Lets see Stephanie "Uncle Tom Chucker" Curry accomplish all this.
LeBron is not only better than you as a basketball player, but he makes more money, has more awards, and people are willing to die for him unlike your favorite player.
He has a lifetime contract with Nike. After the Cavs beat the Warriors in the finals, Stephen "fluke" Curry will be forgotten.
Let's see Curry the leader of his own team and taking them to the playoffs. He was hot shit before 2013 and even I was a more valuable NBA player than Curry
Cameron Murphy
Why would anyone want to die for LeBron
Nathaniel Roberts
>And getting to 6 finals is impressive. >leastern conference It's really not, 2007 was the only time when just getting there was an achievement for him.
Elijah Collins
The Warriors would've won about 50 games without Curry imo, about 20-25 games less
Probably the same drop for the Cavs, but maybe a little bit less imo, about 15-20 games less for the Cavs, so they probably would've went .500. Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving would've been allowed to step up and fill some of the whole that LeBron usually fills
Julian Lee
>And getting to 6 finals is impressive.
Leastern conference. Let's see him come out West and try to make it to even the WCF.
Sebastian Lopez
Curry was very good his entire career, he never had a bad season desu
Jonathan Bennett
Let's see Curry sweep the Hawks and Pistons, much better teams than the Blazers and Rockets
The Pistons and Hawks would be OKC tier in the West
Matthew Fisher
if he has 2 championships, i imagine he can make it to the WCF you fucking retard
Evan Evans
Nice b8
Leo Flores
Don't let their delusions fool you
This year the Eastern Conference was MUCH MUCH stronger than the Western Conference
Adam Mitchell
Then why did it have a losing record vs the West?
Benjamin Thompson
Yeah because what the Nets and Sixers and Knicks do are representative of the conference
Jack Long
>teams in the Eastern Conference aren't representative of the Easter Conference that's some next level mental gymnastics
Caleb Ross
8 seed in the West: 41-41 8 seed in the East: 44-38
5 seed in the East: 48-34 5 seed in the West: 44-38
LOL.
Jayden Bailey
I'll never understand brain dead Lebeta apologists.
Kevin Bennett
Explain that to Colin Cowherd, again another authority who knows more about sports than you do
How about Oscar Robertson? How about Tracy McGrady? How about Scottie Pippen? How about Charles Barkley?
Eat a dick, Canadian fuck
Leo Rivera
The Cavs would be #3 seed in the West. They'd be facing the 67 win Spurs in the 2nd round instead of the 48 win Cawks.
Zachary Peterson
Except the Cavs would have a MUCH better record playing shit like the Blazers and Wolves and Rockets all the time
Evan Cooper
nigga.... cavs were a sumpster fire without lebron
Aiden Reyes
The West is overall stronger as evidenced by their winning record against the East
John Gonzalez
How could anyone hate LeGoat?
Henry Rodriguez
But the Cavs wouldn't have had as good a record as the Warriors or Spurs. So they would still be the 3rd seed and face the Spurs in the second round.
Blake Rivera
LeBron's teams on average during his career: 53.3 wins Curry's team on average during his career: 47.2 wins
Yeah, tell me how Curry is better again?
Gavin Nelson
>only player to ever quit an NBA game because of an air conditioner >no (0) rings without Dwayne Wade to carry him >flopper >drama queen >crys to refs >shitty teammate
Leo Bennett
you do realize that up until cleveland happened for him kevin love spent his entire career winning 30 games in minnesota with ricky rubio
when lebron left cleveland with the exact same team the next season won like 15 games and lost something stupid like 27 straight at some point
he's obviously not as good now as he was back then but if he left them now they would have barely been a 7 or 8 seed
Dylan Mitchell
he shot bal gud
Grayson Brooks
>The Pistons and Hawks would be OKC tier in the West
Oliver Hall
Lebron has a hideous family
Camden Green
Jesus Christ you're retarded.
Carter Adams
>6 finals is impressive Even your boy lelbron disagrees with you. Everyone knows the real finals are the WCFs and it's been that way for a good while.
Josiah Gomez
You forgot >flashes his dick on camera during agame
Gavin Morris
>his children >his
um...
Daniel Cruz
Please take a moment to admire the great LeBron for the special talent he is. It never gets old looking at the King's history. So many accomplishments Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan will never achieve:
1. Only player in NBA history to quit because of a broken air conditioner. 2. Quit on his team the year after he promised them a championship. 3. Get dunked on by a high school kid then confiscate the tape. 4. Bail on the dunk contest 10 times. 5. Only able to win a ring with 2 superstars. 6. Only won his second ring because Ray Allen bailed him out. 7. Play on same team as his mom's boyfriend. 8. Average 1.8 pts in the 4th quarter of NBA Finals. 9. Lose not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 times in the Finals. 10. Host a national televised TV show to leave his team. 11. Go 2 for 18 in an NBA playoff game. 12. Get stuffed by a player under 6 feet. (Nate Robinson) 13. Only make the finals by playing in weaker Eastern Conference. 14. Choke 4 out of 5 finals games by dropping FG% by 18. 15. Only player to show his dick on camera in the Finals and lose.
Aaron Howard
I mean, they won 33 games the year before Love and LeBron arrived and I said they'd win about 37-42 games without LeBron this year. With Kyrie and Love I don't think that's a stretch Yeah, I do realize that, he was on a shit team. Also, The Cavs wouldn't have even made the playoffs without LeBron, I think they would've missed the cut by at least a couple of games, but it's possible they could've just gotten the 8th seed
Jacob Garcia
Some of these comments are pathetic. Lebron could be a top 10 of all time. He deserves crap for leaving to Miami to win championships and also not being very clutch. Other than that he's one of the best players ever. Calling Curry a fluke is fucking retarded too. Just stfu and enjoy the game or don't watch its that simple. Hating on players that are regarded as the best in the world just makes you look bitter or retarded.
Aaron Torres
>he doesn't have a unianmous MVP
Jej
John King
still the best player in the league.
Aaron Reed

