Stephen A Smith: Lebron hasn't won a series in front of Lakers fan yet

[kawhileonard2]

He mentioned this on First Take and it is a fact. The bubble he was able to win with no fans but the pressure of having fans broke him and now he hasn't won a series in 3 years in front of the fans of LA. This despite


https://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/NBA_2019_preseason_odds.html (4th) - No Playoffs
https://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/NBA_2021_preseason_odds.html (1st) - 1st round exit
https://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/NBA_2022_preseason_odds.html (2nd) - Not even play in.

MJ never beat an elite team in the Finals.

Not sure who Jordansbulls is, but he beat Showtime and many other greats. Hell even the Sonics swept the Rockets. The Jazz swept the Shaq/Kobe Lakers and beat the Hakeem/Barkley/Drexler Rockets and also the Duncan/Robinson Spurs and then they fell to MJ.

[1987_Lakers]

No Pat Riley
No Kareem

Worthy played. Kareem retired and he was used to losing with HCA. Riley got fired.

But let's stick to the topic. "Lebron hasn't won a series in front of Lakers fan yet"

Prove me wrong!

[1987_Lakers]

Worthy played. Kareem retired and he was used to losing with HCA. Riley got fired.

Worthy played injured
Kareem was top 10 level during Showtime's prime.
Riley resigned, didn't get fired.

"HCA". Thanks for exposing yourself as Jordansbulls. That was the only thing you ever said on realgm, one of the reasons you got banned, you brought nothing intelligent to the table.

Now you are reduced to bumping old threads on ISH whenever you feel insecure about LeBron.

Let's focus on this.

[sbw19]

This occured to me midway into the season. One playoff win in front on home fans. But didn't bother to post about it. We got a title. Bubble or not. Shortened season or not. Doesn't matter. It counts in the end.

But to strictly LeBron fans. Please understand why the likes of Koke, Magic, Shaq and Kareem are in a different stratosphere when it comes to being LAKER Legends. They won (and lost) games, series and titles at the Forum, Staples etc. That takes on a whole different meaning to us Laker fans. Doesn't diminish what LeBron did, but doesn't negate the truth of it.

LeBron is a legend, won us a title and will be in Laker lore no doubt. But he will never be them.

Scrimmage awards aren't proper chips.

[GimmeThat]

did not know Lakers fan are now shareholders of the Lakers organization, if so, poor choice on the front office anyway.

Stephen A's logic is pretty much why nudity exist on television. "as a woman, you say you like man, but I'm not gonna take your word for, so I'll harass you and bring this subject up, until you get naked in front of camera for the male audience. This is the only way I can know."

but just not the way she thinks or talks, right, Stephen A.

[sbw19]

Scrimmage awards aren't proper chips.
I'd have suspended/cancelled the season regardless of who won, they didn't.. for business reasons. Don't disagree on the circumstances making it a completely different kind of competition, but it affected all teams so. From a fan's perspective it felt rather sterile, but whatever. It's a title nonetheless, even if more of an experiment.

Everything about that time was weird and different. Virtual drafts. Fanless arenas. Pepper lemon parties. It felt as if the entire experience was held in a parallel universe.

[Spurs m8]

So let's just be honest here...

Covid scrimmage games aside...

We've had 3 actual seasons of LeBarry in LA

Lottery

Won 2 games in round 1 - AD scored 30+ both games

Lottery

It has been nothing short of a failure...and he's also traded away the young guns like Ingram....as well as draft assets

That's our LeBarry

I know you are JordansBulls from realgm.


According to the obvious historical record and also Magic and Isiah (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6og_pOVi2w&t=0m16s), the Bulls' cast on paper was nothing compared to the 80's dynasties.

:confusedshrug:

A great team simply wasn't needed to win in the 90's - so Jordan won every year..

He would've won every year in the 80's if a 2-star team was sufficient to win in that decade - but it wasn't until the latter part when expansion spread the talent around more evenly..

Jordan never really got help - he simply waited until a league of parity existed, where the best player will win mostly all the time

[nayte]

While he is right let's talk about dudes in the playoffs

[TheGoatest]

In other words: LeGOATest beat 4 teams that faced no pressure from fans on his way to the 2020 championship/Finals MVP :banana:
Thanks for the compliments, Stephen A. Smith. :applause:

Lebron played with Shaq who won league mvp and 3 finals mvp's and lost in round 2. Lebron played with Peak Duncan who had won 2 league mvp's and 3 finals mvp's and won bronze medal. 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. Lebron played with mulitple PER leaders as well and now Russell Westbrook a league mvp winner and more triple doubles than Oscar Robertson. Yet despite all of that Lebron lost with all of them.
