What is Sup Forums going to do now that the narrative according to which LeBron is a top-5 all time great has been exposed as the biggest fraud in the history of sports?

Some people are already arguing that the Warriors' superiority is a testament to LeBron's greatness.

The warriors only won because they were a more talented, better coached team. If they weren't so good, then the cavs would have won.

How else can they excuse yet another failure on the biggest stage. Having to come with excuses for him continually must get tiring though. It's become laughable.

Its actually this ahahahahaha literally listening to lebronsexuals on ESPN right now saying this exact same thing

LeBron had to go up against 5 hofers, the best 6th and 7th man of all time, the best dietician and mascot in world sport, an organization bankrolled by the illuminati, and new rules that make memechucks worth 8 pts. What's your excuse.

Never forget that he did all that while being team mates with the lisa simpson of basketball and the nephew of the beach boys

So wait..let me get this absolutely straight

Lebron makes the final 8 times, which is 2 more times than mj...yet he comes out with THREE LESS rings?

Wtf lol. Never mention him in the same breath as Mike again.

how many of your top 5 all time greats beat a 73 win team with one of its best players having a concussion? what's that you say? zero? none of them did? only lebron?

NVM that suspension, NBA jewing that series and a Curry who was about 60 percent helping save his ass.

Divine dubs of truth

Funny how Curry was fine until they lost. Love played the series with a concussion and missed an entire game, tons of minutes and was hampered by it the whole series. No excuses.

>averaging triple double
>good FG% for the most part

I don't like Lebron and I'm glad he lost, but the guy is definitely top 5

>Funny how Curry was fine until they lost

literally the case for all injured players on any team during a playoff run. In every sport.

Lance Armstrong is the biggest fraud in sports history.

I've always seen him as the second best small forward being bird so nothing changes. I expected this level from him (though the stat padding is egregious)

>Implying goat players don't play thru non disclosed injuries in the post season
Nobody gave a fuck that love sat out because he's a trash boipucci.

ESPN is in full-on spin mode, if that helps.

Love plays like shit no matter what his health is. Curry was the league MVP and a pretty important part of his team's offense.

spam 3-5 all summer like they were planning

At least Around the Horn didn't let him off the hook with the superteam shit.

>watching the game last night
>Warriors are basically closing it
>everytime Cavs get close, Love bricks and they go down by 10 again
>even as it's closing Lebron is still getting to the rim at will
>spinning in dunking over people's 4 defender's heads
>just keeps doing it the entire 4th quarter
they probably just stopped guarding him, too. no point anymore with all those Love bricks.
Kevin Love, jesus christ, Warriors probably laughing all the way to the bank, holding Love's jersey.

Daily reminder lebron was the one being trading Wiggins for love

Lebron joins the Rockets with CP3 and then everyone starts crying again

I'm still laughing at this post.

Never change, Australia.

If the sky wasn't so blue, it wouldn't be blue.

And yet he's the only fucking guy on the cavs that can half-reliably defend KD.

That's why they got fucking smoked game 5, because the moron fouled twice in the first 2 minutes of the game and basically couldn't play anymore.

I mean I never argeed when people said he was the GOAT, but Lebron is pretty fucking good

I hated him his first 4-5 years in the league, but over time I've really enjoyed watching him play.

>lebron lost to the best team with the best players so that means he is the best player

really jumping through some hoops ayy faggots?

>have to make a team better than prime bulls to take down one man
>this means LeBron is bad

So are you saying Durant avgs 60 without live playing the series?

I mean they do currently have the last 2 mvps in their prime lol (Suns Fan Here)

I wonder if espn is already chucking out some pr damage control for lelbon?

>Watch First Take today
>White guy who isn't Skeeup arguing that Lebron is still the GOAT because the Warriors had to get Kevin Durant to beat him

Game 4 was an anomoly of a record breaking offensive half at home with garbage officiating.

That wasn't Lebron being Lebron, that was a streaky team coasting off of their superstar and the energy of playing a home game.

Durant pts came easy as hell. If you've ever actually played ball before you would already know that playing with great teammates makes everything come easier and in this case hes playing with 3 other top 15 players. They would have probably beat this cavs team in 6 close/competitive games without KD imo.

The only way to beat GS is to either give the cavs Kawhi Leonard for free or Clone Lebron & put him at power forward

Just a weak move, you cant defend the move he made.

What's the excuse for the four other times he was beat?

