Was doing some research on how far back the finals with Duncan, Kobe, Wade, or LeBron go back, stumbled across this article. It's almost a year old, hardly relevant, but it attempts to knock LeBron down a peg and prop up Kobe and Duncan even more, so I'm posting it anyway http://www.sbnation.com/2015/4/22/8467163/lebron-james-nba-finals-eastern-conference-chart
This and the picture, which has been posted around here, showing how many 50+ win teams LBJ, Kobe, Duncan, and other guys have had to go through in the playoffs. Just ridiculous the ease at which it is to get to the Finals. It's comical
That is just hilarious. Even after a day or so goes by since I first saw this it still cracks me up. Props to that lady
That's Judy Love. Owner and founder of Love's Country stores. She's self-made and worth $2.3 Billion. Not very often you see someone worth 3 to 4 times what Lebron is.
Wait... did ESPN finally admit he's not a clutch player? They've been trying for that same decade to say otherwise! They would come with any kind of qualifier they could! Is this real life?
Where would Kobe be in that stat? I swear ESPN used to keep throwing out some stat that Lebron has one of the highest FG% in the final 2 minutes of close games or something similar Hilarious to see how bad he is in the final 5 seconds. So much for being clutch
I can't believe that's an actual ESPN graphic, they never go negative with LeBron. As for Kobe, I'd bet he'd look fantastic with that stat..before he tore his achilles. Or maybe even a little before that. He had that one season where he hit like 5 buzzer beaters or game winners or so, and I feel like since then he can't buy one. But you take out old age and injury, and use his prime and before like we are with LeBron and I'd bet it's not close.
I can't be the only one shocked that Lebron took 47 game winning/tying shots in the last 10 years, can I?
