'13 postseason
Wade: 16/5/5 on 57 TS%
Bosh: 12/7 on 59 TS%

'13 ECF (Series went 7 games)
Wade: 15/5/4 on 50 TS%
Bosh: 11/4 on 50 TS%

'13 Finals
Wade - 20/4/5 on 51 TS%
Bosh - 12/9 on 49 TS%

From what I remember, that Miami team dominated everyone in the regular season when they were healthy, they also had very good role players too who fit. But once the playoffs hit they obviously weren't the same team, mostly due to Wade playing hurt. I have a vivid memory of LeBron carrying Miami during the Indiana series, it seemed like every game in that series Bron's supporting cast was laying a fat egg while he had to bail them out, although Wade did step up in the Finals, finished off with a nice game 7.

2013 Finals


* Lebron averaged 16 on 39% for the first 3 games of the Finals, while teammates staved off an 0-3 deficit.

* His 23 on 43% was insufficient through 6 games and needed Ray Allen to save him

* Lebron had a zero plus/minus and negative net rating for the series, so the Heat didn't win with him on the floor

* Lebron averaged 25 on 45% for the series, while Wade got 20 on 47%, so Lebron didn't carry the scoring load and therefore never beat maximum defensive attention in his Finals career (never beat max defensive attention on the highest level and never carried bed-wetting teammates over any top 5 SRS opponent).


The 3-star Heat didn't need an extra 2 stars to beat their 1-star opponents in the East, so it's no surprise that Wade didn't produce much in the Eastern Playoffs.

But Lebron never beat top 5 SRS teams or Finals teams with bed-wetting teammates, so Wade was near-equal scoring partner in the Finals.. Equal scoring partners attract equal defensive attention, so Lebron never defeated maximum defensive attention in the Finals and never beat top 5 SRS teams with bed-wetting teammates.

Lebron didn't have a carry-job in 2013 because he was horrible in the Finals, while having a near-equal scoring partner and being a net negative for the series (Heat didn't win with him on the floor)

Otoh, MJ always carried the Bulls in every series ..

Lebron never defeated maximum defensive attention on the highest level because he never carried the scoring load while winning a Finals.

He also never carried bed-wetting teammates over a top 5 SRS opponent - so that's zero carry-jobs against good teams in 2 decades of playing

97-99' wasn't Kobe's prime

But he was arguably the best player from 01' onwards - even Shaq said that Kobe was the best player in the league

Regardless, it isn't really about ring count - it's about demonstrating that you know how to win (organic) and can defeat maximum defensive attention on the highest level (being able to carry scoring load on Finals level)

Kobe did those things as well as anyone

Virtually any all-star caliber player could've learned to "win organically" if they had peak Shaq for 8 years to start their career, on top of having Phil Jackson as coach.

Penny didn't win with Shaq

And Shaq was swept with a 4-all-stsr team in 98' by the Jazz

And Wade couldn't win in 05' and only won 1 with Shaq

So Kobe did better than all these guys because...... he was obviously better than anyone Shaq played with..

Furthermore, he transferred his organic knowledge of how to win to a new cast in 09', just like Kawhi did in 19' or Jordan did in 96'.. so knowledge of how to win is TRANSFERRABLE.. those guys knew how to win (chemistry), while Lebron only knows how to amass enough talent to win, aka team-hop (talent-based winning.. all-star team strategy)

Penny played with Shaq for 3 seasons, and this was 22-24 year old Shaq, not peak Shaq, so that's an absolute shit example :lol

Why don't you check the numbers of those 3 other "all-stars" in the '98 Jazz series. They make Scottie Pippen's worst series during the Bulls title runs look magnificent.

And Wade was injured in '05 you dishonest fakkit :oldlol: They were up 3-2 on the team that destroyed Kobe the year before when Wade injured his rib, missed Game 6 and was clearly hobbled in Game 7. He then went on to win a title the very next year, outscoring Shaq by 20 ppg in the Finals. And again, this was 33-34 year old Shaq, not peak Shaq. So all of these examples are complete dogshit.

The hilarious thing is, you want to call that a carry (Ignoring the fact that MJ shot like shit in that series and it was Pippen who closed out the Knicks)

But you are hesitant about calling 2013 a carry when LeBron outscored Wade by 10 ppg in that playoff run and had a 59 TS% compared to Wade's 50 TS%.

What really stuck out in this post is that you just confirmed you didn't watch game 6 in 2013. Miami was down 10 points entering the 4th quarter then Bron proceeds to score 16 points in the 4th to bring them back in the game. Funny how that is never mentioned.

