Duncan showed us what a modern player would do in the 90

[TheMan]

You can't say "there's nothing Lebron could've done" when he puts up 22 on 36%

Regardless, the point is that MJ never had a series where it was clear he could've done more - he never played anywhere near that bad



And so was Lebron - it was an even matchup, yet Lebron lost by record amount...

.... while a 12 ppg role player had a coming out party on him (kawhi averaged 24 on 70% for the last 3 games)

But I'm not supposed to knock Lebron compared to MJ??... Wow, today's world is f.ucking SOFT and can't accept reality.... Everything is an excuse for what they want to believe.. there's no truth anymore... everything is like Rodney King now - that shit was a preview of today's thinking

A guy can give up 4 FMVP's to his man, average 22 on 36%, lose to 3 different Finals opponents, lose a 2-1 lead as the 1-seeded favorite, reduce all-nba players to spot-up shooting roles, team-hop every few years to play with the hottest young studs in the league, go 0-8 on clutch shots in the Finals, get thoroughly out-assisted and out-branded by multiple championship opponents, be a net negative in a Finals but still win, try to trademark a common phrase while making fun of a traditional Mexican chant and voice tone.........

I could go on all night.. but it's a waste because these facts don't really exist... He just didn't have enough help, right?

Don't do 'em like that Trey Ball
