Which NBA Player In NBA History Gets the Most Excuses

[SilkkTheShocker]

I feel like there is always an excuse factory waiting for anything involving Kobe or Wilt.

[Fudge]

LeBron on Cleveland.

[kNicKz]

Lebron

[IncarceratedBob]

LeBron. The one time the best team in the league wasnt good enough.

[Fudge]

A tie between LeBrons run in Cleveland or LeBron in '11 Finals. Your choice.

Who makes excuses for LeBron's 2011 finals?

[kNicKz]

Who makes excuses for LeBron's 2011 finals?

*cue Lion essay*

[TheMarkMadsen]

This decade? Lebron easily. Towards the end of game 6 they were already getting the excuses ready even though Lebron had laid an egg in the game up to that point.

Kobe gets crucified even when they win.

[jimmy77x]

CP3, and Lebron

[Fudge]

Who makes excuses for LeBron's 2011 finals?
Who else? Dem stans.

[SilkkTheShocker]

No one really makes excuses for it, but its pretty much considered sacrilegious to bring up any of Hakeem or Shaq's shortcomings. Big men seem to get off the hood pretty easily unless it's David Robinson

[Fresh Kid]

Lebron James is number one in this category, what a coward:roll:

[kurple]

LeBron

[VIntageNOvel]

past: his teammates isnt good enough,

now: his superstar teammates isnt enough

the best one was when pauk created a thread sayin how wade has cost miami 2011 championship by not let lebron doing his thing :lol

I agree Cp3 definitely do:facepalm

When you shit the bed and shoot 6-24 in the biggest game of career...while being carried by your teammates.......people are going to criticize him. When it comes to impact of top 10-12 players all time, Kobe has the least on the game. Dude is just a scoring sideshow without the most stacked frontcourt in the league.

[Fudge]

:oldlol:

Kobe with a stacked front court << LeBron with a stacked team

He won a ring with Bosh scoring 0 points and Wade playing on one leg. Your favorite player has no notable playoff highlights and the same amount of Finals MVP in despite playing several years longer. Ouch :oldlol:

I feel like there is always an excuse factory waiting for anything involving Kobe or Wilt.

Wilt played against the GOAT TEAM OF ALL TIME

NO Team even COMES CLOSE

That BOSTON Celtics TEAM Had over 8 HALL of Famers at the SAME Time.

Itll be like today you have a team of

8 Future Hall of Famers,basically any 8 multiple all stars with one of the best c and pg and sg

Shaq-Kobe ran the League,
Jordans Bulls ran the league

now imagine adding 4-6 more HALL OF Famers and Multiple time all stars on those teams

That was Basically the Boston Celtics

and even then WILTs teams lost in game 7s by 2-4 pts
and WILT Outplayed his competition,his teammates faltered badly

[Fudge]

Think i've read that paragraph from Silkk before. Dude loves to abuse dat copy+paste function.

[SilkkTheShocker]

but i thought lebron make his teammates better? :confusedshrug:
what happens to all star 20-10 franchise player bosh and 2006-2011 FMVP wade? :eek:

Injuries sadly. We all saw what Wade could do during the winning streak. Once his leg went out, he slowed down. And Bosh, what his his excuse? :oldlol: Birdman had more of an impact than Bosh for most of the playoffs. A guy that was unemployed to start the season. And Kobe? He loses in the 1st round unless his frontcourt is the best in the league. Hell, he even missed the playoffs in his prime :eek: Like I said, he is no more than scoring sideshow without a stacked froncourt. The guy was Allen Iverson with a rape accusation :oldlol:

[riseagainst]

LeBron on Cleveland.

this.

[SilkkTheShocker]

I almost feel bad for the Kobe fans that still believe he is the better player. Extreme cases of denial :eek:

[kshutts1]

A lot of the "excuses" are valid, particularly considering the overrating of titles/FMVP on ISH.

Honestly, the point of the game is for the team to win, but one man can do only so much.

[SamuraiSWISH]

LeBron's lack of character gets a lot of excuses due to his exceptional talent. You can't overlook the non physical attributes, though.

