Quoted for truth. ISH is a funny place apparently being sent home early in the playoffs is better than reaching the finals multiple times, but not always winning. Who knew
DH12 lost in the first round as a favorite, but he raised his game above his regular season performance.
Lebron lost in the finals as the favorite, but he dropped off significantly in stats and performance. (and yes stats and performance is two different thing IMO)

Lebron is not labeled as a choker, people are only expecting him to never have a bad game and be better than Jordan or something, expectations on Lebron is more than on any player in NBA history to be honest, we are kindof spoiled with Lebrons clutch plays and numbers, anything less and he choked.

Who choked more?? ISH??
Well anyone that's not an insane Lebron dickrider or idiot knows that Lebron choked in the 2011 finals. But I at the same time I don't think anyone considers Howard a choker, a choke job is when you're an 1 seed losing to an 8 seed or completely failing to show up in the finals(I'm looking at you James Harden)
Re: Players that are labeled as (even if unfairly) chokers
well of course lebron choked in 2011. i am just showing that to show that choking can occur in any round of the playoffs whether the first round or the finals. If you perform like lebron did thats choking even if he had won that series against dallas with that statline and performance people would still consider him accuse him of choking

Why do people keep bringing this up? It's not about losing in the Finals, it's the context of how you lost. Was your production noticeably lower in the Finals? Did you miss game winning free throws? Did you miss wide open shots in a Game 7? Or were you simply beaten by a better team?
That's the ****ing difference. You people are being facetious just for the sake of being facetious. Did Durant "choke" in this past NBA Finals because he lost? No, the man scored 31 PPG on 55% shooting, something to that effect if not exactly that. Did LeBron "choke" in the 2011 NBA Finals because he lost? Yes, because he averaged under 20 points per game when he typically averaged around 30 PPG that season, and hardly scored any points in the fourth quarters.
Does it really have to be broken down? If you lose in the first round, of course it should be considered more of a failure than losing in the Finals. BUT IF YOU ARE ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS WHY YOUR TEAM LOST IN THE FINALS, then obviously the lost is more significant.
