Is LeBron the GOAT loser?

[Rysio]

Now this isn't a LeBron hate thread more of a appreciation thread.

LeBron's last 2 playoff runs for example: 40 games 34/9/9 55%fg 60%efg 63%ts and this was at age 32 and 33

Can you find better numbers in deep playoff runs in loses than this?

[RRR3]

Weirdly phrased title. I get what you’re tying to say but this is going to make some LeBron stans mad and lead to this becoming a troll thread.

[Monta Ellis MVP]

Yes he is. He needed more help.

[PoutinPippin]

It’s a convo between him, West and Wilt. So he’s not definitively greatest at anything. Even his standard of losing.

You can't find better numbers period. I think he's probably just the GOAT. Full stop.

LeBron is 2nd all time in championships won as the teams best player and has gotten to the finals more times than anyone in the modern era so how is he a loser?

Simple. Because he loses when he gets there.

Hold-time needed to get 34 ppg in 2017 Finals

Lebron... 8.2 minutes time of possession
Durant'... 3.8 minutes time of possession

Kyrie and Curry were at 6.7 and 6.2, respectively


^^^ that's why lebron lost despite a 29 ppg sidekick - only lebron was dominating the ball to get stats - the "your-turn-my-turn" approach with Kyrie < ball movement with KD

^^^ that's every year, not just the 2 runs that OP cited

A massive sample of all-time-level stats with mostly losses = empty stats

It's the definition of it

Btw MJ had the goat losing run in 1990 - 37/7/7 in that playoff run (89' too)

He's won 3 times retard

[FKAri]

Yes. Lebron's the GOAT, loser.

:rockon:

[theman93]

He's won 3 times retard

And lost twice as much. He's a loser plain and simple inbred

[PoutinPippin]

True and 2 of them were circumstantial levels fluky ... and the legit one was a terrible lockout shortened season. Ouch.

Most likely.

Specifically one who's a proven ultimate carrying machine in the east.

Came here to say this :cheers:

[Duncan21formvp]

Yes. He lost with HCA to Dwight Howard a career loser and brought America two bronze medals in the Olympics and FIBA.

[Gileraracer]

He needs more help. This wasn't enough to have a positive finals winning percentage:

Shaq
Ray Allen
Dwyane Wade
Chris Bosh
Kyrie Irving
Kevin Love
Ben Wallace
Anthony Davis
Dwight Howard
Demarcus Cousins
Jerry Stackhouse
Mike Bibby
Rajon Rondo
Carlos Boozer
Antawn Jamison
Shawn Marion
Deron Williams
Derrick Rose
Adam Silver

You forgot two more players; mo williams and eric snow.

Rashard lewis could also count as well.

I get what you are saying and I agree, but this thread (any thread) would become a troll thread no matter how you phrase the title.

Adam Silver **** you. Basketball is a team sport.

[deathawaitu]

I wouldn't say the goat loser yet.

But Lebron is definitely cemented top 3 loser though

Consensus top 2 loser

Arguable GOAT Loser

OP befuddled LeBron's fans with his sneaky criteria to the point they're saying "LeBron James is the GOAT loser" :lol