[Just2McFly]

Lol at these responses. I'm going to say Durant. People blame Westbrook for everything and never get at Durant

[scm5]

Seems like the thread backfired on OP

[Fudge]

:roll:

Yo guys, what kinda tunes do you listen to when your getting a lap dance at da titty bar? I like listening to Trinidad James and Drake.

[tmacattack33]

Chris Paul.

He's had the title of best PG in the NBA for years, even though he might not have deserved and it's sort of just a carry over from 2008 and 2009.

[JellyBean]

Pat Ewing comes to mind. Also Lebron on those 08-09 & 09-10 Cavs teams.

[Leviathon1121]

Don't know how the answer can be anything other then Kobe. Lebron is getting up there, but honestly, we have had a good 10 years of Kobe stans constantly degrading the accomplishments of players in the top 10. They pick apart their careers with a microscope while making excuses when people react and do the same thing to Bryant.

[Doranku]

n!gga this could be a question on "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?" I could go ask this question at the local retirement home and grandma's would be jumping outta their wheelchairs screaming "LEBRON!" as the answer.

[NBASTATMAN]

KOBE AND LEBRON... :rockon:

Karl Malone and John Stockton, IMO.

Kobe have 5 rings, 1 mvp, 2 fmvp and stayed on one team meanwhile "no heart" Lebron have 2 asterisk rings, 3 out of 4 asterisk mvps, and 2 asterisk fmvps and became a coward when tha tough got going and joined two other superstars aka two east starters to win championships tha easiest way possible.:coleman:

[Doranku]

KOBE AND LEBRON... :rockon:
When you say Kobe, you must be talking about the excuses that his detractors use because fans don't need to make excuses. His resume speaks for itself.

"b-b-b-b-but Shaq!!! 29/7/6 is irrelevant!"
"b-b-b-b-but Phil Jackson!"
"b-b-b-b-but most stacked frontcourt ever with 6/3 Bynum and Odom who isn't even in the league anymore!"
"b-b-b-b-but CP3 deserved that MVP!"
"b-b-b-b-but 6-24! 6-17, 7 foot Pau Gasol who didn't make the trip to Boston deserves FMVP!"

[Fresh Kid]

Karl Malone and John Stockton, IMO.
at least malone was on tha jazz most of his career, and stockton stayed on tha jazz and is tha all time assists leader he gets a pass.

[(e)]

This decade is definitely Lebron.

Thread backfire for sure el oh el. Silk madddd

Im not even a Knicks fan, far from it. But Ewing doesn't deserve nearly the amount of disrespect he does. People always talk about the Knicks 90s defense, but those teams weren't all that. His 2nd best player was undersized SG with streaky shooting. And a bunch of hard playing role players that could play D and rebound but weren't the greatest offensively. He didn't get to play with Houston, Sprewell, etc until he was past his prime, And even past prime Ewing had his moments where he could carry the team.

[SilkkTheShocker]

Lol at these responses. I'm going to say Durant. People blame Westbrook for everything and never get at Durant

Durant started get some blame after the 2012 Finals. Westbrick still takes the brunt of it, but people started calling him out after he contributed nothing on defense, playmaking, or rebounding. The humble attitude also seems to be slipping a way. Not that I care how these athletes portray themselves in the media, real life, etc. But he has moments of being kind of a passive-aggressive dude.

[Deuce Bigalow]

Wilt Chamberlain and its not even close

Yeah, but the same goes for Malone, Stocton, Payton, Ewing and Shaq when the Bulls got past the Pistons. Yeah, Hakeem got two, when MJ went off to play baseball.

Because at the end of the day, nobody really cares that much about CP3 and nobody is putting him close to a top 20 list. Guys like LeBron and Kobe who have actual cases to be regarded as all time greats get little things picked apart because they're in the actual discussion. CP3 isn't in any discussion, so people don't even bother with the details.

Exactly. The legit historical players get the criticism. Dirk, KG, Duncan, Lebron, Shaq, Kobe, Wade, and Durant...those are the guys that will all finish their careers somewhere in the top 20 or so all time.