Well, since you insist on hearing this again:
>played with scrubs and got shut down by a solid team
>full-blown choke
>teammates were shut down
>hand-picked teammates were injured/were shut down

I love how people think that explaining a failure somehow justifies the failure.

Lebron habitually fails in the finals. Simply explaining the process by which he fails doesn't help anything, it just underscores how ass ravaged he and his fans are.

Truth be told? Kevin had a chance. He just didn't want to take those nutrients he normally gets out of sucking my cock. Lebron has been known to deny then. He see's himself as a bit of a bull in the cuckolding scence.

But I'm a real bull. And I fuck a lot of bitches. Lebron? K love? They need a real man fucking their man in their life.

This is true.

1 person doesn't make a team.

Super Teams that lost with LelBon (int'l Competition)

2004 Olympics (Greece)
lelbon, iverson, melo, dwade, duncan

2006 FIBA Championship (Japan)
lelbon, dwade, bosh, chris paul, melo, dwight howard, iso joe

The mental gymnastics are amazing

If lelbon joins a western conference team, he wouldnt even reach the finals anymore.

>implyingrigged.info/wiki/2013_Sup Forums_Winter_Cup

Sup Forums is the biggest fraud in sports history.

This due was a yankees fan for years and then suddenly went all muh hometown

I have no respect for this fake ass roided out choke artist

fact: if kevin durant didnt join the GSW this would have been a good series

also if he didnt join good chance the cavs could have won the series

whether you hate lebron or not all we need to take away from this is fuck kevin durant

/thread

you mad bro

cant blame KD for getting that ring

LeBron is allowed to travel and to make offensive faults.Without Silverball he would be a 15 points kind of player

>Durant pts came easy as hell
They were mostly contested long midrange/three pointers.LeBrick has never been able to defend him.Even when he played in a shit team like OKC

Without Silverball he would be a rich man's Dominique Wilkins. Still good, a top 5 sf, but not up for goat discussions

how has he been exposed as the biggest fraud in sports?

he was great in the finals - his 7th straight time there - and with no other all-nba players on his team, unlike the warriors who were loaded with several.

the narrative for Lebron is the same. he'll be in the finals again next year, for the 8th straight time, and it's still wow material.

you ask for why he failed then bitch about it not being sufficient, what do you want?

everyone loses at some point or another, jordan lost before his first 3 peat, and he lost to shaq's magic before the second one. duncan lost, kobe lost, everyone loses.

>2006 FIBA Championship (Japan)
>lelbon, dwade, bosh, chris paul, melo, dwight howard, iso joe
holy shit that's fucking embarrassing if true

because hes a statpadding choke artist

>Some people are already arguing that the Warriors' superiority is a testament to LeBron's greatness.

It IS a testament to LeBron's greatness that the two best players in the West, and the last two NBA MVPs (Curry and Durant), had to team up to defeat LeBron James in he NBA Finals. That is a fact now, actually.

I don't see how that hurts LeBron's reputation. The Warriors have the last 2 NBA MVPs and 3 All-NBA players. The Cavs have LeBron and no other All-NBA players.

One guy by himself can only do so much. Just ask Steph Curry or Kevin Durant.

how many points did le closer man get in the 4th game 5? how many times did the cavs just shit the bed and lose leads when lebron was on the bench?

did you even watch the series? he had to play damn near the whole game just to keep it close

>More conference final wins than Jordan
>There's a 30 point plus/minus swing when he's off the court, but they still go to 5 games against an arguably top 5 team
Meh.

choke artists don't have 3 championship MVP awards.

lebron has been accused of statpadding since he was 17 years old. now, as a 4 time NBA MVP, and 3 time champion, he leads league history in all sorts of stats that were dominated by legends like michael jordan and magic johnson. that's not statpadding - that's greatness.

I kekd

>in other news, North Korea proves it's the best county in the world by saying "If we can still be a country without any food, all you other countries with food must really suck"

this damage control

enjoy your sitting at home while the Dubs celebrate

2014 NBA MVP: Kevin Durant
2015 NBA MVP: Steph Curry
2016 NBA MVP: Steph Curry

All-NBA players on the Golden State Warriors from 2015 to 2017: Kevin Durant, Steph Curry, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson

All-NBA players on the Cleveland Cavaliers from 2015 to 2017: LeBron James

End of story.

and Cleveland celebrated last summer.

but who is going to celebrate next summer? that's the question.

it will probably be lebron.

lol u sure trolled us

>enjoy your sitting at home while the Dubs celebrate
And you'll be doing differently?

