This is ignoring the team aspect of it. Playing with the two best shooters in the league will open that floor up for you.

Y'all dudes that cape for lebron are probably the type to leave a pickup game of bball early if you're losing so you techinically never lose [emoji]128580[/emoji]
Y'all make me sick
The hell? How do you come to that conclusion?

Yup. We are going to sit here and act like Lebron didnt force the Cavs to trade Wiggins for love, didnt hold out to force the Cavs to give TT, Shump, and JR ridiculous contracts. Lebron has been choosing his team for the last 8 years. If there is anyone to blame for his teammates, it is him.

the SAME teammates that won him a title last season.
As great as Lebron was...Kyrie had to drop his nuts for them to win.
Now they not good enough and that's being justified by their regular season record w/o Lebron
How is a 3 All Star team garbage besides Lebron? The 2007 Cavs-now that team was arguably the worst team to ever make the Finals.

Serious question for Bron fans.
He's been to 8 Finals, how many has he lost because of him and no excuses (Injuries, no help, etc.)?

Lebron by himself is not making the Nets contnders. Stop the nonsense. Y'all want to discredit MJ with what he did without Pippen? Well what exactly has Bron done without TWO other all Stars at his side as far as winning? Not a gaddamn thing.

Jordan in the 1995 playoffs:
31.5 points on .484 shooting
6.5 rebounds
4.5 assists
2.3 steals
1.4 blocks
4.1 turnovers
And they still lost.
Jordan in the 1996 playoffs:
30.7 points on .459 shooting
4.9 rebounds
4.1 assists
1.8 steals
0.3 blocks
2.3 turnovers
Or to make it an even more fair comparison, Jordan in the first two rounds of the 1996 playoffs, since they only played in the first two rounds in 95 when they lost to Magic:
33.8 points on .464 shooting
4.4 rebounds
3.8 assits
1.8 steals
0.3 blocks
1.6 turnovers
Yet they won convincingly this time around. Jordan was at least every bit as good in the 95 playoffs as he was in the 96 ones. They lost because they didn't have Grant/Rodman. It just feels better to say that he was rusty and use it as an excuse.

Serious answer, one: 2011. And he won two where he was the underdog to make up for it (last year and against the Thunder in 2012).

Crazy that Steph is damn near averaging 29/6/6/2 on 50/43/92 in the playoffs this year.

None. It's a team game man
When you're playing teams that are better than you, you can play well and still lose.

Exactly which is why the NBA is able to manipulate so easily because everyone forgets and moves on to the next year
Yeah I'm a lakers fan but I don't have a problem admitting that the rig(or script) is/was in full effect. I wasnt even worried about the draft picks at all. Knew we was getting something good cuz the **** is set up already

So before it happens I'd like to know is this another one of those Finals that "doesn't count" for Lebbywinks when he takes this L?

As far as i'm concerned,
At the end of the day, his teammates aren't garbage, and they are good enough to get him through the east but they absolutely aren't good enough to defeat this warrior team 4 times in 7 games. I don't know what's so hard to comprehend about that. They BARELY got through GSW last year, and that was with some really good fortune at that.

People still blame LeBron for his team losing that year.
Even though the Spurs were just a better team

Well if he is able to take a team full of trash to the finals you would think he could make a team full of allstars competitive in the finals.

Durant should be doing what he's doing.
GS has too many options out there.

This was already being set-up before the series even started. If he wins, he's immortal. If he doesn't, he wasn't supposed to.

Just read these clowns posts
lebron is the poster boy "smart" player. Tweak the conditions/rules so it works in their benefit. Now all of a sudden lebron doesnt have a squad...they're not saying the team isn't playing well. But that LEBRON doesn't have help

One of the two best shooters IS Steph Curry. You said Russ would be doing the same thing Steph is currently doing if Russ replaced him.
He wouldn't. He's not as good as Steph....let alone in the same ballpark of a shooter/bball iq.
