Remember that prime Lebron gave up against the Celtics too

[3ba11]

Lebron averaged 21 on 34% for the last 3 games of the 2010 ECSF to lose a 2-1 lead against the 50-win Celtics

The 62-win Cavs were a massive favorite against a post-injury Garnett that was a 14/7 bum and had a crappy, 50-win team.

The only reason the Cavs lost that series as a massage favorite is because Lebron quit just like current KD..

So KD and Lebron are 2 colluding peas in a pod... In their prime, I choose Durant for better brand of ball and teammate fits/chemistry.

Meltdown :lol

Kobe averaged 21 on 34% for the last 3 games of the Finals in his lone MVP season, including blowing a 24 point lead at home and getting annihilated by 40 in the clincher.

Remember when LeBron beat this Celtics team without Kyrie?

:lol

I remember when he lost to them with Proven Shaq.

I feel like the sports news has gotten smarter since the Lakers went out and the takes aren't too different than the stuff we see on here...

Accordingly, no one will say what you just said because it's obviously ridiculous on many levels, including the roster, coaching and experience

Ridiculous? Sort of how you said 2009 Shaq = current Durant?

Compare stats from Lebron vs 08' Celtics in 2nd Round to Kobe's in the Finals

Lebron averaged 26 on 35% - so only Lebron has series losses due to bad efficiency - 3 losses where he shot under 40%

[kawhileonard2]

His mom also gave it up to Delonte West.

[Johnny32]

imagine scoring 22 points on 26% shooting (mj vs sea) and 23 points on 25% shooting (kobe vs bos) to "close" a team out in the nba finals and win a championship. not everyone can get carried by their defensive minded teammates like jordone and kobe.

Lies. LeBron shot 48% in Games 5 & 7 in '08. Kobe's the one who in fact shot under 40% in 3 losses.

2008 2nd Round

Lebron..... 26 on 35%


^^^ So Lebron has 3 series as 1st option that he lost due to poor efficiency (under 40%), compared to none for Kobe