We just saw this with Parker. You can always tell how good a player really is in the minds of fans when they play awful. If nobody cares much...then said player just isn't actually thought of as a superstar or all time great.

Parker's horrific games 6 and 7 in the finals are a perfect example of this.

It's a little early on Durant. It LOOKS like he's on a path towards being a great player, but who knows? All the others are already all time greats. If Durant retired today or was injured, he's honestly had a forgettable career. He might will continue towards greatness, but there's no guarantees.

Agreed. That is why I said "will"...I'm of course assuming what you say doesn't happen.

But yes. If Durant retired today he would not fit the bill...but he's going to most likely end up on the top 25 or so level at worst in my opinion.

MJ is the greatest basketball player by far ever. There's a large list of GREAT basketball players that went ringless due to Jordan. One of the greatest centers of alltime ONLY got a ring because Jordan retired.

No, it isn't. It's actually one of the most flawed arguments I've read online, not just here on ISH.

Barkley was a part of 25 playoff series. He faced Jordan 3 times. 3 out of 25 times Jordan "stopped" his season short, 1 being in the Finals. So what happened to the other 22 times Barkley didn't face Jordan ? :confusedshrug:

I mean, I get what you're saying.

But be real with yourself, if not for Jordan. there's a very high chance players like Ewing, Malone, Stockton & Barkley would have rings. I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting, but you get the point. It only takes 1 playoff run to get a ring. What if Barkley didn't meet Jordan in the finals that 1 time? He might have a ring...never know.

What about 92-93 when Barkley won the MVP and was on a 62 win Suns team that ultimately fell short due to.... wait for it... Michael Jordan and the Bulls.

The one time he got his closet to a ring was halted by the GOAT. the 3 for 25 thing doesn't fly with me when Barkley's best shot and prime involved Mike.

[magnax1]

I feel like everyone kind of ignores Magic's losses and faults when some are pretty bad. Complete lack of D and losing to inferior teams sometimes, but neither of those are basically ever brought up. I mean, the losing to inferior teams isn't huge, but it seems to happen an awful lot in his career to me.

What about when Barkley's Suns choked in 94 and 95? Dude had his chances.

[magnax1]

Its a pretty big stretch to say they choked in 94 and 95. First off, Barkley wasnt even in his prime anymore those seasons. They lost both series by a hair anyway, so its hardly a choke.

[branslowski]

Players with multiple finals MVPs don't need excuses imo..

CP3 and Rose...Both plays with a solid roster around them.

Thats a stupid way to define choke. If the Bucks blew a 3-1 lead against Miami, its not a choke, they're just a worse team. Being the worse team is not a choke. Playing like shit when you have the upper hand is a choke (Like Lebron in 11) Its even worse that you ignore the fact that he wasnt exactly elite or healthy in 94 or 95 anymore anyway.
If you want to criticize Barkley say he was a big reason they were a shit D.

I was a member of other online forums, notably bodybuilding.com since 2001, and had less than a 100 posts for the longest time...
I just enjoy reading good ball talk, but from time to time i find it insanely hilarious when people take baits from trolls and proceed to get ether...

Being locked up since november 2011 until this may didnt help, either. You can check my bb.com account too, very active till nov 2011 and no posts since then...

Been lurking a lot more lately trying to catch up on 2 full seasons worth of basketball.
Im glad ish exists.
Welcome :cheers:

That account would have been used during games and 6 and 7 finals if it was mine. My Silkk name was banned for the playoffs and I could only read the comments. I would have unleashed a shit storm on the Lebron haters so enormous Jeff would have put ass right back in ISH solitary confinement with ClippersFan

Why did ClippersFan get banned anywho? He's like an urban myth for my 2013 eyes.

When you shit the bed and shoot 6-24 in the biggest game of career...while being carried by your teammates.......people are going to criticize him. When it comes to impact of top 10-12 players all time, Kobe has the least on the game. Dude is just a scoring sideshow without the most stacked frontcourt in the league.

