Lebron was fucking AWFUL in the first Finals with the Heat. People were questioning his mental toughness. Yet, he came back the next year and played VERY well, and they won. 3 different coaches, and still 6 straight Finals. You don't think mental toughness has anything to do with that? Please. Been hyped up as the next best thing since high school. etc.
People cherrypick the fuck of these arguments. He has definitely choked in his career and IMO he's subpar these Finals even though he's been playing this was while they were sweeping teams too. But its pretty fucking disingenuous to act like that's how he's been all the time.
Single handledly beating the Pistons in the ECF. Carrying a struggling Heat team to the Finals in tough series against Indiana and Boston. Willing his team back in that historic Game 6 of the spurs and crushing them in Game 7. You could argue he was the best players in both of the last 2 Finals.
Shit is just contextless narrative really.
Considering we've been hearing about internal strife in Cleveland, Miami, and now Cleveland again, can we conclude that LeBron is the problem? And that he's a lousy teammate when the chips are down? I'd love to hear a counter to this as we've seen his teams continually bicker whenever things are going poorly, no matter which team he's playing for.
Internal strife in his first go around was Delonte supposedly getting with his mother.
I really don't remember much talk of strife in Miami, other than his supposed management team and the FO and think that your claim is mostly bullshit considering they are plotting to reunite. Also everyone bowed down in Miami when he returned as a Cav so yeah Im calling bullshit.
And this Cleveland team now has always needed a kick in the ass, specifically Kyrie who would regularly turnin 2-3 assist games as the main ball handler.
This seems more like confirmation bias than anything but I'm sure you'll tell me its not.