Owen Lewis
He doesn't need to Larry bird haven't accomplished some of that and the out of shape white guy with a broken back is still considered better
Hudson King
You forgot shoot less than 70 % from the free throw line in a finals series
Shoot more times than you have points, shoot 20% from three and miss all your free throws in the same playoff game
Jason Garcia

People need to stop comparing Lebron to MJ. The closest player to MJ is Kobe and he wasn't on MJ's level. Is Lebron better than Kobe? That is the debatable question.

Henry Gomez
The Warriors are repeating this year and LeBeta will go to Boston to retire.
Cap it.
Jeremiah Hughes
He could only win a title with a fake team he created with the other best players in the league.
If he doesn't win any with Cleveland he'll go down as a monumental disappointment.

Lebeta is on the wrong side of 30 and has lost some of his athleticism already. He still doesn't have a consistent jump shot either. I'd probably take Anthony Davis over anybody else right now.
Brandon Ramirez
Bump shot.
Mason Cooper
I'm so saving this pic.
Asher Green
Absolutely not. This year, the Eastern Conference certainly improved and a couple teams (see: Pelicans and Rockets) went to shit in the West. But the conferences are still night and day when it comes down to it, if anything because the west has 4 of the 5 best teams in the league. The Clippers were a very dangerous club this season all the way up until CP3 got hurt and people forget them already.
David Bennett
The playoffs are total shite, kang.

Not him but the first sentence is correct, Rockets are utter trash compared even to Detroit.

huh? they both have 2 FMVPS. surely you wouldn't count a title that someone else was the MVP for, only a desperate, pathetic know-nothing would do such a thing. unless you also think Pipper > Kobe because 6>5??

Jeremiah Bell
LeBron will get at least one for the land making it 3 FMVPs which is >>>>>> 2 + any amount of titles while getting carried by someone higher up in the GOAT rankings
Ian Parker
Come back when he does then. I'm not going to discuss hypotheticals.
Jason Allen
>coming out the east >2 years Rose was Injured >one year KG was hurt for Boston >Atlanta was the best team in the east 1 year
The east is insanely weak, let's all be honest about this. Who exactly has Lebron have to go through to make it to the finals? Injuries teams and a bunch of mediocre overachieving teams. There is a reason he is 2-4 in the finals (a Allen 3 from being 1-5) because the west is simply stronger.
Jason Butler
>Couldn't win without going to Miami >Still win only two titles >Get BTFO in his two Miami losses
Liam Wood
2 of those teams were the Hawks last year, and the Bulls minus D rose.....just sayian.
Nathan Turner
>John wall is the best player in the east once LeBron leaves
Feels bad man 1
Brandon Torres
Someone explain why the Ray Allen 3 is always brought up for LeBron but Kobe being bailed out by teammates is always ignored. 3 titles basically hinged on his teammates following up his crunchtime misses.
Horry's 3 after Kobe misses in game 4, Lakers would have been down 3-1