Dumbest post ever.

1. LeBron has had worst shooting games than 6-24....He has even shot 6-24 himself vs the Celtics in the playoffs only to follow that up with a 2-18fg game :oldlol:

2. Kobe's Impact on the game makes his resume: Kobe Top 5 in playoff points, Career points, Playoff steals, All NBA First Teams, All Defensive First Teams, Allstar Games, Most Allstar MVPs, 5 titles and 2 Finals MVPs...His resume makes a case for top 5, let alone top 10-12....

3. Scoring sideshows don't avg 25-5-5....His "show" got us back to back titles. 34-7-5 in one Finals, 28-8-4 in the other.

4. Stacked Frontline? Meaning our FRONTLINE was stacked? Myth:

First title run in playoffs: Bynum 6ppg 3reb, Odom 12ppg (one less than Mo Williams)

Second title Run: Bynum 8ppg, Odom 9ppg, Artest 11ppg 4reb 39%fg. Yup, carried.:rolleyes:

It was Kobe, Gasol as sidekick, and average role players. Whos also done nothing after leaving Kobe's team:oldlol:


I know you was trollin with this post and I know you really don't believe it. But I jumped in and took the bait because I felt like posting facts and owning you. I actually lose for responding to This dumb post...So, you da man silk:cheers:

I wouldn't be surprised if he actually checked himself into a psych ward or rehab facility of sorts after that melt down, dude just fell over the breaking point. He posts on PSD now, and who knows where else because he only has about 10 posts a day on PSD.... We can all be certain there's another 30 a day being distributed elsewhere on the net.

Never cared for him.

[Le Shaqtus]

Chris Paul has got to be on top of the list.

Everyone has such high expectations of him, then when he gets booted in the 1st/2nd round it's never mentioned, ever. If that were LeBron or Kobe everyone would be on those players asses. Chris Paul is the supposedly the 3rd best player in the league and consistently disappoints and has nothing to show for it.

[CavaliersFTW]

Surprised nobody has mentioned Vagasil Spanoullis yet. Euroleauge alone has come up with more excuses for him than all the other players mentioned combined.

[INDI]

Injuries sadly. We all saw what Wade could do during the winning streak. Once his leg went out, he slowed down. And Bosh, what his his excuse? :oldlol: Birdman had more of an impact than Bosh for most of the playoffs. A guy that was unemployed to start the season. And Kobe? He loses in the 1st round unless his frontcourt is the best in the league. Hell, he even missed the playoffs in his prime :eek: Like I said, he is no more than scoring sideshow without a stacked froncourt. The guy was Allen Iverson with a rape accusation :oldlol:

So you really believe that a bynum (young and not dominant), ariza (mediocre player til he teamed with kobe) and Gasol (allstar that never won a playoff game). Was better then kg (allstar great defending legend), paul pierce (allstar celtic legend) and kendrick perkins ( average nba center)????

In your eyes bynum,gasol,ariza > perkins,garnett,pierce ???????????????????????

let me remind you this was 08/09

There are no expectations for a fake Euro star who comes into a superior league and performs like a scrub, thats just a reality check.

[SilkkTheShocker]

Parker and Duncan don't really get excuses. They should seem free of any kind of blame.

[Marlo Stanfield]

Kobe and lebron because they get talked about the most. So they inevitably will have the highest amount of delusional fans who excuse their poor performancea

Lol the credibility of the members on this forum is pretty much none. Lebron is quiet arguably the most scrutinized player of all time.

Id go with duncan(he missed a layup in the finals of game 7, and no blame? Are you kidding me?), kobe(6/24 in game 7 and terrible fg percentage(especially in the clutch) and no blame, just the reward. And a little for cp3

[aboss4real24]

Kobe, Cp3,

[knicksman]

well wilt really is just same as LeBron. Just like Oscar. So I guess OP is now ready to jump ship. Sorry Durant bandwagon is close

[SamuraiSWISH]

Duncan, Shaq, Hakeem, Kobe, and LeBron. The big five of most excuses.
