From 2011-2016, Lebron's preseason favorite fell to Finals underdog or loser every year, except the Ray Allen miracle.
So only a miracle stopped Lebron from underachieving the expectation for 6 straight years.
Lebron's fans and media will cry about "comp", which is a way to weaponize his failure to meet expectation.. So if your preseason favorite loses, just claim "comp"

Why would you have said this lol
lakers were the champs and actually even backed up the odds, were the 1st or 2nd seed when AD went down.

Aside from his 4 title seasons, 2006 and 2015, Lebron was either lottery, upset, locked up, swept, record loss, or lost with preseason favorite - that's 15 years of sheer failure (most of which in his prime), and only a few years where he was viable (although 2 of those years were teammate bailouts and of course franchise players at 2nd and 3rd option super-team stacked deck collusion)

Nobody has achieved less with more. Nobody.
