100 years from now, the 2011 Finals will still be talked about - a historic date

the greatest choke of all time

[AlternativeAcc.]

Nick Anderson

Nick Anderson

Yes.

[SouBeachTalents]

So will 2016.

Nick Anderson


Lebron had a few "Nick Andersons" in his career

Maybe not 4 straight FT's, but he's missed more clutch FT's than anyone in history... And turnovers

no one coughs it up with the game on the line more than Lebron when we considere his missed FT's, turnovers and a weak pull-up (low efficiency in the clutch)

Correct. 4 straight is the entire crux of it.

A SG missed 4 straight FTs, directly leading to a finals loss to an inferior team, taking the wind out of their sails, and leading to a decisive loss..again to an inferior team. And changing the future outlook of the franchise. It was so so devastating. I feel bad for the dude honestly.

That’d be like the equivalent of a closer coming in and walking 4 straight batters in a World Series game that would/should have been won.

Do you realize that no one in history has more missed FT's with the game on the line then Lebron??.. And no one turned it over more with the game on the line than Lebron, while his clutch efficiency is horrible too

Regarding Nick Anderson - he's a relative nobody and being down 0-1 never took the wind out of anyone's sails

That would be absurdly weak mentally..

I heard Horace make that excuse once, which confirmed that he was infact a soft lamb that MJ carried.. MJ's mental force was the yin to the cast's yang (weak mentally).

So the Nick Anderson choke was nowhere near Lebron choking an entire series as the favorite with a historic super-team of Lebron-Kobe, I mean Wade

You do realize that even if that WERE true..it has nothing to do with the single choke that was initially brought up.

Lebron missing occasional clutch FTs over 2 decades is not the same as missing 4 in a row in a finals game where literally going 1-4 would have won it. A young inexperienced, but talented team losing in that manner in game 1 is absolutely devastating. Despite being a better and more talented team, they did not recover. Obviously.

He's referencing Nick Anderson stealing the ball from Jordan in 1995. Just shows you never watched basketball in the first place.

Pretty good huh.. you gotta give me some credit there

Regarding the Nick Anderson steal - how many times has Lebron turned the ball over to lose a playoff game? Anyone know?.. And what's his efficiency with the game on the line

[warriorfan]

the greatest choke of all time

LeBron did not only get outscored by Jason Terry. LeBron logged in 67, that’s right, 67 more minutes than Jason Terry, that is like giving LeBron more then a free entire game and he still came up short vs an old, zero-time all-star, undersized guard, Jason Terry on the biggest stage. (https://www.basketball-reference.com...s-vs-heat.html)

Just one of many reasons why it is the common consensus that it is the GOAT choke. The worst choke of all time. Which immediately invalidated any conversation of being the GOAT and still to this day makes it an argument if he’s top 10.



It’s also worth mentioning that the Finals were too much for LeBron, he already had previous experience in the Finals too so it wasn’t his first time around. LeBron was in his prime at 26 and it was his second appearance….the lights were still too bright and he choked hard again. Choked even harder then the first. It’s the GOAT choke.

[sdot_thadon]

Correct OP, but for reasons completely different than you're hoping I'd imagine. They'll remember it for being the lump Lebron had to take to fire up the historic run he had following it, blowing by almost everyone in the goat convo in the process. And if at some point he's seen as the unanimous goat, it will be the origin point that made him goat. You can't get a W in any thread these days bro.....

if you need to talk about a historic date that's worth mentioning 100 years from now, your brain must be shrinking faster than you imagine.

100 years?! Bron so polarizing. Nothing else like it

[LeGoat4Life]

At the end of the day who cares?

We will all be dead. And no one would give a fck about Lebron at that time since he probably would be top 50

[Overdrive]

Nobody will talk about Lebron or any of this or any previous era's player in 100 years from now. Who still talks about Babe Ruth aside from ranking him on some lists maybe? Who even talks about Mikan and that's 70 years ago?

That's what makes it such a great troll

[Spurs m8]

Except everyone, including you, still talks about MJ daily, 20 odd years after his retirement

He also still decimates bron in shoe sales, though that was never a battle.

Jordan is a legacy in more ways than one and always will be.

LeBarry will always be the copy cat that never got there...that will be his legacy once the manufactured hype dies down

^^^ those are prime Pippen stats

So when everyone else plays shitty like 11' Lebron or 14' Wade - it's considered massive choking - but when Pippen does it for 6 title runs and Finals, it's top 30 all-time

Absurd

LeBron is held to a higher standard since his stans want to declare him GOAT. No one (at least not in their right mind) argues Pippen is top 10, let alone GOAT...maybe except for that knuckle dragging mouthbreather Goatits.

Yep! or 2004 Olympics or 2006 FIBA or 2009 vs Dwight Howard a career loser.

[Street Hunger]

Need to rewatch these Finals. Struggling to remember how the Mavs pulled this off.
