Trying so hard to justify his 2 for 6

great compared to what?

why the ****?

I usually support LeBron when he messes up, but I can't defend this, it's just a bad mindset to have

All the miscontextualization in this thread...

He wasn't even referring it to individuals; he was doing so for teams in general, and it's obvious he was just paying homage to the stacked Lakers and Trailblazers teams of the Western Conference Finals pit-off. If it was contrived, it's subtle and certainly going out of his way to do so by acting thrilled about watching the the two teams

Hes right but sounds bad from a current player

Agreed.

Bron is right, but yeah, him saying this sounds beta.

[AirFederer]

Agreed but not a thing he should be saying while still playing.

"If you don’t know the history of the game, man, you’ll forget how many great teams didn’t win championships. And that doesn’t mean they wasn’t great, though."

That was the full quote, and he's right.

Bull ****. That's beta. If a team doesn't win a championship, they're not 'great'. They're losers. They may be better than the other losers, but still losers. If you're not first, you're last.

Edit: There is an obvious agenda here of LeBron trying to explain his 2-6 and make it sound good. If he doesn't feel horrible about his 4 losses, he's a loser. He needs to have a problem with 2-6, not justify it or joke about it.

Well yeah, sometimes your team faces injuries right before or during the Playoffs, fluke shit happens like Ray Allen shot in Game 6, 2013 Spurs were a GREAT team that just shat the bed when they should have had the ship locked up. And some years, the league just isn't as good. 2007 Spurs aren't on the same level as the 2004 Pistons or 08 Celtics.