Most definitely a carry job. Anyone who says otherwise is a delusional hater.

15.9 ppg in the playoffs is the second lowest scoring average for the 2nd leading playoff scorer on a championship team this millennium. That is a fact. But the haters have a hard time dealing with facts.

And even with that factored in LeBron had a negative +/- for the series. Back then there was meme after meme (before memes were even mainstream) of him getting stifled by a fat out of shape Boris Diaw. The gut actually came in handy stopping a bulldozer. Ray Allen almost single handedly saved his career with that shot.



Lebron 13' Finals first 3 games... 16.7 ppg on 44.1 ts.. 16.2 gmsc.. 26.1 usage.. 100 ortg

Kong's older teammates, like big z, boobie gibson, mo williams, d-wade and kyrie irving were all better players than kobe.

Even scottie pippen who you think was just a mere role player in the soft 90s bt averaged more ppg (almost 21 ppg) in his finals debut than kobe ever did in 2000 (around 15 ppg).

Lebron played with Peak Wade who won finals mvp and got outplayed by Jason Terry. Lebron played with Derrick Rose who won mvp under age 30 which was the same as Kevin Durant who won mvp under 30 while both were on Golden State and Cleveland.

Tmac lost to Utah in 2007 while Lebron was losing to a career loser in Dwight Howard and also Carlos Arroyo in the Olympics with peak Tim Duncan on his squad despite playing more minutes than Hakeem even played on the 1996 Olympic team.

"The weatherman says the weather is changing soon and predicts a thunderstorm," LeBron wrote alongside a photo of himself and Anthony Davis. "It's coming. Prepare and take proper caution measures to stay safe."

6 rings in 11 full seasons without super-teams > 4 in 19 with them

Lebron quit on the Cavs and they burned his jersey and held his family hostage. He also only won 1 title for the franchise that drafted him which is pathetic in 11 years. Imagine someone getting credit when they lose with Shaq and only get to round 2 and they lose with peak Duncan getting bronze medal.

I still find it hilarious that famous moment could have been brons moment...but we all know he's the anti-clutch.

What famous moment does bron have?

None really.

Some block where JR held up a badly injured Iggy who's back was fvcked....bron come from behind with a block.
Cool bro

Can’t wait for his last dance knock off doc where it’s going to be full of boring dunks, travels, and stiff arms.

How they gonna sweep so many failures under the rug?

And down play the colluding, asterisks and bail outs?

Doesn't have a flashy game or enough real accomplishments to cover the downsides.

Man, its going to be so carefully edited, missing context and truth, left, right and centre.

Just like when his stans talk about him.

Maybe they can talk about longevity stats for 8 episodes....

I find it funny how people “forget” these things:
Lebron had a 30 point triple in that game 6 and was the sole reason the Heat were even back in the game.
Wade was in the bench during that run.
Ray Allen had 0 points until the 4th quarter.
In game 7, both Bosh and Ray had 0 points lmao.

This!!

Just imagine knowing this for a FACT prior to that game 7 against the Spurs:

Chris Bosh would score 0 points in 28 minutes
Ray Allen would score 0 points in 20 minutes
Mike Miller would score 0 points in 19 minutes

No person in the world would've thought it was possible for Heat to grind out a W with such chokeage. Yet LeBron somehow carried them to a chip. :applause:

Talk about irony. :roll:

I think I remember that. Wasn't that the game where MJ hit a finals game-winner?

The irony is that when the Bronies try to disparage Jordan, the "evidence" they show is him hitting finals game winners. :roll:

Penny didn't win with Shaq

And Shaq was swept with a 4-all-stsr team in 98' by the Jazz

And Wade couldn't win in 05' and only won 1 with Shaq

So Kobe did better than all these guys because...... he was obviously better than anyone Shaq played with..

Furthermore, he transferred his organic knowledge of how to win to a new cast in 09', just like Kawhi did in 19' or Jordan did in 96'.. so knowledge of how to win is TRANSFERRABLE.. those guys knew how to win (chemistry), while Lebron only knows how to amass enough talent to win, aka team-hop (talent-based winning.. all-star team strategy)

Can't be organic when you tell the league that the Lakers are the only team you'll sign with.

He went ring chasing before his name was ever called.

I've heard they might be replaced with nickelodeon kids choice ceremonies to cater to him specifically instead. :ohwell:

No. And the in conference playoff competition pre Finals was absolutely dog shit. Because D-Rose tore his ACL the year prior and Miami had consolidated the three franchise players together in their prime on the same team. Cake walk to the Finals.
