Nobody says that
THE FUCK?
Read sports media the last few days. They are all making excuses for LeBeta
Stats vs. 'Ships is an argument as old as sports itself, why is this just a problem to you now?
Implying
usually if a player gets 2 chips in any sport, its considered enough to solidify them as great, if they have a great career.
Lebron already has 2 chips and a great career, therefore to some people it doesn't matter if he gets more.
peyton manning has 2 and he is regarded as one of the biggest chokers of all time
there are tons of no-name bench players with 2 chips you dip
>it doesn't matter if he gets more
No one would say this if Lebron was 6-0.
That's just pathetic
It's just excuses, LeBron is going to apart of the top two biggest lopsided finals losses in NBA history but the talking heads probably won't even mention that
LeBron had a shot to get 7 and become the literal basketball GOAT, possibly goat of any sport by surpassing MJ. Your argument is therefore invalid
He also put on the best finals performance in history last year over 6 games.
>user in charge of reading a box score or even scores
>it doesn't matter as long as you try your best
The last spurs series currently has the biggest point differential, they took one game but it barely made a dent since the spurs spanked them in the last three
Oh yeah, that's right. My bad.
>if they have a great career
Some greats didn't have the teams to win it all. Lebron has no excuse, though
He gets scrutiny for two distinct reasons:
1. He called himself the Chosen One prior to doing anything in the league. Called himself the best of all time (even tattooed it).
2. He took the past of least resistance every chance he could
>hid in the east
>ran to a loaded miami team
>team gets injured, runs back to a team with 3 straight #1 draft picks
I would have no problem with the second, if he hadn't done the first. Because at least at that point, it would be a reasonable assessment to say he is a great top 15 player all time, and that would be his general comparison. Instead, he set the precedent of being the greatest, and as such every bit of scrutiny he gets for not being the best is his own doing
agreed.
>stacked Heat teams
>hand-picked Cavs teams
>still finds ways to blame talent around him
if you are going to be considered top 10, top 5 all-time they definitely matter
Cavs in 6
