    Funny how he failed to mention that:

    Kyrie/Hayward/Smart out
    Embiid out
    Wall JUST came back from an injury

    Yeah, the east is definitely WHACK because of injuries to key players that would have challenged LeBron

    He got one thing right, the East is wack. Every year there’s a key injury, every year some supposedly good team chokes. LeBron, aside from being one of the greatest, might be the single most fortunate player in the history of the modern NBA. After the Pistons team in ‘07, and the C Bags big 3, he hasn’t faced a single team worth a damn in the East playoffs, and even lost to a Magic team in ‘09 he had no business losing to.

    I get that there are Bron nuthuggers, but why do we continue to let their fanaticism lead to such dismissiveness towards the man.

    When the path to the Finals clears up for Bron, we somehow think it doesn't mean as much cause its easier. Uh, how about this senior citizen finds a way to remain on the court while players that are 5-8 years his junior can't seem to do the same.

    Fans keep saying the Dubs are world beaters and if Dray doesn't get suspended, then they're currently 3peat champs...but no one mentions that the Dubs 1st title came when they were all healthy and faced teams throughout the playoffs that faced injuries (Conley in the semis and Ky & Love in the Finals). Then it took a cap hack for them to land KD and dethrone Bron.

    Meanwhile dude has had to deal with Bosh injury/health concerns while in Miami...And then Love/Ky injuries when he was back in Cleveland. Without Love, he led a 22 year old Ky who never played in the postseason to the Finals in year 1 of his return there.

    The east has weaker talent, but you still got to put in the work and effort to get to the Finals 7 straight times.

    He's done that while his cohorts and peers have not. Why hold that against LeBron? He's put in the work to stay on the court and put his team on his back...He's been the one constant. I appreciate and respect the heck out of that even if he's a douche that applauds his own accomplishments in the 3rd person. Instead y'all should hate his competition for not staying on the court and providing more resistance, but don't hate the man that earns his check and laces up consistently...Quit the hate y'all, Vash don't play dat!

    Umm, it's what fans do to opposing teams' players. Especially ones competing with our beloved for among all time status in the heart of fans when you know he's not on the same level for the things we hold most dear.

    So.....basically.....

    Bron just missed FTs that woulda sent the Philly game to OT.

    #LakersMaterial

    Btw, how they gonna do Lue like that? Down 16 to the Wiz with 6 mins to go in the 4th and cone back to win. Follow that up with coming back from 23 down and almost sending the game to OT in Philly.

    Dagger to his heart ;)

    Yeah, speaking of "off"..It's been almost a week for me. No wonder you're always in a good mood.

    Anyways back to the FO trying to get Bron and ain't a damn thing the haters can do about it.

    seems like anyone can produce any stats to try to prove their point, but LLLLL will miss having a good closer playing with him

    I'm sure he wasn't at all comfortable at the line, but Kobe would be betting brothers $500k and putting them in their place. Two totally different dudes.

    the comments about LLLLL's Defense OMG

    :Kobe Snickering:



    Philly is not afraid of the Cavs, and Ben Simmons is going to be LLLLLebronesque. Both so skilled for their size. I hope the Cavs get the 4 seed.

    You’re in the wrong place, man, Nick Wright’s house is thataway... ;) I’m not hating on LeBron by saying he’s possibly the most fortunate star in NBA history, I’m stating facts. Shaq and Kobe had to go though a gauntlet every playoffs, teams full of hall of famers and all time greats. Then Kobe and Pau had to do similar. The teams LeBron has had to play were so bad I can’t even remember most of them, I believe some even got in as 8th seeds with losing records. Also, I know you already brought it up, but here’s the oh so delicious video. All hail the Kang



    Oh, and you of all people know the worse the Cavs do the better our pick becomes. So this is a win win for haters and defenders alike.
