Why is LeBron routinely painted as an underdog?

2010????

When Rondo had come up and Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, and Kevin Garnett were all still balling?

Meanwhile, Lebron's top three were Mo Williams, Old Shaq, and Sasha Pavlovic.
True. It's just memorable because he seemed to check out the last game or so of that series

Every Finals LeBron is the "underdog" eventhough his squad is full of allstars, just hammered through the Eastern Conference for another year in a row and had one of the best records in the league. In the next thread, they'll argue the Eastern Conference isn't weak eventhough they just spent the previous thread arguing how bad his chances are against WC teams. Those guys aren't too bright.

It's just Lebron dikkriders hedging their bets. A built-in excuse if he loses (he was an underdog! they weren't supposed to even be there! LeBron has no help! Look at how many players GSW has!) and ready made praise should he win (LeBron's better than Jordan. LeBron's the GOAT. This just cemented his legacy!).

Bron stans are insufferable. They're that kid you played basketball with growing up who was already copping pleas in the game in case he loses because he has the lowest amount of points. Pretends he doesn't care about the game only to be obnoxious to everybody on the court once he starts winning. That's Lebron's fanclub :hhh:

Off the court in the game of life Lebron was def an underdog growing up. On court now, not so much. He has the most complete team around him, literally built exactly for his style of play. LBJ drives, defense collapses bc he it's so hard to stop him and he kicks to an open shooter at the three

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:mindblown:

It's corny. It's their way of hedging LeBron's legacy. Gets all of the praise, none of the blame. If he loses, it's because he doesn't have enough help and wasn't supposed to win anyway and if he wins, he's the greatest player alive for beating them. I don't know how people can even stand to talk to these dudes.

Lebron > Durant
Kyrie == Steph
Draymond == Tristan
Love < Klay

Lebron is the best player in the league. Durant is the second or third best player in the league.

Tristan and Draymond are evenly matched imo based on last years finals.

Steph is the third best player in the league but, Kyrie has exposed him multiple times.

Klay is more talented than Love imo.

The teams are evenly matched. Cleveland has more than enough fire power to beat Golden State. Yall fakkits just don't want any sort of competition whatsoever. Kyrie and Steph gonna go at it, Durant and Bron gonna go at it, Draymond and Tristan gonna go at it, Love can contribute in the paint and Klay can contribute from the perimeter and both teams benches can go at it too. That shyt looks even as hell to me. You fukking whiny ass muthafukkers :hhh:

take Lebron off these "superteams" that he has been on and substitute it with just league average production at the small forward position.. how many of them make conference finals, finals or win a chip?

I'll wait

Taking the best player in the league off his team will make the team worse :ohhh:

Because hes tooooooo nice .... Theres nothing Mean about him.. The dude apologized to his wife for his career if im not mistaken:scust:
He aint an assassin :mjgrin:
Or like kobe.. Or bird .. :troll:jason terry got under his skin (i forget if it was the playoffs or finals) when allegedly a teammate was popping his moms. His personality has alot to do with it and how is on the court but is still pound for pound the best player on a talent level..

Not surprised to see our resident crack baby is at it again.

:skip:

You really wanna play that game? After that Xmas game (you know when the Cavs beat GS), there were several threads saying the Warriors couldn't fukk with the Cavs, that Durant was a beta that couldn't beat LeBron and Curry wasn't shyt.

This loser is assigning equal weight/importance to Vegas oddsmaker lines and "several threads" on thecoli.com :dead::dead::dead::dead:

The point is some of y'all act like a team where the third option had multiple seasons averaging Barkley type numbers is playing the Warriors on some USA vs USSR 1980 hockey :dead:

Bron has played with SIGNIFICANTLY more talent throughout his career than :mjgrin:

That is a fact.
Pippen > Love and Kyrie combined:what:
