Re: Who's the best player Lebron has beaten in the playoffs
[QUOTE=edrick]I always love it when haters bring up Ray Allen hitting one shot. Like Kobe didn't have Fisher, Horry, etc. hitting big shots or something. People always ignore the fact that Lebron is the only reason they were even in the game. Plus, he hit a 3 before Ray Allen's 3.[/QUOTE]
Everyone needs a bit of help but jebronlames said lebron "carried" the heat to the championship. Which is absolutely ridiculous. Missing 2 3s in the final minute before bosh rebound -> pass to ray allen. Arguably the greatest shot in nba finals history is not a bail out? :facepalm
Re: Who's the best player Lebron has beaten in the playoffs
[QUOTE=Kaspah][B]I can't get over the best ball player in the league, leaving his hometown team to join a stacked team in order to ring chase. Had he never left Cleveland, with or without rings, he'd hold much more prestige and respect from a fan of the game like myself.[/B]
If y'all can get behind that and root for that man, then you're no real man in my eyes.
On top of all that cowardice, he has 2-5 to show for it.
I can't get with it, dude ain't a champion.[/QUOTE]
do you say the same about Karl Malone, CB4, Pippen to the Blazers/Rockets, Shaq to the Heat, Clyde to the Rockets, etc? highly doubt it...and again stop whining about this hometown b/s, that is so rare, it is unremarkable no comparable to anything :facepalm
I wonder if you would remain in your hometown if you saw there was no way you'd succeed with that mgmt? if so, you're the coward in taking no risk to success of your future

[QUOTE=Beastmode88]Thunder were babies. Westbrook had one of these worst performances in nba finals history and harden was just flat out garbage cause he did not show up in the finals[/QUOTE]
What are you smoking?? they beat the Lakers, the mavericks and a veteran spurs team in the NBA Finals. Stop hating on Lebron. He's the GOAT small forward after this season.

did you say this about Lebron when he faced the Spurs while on the Cavs? :rolleyes: 3-4 yrs in the league, same as KD, and KD had two star to all-star players alongside him
Re: Who's the best player Lebron has beaten in the playoffs
[QUOTE=Lebron23]He also beat a Prime Rose, Boozer, and Noah.[/QUOTE]
MVP Rose at that

In the nba, if you leave your team as the best player in the league, you're weak.
When you're great, you have other players come join you. You as the great, ain't supposed to leave bumming other guys to get rings.
Re: Who's the best player Lebron has beaten in the playoffs
[QUOTE=Lebron23]Just a terrible thread. OP is a douchebag. Lebron also beat Billups, Hamilton, and Wallace in the conference finals. He also beat a solid scoring trio of Jamison, Butler, and Prime Arenas.[/QUOTE]
You have 45k posts, all of which are about Lebron, and you still don't know that
- The Pistons team that Lebron's Cavs beat was far past their best, with Ben Wallace already in Chicago. beating your chest over this like beating the Celtics after Bird retired
- Lebron never faced a full strength Wizards team in the playoffs (which peaked at 43 wins anyway), since Arenas got hurt in 06/07 and was never the same again, he didn't play at all in the 07 series against the Cavs and was a shell of his former self in the 08 series (8 games played for the entire season)
Re: Who's the best player Lebron has beaten in the playoffs
The 2012 Thunder's team was the best Thunder team of all time. Harden killed the Spurs in the conference finals. OKC were also a young team and the lockout season also benefited them.
Won NBA Western Conference Finals (2-4) versus San Antonio Spurs (Series Stats) (50-16)
Won NBA Western Conference Semifinals (1-4) versus Los Angeles Lakers (Series Stats) (41-25)
Won NBA Western Conference First Round (0-4) versus Dallas Mavericks (Series Stats) (36-30)

So you consider KD at the age of 23 already better than Magic Johnson or Karl Malone?

You are a $hitty poster. The Pistons still made it into the conference finals in 2008 and the won 2 games against the 2008 Celtics while the same celtics team destroyed the lakers in the nba finals.

lol...so delusional but whatever helps you drive your agenda :rolleyes:
Re: Who's the best player Lebron has beaten in the playoffs
Ray Allen made that 3 to send the game into overtime who guided the Heat to the win in that overtime session :biggums:
better yet, who led the Heat to that game 7 win :biggums:
Who was the Finals MVP :biggums:
haters can do whatever to sugarcoat the outcome but history is carved in stone and you can't change that.
Re: Who's the best player Lebron has beaten in the playoffs
[QUOTE=Kaspah]Lebron was this close to being beat by the spurs twice in the finals instead of once
And that was Ray Allen being clutch
Then you think about past champions winning rings and whom their opponents were.
Lebrons resume isn't impressive.[/QUOTE]
Lebron was beat twice by the Spurs in the Finals...almost three times.
