Re: How did Lebron James lose to a Career Loser in Dwight Howard with HCA while havin
[QUOTE=RogueBorg;14010151]Dwight averaged 26 ppg, what about the other 77 ppg Orlando scored? Why couldn't LeBron shutdown either Hedo or Rashard Lewis each averaged above their season averages?
I know I know, Bran needed more help :blah[/QUOTE] Actually that's a good question. The Orlando players FG% plummeted when LeBron was man vs man and when LeBron was on the floor. LeBron wasn't a issue at all in the series. But hey keep sprouting bullshit to make you happy, SamuraiSwish.

I'm def not reading this dumbass thread. A bunch of these games are on youtube. Go watch them. The Magic were really good. They were one of the best 3-point shooting teams of all time at that point. They were designed like the Hakeem Rockets, but had better perimeter guys and a worse offensive post player (by far ofc).
That team was really really good. LeBron's Cavs had tough defenders, but not very much shooting or playmaking.

Bronze medal is bronze medal. If you go to war and get injured or killed at 16 vs 26 it has the same results. Age is irrelevant in that case. Same for bronze medals in basketball

[QUOTE=hiphopanonymous;14010154]This. They eviscerated the Cavs with outside shooting not just Dwight in the middle - the shooting was what killed us and also the Cavs offense looked painfully stagnet. LeBron was freezing the ball I don't know if the coach was writing that up or what but the Cavs offense was atrocious vs the Magic that year.[/QUOTE]
LeBron attempts most of his shots around the rim. A guy like Dwight Howard makes it tough on him.

[QUOTE=SpaceJam;13802098]Didn't Duncan lose as the 1st seed to the Grizz (8th) led by ZBo, who hadn't won a playoff series up until that point? CRAZY[/QUOTE]

And that's why Duncan isn't a goat candidate, just like lebron shouldn't be... :confusedshrug:
It's disqualifying to lose as the favorite or with a 1 or 2 seed
It's disqualifying to have teammates lead in scoring for numerous series
It's disqualifying to be the biggest loser in the championship of the modern era/3-pointer basketball
It's disqualifying to only go 3/7 with super-teams from 11-17'
It's disqualifying to need 2 perennial all-stars to win
It's disqualifying
It's

That's Lebron's record against the Spurs in 2007/2014 or vs Warriors 2017/2018 or Spurs 2014 and Warriors 2017 and this all with 2 or more other stars on his squad. :oldlol: And this after switching teams trying to forms superteams. Imagine Greece at it's peak with Alexander the Great trying to be the conquerer and then all of a sudden another nation out of the blue like China pops up and starts to dominate and takes over and then we just making excuses for why Alexander the Great didn't become the superpower.

How many missed playoffs does Lebron have? How many titles does he have for the franchise that drafted him? How many bronze medals does he have? How many titles does he have without leaving the original franchise that drafted him and led them to a title w/o a suspension?

Losing in the 8 vs 1 matchup is the worst odds possible - that isn't a knock - it's the only way the goat SHOULD lose
Otoh lebron loses as the favorite many times... No comparison
Lebron sucks compared to MJ... Literally sucks.. lebron loses with the best odds, and MJ only the worst

How many rings does MJ win without Pippen? 1 or 0?

Only matters if the player won league or finals mvp or led a team to the title as the only allstar. Ben Wallace did that, Lebron couldn't win with him. Shaq won 3 finals mvp's, Lebron couldn't win with him. Lebron played with Wade who won finals mvp and Lebron vanished.
He lost to Dirk and because of that we see Dirk in a different light. Dirk against MJ would be seen the same as Barkley and Malone. Players in Lebron's own era has as many titles as he does, let that sink in for a second and this for players that came into the league after Lebron.:roll:

Pippen is 1 perennial all-star
Lebron always needed 2 to win
And there's never been a bigger statistical gap between a #1 and 2 option than MJ and Pippen... mj built and carried him... Pippen was bad in most ECF and Finals - if we only looked at those stats, we'd vomit..
