That leaves out a lot of context like Shaq for example, Shaq was already over the hill when LeBron got him. Melo as well was already a scrub. Jordan only played with 4 but they were there in their prime and for much of his 6 peat. In fact MJ never got anywhere without Pippen. At the end of the day MJ only played for like 12-15 years, it's his fault cuz he only played a short time. OTH you are somehow making it Lebron's fault he been playing for 20+ years. Ever heard of performance punish? That's what everyone is doing to diminish his legacy, somehow it's his fault for playing so many years at an all NBA level and making it to all those finals appearances. Instead, he should have retired and taken breaks and get bounced multiple times in the firdt or second round like MJ. One of the most common arguments MJ stans use is "MJ is 6-0 and LeBron is 4-6" and whenever somebody posts that I know that dude is dumb AF. Imagine arguing it better to lose in the first round than in the finals lmao. If anything this should show you the mythos on MJ and Steph is built on a 1 hit wonder, that X year run he had with a very tight group of guys. OTH LeBron is consistent, has been able to get success with a much varied group of guys with different settings, teams and situations. You can't deny his greatness cuz he won in every which way. What has MJ done when he wasn't teammates with Pippen and Phil Jackson? Has Steph even made the playoffs without Klay and Dray? That's not something you can say about LeBron, his legacy is his own. This photo makes it seem like LeBron has 20 dudes on his team ganging on MJ and Steph, when in reality it shows Lebron's consistency and longevity which ecplises everyone else. There's like 2 generations between Wade, Love and AD and the only constant is Bron. People always love to turn everything on its head, but if you actually analyze things without any bias you will understand it's always harder to win a ring with a new environment and new teammates instead of running it back with the same group of guys and then y'all become scrubs at the same time.
The advantage was to be expected because the Lakers were the best team at drawing shooting fouls and the best at avoiding them. They were historically great, in fact. All that really means is that the Lakers needed and got BS calls all season and into the playoffs. They achieved that historic free-throw difference despite their two stars missing around 20 games each and despite starting 2 and 10. Somehow even Hillbilly Kobe drew fouls at the rate of the best foul drawers in the NBA, too.
Yes. That's another important point. The altitude thing makes a BIG difference. They won't be playing in the bubble like before.
Yea. I don't expect The Nuggets to lose at home this playoffs Barring something crazy Lakers better bring some Oxygen Rocket River
you claim the worrierz got VERY favorable officiating, so show us just how friendly the whistle was for them
and in re-watching what exactly should i look for to support your claim of VERY favorable officiating
Green constantly hacking and not getting called. If you’re not familiar at all with the warriors and how the refs treat them its all good man. This is a time for celebration.
right. so in game 1 of this series when fakers got 29 FT attempts and worrierz got 6, tha zebras were favoring the worrierz VERY much or in game 2 when the FTs were even and worrierz won by 27 game 3… 37-17 game 4… 20-12 game 5… even again and surprize surprize worrierz won! game 6… 42-14 lol so in the final analysis, over the course of six games the worrier favoring zebras showered the worrierz with a whopping 80 FT attempts to only 160 for the fakers who were VERY unfavored so much thank you for helping us all finally see the light!
Lol you’re funny dude, I’m sorry your warriors got hosed as they always do! Maybe someday they will get a fair whistle. I’m still not over how badly they got hosed in game 7 of the 2018 wcf when they only got 14 free throws to the rockets 22. Scott foster just killing them and helping the rockets.
i despise worriers and fakers equally but saying b!tch team 1 with exactly half the FT attempts of b!tch team 2 over a six game span got "VERY favorable officiating" -- is just plain stupid
Do you think the warriors got hosed against the rockets in 2018? Rockets shot way more free throws that series
Just look at game 7, 22-14. Rockets shot over 50% more! Those poor warriors with scott foster screwing them
1. I can’t believe someone said Wade was better than LeBron during any season in Miami. 2. I can’t believe anyone is complaining about a team that keeps shooting jumpers not getting FTs.
