he topped out in his 2nd year in the league when he was averaging 30 8 and 8. so his age doesn't matter. what has he gotten better at? shooting, nope, freethrows, nope. he is the shaq of guards
stockton didn't choke. it was all malone. stockton played big all the time. i still hate that little **** for hitting that 3 over us. but i find it hard to call stockton a choker. but i remember malone airballing turnarounds in the finals over rodman and missing freethrows. even getting the ball stolen at the end by jordan. malone was about as big of a choker as there was
Of course it's Malone. He missed FT when it mattered. And he was stolen by Jordan in final seconds or they'd have a game 7 at home.
Choking = underperform, quitting = didn't try to perform. Since when quitting is better than choking? Are LeQuitter fans for real?
He didn't average 30/8/8 his second year in the league. His career high in assists came this past season. His best rebounding season was his fifth season. His best scoring season was in his third season, but he wasn't scoring as efficiently as he has been the last two seasons.
A number of people on this BBS have already said for them it's about the show and not where he went. I disagree about the source of the hate. I really think it's about Lebron himself and has nothing to do with 'the decision' or the fact that he went to Miami. Those facts have just given an excuse to the fans that hated him already because they don't like the dancing or the childish playing that he's been doing for years (or because they don't like the fact that he's a better individual performer than certain other players in the league).
No one is calling him a quitter for what he did then but he definitely quit in the pivotal moments of the elimination game in Game 6 vs Boston and Game 5 at HOME. Clearly quit
