when you manufacture a career resume in plain view, under everyone's noses, it creates a mystique... but it's more that American Greed kind of mystique (fraud), not the good kind.. and then everyone just waits for his next hiccup, because they sense he isn't all he's cracked up to be and that the hiccup is coming - let's face it - we all expected LeBron to fail last night

I expected the probabilities to be in my favor that he would indeed fail. And Bran did. Just like in 2016 it should of been over in 5, until the variables in the equation all changed when Silver interfered in the most unprecedented manner in basketball or sports history for that matter, in the middle of a Finals series by suspending a key cog and all-star in the Warriors team.....a team that had a bloodbath 7 game series the previous round and grinded a 73 win season..... Draymond suspended just to prevent a quick series blowout and extend a lifeline to Bran's legacy. Pathetic, cheap, unethical, noncompetitive, weak.

If anyone ever needs evidence of professional sports being rigged - you need no better example. They wanted an excuse and they clutched at one the second the chance to build one presented itself.

The NBA exercising their power has always been part of the NBA (aka rigs) BUT NEVER this blatantly - never this in your face, never to this magnitude...... to the point of disgust. We are not just talking about refs calling fouls here and there like they are capable of doing (2002 Kings-Lakers WCF, 2012 Miami-Celtics ECF)... but literally taking a body out of the equation by abusing the rule book. Prob why I left in disgust. And even then the fraud needed a bailout shot from Kyrie. Can't make it up.

Kinda draws parallel to the Dodgers-Astros World Series in 2017, when a key player in the Astros line-up (Yuli Gurriel), key to their success, made a blatant racist remark (slanted eyes) about the choking Asian pitcher of the Dodgers (Yu Darvish) at the time. The league had two options: #1 - to suspend Gurriel for the rest of the series (2 games were left) or to #2 - postpone suspension for next season.

They could of easily gone with #1, heeding to the media and political pressure coming their way that a player, participating in the sport premier event, was tainting the values MLB promotes: inclusiveness, acceptance, and tolerance. After all; the incident caught fire and the MLB had a PR disaster in the middle of a world series on their hands ....... with the potential to overshadow the World Series itself. Every judging mother****er was waiting for the MLB's swift and brutal response to show racism isn't tolerated in the MLB....after all, what is one player compared to the millions and billions in reputational damage? Nothing...

They could of easily gone with option #1 .... too many reasons to do so. But they chose #2, with all that was on the line. And they stuck with it for the integrity of the game. One of the most ballsy moves by a league commissioner in sports history that I've ever witnessed.

The MLB and the commissioners office deep down understood that everyone can make mistakes (as Gurriel did - even if the man himself feels genuinely either way), and that the competitiveness of the series would unfairly tilt in the Dodgers favor if they banned the Astros player. True fans of the sport would never have forgiven them for it. For handicapping a team to favor another. Above anything, Fans wanted to see the true competition that was on display all series long. This was robbed from true basketball fans by Silver, and only the media parrots that must carry the party line supported it actively or neutrally, and only partisan fans cheered on it. It was nothing but a disaster and a black mark in the NBA's history. No matter how much they think their clout can shape or overwrite history.

But anyway back to the MLB... the player didn't serve suspension till the following season, the series went on to 7 games, and became one of the most iconic World Series of the past 20+ years. Astros win that World Series.

You can say whatever you want about PEDs in baseball in years past, and how that league, with those commissioners of that time looked the other way... but the MLB never stoop so low as Silver did in 2016.

Silver, the worst, most crooked commissioner the league has ever seen. He even left "Basketball Reasons" Stern in the dust just 3+ years into the job and that was Sterns parting middle finger to Buss. And I hate to says it, but damn, a Jew.

Prob why I left in disgust. And even then the fraud needed a bailout shot from Kyrie. Can't make it up.

They could of easily gone with #1, heeding to the heat and pressure coming their way that a player, participating in the sport premier event was tainting the values MLB promotes, of inclusiveness, acceptance, and tolerance. After all the incident caught fire and you have a mini-PR disaster league wide on your hands with the chance to overshadow the World Series itself - and sponsors etc would all be watching your moves....

They could of easily gone with 1 .... too many reasons to do so.

But the league deep down understood that everyone can make mistakes, and that the competitiveness of the series would unfairly tilt in the Dodgers favor - and that true fans of the sport, above anything, wanted to see true competition.

So the player wasn't suspended, the series went on to 7 games, and became one of the most iconic World Series of the past 20+ years.

lol Do you have any friends, bro? I didn't read this wall of text, but I found it interesting that you decided to take the time to type it all out and that, after a full day on the board already obsessing about Bran, you are still up to it even now. I don't really care how worthless your life is, but I'm mildly amused and interested in the aptitude you have have for being completely pathetic.

It's understandable, Lebron has been a hot topic after the Christmas game.

You had him running over to sit on Kevin Hart's lap. That's going to cause a thread. You had him missing a clutch free throw, open shot. That's going to multiple threads. You had him getting blocked in the clutch by 6'1" in shoes Patrick Beverley. That surely is going to cause multiple threads. Then you had the term Lebum trending, of course people are going to talk about that.

Then you add the troll threads from Wheels in his wheelchair. Honestly, if you think about it 22 seems rather low.

