is beating Steph Curry the greatest accomplishment of Lebron's career?

[STATUTORY]

a 6ft2 jumpshooting point guard that Bran stans claim is not even a top 50 player of all time?

this is THE greatest highlight of Lebron's career?! his stans still relishing the moment nearly half a decade later :roll::roll:

what a weak ass resume if Steph "NEVER had an ICONIC playoff moment" Curry is the #1 scalp on it :oldlol:

1. That question is irrelevant.

2.
Lebron is a Ray Allen bailout shot away from being 0-2 against Duncan Again, you are incorrect in your reasoning. Ray Allen shot was a circumstance of pure luck yes but you are conveniently forgetting LeBron's 10+ points to lead the Heat back in the 4th qtr. Also, Ray Allen's shot did not WIN Game 6. It only tied the 4th quarter.
After the shot, LeBron was guarding Tony Parker who could have hit the game winner if LeBron wasnt playing defense. Who made the go ahead shot in OT in Game 6? Thats right, LeBron James!

Also keep in mind even with Ray Allen miraculous shot the Heat STILL had to win Game 7 or else that shot would be for naught. LeBron James came up clutch dropping 37 points and the dagger in Game 7.

Your point is flawed and lacks basis/understanding. :facepalm

3. LeBron did not bully some "light skin jump shooter". Curry is the greatest shooter of alltime and led his team to 73 wins and won Unanimous MVP so your point is flawed. Dont try to downplay Curry in order to fit your flawed agenda.

Curry had the greatest 3 point shooting season of alltime. He shot 46% on threes which is astonishing for the modern era.

Your point fails again.

Your whole argument falls apart.

[Stephonit]

You can tell by the reaction of LeBron's fans what they really think.

They could choose to bring up winning against the 3 future MVPs or instead a team with Duncan, Kawhi and two other Hall of Famers—but it's the 73-win team they cannot get out of their minds.

Curry is absolutely legendary.

having his scalp as a part of the klay dray iggy 73-win collection - thats a great display piece

2017 and 2018 are literally the most stacked teams of all time. go look it up.

thats why curry didnt get the finals MVP those years either. he wasnt even the best player on the team.

lebron had more finals MVP votes than curry did back in 2015. lebron had 4 MVP votes and curry had zero MVP votes. and this is lebron with zero help, kyrie and love both out against a healthy and deep 67-win team:

The Cavaliers had more number one draft picks and a higher payroll and were the pre-season favorites. Are Klay, Draymond and Iguodala all Hall-of-Fame locks? The Spurs had more of those. But it's always Curry's team that gets the attention.

Im not going to watch it because I remember those seasons well. those warriors were cooking teams and splashing threes at an all-time rate. plus they had great defenders for the era in dray and iggy that gave them an elite defense.


67 wins
73 wins


the cavs were only better because of two reasons - lebron and kyrie. they would've won both years if kyrie was healthy - but then again who knows what happens if we roll the dice again maybe the warriors win both.

the point I am making is that they were on a comparable and competitive tier. but then kd's bitch-ass joined the 73-win warriors without them sacrificing a thing and then he turned them into the team that we saw that swept the west going 12-0 without breaking a sweat. they could've swept the finals too if they played better. they were disgustingly stacked.

its very obvious and its because of talent. kd steph klay dray and iggy is overkill against just lebron and kyrie you have the three best threepoint shooters in the league and defenders to make their job even easier. you'd need to give lebron and kyrie someone on the level of AD to compete because thats what the warriors did by adding kd without giving anything up.


the point of basketball is to rig the deck so the warriors didnt do anything wrong it just comes down to kd and him complaining that he took the hardest road and had to move to a new city and blah blah blah. kd is a bitch.

An overlooked fact—but fact it is—is the 2017 Cavaliers had more three-point shooters. JR, Kyrie, Love and Korver can all shoot the three. Look up the average 3pt% of that Cavaliers team in the playoffs. It's higher than that of the Warriors.

korver is a terrible defender jr is a bonehead and love wasnt exactly great against the warriors to be honest, it isnt a good matchup for him. its the full picture. klay kd and curry are the best threepoint shooters in the league plus kd and klay are great defenders and they have dray and iggy who are also great veteran defenders.

plus klay and iggy and dray guard every single star scorer for curry so all he has to focus on is running around and getting open for threes. dray and iggy can both facilitate the offense as well.



meanwhile other players have to create every single open shot for their team, defend, and create for themselves otherwise they wont have a chance at winning.

