Please take a moment to admire the great LeBron for the special talent he is. It never gets old looking at the King's history. So many accomplishments Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan will never achieve:

1.Only player in NBA history to quit because of Air Conditioner.
2.Quit on his team the year after he promises a championship.
3.Dunked on by a high school kid then confiscates the tape.
4.Bail on the dunk contest 9 times.
5.Only able to win a ring with 2 superstars.
6.Play on same team as his moms boyfriend.
7.Average 1.8 pts in the 4th quarter of NBA finals.
8.Lose not 1, not 2, but 3 times in the Finals.

Tracy didn't underperom either.

But I guess since he didn't win "you can't win a chip with x as your best player"

I just wanted to read more ignorance from the trolls

 

[Quincy McCall]

Won't believe that Bron would have the grapes to say something like that till I see it, if he really did then something is really not right with him right now. Regardless I hope he kills the notion of returning to MIA, don't care for it whatsoever

 

[Chester McFloppy]

Since joining the Clips, hasn't Mr. Paul turned the ball over more in the playoffs than the regular season, had fewer assists, and shot the ball at worse percentages?

Hasn't he also had more games with a negative +/- rating (17) than positive (13)?

With the added help, shouldn't his game have elevated instead of deteriorated when the postseason rolled around?

theres a difference between underpreforming and not being good enough

for example barkley didnt underperform in the finals, he just wasnt good enough to outplay mj

The air conditioner and playing with his mom's boyfriend tho

There are some very creative trolls out there

 

[sea manup]

you forgot the time laban hid ketchup packets in his jersey to fake a nose bleed 

 

[chao7]

To do work son's point:

The last time player A and B both made the playoffs, here were their stat lines in the postseason....

Player A: 17.3 ppg, 11.9 ast, 3.8 TO, 6.7 rebs, 2.4 stls, 47% fg

Player B: 17.6 ppg, 7.9 ast, 3.9 TO, 5.1 rebs, 2.7 stls, 43% fg

Neither one of them got to the finals. As much as I love him, Player A is in no way superior at his position to Player B.

Oooh I have some of them there advanced stats, too!

Chris Paul's Win Shares (these are very important) the last three playoff runs with the Clips: 0.9, 1.2, 1.9

Tony "Scrub Stats" Parker had Win Shares of: 1.4, 2.4, and 1.1.

That seems bad!

yeah win shares is a couting stat and the other played more games so more win shares.

Chris Pauls playoff per is basically the same as his career regular season 25 to 25.6 which is impressive considering in the playoffs you see better defenses.
