LLLLLeBron 3-5 Finals Record Without SuperTeam

Where did he say that? Video?

 

^Reminds me of Dwight's I'm already a Champion declaration.

He's trying to speak it into reality, but Steph commin for ya spot

 

I have absolutely zero problem with him saying that. He's 100% right.

Can't help but look into those eyes and see the question mark though. Even the best player in the world doesn't win every game. Jerry West has only one ring and he never beat the C Bags. LeBron's path looks to be going the same way so far.

I said it back when the series started: 2-4 in the Finals. That's all you need to know about LeBron. All the stats and records in the world and he's 2-4 in the Finals. All series long I've heard the names Jordan and Magic brought up constantly. That's skipping right over of course Kareem, Russell, Duncan, Kobe, Bird, Hakeem, etc.

You know who's not 2-4 in the Finals? Any of those guys. All-time greats aren't 2-4 in the Finals LeBron. There's a reason people skip over Wilt in most conversations of Greatest of All Time. There's a reason people don't remember much of Elgin Baylor and it's not time, it's hardware.

That's alright we'll see LeBron again in the Finals in a year since the East is garbage. Next year when he loses again, there'll be more media excuses than ever.

 

Actually I think he's been great in almost every game this series. He can't beat a good team by himself that's all. I'm just sick of hearing that he's the greatest ever and that no other player could do what he's doing. Magic could. Jordan could. Kobe could. Kareem and Wilt and Russell and maybe Bird could. Walk through a useless Eastern Conference and then single-handedly win a couple games? Yeah all the All-Time greats could do what he's doing. Maybe not the same way, but they could do what he's doing. Let me tell you, Kobe or Jordan single-covered? They'd average 60 points a game in this series. Tristan Thompson would average 20/10 cleaning up after Kobe.

I just want to hear the damn pundits admit after LeBron is 2-4 in the Finals that he's not the Greatest of All Time. He can be the greatest right now, but he's not the Greatest of All Time.

 

Doc...with Jordan you have to mention the Detroit Bad Boys. Until he went to Miami to team up with Wade and Bosh, James could not get past the same two teams either...and that self proclaimed champion Howard's Orlando Magic team.

 

All that with a bad constant cough too.

 

Just watched Open Court... It was where the panelists picked their own topic for discussion. It was "The ring or the money?" Chris Webber's opinion was along the lines of winning and losing on their own. His statements was he'd rather lose as a man to a better player, holding his head high, instead of being a punk taking the easy way out. Yes he said "punk"... Webber talked how he could have joined Duncan and bandwagon a ring but it wasn't his style. Interspersed in all of this was a clip of James holding trophies with the Heat.

Oooh...listened to this and had to do a Tyson Beckford face like he did in "Zoolander".

Side notes: Webber is "salty" to this day about the series losses with the Lakers and had to see a psychologist...said that the championship window in Sac closed when Christie was traded.

 

That's unfair I think though... True for LeBron he definitely took the easy way out, but for Webber specifically maybe he SHOULD have chased a ring at some point. Instead he's left with nothing and he's barely a footnote now.

 

He had his chance with the Lakers when they were courting him but our past series victories probably played a major role in him spurning us. Pride... After his micro-fracture knee surgery, Webber was never the same again.
