So why does everyone have a winning record against him (Pierce, Dirk, Curry, Duncan)

Everyone beats this fraud

If AD hadn't saved him, Jokic would've beat him last year

[theman93]

Must be a patty-cake league if the toughest challenge is to defeat a guy who’s suffered the 2 biggest margin of victory Finals losses in NBA history, loses Finals more than he wins, and misses the playoffs entirely the first season he’s in a conference that’s actually challenging.

[Airupthere]

kerr exaggerating again. its like with social media now, everyone is desperately trying to create those moments in NBA history. like lebron exagerrating the draymond foul on him saying he as seeing three rims and just went for the middle. what a fkn actor this guy is. cringe in every way with his quotes and answers to the media.

And on a serious note:

LeBron James has more playofff series wins than anyone in NBA history. Sorry Mike :lol

I was watching this game live and no doubt LeBron hit a big shot to win the game, but that dude so over-acts stuff. When he was on the sidelines getting eye drops I was saying to my friend, "This is probably going to be a meme like LeBron telling the trainer to put more tears in his eyes to convince the officials it was a flagrant." lol

The over-zealous acting gets me every time. "I was seeing 3 rims out there and aimed for the middle one." lol

AD actually played like dogshit when LeGOAT wasn't on the court.

LeElevate birdfed the dude most of his points and MADE him rise to the occasion.

BMC obviously just doesnt have that kinda impact :confusedshrug:

AD averages 30+ PPG on elite efficiency for his career in the playoffs pre-Lakers. Its pretty much impossible to win a championship with them though. Michael Jordan would lose on the pelicans. Its a Garnett timberwolves situation.

No AD

No playoffs.

It’s a fairly small sample size, but in any case Im not saying he isnt a capable player. You posted his stats from last night, and I pointed out he played like shit for long stretches last night, which people pointed out in the game thread, and only came alive when LeInspire made him come alive.

Besides, this is not prime Lebron. This is 36 year old, playing since 18, almost never any downtime Lebron. No other player would come close to carrying this kinda load in such a circumstance.

The dude is working miracles, wavin that beefy magic wand around.

Its not a small sample size. Pelicans played in many playoff games. Look at Zion right now... He's putting up peak Barkley lines and can't even make the playoffs. And yet AD was able to do that and produce big time when he got there. LeBron couldn't even make the playoffs out West before AD. Facts are facts mate. Kobe made them with less.

Almost never any downtime?

2019: Played barely over half a season and didn’t participate in the playoffs
2020: Got nearly 5 months off during the season because of COVID
2021: Played barely over half a season again and is a full go for the playoffs

He’s had plenty of down time to rest up for an end of career push. It’s literally been a perfect storm lol

And yet LeBron won more frequently than MJ so what does that say about MJ's losing frequency? :lol

Were you aware that MJ played five years without Scottie Pippen and in those five years he has zero rings, zero Finals, zero playoff series wins and only one playoff game win? Were you aware of this?

Jordan has the goat championship frequency in 3-pointer history - 6/15 or 40%

And the non-Pippen years you refer to are when he was 40, or a rookie/soph when everyone loses (if they weren't drafted to a good team)

owning a league > owning a conference

(especially a weak and "fixed" conference, aka a super-team colluded/built to win every year)

Everyone knows he formed all these super-teams yet still had so many debacles that you'll stop reading if I start to list them..

Otoh, Jordan's blemishes are pretty short list by comparison, don't you think?

Pippen did that in Game 7 against the 90' Bad Boys, which cost the Bulls a 4-peat from 90-93'.

Actually, he did it in the previous year against the 89' Bad Boys in Games 5 and 6 - so he cost the Bulls a 5-peat...

Actually, he was trash in 88' and 95' too, so he cost the Bulls any year they didn't win.. he was barely the minimum amount of help, and there were times that Jordan couldn't carry him (88', 89', 90', 95')

[SATAN]

So Steve is implying that it's harder to beat LeBron than MJ. Interesting.

[deathawaitu]

Kerr definitely would love that 4th ring beating Lebron

I mean Lebron has never had a winning final record against curry or Duncan.

Lebron is like the sloppy ex that gets passed around. Everyone gets a turn boys

scottie saved mj from 1st round rapings when he was 1-9


then in 93' ecf scottie saves his ass again, bulls down 0-2 and mikes playing in the chicago gutter and in game 3 down 0-2 mike puts up a 3 for 18 game...good thing pip led the bulls to a win

it was over after 1 quarter where the Bulls were up 11 and Jordan had 8 points with 6 assists shown here:

Pippen had 6 points and 0 assists..

Since it was a blowout and Jordan was the leader when it mattered, the intro to the following game reflects Jordan's leadership in Game 3:

Mj won rings in a light and soft era but in 02 and 03, could not make the playoffs in what was called the then-weakest eastern conference.

Doesn’t matter unless you win it all, so your soliloquy is irrelevant.

All MJ needed was one other all-star. Lebron needed Wade, Bosh, Love, Kyrie, and Davis and is still 2 rings behind Jordan while having played 3 more seasons LOL
