    You could say the same about Pau "0-16" Gasol

    I was watching game 7 in 2016 the other day, JR hit some HUGE shots to get them back in the game. Warriors were making a run and up 8 and JR hit 2 straight 3s.

    OP weren't you a celtics fan? So now you openly root for a Laker? OK.

    Yeah his b2b 3's in the 3rd were big time, same with Lebron's in the 4th. Both instances brought Cavs within reach

    JR was garbage in 2017 and 2018 though

    Lets stop hating for a second.

    2011 Finals was a meltdown from LeBron I agree but what happened to your Warriors in 2016?

    I admitted that LeBron had one of his worst NBA Finals ever yet you still wont admit that the 2016 Warriors also had choked. The double standard you are setting on LeBron James is real in this.

    You also donīt apply your injury excuse to everyone too. Your narratives needs to be consistent.

    Lets apply your standard to Steph Curry. As much as you clown on LeBron for having one of the worst Finals meltdown ever lets not forget Steph Curry did too.

    To set everything we need a little bit of backstory. Lets start WAY BACK to the end of the 2015 NBA Finals. GSW just eliminated the Cavs to win the title.
    They won the title against Cavs who was missing its best 2 starters throughout the series. Iggy won Finals MVP.

    GSW won at the expense of LeBronīs legacy.

    Now lets sim to the end of the 2015-16 season. GSW just won 73 games with Curry dropping 46 on Memphisīs head. Curry won the Unanimous MVP.

    Curry suffers an injury against the Rockets in Game 4. But suddenly all injury concerns dissipated as Steph Curry exploded on the Blazers for 40 points on their heads and posting his highest GmSc in the 2015-16 Playoffs.

    Here is a video of that 40 point game. The Greatest Shooter to ever play the game (Im no Curry hater btw)



    Curry went on to average 25.5 points for the rest of the playoffs and led the Warriors to comeback from a 3-1 series deficit to beat OKC.
    At this point, nothing could go wrong, right?

    Nope. Infact everything did go wrong. After the series was up 2-1 Curry averaged only 16 points!

    GSW would eventually lose Bogut and lose Green for a suspension but it wasnt nothing compared to when Cavs lost their 2 of their starters.

    GSW failed to win Game 5 on their home floor and Curry was a negative in plus-minus for the rest of the series.

    Curry posted horrendous playoff performances that LeBron would get absolutely slammed for doing so.

    Curry shot 8 of 21 in Game 5
    Curry shot 8 of 20 in Game 6

    And to cap off the Warriors historic season with everything on the line, what Curry did was nothing short of sensational! (sarcastic, there)

    Curry shot 6 of 19! Thatīs worse than Game 5 and Game 6!!

    Despite Draymond Green greatest performance ever, Curry still couldnt get it done.

    Curry ĻchokedĻ in every way possible in Game 7.

    However, after his dismal Finals performance he will go on to win multiple titles to secure his place as one of the top 3 PG ever.
