Lebron was 1-20 from 3 in 4th quarters against Denver

LMFAO

[Airupthere]

He's thinking of retiring so let's not talk about the sweep nor his 4th qtr performance vs the Nuggets.

Also, he was injured. He played injured even after he went to the Lebron James of doctors and that his injury just magically healed faster than anyone on the planet.

Let's stick to non2023 playoff related threads that Lebron23 is flooding this first page with so we can divert our attention from this horrendous performance.

this is some cast away, the ball lied to me stuff. prepare to cue in above posters crying and running after Lebron once the cycle of life of piss, poop and *********ion hits them.

lol, he was "injured". that's why he played so many minutes

Also, the last two chokejob plays by lebron in the final game, let's not bring that up. It's timely to discuss about 90s karl malone at this point in time.

I think there was at least three. He had the possession where he dribbled out the clock instead of shooting the open 3 or attacking Jokic when James was being guarded by him on the perimeter. The no call travel to ugly baseline shot that went off the side of the backboard. Then when he got stuffed at the very end of the game.



LeBron shooting over 6 3’s a game while shooting 25% is just insane though. He was more concerned with padding stats then trying to win.

they could have beat the Nuggets if LeVag didn't play. at the least, they wouldn't have been swept

:oldlol: Damn. It's worse than I remember. Nice recap. Someone should make a video montage of these plays.

Had it been another top player than went through the exact same fkups, you would have the bronies flooding these boards.

5% shooting yikes

[ImKobe]

It's 1/10 but it's still ****ing awful lol, considering a number of them were also momentum-killers (Westbrick-esque), and not bailout shots like some stanleys have been saying online. He was 2/20 or w.e in the POs in 4th quarters overall IIRC.

Did some fact-checking and he was 2/25 from 3 overall in the 4th quarter of the 2023 Playoffs.

Austin Reaves shot 65/64/100 in the 4th quarters and led the Lakers in 4th quarter ppg w/ 5.2. AD and Bran both averaged 4.6. AD was also great with 54/40/85 averages while Bran averaged 4.6 ppg on 33/8/71 shooting.

It's a travesty that they didn't let AR-15 cook more in these clutch moments against Denver. He was money in damn near every game when they gave him the chance. Just poor leadership by Bran IMO, considering he was visibly gassed in all of the 4th quarters and had guys on his team who could have shouldered the load more.

No doubt Lebron struggled shooting the 3 ball, especially in the 4th quarters. Great example of how age beats everyone.

Let's be real though, as great as Reaves was this year, there is no way Lebron/Lakers is going to rely on Reaves to win playoff games for them every round. Reaves was great in his specific role, but I doubt he'd have the same success all of a sudden being the number 1 option closing 4th quarters. If anything, AD needed to be the one being more aggressive at the end of games.

Come on man...as a Kobe stan have you forgotten what your idol did his whole career? It didn't matter if Kobe was shooting 2-20, he was going to keep shooting in the 4th quarter and at the end of games. Idk how you can blame Lebron for doing the same thing and saying it was "poor leadership" when Kobe would've (and did) the exact same thing.

Lebron performed better against those Celtics and Magic than Kobe did. Kobe also wasn't doing ANYTHING at 38...literally nothing past the age of 35.

Oh a before you say "well Kobe beat the Celtics and Magic" as if that automatically makes Kobe better, Lebron has a 16-6 winning record against Kobe.

Celtics they were comparable, LeBron was awful those last 3 games of the series and both were kinda meh for their standards. And while Kobe actually played very well against the Magic, LeBron had a GOAT tier series.

It's a cherry-picked stat tbh. Only compares their FG% when Kobe took a lot of 3s.

Not going to defend the Orlando Magic series 4th quarter numbers, but the 2010 one is kinda misleading on it's own in terms of his efficiency in the 4th.


He averaged 7.6 ppg 29/17/90 splits which still looks bad on paper, but you weigh in his FGA (5.9) & FTA (4.1) and it's 7.6 ppg on 49.3%TS, which is still meh but not as bad as it would suggest in that image.

Lebron OTOH in these Playoffs averaged 4.6 ppg on ~44%TS in 4th quarters. In this era.

Watch how they defended Bran and how they went at Kobe lol. Bran was left in single coverage because they were scared of his teammates making open 3s while KB got double-teamed a lot. That doesn't excuse the poor shooting in 4th quarters altogether but it's something you should take into account. Different circumstances.

Are these stats also misleading?

Here are Kobe's finals stats

2000 - 15.6 ppg | 39 fg%

2001 - 24 ppg | 41.5 fg% | 50 TS%

2002 - 27 ppg | 51 fg% | 62 TS%

2004 - 23 ppg | 38 fg% | 46 TS%

2008 - 26 ppg | 40.1 fg% | 50.5 TS%

2009 - 32 ppg | 43 fg% | 52.5 TS%

2010 - 29 ppg | 40.1 fg% | 52.8 TS%



Here are Kobe's game seven stats.

44.2 MPG

22.2 points

FG 38.9%

FT 67.3%

8 RPG

5 APG

1 SPG

1.3 BPG





Here are Kobe's stats when facing elimination.



22.3 PPG

Bran is in year 20 but still takes bad 3s like he's prime Kobe. Go figure. I thought he had the highest BBIQ in NBA history but he turned into Westbrick in the clutch in these POs.

That 1st Q injury makes Kobe's 2000 Finals look a lot worse than it really is. You also include games from his teens when he barely played. Kills the averages quite a lot.

Bang! They don't get this. The reason it's biting them back coming from all sorts of people is precisely because of what they put out there. Claims, expectations, self-congratulatory remarks. Lebron is obviously not the worst, but if you're going to be talking, better make sure you back it up. They like to sht on MJ's 3pt shooting as if bran is much superior, then wtf is this sht?
