bet on anyone who's got better odds

nikkaz acting here surprised why bron is given worse odds at championship than a fukking warriors

I can't read your posts anymore. You suck nikka

 

[MerCrimmuh]

Golden State Warriors, have Four (4) (Fo') Likely Future Hall of Famers, all in their prime. And another past his prime in Oohguduga.

That why.

Fred.

People get so caught up in narratives and don't understand that basketball is a team sport. Bron can be the best player in the league and still be an underdog in a TEAM sport, they aren't mutually exclusive. This isn't a 1 on 1 tournament, there's other guys out there besides him

Lebron ain't even over .500 though. how many multiple time champs/FMVPs have losing records in the Finals? Maybe wilt is all I can think of.

 

[mbewane]

Some brehs like to act like Lebron plays with D-League players

In some thread one even said Miami wasn't a superteam

 

[Cadillac]

Max Kellerman just said it Golden State is supposed to win so if LeBron loses it won't count but if he wins it does

Lebron stan logic

 

[GoddamnyamanProf]

kinda sad you actually believe this shyt you just typed.
to compare an entity that gets results (most wins in a 3 year span of any franchise ever) to lavar ball and donald trump...cause they're a "new" powerhouse is warped trash logic.
narratives are pushed to make money
to bump interest
to create feuds

fukk you think is the point of the Warriors agenda? :jagfan: You wanna talk about results? Trump's the fukkin president of the United States. You get the masses to buy into your agenda, you get results. Thats the point.

What does finals record really tell you though? It gives you a pass for losing before the finals.

Its not like the players who don't play in the finals each year just sat out. They all tried to get there and failed.

which makes your comparison retarded.
people talk about the warriors cause they're a great team, people talk about trump right now...cause he's a dikkhead clueless jackass.
that comparison is trash...so is the lavar comparison.
if the warriors were shyt you wouldnt even be in this thread discussing whatever it is you're trying to say.
is lavar ball a great businessman?
is donald trump a great politician?
i know the warriors are a great team
