When it's all said and done... 2-4 in the Finals. Jordan: 6-0 Kareem: 6-4 Magic: 5-4 Kobe: 5-2 Shaq: 4-3 Hakeem: 2-1 Bird: 3-2
To me it's not so much the losses but just the fact that he only has 2 rings, that's not going get him into my top 10.
As the best player in the game, I want to hear from him why he was a coward tonight. The Warriors were clicking tonight, there was a clear moment midway in the 3rd to where he should have forced his will upon the game for the final 18-20 minutes. He didn't. He kept handing out off to players who hadn't made a shot all game. He's scared, afraid, and isn't comfortable in the moment. Never has been and doesn't look like he ever will be. You put Kobe or Mike in that spot, they take at least 30 shots on that span and will either win or leave it all out on the court knowing they did everything they could to win. They have the sense of urgency and know how to win. LeChoke doesn't. Bron can never be on my Mt. Rushmore because of things like that. He's great, a Hall of Fame player. But he's a loser, quitter, and can never sit at the table of the truly all time greats.
http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports....e-took-37-shots-in-a-game-hed-put-up-60-easy/ A couple years ago, LeBron said, "If you give me 37 shots in a game, I’d put up 60. Easy". No LeBron. No, you can't.
I still can't believe he came out of Game 5 and said he was the best player in the world. I have no issue with the actual statement but if you say something like that you need to show up next game and prove it.
LeBron was far too passive tonight at certain stretches of the game. Yes he was probably tired but whatever, everyone at this point was playing 40+ mins the last 3 games. He may have carried a load this postseason but how about the regular season? Warriors had to go through a ridiculous western conference while LeBron coasted all year long. 2-4 in the Finals is 2-4.
I get this weird feeling watching his press conference that he's not really that down or bummed about losing the finals (he's happy with his performance and media drooling over him). He's just acting like he is because everyone expects him to be.
What upset me still is that he really should only have 1 ring. If it wasn't for Ray Allen or the Spurs just grabbing 1 defensive rebound he would only have 1 ring right now. Holy cow.....
2-4 in the finals. and the only reason he even has 2 is because A. he had to team up with wade and bosh, B. Ray Allen, and C. Bosh bailing the heat out multiple times when it mattered. god that cracks me up. and people have the nerve to even compare him to the likes of mj and kobe
His other stats look good though He led BOTH teams in pts/reb/assists, something that has never been done before Close but no cigar (i think a healthy Cavs would won though).
