Why was Lebron an underdog heading into the 2012 Finals?

[3ba11]

Oh wait.. He lost 3 times in a row as the favorite from 2009-2011, so I guess it was a "fool me once" type of thing.

[AirBonner]

LeBron is on your mind all the time

[Axe]

Should you need another dox about your lame life before you can behave, op?

[SouBeachTalents]

LeBron is on your mind all the time
He's must've made close to 150 posts about him this weekend :lol

[RRR3]

Why did LeBron double Kobe’s FMVP total?

The honest answer is because like his fans now the experts, media vegas weren't confident in his ability to win.

[Manny98]

He's always the underdog even with superteams

His teammates reputation gets destroyed to build a narrative that LeBron never played with great teammates

Even going into this year they're trying to downplay how stacked this Lakers team is

Because he went up against 3 MVPs - Durant, Westbrook, and Harden and beat them.

Did Jordan ever beat 3 MVP players on the same team?

No.

Because his teammates were all trashcans. I mean, Chris bosh, seriously? That guy is just kyle lowry-level.

No.

Or maybe it's because he lost the finals the year before to a team that only had one star with the second best player being a basic roll player. Brons final play didn't inspire alot of confidence in his ability to win at the time

Westbrook and Harden didn't win MVPs till 5 years after so no

LeBron was underdog against a bunch of kids, yikes

OKC ran a train on the might West :(

Swept Kobe 4-0
Raped Dirk 4-1
Slapped Duncan 4-2

OKC was 12-3 heading to the Finals with only three losses in three series against ALL three legends (Dirk, Kobe, Duncan) and LeBron had to beat them FOUR times in 1 series? How did he do it?

Thread Cliffs:


Durant / Westbrook / Harden all on 1 team. All 3 players would win MVPs.


Bron took them out.

Wrong.

This was the reason why OKC was so highly rated:

The 20-0 win streak Spurs got smashed 4 games in a row to a "bunch of kids".

[8Ball]

You guys don't win arguments against me.

You just started watching basketball a few years ago.

I know my shit. There no idiotic narrative / statement you say that actually has a hold over me.

[Manny98]

Nobody's denying that they were a great team

But you can't say they had 3 MVPs when Harden and Westbrook weren't close to MVP caliber in 2012.

[Hey Yo]

So it had nothing to do with OKC sweeping the defending champs, beating LA 4-1, beating SA 4-2 or Bosh coming off of injury missing 9 consecutive games between during the ECSF and ECF?

Nah that definitely played a roll also but to act like bron not winning a chip and struggling the year before not playing a role is just dumb.

Guys? Is it done now?
