No, if he did that for much of his career the argument would just be even weaker. |

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> I don't get how anybody could look at these numbers (especially when he's showing no signs of slowing down) and not come to any other conclusion at this point. He's shattering records. There isn't even a debate to be had anymore and there certainly won't be by the time his career ends. It just consists of MJ backers repeatedly shouting "6-0" and "NBA Finals MVPs!!1!" as if that means anything at all. |

Nobody in their right mind would ever say such a thing. |
This ****ing guy wants to completely ignore Finals performances and championships, but pump his chest out about wins in an abysmal conference with two great teams and his own “Pippen’s” (Wade/Kyrie) and another All-Star (Bosh/Love).
You want to say that those are “team accomplishments”, yet you’re quick to give Lebron credit for taking down a 70 win team when his Pippen is the one that hit the big shot to do so, not him. It’s amazig how you only call out a “team accomplishment” argument when it doesn’t fit your narrative. |

But you’re right, it doesn’t mean anything at all . . . . . . :rolleyes: |

It’s a strawman because like I just said losing consistently in the 1st round would only make he argument weaker. Nobody is saying he was better off losing last week. We’re simply pointing out his Finals losses/performances because that’s when he’s actually had legitimate championship level competition in the playoffs over the last several years. Excuse us for not being impressed with an awful coference for almsot a decade. It’s not just the losses either. It’s the multiple 4th quarter dissapearances, the body language, the run and build a super team both times the going got tough, you know the same thing he’s going to do again after this year. I also don’t think it’s a good look when the guy goingg head to head with Lebron won Finals MVP not once, but twice. He was also clearly outshined by Durant last year, and Durant got the better of him in their one on one situations. You can manipulate stats all you want, but it’s the context of what they did as individuals in a team sport where the object is to win championships that matters the most. |
