lmao at 2007 cavs team, how in the world bron took them to the finals.That 07 Finals against the Spurs is worst he's done in the Finals and he avg'd 22/7/7 against prime Duncan, Parker, Ginobili, and the all dirty MVP Bruce Bowen. LBJ had Big Z, Booby Gibson, Varejao, and Shannon Brown.
People don't talk about this enough as well. Before GS became the GS we now know, the 2014 Spurs were looked at as one of the greatest teams of all time with maybe the best Finals performance ever.
He's now 3 and 5 in the Finals, but two of the teams he beat are considered some of the best teams ever assembled. It did take some really crazy luck to beat those Spurs and Warriors, but he got the W's.

And if we bein honest, he'd be up 2-1 against the Warriors if Love and Irving were healthy on the first battle. He took em to six with Delly on life support and JR bein JR

After that point though game turns into a huge blowout if JR isn't knocking down some insane 3's. I think LBJ waited a bit too long to take game into his own hands as a scorer, playing bully ball. He started doing that when they were already down 10 and they just kept trading buckets.

It's too bad he took them to the finals. It hurts his legacy because he lost, if only he could have lost in the conference finals instead...lmao at 2007 cavs team, how in the world bron took them to the finals.
I would say it and I will, he's a fraud.Some would say he's a fraud.
I don't think there is any disputing that LeBron's opponents in the Finals have been really good to great teams. The thing I don't think is talked about enough is how easy the East has been for the last 7 years. It's easier to only have to beat 1 great team in the Finals than it is to have to beat 2 good to great teams just to get to the Finals.
I think that was actually intentional on the warriors part. Like you said, they were up 10. They were happy to trade baskets as long as no one was getting an open 3 look. Lebron's defender was getting zero help, and they also took Durant off him down the stretch to keep him fresh for scoring.
The entire rest of the game, those drives were getting stopped cold, and Lebron was being forced to pass it.
It's up there with the '01 Sixers on the list of all time carries by one star player. I'm not sure either of those teams win 20 games w/o their star.
lol no. It's top heavy, for sure, but being a top seed gives you the advantage of facing "easier" opponents until the conference finals. It's not like MVP Rose and the Bulls, Boston Big 3 and a once-then scrappy Pacers were scrubs.
Jerry Stackhouse averaged 32 points on 35%Iverson won MVP that year shooting like 38% and playing 43 minutes a game.

For conference finals opponents, they were scrubs. The 2012 Celtics had a core of mid 30's guys that were all past there prime. Those Pacers teams were not that good either (Just look at Hibbert and Stephenson now). They had Paul George but even he wasn't at his peak yet. And the Bulls were a good defensive team with an MVP, but they didn't have enough offensive firepower or the experience to truly be considered a contender.
The East has been extremely weak, and that includes the conference finalists.
It really wasn't

Baron Davis was a beast.
Jazz still won that series tho... People tend to forget that Warriors team only got out of the first round.

Can we talk about how in the last 5 minutes of this game LeBron teleported back to Game 5 vs. Detroit in 2007?
Literally the only Cavs player to score for a 5 minute stretch
This.
I get that he's an all around player and thrives on making his teammates better. But I really wish he would have a very selfish season where he averages 40/game. Him being selfish throughout the entire finals this year may have gotten him to game 6?
This nigga's name is Gilbert lmao
Still never got over that
Gilbert
Lol
We live in a world... Where Javale McGee has a ring....
Let that sink in.
McGee deserved it. Dude's BBIQ maybe isn't that good but his athleticism has helped the Warriors throughout the season.
Zaza on the other hand...lol.
Curry
KD
Klay
Dray
Iggy
All going to the HOF.
LeBron never had a chance.
Zaza killed kawaii, he deserves the ring as much anyone else on the team.
