    I much help does a Superstar need? I
    LeBron is trending and I see quite a few excuses. How come people support LeBron team hopping and joining other superstars, and not saying it'll ruin his legacy. Kobe had to hear "Can't win without Shaq" for years and still had to hear "Needed some type of big man to win" after he won with Pau Gasol.

    LeBron has solid role players on his team, imagine what Steve Kerr and Luke could've did with J.R., Kyrie, Kevin and Iman Shumpert? Heck even James Jones who won two titles with the super squad Miami.

    They did so much to try to make LeBron the heir to Jordan over Kobe, it's killing them to criticize his game.

    Cleveland breezed through the East and the Warriors had a struggle in the West. Suffice to say, West >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> East.

    Warriors best player really hasn't done anything in these 2 games and Cleveland is still outmatched.

    Kobe: 5-2
    Bron: 2-5

    This speaks volumes on the competition Kobe faced vs what Lebron has faced coming out of the West.

    It's the number of teams with at least 50 wins in the regular season that each had to beat in the playoffs. (Ex: 50-32)

    Not the number of wins, the number of TEAMS. That's actually pretty impressive. He tops the all time list.

    Kobe has played far superior competition in the playoffs to get to his 7 NBA finals, and yet he is 5-2 vs soon to be 2-5 for LeBron. It's a stat that isn't well known, but does speak to the strength of the Eastern conference in comparison to the West.

    What's lebron finals record if Miami and Cleveland were both always west teams? Id say 1-0 with the only time he even made the finals was the Miami team that beat the spurs that year. All the other years he probably would be bounced in the second round.

    Yes, it's poor. When he's faced quality competition like the 2008/2010 C Bags, and the 2009 Magic, all 50+ win teams, he lost. That's when he bolted for Miami. The only quality team I remember him beating before he went to Miami were the 2007 Pistons. The East freakin sucks, that stat sirron posted shows that.

    Thank you so much for the explanation. Wow that's amazing! Kobe was on another level, just a rare player to have in any era.

    No comments because this one was the laugher I expected it to be.

    LeBron already showing signs of giving up on this series as Kyrie fumbles balls out of bounds and Love comes up with excuses not to play. The Cavs stink and the Warriors know they've got an overwhelming talent advantage.

    The Cavs will play frantically enough to sneak one out at home and then the Warriors will wrap this up back in Oakland.

    Yep, my thoughts too. Cavaliers win Game 3, Warriors outlast them in Game 4 and confetti will rain down at Oracle in Game 5. Stick it up your [bleep], Dan Gilbert.
