true true.. he was a bit of a narcissist but all these nba players are ... at least he's not an assh@le like Jordan or Kobe though
meh You could as well title it Lebron wins again but Choking and Winning is part of the NBA and the life of a superstar I guess
Lebron wasn't even close to the problem, here. Hard to win when your number 2 and 3 were so awfully inefficient.
Lebron will always have excuses for him. 2-5 b****es It's coming soon. Get in line please "Omg omg OMG they killed everyone on the east but in the finals he didn't get enough help!!!!" Will be something lame like that.
Dude Lebron is a 1st ballot Hall of Famer and has been a stud in the NBA since he was 18. This will be 6 straight appearances in the Finals. The man is a boss, period.
Guess it's fair to say it can go both ways. If in the west he probably makes it to about half of those finals? Maybe 1-2? Idk. Still if you get to the finals you must win like the other greats. MJ 6-0 Kobe 5-2 Duncan 5-1 Lebron 2-5 (soon to be) Numbers are numbers. Anytime Lebron loses in the finals his team sucks. Anytime he wins he's the best ever.
Teams win championships, not individual players. James is great enough that legit title contenders can be built around him, but no player has ever been good enough that his presence assures championships. IMO, the only championship that he let get away that could be termed a "choke" was the 2011 Finals against Dallas. In Cleveland, every Finals he's reached, he's been significantly out-gunned on a team basis. On the Heat, he won two titles against very talented teams and lost one to a great Spurs team (and the aforementioned Dallas loss, which definitely wasn't his finest hour). Outside of that Dallas loss, I don't think replacing James with Michael Jordan would have changed the result.
I see your list but every player on it besides LeBron played with a Hall of Fame coach. MJ &Kobe had the great Phil Jackson. When they didn't, they lost in the playoffs. Kobe damn near got traded. Duncan had the great Greg Popovich. What Hall of Fame coach has LeBron ever played for?
He chose to go to Miami to play under Spol. He chose to come back to Cleveland to play for some Russian that has never coached before in the NBA. Phil and Pop were not hall of fame coaches before they got MJ and Duncan. How many rings did Phil have before MJ? Zero How many rings did Pop have before Duncan? Zero
