Do you even know what a sweep is?


Oh wait. You

Still, the question remains: Can LeBron clean up Kobe's 5-year mess?

Since I've been educated on ISH by 2 people with 30 accounts that Pau Gasol was the true FMVP and best player that LED the Lakers to the promise land of champions not once but TWICE, why is it that he went 0-4 and got swept in the first round in 2013 as the first option with THREE ALLSTARS alongside STEVE NASH and DWIGHT HOWARD?

He finally had his chance to prove himself as a first option with cancerous ChuckBe/BrickBe out. Why did he get swept with multiple allstars on his team? Why wasn't Pau able to win a single game in the first round let alone winning the finals and FMVP!?

In fact, they lost each game by an average of 16pts straight into a sweep. Why did the true FMVP go 0-12 before Kobe and then 0-4 when he finally had his chance to prove himself as the true first option and FMVP as the first option? Should he not have been able to carry the Lakers through the playoffs and the finals and win FMVP as he supposedly did in '09 and '10?

And please no irrelevant deflections in terms of out of context stats that are unrelated to 2013, please try to stay on the topic at hand.

Thank you.

According to the Cambridge dictionary[1] to sweep in this context means, "to win all the parts of a competition, or to win very easily". So unless you want to argue that the Suns did not win the series easily, I consider it a sweep.

I rule in favor of the defendant, Manny98. Case closed.

Looks like lebron has been swept 6 times in the finals

He's always dominant. Thus, never swept. And KD is on the hardest road. Thus, he can never sweep.

Losing finals 4-0,4-1,4-2 isnt dominant. It means the other team won easily. Congratulations. Your own logic devoured you.

Gentleman's Sweep

When a team wins a playoff series, but loses one game in the series. A team is said to have let the other team win one game before sweeping them.