By far his greatest achievement, and the one that he's most proud of.

[deathawaitu]

If not, beating Durant/Westbrook/Harden. Or the Duncan/Pop Spurs.

Not a very high standard, quite a few players already done that

But to answer OP question: It's definitely the highlight of Lebron's career so far, even though he is 1-2 against Steph, also 1-2 against duncan

So basically Lebron has a losing record against other All time greats.

[3ball]

If not, beating Durant/Westbrook/Harden. Or the Duncan/Pop Spurs. 73 win Warriors are a solid option though
It's common knowledge that the Heat had the most talent from 11-14', so beating Pop/Spurs means nothing... especially since the 98' Jazz beat Duncan/Pop, and didn't need luck like Lebron did

And don't act like Harden was good in 2012 - he was better than 89' Pippen, but that's not saying anything - it's a black mark that Lebron couldn't be the favorite with a goat cast in 2012... :no:

And regular season records mean nothing - see 2009 ECF - so why mention 73 wins?... Lebron simply best worse basketball players, aka Curry < Shaq, Magic

[Bronbron23]

Theres definitely a double standard with bron fans here. They diminished mj because he apparently faced non athletic players but in the same breath praise bron for beating one of the least athletic teams ever lead by a 6'2 unathletic point gaurd who underperforms come playoff time.

I've always admitted the warriors couldve lost to a cavs team with kyrie playing and blatt coaching. They were a much more veteran team, on top of being equally or more stacked.

In 2016, however, the warriors were 22-7 favorites. (https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/page/GSWCLE-15859161/nba-playoffs-2016-experts-predictions-golden-state-warriors-cleveland-cavaliers-nba-finals)

With both teams at full strength? they won every game by double digits to take a 3-1 lead.

I'm sorry, but they peaked way higher than Cleveland ever did, and they did it without Durant.

There was a reason for the backlash.

But of course hindsight.... they couldnt win without him, even though they did, and did so demonstrably.

2016 permanently ruined tpols. You hate to see it.

I've always admitted the warriors couldve lost to a cavs team with kyrie playing and blatt coaching. They were a much more veteran team, on top of being equally or more stacked.

In 2016, however, the warriors were 22-7 favorites. (https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/page/GSWCLE-15859161/nba-playoffs-2016-experts-predictions-golden-state-warriors-cleveland-cavaliers-nba-finals)

With both teams at full strength? they won every game by double digits to take a 3-1 lead.

I honestly don't disagree with that. I think the Warriors were the best team in the league from top to bottom pre KD, they have the results to back that up. But coming down to a 7 game series, the scoring binges from LeBron & Kyrie would've cause them fits in future matchups, especially if Curry struggled like he had the previous two series. I think we were on track for a great rivalry (GS/OKC too) until Durant joined, I really wish we got to see a rematch of 2016.

But yeah, the notion that exists now that they couldn't have won without Durant in future seasons is definitely cringy, they were absolutely capable of winning additional titles with that 2015/16 core

Has as many as Bill Russell—and you know what they ended up doing to honor that guy to cover up their stupidity.

curry is already the GOAT regular season and western conference playoffs 3-point shooter.


cant call him the GOAT finals shooter. I value clutchness and that goes to RayRay, hands down.

This is an extremely ignorant post. Learn about basketball history, please.

As good as the Warriors were in the regular season, Cleveland was a much more dominant team in the playoffs

By Net Rating, the Warriors were the 4th best team in the 2016 playoffs. Their rating was half that of Cleveland and IIRC San Antonio and OKC

Yet they're still far better than any team MJ has faced in the finals

Imagine being the true goat for being selfless by losing six times in the finals.

Cool graphic but most those values are wrong. 2016 Warriors had a Net Rating of +4.4, not 6.3, for starters (2016 Cavs were at +9.5).

Another interesting fact with Net Rating is that the only team LeBron beat that had a higher Net Rating than his own team were the 2013 Spurs, who were ahead by 0.3. What does that mean to you?

Imagine making a big deal out of beating Steph "NEVER had an ICONIC playoff moment" Curry

Nice and all, but maybe, just maybe, losing in the finals brings net ratings down.

it's not even that.

it's the 3 point shot that increases variance of games and even series tremendously compared to the 2 point era.

The spurs, warriors and mavs went on 3 point tears during their runs with a lot of blowouts. That will inflate the net ratings a lot.

the 90s west was also littered with so many HOF talents it's hard to count so teams were on more even footing, where as our current West has maybe 2 super contenders each year.