I expected the probabilities to be in my favor that he would indeed fail. And Bran did. Just like in 2016 it should of been over in 5, until the variables in the equation all changed when Silver interfered in the most unprecedented manner in basketball or sports history for that matter, in the middle of a Finals series by suspending a key cog and all-star in the Warriors team.....a team that had a bloodbath 7 game series the previous round and grinded a 73 win season..... Draymond suspended just to prevent a quick series blowout and extend a lifeline to Bran's legacy. Pathetic, cheap, unethical, noncompetitive, weak.

If anyone ever needs evidence of professional sports being rigged - you need no better example. They wanted an excuse and they clutched at one the second the chance to build one presented itself.

The NBA exercising their power has always been part of the NBA (aka rigs) BUT NEVER this blatantly - never this in your face, never to this magnitude...... to the point of disgust. We are not just talking about refs calling fouls here and there like they are capable of doing (2002 Kings-Lakers WCF, 2012 Miami-Celtics ECF)... but literally taking a body out of the equation by abusing the rule book. Prob why I left in disgust. And even then the fraud needed a bailout shot from Kyrie. Can't make it up.

Kinda draws parallel to the Dodgers-Astros World Series in 2017, when a key player in the Astros line-up (Yuli Gurriel), key to their success, made a blatant racist remark (slanted eyes) about the choking Asian pitcher of the Dodgers (Yu Darvish) at the time. The league had two options: #1 - to suspend Gurriel for the rest of the series (2 games were left) or to #2 - postpone suspension for next season.

They could of easily gone with #1, heeding to the media and political pressure coming their way that a player, participating in the sport premier event, was tainting the values MLB promotes: inclusiveness, acceptance, and tolerance. After all; the incident caught fire and the MLB had a PR disaster in the middle of a world series on their hands ....... with the potential to overshadow the World Series itself. Every judging mother****er was waiting for the MLB's swift and brutal response to show racism isn't tolerated in the MLB....after all, what is one player compared to the millions and billions in reputational damage? Nothing...

They could of easily gone with option #1 .... too many reasons to do so. But they chose #2, with all that was on the line. And they stuck with it for the integrity of the game. One of the most ballsy moves by a league commissioner in sports history that I've ever witnessed.

The MLB and the commissioners office deep down understood that everyone can make mistakes (as Gurriel did - even if the man himself feels genuinely either way), and that the competitiveness of the series would unfairly tilt in the Dodgers favor if they banned the Astros player. True fans of the sport would never have forgiven them for it. For handicapping a team to favor another. Above anything, Fans wanted to see the true competition that was on display all series long. This was robbed from true basketball fans by Silver, and only the media parrots that must carry the party line supported it actively or neutrally, and only partisan fans cheered on it. It was nothing but a disaster and a black mark in the NBA's history. No matter how much they think their clout can shape or overwrite history.

Yep...that scenario resulting in 3/7 which inevitably turned into 3/9 caused ISH accounts to change and others to leave.

Once in a while the dogs try and test to see if the leash is still strong so they bark and try to land a bite or two on the herder... see what type of response the herder gives - see if they can break free.

He lost more in the Finals than anyone ever has in 3-pointer history.

So playing a Lebron team in the Finals is playing the worst comp ever, as confirmed by his worst-ever Finals record (22-33, aka lottery record in the Finals).

Furthermore, his ring count lacks integrity because he manufactured extra Finals appearances by forming super-teams in a conference that 1-star teams were winning (Iverson, Dwight, Kidd).. These extra Finals appearances provided a large sample to see how inept his brand is on that level.

It's funny because this frontcourt ball-dominator produces perennial Finals underdogs and barely meets the underdog expectation (4/10) - he'd be way under expectation without 2 teammate bailouts.

But everyone gets knocked for losing with good teams and top seeds, whether they make the Finals or not...

And no one lost with good teams more than Lebron - no one.. Just check his Finals record (worst-ever) or count his losses with 1 or 2 seeds or super-teams

And again, his Finals streak, ring count, and FMVP count lacks integrity because he manufactured extra Finals appearances by forming super-teams in a conference that 1-star teams were winning (Iverson, Dwight, Kidd)..

Which seasons did LeBron actually lose with the more talented team?

2009: You could make an argument that he did, though personally I'd take Rashard & Hedo over Mo & West. I'm also not gonna knock the guy for losing when he averaged 39/8/8 and hit a GW in the series

2010: Pre series narratives aside, the Celtics undoubtedly had the better team. There's not a single player on the Cavs I'd take over any of the Celtics Big 4

2011: No explanation needed, he had the better team and had a colossally bad series

2014: Wade & Bosh were both awful (esp Wade), and the Spurs Big 4 performed better than anyone else on Miami

2015: Lol

2017: I'm sure you'll actually try to argue that the Cavs were better than or equal to the Warriors, but they weren't. The 2017 Warriors were a GOAT level team, the 2017 Cavs while talented, were not

2018: Lol

2021: With AD missing half the series, not a chance

That's what I find so hilarious about the "LeBron always loses with superteams" narrative. By my count he lost with legitimately championship caliber teams twice, once was his own doing in 2011, and the other he ran into arguably the GOAT team in 2017. Most of the time, he loses while facing a significant disparity in talent: 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2015, 2018, 2021

There's no excuse for Lebron to not have 65-70 win juggernauts from 11-17' and 20-22'.

Unfortunately, his frontcourt ball-dominance prevents the best strategy (ball movement), thus WASTING a lot of the team's talent.

Lebron's proclivity to underachieve the team's talent is confirmed by him turning preseason favorites into Finals underdogs or losers for 7 straight years (2010-2016)
