Lebron inconsistant plaffoff and finals performances mean he will never be a GOATtier

[Yankstar]

It is all in the title. After seeing Lebron the widely lauded best player in the world self destruct in 3 of the 7 games of the finals against Timmy and the Spurs last year and the subsequent miracle involving Ray Allen in game 6 I have come to the conclusion Lebron will never challenge Kobe, let alone Jordon if he can't bring it consistently. People talk about the Celtics series game 6, and game 7 of the finals last year as proof of his greatness, but really the occasional great game doesn't make up for all the games he should of won had he showed up.

Kobe's finals stats are literally worse than LeBron's.

Kobe's finals stats are literally worse than LeBron's.
Kobe choked in a game 7... 6-24 in the finals. Kobe's inconsistency ruins his legacy, but he's still top 20.

[J Shuttlesworth]

BTW, OP, what is a plaffoff?

[The-Legend-24]

Only goats average 27 during the season, and 17 in the finals. :roll:

[Magic 32]

I was shocked how much his game dropped after the bucks series last year.

And this was his peak! :facepalm

[JebronLames]

Lol abandon thread!!!

[Jameerthefear]

He's better than Kobe. Sorry!

[JohnFreeman]

Of course Magic 32 and Legend 24 would be in here..LeBron on their mind fakkits :roll:

[DonDadda59]

Yeah those plaffoff performances will really hold him back on the all time lists.

[ArbitraryWater]

Only goats average 27 during the season, and 17 in the finals. :roll:


LeBron in his 4th year/22 y/o in finals: 22 ppg (+vs mavs 18 ppg)
Kobe in his 4th year/22 y/o in finals: 16 ppg

[Mr. Jabbar]

i dont need a particular stat or accolade to know lebron is a tier below the leagues all time greats, ive seen him come short and disappear way too many times, no1 denies his talent, but talent alone doesn't get you in that top tier, you need that champion heart

[Mure]

Kobe is about 10 spots away from Goat tier himself.

[Magic 32]

Making fun of jerks is very pleasurable.

Lebron is all-world in that category.

[fpliii]

Not a LeBron fan, but c'mon. :facepalm

You guys go out of your way to discredit the dude, doesn't this come off as ridiculous if you take a step back?

[russwest0]

Holy shit. I knew he did that but it still made me cringe just reading it again like that.

Bron is beta as hell :lol :lol :lol

There will be plenty of more 2012/2013 level finals from Lebron. You won't be happy.

2007 is an accomplishment. That team should have never been near the finals. They were awful. 2011 was their first year together. Most teams don't make the finals their first year.

Lebron has never lost in the first round before. Jordan has lost 3 times in the first round before.

Making the finals> not making the finals

[Marlo_Stanfield]

cant believe people still think lebron wont finish as the GOAT:roll: :roll: :roll:

[Prometheus]

:facepalm at the very common notion that LeBron choked for the first half of the spurs series. he literally had one bad game, and that was game 3 in which the spurs shot 300% from 3 ... every Miami player had a bad game that night.

do not mistake scoring < 20 points for a bad game. example - LeBron had 18/18/10 in game 1 (a loss) in which parker made a few wild shots to steal the game. 18/18/10 is a very good game.

bolded text is the most important concept for haters to learn. contemplate it, understand it, realize it. for your health.

[ripthekik]

Op, definitely agree with you. Other greats have maybe single bad games. This guy has multiple bad series. They don't go away.

Right. Kobe gets a lot of credit for 2004 and 2008.

Much more than his 2003 and 2006 seasons :facepalm

i think kobe's performance in the 2004 finals was awful, and i think LeBron's performance in the 2011 finals was awful. i think they both played excellent in the playoffs those years though, and my post was directed at haters in general, not haters of either player specifically.

[Lebron23]

He still had better overall statsline than Kobe in the regular season, playoffs, and in the NBA Finals.
