Can't win if someone on your team has betrayed you like Delonte. Ask shaq in 2004

I don't think he choked.

He stopped giving a **** is what it was.

2011 was a choke. 2010 he had 1 terrible game (Game 5) and two substandard games (Games 4 & 6) to end the series. Considering how unstoppable he was all season and in the playoffs until then, his drop off in play was pretty jarring

to anybody who was watching the heavily favored Cavs fall apart in the last 3 games with Lebron shooting like shit and turning it over all the time, most definitely

to people who weren't following the NBA and just rely on box scores, maybe not.

No. Celtics were the best team that year by far.
Cavs had Mo as 2nd best player. :lol

The first 3 games he was insanely good.
Game 4 was subpar for his standards.
Game 5 was just bad.
Game 6 he put up 27/19/10. He was subpar through the 1st 3 quarters but in the 4th was responsible for 15 out of 18 of the Cavs 4th quarter points. He scored 10 points of 3/5 shooting and hit back to back key 3s to keep the game winnable.

That's not choking.

Yes anyone who actually watched that series knows that he choked and quit.

Only one's who say otherwise are Bran stans.

He didn't choke, he just quit. Those are two different things.

I can't call 2007 a choke. There were some obvious flaws in his game at the time and the Spurs just exposed them.

In 2010, he appeared to have quit. He played a much more passive game compared to his earlier playoff and reg season games. The Celts simply crushed his spirit after game 4.

Dude averaged 6TO's a game in a series that was settled under within very small margins.

No he didn't. They might've won if he had teammates like Ron Artest to hit big 3s

If you watched the whole series you will know he choked and then quit on his team

If you say otherwise you are box score watching or a bran Stan or probably both

Lebron ran from a fossils that were 32-34 years old (KG/Pierce/Ray), while MJ beat prime Bad Boys when they were 27-29 years old in 91' (Isiah/Dumars/Rodman).. KG was a 14/7 bum post-injury and the 50-win Celtics were big underdogs to league fav Cavs (Year 7 organic juggernaut).

And stats confirm that MJ nearly beat the Bad Boys in 1990 with less help on both sides of ball than the 06-10' Cavs - this includes the #19 defense vs top 10 for the Cavs and less offensive help (less PER, WS, PPG & efficiency from Pippen than all-stars like Zydrunas/Mo or Hughes acquisition)

He quit, he even faked an elbow injury and started pulling theatrics like shooting free throws left handed :lol

Of course x ray’s and MRI came back showing no damage whatsoever :roll:

This. He mentally shutdown and had one real superstar performance. The Celtics during this time were a shell of their '08 selves so he had a very real chance too

Yes, LeShrivel absolutely did choke.

Most choke jobs in the history of the sport, as I've proven on here multiple times.



In before 1987_Lakers comes back with "But Tom Brady!!" :roll:

During the regular season, yes. They mustered up enough to flip the switch to get back to like 70-75% of what they were during the 08 season, which was enough to make one final Finals run. Their defense was great during that 2010 run plus the emergence of Rondo helped move the offense forward.
