Lebron from 2016-2018

[Axe]

The 2016 Cavs were the only team in the league with 3 franchise players, while every other team only had 1, so the Cavs were given preseason favorite status and expected to win the title.

Unfortunately, the Cavs fell to underdog by the time the Finals arrived due to a vastly underachieving regular season of 57 wins, despite having a "dream team" roster that historically gets 65+ wins, if we use the 86' Celtics or 87' Lakers as comparisons.. Or if you think that's unfair, then the 07' Mavs or 09' Lakers, who clearly had much less talent... The professional statisticians (above) back this idea that the 15' and 16' Cavs were among the most stacked rosters of all-time.

In the Finals, Lebron averaged 24 and 6 TO's to get a 1-3 deficit despite having 2 extra franchise players compared to Curry, the preseason favorite, and the unprecedented help of a sidekick outplaying the current MVP.

Ultimately, this was a lucky title that the Cavs weren't supposed to win if Silver doesn't interfere and Bogut/Iggy don't get hurt late in the series.. The Warriors had JUST ENOUGH gas in the tank to win 73 and the title, so the Draymond suspension cut off a well-running engine - there's no way to get it back and running in time.








Jordan was already unbeatable with just 1 star teammate, so he wouldn't lose to any team with 2 star teammates..

Let the historical record do the talking:

Jordan's only losses were with bad teams to great teams, while Lebron's losses were with great teams to bad teams... Specifically, Jordan's only losses were with rookie teams and low seeds to 1 or 2-seeded opponents, while Lebron lost with super-teams (11') or 1-seeded organic juggernauts (10') to 3 and 4 seeded opponents.

Don't forget the immortal Larry Seigfried & Johnny Egan.

What's funny is Wilt's career Finals ppg average was nearly identical to what LeBron averaged in 2011

Two legends in the game. I'm hoping Kblaze can drop by and enamor us with tales of their forgotten past glory. Its so important to remember the pioneers.

Don Nelson? The Hall of Famer?? You don't say!!!!

[Full Court]

I know, right? Keeping in mind, that 87_Lakers is the same guy who didn't know Sabonis was an all star.

[1987_Lakers]

He really thought Don Nelson made the hall of fame for his playing career.

Oh, and he thought that Tom Brady had the most choke jobs in NBA history.




And I guess that genius doesn't realize that Nelson's HOF entry covers his entire career as a player and coach.

Must suck to lose time and time again.

No his HOF entry is specifically for his coaching career. He went in the coach category. If it was for both he would have gone in the contributor category or been inducted twice as a coach and a player. You quite literally don’t know what you’re talking about.

And you literally can't that the fact that your hero LeShrivel got outplayed and sonned by Jason Terry. No amount of "Don Nelson" deflection can change that.

[Full Court]

Rage and fume all you want, but Lebron STILL got Jason Terry'd.

Worst choke job OF ALL TIME.

Imagine having that guy as your GOAT.

Quite the meltdown you are having.

[Full Court]

Quite the meltdown you are having.

^Trying to do damage control because he got destroyed YET AGAIN by Full Court.

Serious question for you. Who's a bigger choker? Lebron in the NBA, or you on ISH.

[1987_Lakers]

Imagine getting outscored by this guy.

[Full Court]

Full Court: Lebron, AKA LeShrivel, has the most choke jobs in the history of the sport. [shows documented proof]

1987_Dudley: Bu-bu-bu-bu-bu-bu TOM BRADY!!! Bu-bu-bu-but DON NELSON!!!





Full Court: Jordan is an entire tier above Lebron.

1987_Dudley: Bu-bu-bu-but WILT CHAMBERLAIN.


Utter desperation.

[dankok8]

The problem with Lebron in 2017 and especially 2018 is his inconsistent defense. He gave a lot of extra impact he produced on offense back on the defensive end. Not that I blame him because he carried a huge offensive load but it did come at a price. Overall I don't think his impact in 2018 surpassed that in say 2016. And the impact stats like RAPM, EPM, RAPTOR etc. agree. In fact, I'm pretty confident saying 2016 > 2018.
