We'll see if the Warriors recover from the end of the season stretch of stinkers.

Absolutely. Well first he won the game which is also the most important part. No one gives a shit what you do when you lose. Second he was just coming off a triple OT game where he played 55 minutes. Their stat line was pretty much similar with MJ taking 5 more shots and Lebron having 4 more assists.

At the end of the day, when the going got tough, he went and joined a 73 win team. He doesn’t have it every night, nor does he need to, he has a historically good supporting cast.

It’s a clue, he’s joining the Nuggets or Jazz.

Cool. Now ask him to do that every single game or else he sucks. Also have him do that every game with LeBron’s team and not the best team in the league that doesn’t need him.

It would be fun to watch for 1 season just to see the domination. It would definitely be god mode.

Like I've said 500 times...LeBron chose his team, his coach, and his teammates. He chose to be burdened. So why would I feel sorry for him?

And he joined that 73 win team and is on the verge of 2 straight finals mvp. Seems like a great choice to me. Especially since he gave up money to do that.

Lmao you don't think he can do that every single night if he wanted? He's a ****ing 4 time scoring champ. He's the best scorer the league. He just chose to go to a team where there are other scorers and where everybody is a team player....for less money.

And he chose to go to a good team. LeBron chose to go to supposedly shitty team. I'm supposed to get mad at him for making a good choice and praise LeBron for choosing foolishly? I'm supposed to be mad because he values winning over all?

Lebron is like a Texas Tech QB. The position he plays in that Iso system they use is going to allow him to rack up a lot of stats.

Exactly. But the media keeps making excuses for him.

And considering what he was up against (the best team ever created) and the scrubs he had around him (absolute trash, Jeff Green or George Hill is maybe their 3rd best player), I'll put it right there with any other game.

LeBron built the team. It is his fault for the mediocrity.

No KD can’t do it every game as proven in his last game with OKC. And no shit LeBron is a shitty general manager.

KD has never carried teams like LeBron. Not even close.

He is no Dirk for sure

Kobe on Lebron's teammates

"It seems like he has some good talent to me. He’s got (Kyle) Korver who’s a great shooter, J.R. Smith who has always been a solid player — we focus on his one mistake and that tends to overshadow all the things he’s done to help them win a championship before — you’ve got Kevin Love, who was an All-Star and an Olympian; Rodney Hood, who was a 17-point scorer in the Western Conference; you’ve got Tristan (Thompson) who is back to playing like he played a few years ago. He’s got some workable pieces there. I don’t understand how, in order to talk about how great LeBron is we need to [expletive] on everybody else. That’s not O.K. Those guys have talent. I don’t buy this whole thing that he’s playing with a bunch of garbage."

Because LeBron fans need excuses.
