And why did he need Kyrie or Ray Allen to win 2 of those 3 rings? How come he is incapable of making a game winning finals shot when his team isn't already up in points? I though this guy had confidence?

This guy is basically Jerry West with a 1-9 finals record. :lol

Lebron also averaged less ppg in 2013 and 2016 Playoffs than Kobe in 2001 and 2002 as a "sidekick". Kobe's championship run in 2001 is on par with Lebron's best.

Simply put, Lebron is a loser and exploited a terrible EC to pad his Playoff numbers, only to get swept in the Finals.

Imagine being in Silver's position and having to deal with Lebron to promote your product. Is that the best you can offer to a fan base that watched MJ and Kobe? Serious? Talk about not having a leg to stand on. The guy wakes up every day and screams "why couldn't my job have been as easy as David Stern's! He had MJ!" :cry: :cry: :cry:

The same reason his team is never the one administering the Finals blowout - it's always the geriatric spurs or the 1-man Mavs or the Warriors in 17 and 18'

This exchange and sb article describes how lebron's skill restriction to ball-dominance prevents his teams and offenses from being good enough to administer a Finals ass-whooping:





Wade played good defense that series, and the spacing was a matter of neither Bron nor Wade being able to space the floor to benefit each other. Both of them were being stonewalled due to this. Both of them played better when spacing was available by either one of them not being on the floor

I agree with the article - both Wade and lebron's need to dominate the ball prevented them from giving the other player the off-ball shooter or slasher their ball-dominance meshes with

unfortunately, only 1 ball-dominator can dribble at a time and neither has a sophisticated off-ball game - neither guy can isolate QUICKLY upon the catch like this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZ4nFTJ8FSw&t=2m05s), or this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_xbtK6DeGo&t=0m57s), which would allow them to thrive off-ball while the other guy dominates the ball.
