I've been hearing this recently but I don't see anyway any star could do this in an elimination game in the Finals.

I love how the time keeps getting earlier and earlier. :oldlol:
Pretty soon people will be claiming Lebron checked out of the game mid way through the 3rd quarter.

People will also believe Bosh was a top 3 player in the league when LeBron signed with Miami

I don't know how much time was left when he checked out of the game, didn't really care. Even after the Heat jumped out to that huge 1st quarter lead I never thought they were going to win that game. Lebron is great, but I knew that not even he could beat the Spurs 1 vs 5. I'm gonna have to call shenanigans on you not watching the game. :lol We all know you had been waiting 3 years to watch Lebron get eliminated! No way would you pass that up. :no:

It was with about 7 minutes left but he did indeed check out with plenty of time left in the fourth quarter. However, this is because he had played every minute in the previous three quarters (he played 41 minutes) . Of course he was going to have to rest at some point. I assume the plan was for him to have a short rest--but in the ensuing minutes it became clear the game was over and Spo did not put him back in. Those who claim he "quit" are being ridiculous. The man played 41 straight minutes and was the only Heat to show up in that game. He had 31/10/5; "superstars" Wade and Bosh had 11/3/1 and 13/7/2 respectively.

Serious question, has Kevin Durant ever asked to come out during a playoff game?

Serious question, has Durant ever won more than one game in the Finals?

:biggums: :wtf:

He's won more Finals games at his current age than LeBron ever did at that age...

He didn't have to collude to a Finals MVP's team to do it either... :lol :oldlol:

Your trolling is getting worse by the week.

Also Westbrook > anyone Lebron played with in Cleveland.

Is it true that Servant and Westbrick are still ringless despite being the 2nd and 3rd most talented and with the help of a great supporting cast? I heard that recently, would like to confirm with OP.

:applause:

TBH lets be fair, at least his stats didn't suffer much. The great constant in this universe is LeBron puts up 26/7/8 on >50% shooting (Warning results may vary?) :confusedshrug:

i don't think lebron fans, like myself, care about that. As long as he gets his 57%FG, we still think he's the GOAT. Even if he had stayed in the game, he would have only attempted dunks and fastbreak layups to better that FG%, and only focus on increasing his assists and steal rebounds out of teammates' hands. DAT GOAT BBIQ!

Did anyone watch the game? He played the entirety of the first three quarters and finally needed some rest after 41 consecutive minutes of play. Spo kept him out because by the time LeBron would have normally returned the game was over.

Up until 2 years ago, bran was a ringless choker. So I'd relax with your pot calling kettle black shots.

I think there was like 6 minutes left.

He needed a break anyway. And then when there was like 4 minutes left there was no point in coming back.