LeBroid babbys on full suicide watch

nope. secure. have been secure since 2012.

>picks his team, essentially the GM
>goes over the cap by a lot
>"well its not his fault he lost, the team let him down"

and how did his team not let him down?

Only chance Lebron has at redemption is if he leaves town for San Antonio so Kawhi can bail him out

btfo xD

Continue my life because I'm not a pathetic cuck that watches apehoop

no, you're a pathetic cuck that wastes his time discussing shit that doesn't interest him to troll.

get a life!!!

>Only chance Lebron has at redemption is if he leaves town for San Antonio so Kawhi can bail him out

The interesting thing about this statement is that if LeBron ever played with a prime Kawhi Leonard then that would be the equivalent of Michael Jordan playing with Scottie Pippen.

In other words, Lebron has never played with a player who could make 1st team All-NBA and 1st team All-Defensive like he did.

But Jordan had that luxury with Pippen. Jordan enjoyed having a teammate that was not only a 1st team All-NBA player, and not only a 1st team All-Defensive player, but was also a legitmate candidate for NBA MVP when MJ was off playing baseball.

This is not a small issue. Pippen was an incredible player in his own right.

But LeBron James was left to navigate MVPs and championships without that amount of help. Irving and Love regularly get benched for entire quarters because their defense sucks. That is something that Michael Jordan never had to deal with, and if we're talking about the 1995-96 Bulls then we could probably argue that Michael Jordan was the 3RD best defender on his team AFTER Pippen and Rodman.

LeBron never had that luxury.

>The Cavs have LeBron and no other All-NBA players
Why do LeTravel dick riders need to discredit Kyrie and Love all the time?

kyrie and love are trash without lebron, take away any of the fantastic four on gsw and they'd atleast ATLEAST make the conf finals in the WEST.

Lebron is a fraud but we already knew that in 2011.

>Why do LeTravel dick riders need to discredit Kyrie and Love all the time?

steph curry and kevin durant both managed to make 2nd team ALL-NBA even under unusual circumstances... so why shouldn't we expect Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love to AT LEAST make ALL-NBA 3RD TEAM?

they couldn't even manage that.

let's face it... kyrie and love aren't that type of player. they're just not consistent enough. plain and simple.

Are you ignoring the fact that Wade was the second best player in the league in 2011 and probably the best blocking guard of all time?

>kyrie and love are trash without lebron
Both all stars before joining the Cavs
>take away any of the fantastic four on gsw and they'd atleast ATLEAST make the conf finals in the WEST
Cleveland would still win in the East without LeBrick
>Giving regular season awards to players that have missed +10 games of the regular season and have been injured through big chunks on it
You are a massive brainlet user

D.Wade in 2011 was still NOT a 1st team All-NBA and 1st team All-Defensive player like Scottie Pippen was in the mid 90s.

The idea that Wade "was the second best player in the league in 2011" was not unanimous. And Wade was never selected as an 1st Team All-NBA player while he was playing with LeBron.

>all star meme
how did kyrie do before lebron got there? what's their record this year when lebron isn't playing?

>cavs win the east without lebron
LOL

durant missed alot of games you casual nigger

>The idea that Wade "was the second best player in the league in 2011" was not unanimous.
Only Kobrick bandwagoners thought other wise.
>And Wade was never selected as an 1st Team All-NBA player while he was playing with LeBron.
Because LeBron is like a blackwhole that swallows all the talent around him.You could put Kareem-Duncan-LeBron-Jordan- Magic and Kareem,Dunca,Jordan and Magic would look like absolute garbage as LeBron would just gorillaball his way to the basket or throw a brick to a teamate to shoot a contested 3.All LeBrick's teams play the same way for a reason

He missed 9.Love missed 30
>how did kyrie do before lebron got there? what's their record this year when lebron isn't playing?
Pretty well for the team that he had.Before LeBrick came most of the current Cavs core wasn't there
>LOL
It is a fact.Love would be the franchise players of the Celtics ffs

>Cleveland would still win in the East without LeBrick
not even close lol theyre 5-22 or something when he sits out since coming back

Kevin Love is a bit overrated, Kyrie Irving is probably the most overrated player in the league. James has taken teams that have been wildly overrated in perception to the Finals. Hell already revisionist history forgets he was an underdog against the Thunder, people act like that was a gimme series in retrospect.

Love and Irving combined had played in as many games as everyone in this thread before James.

>as LeBron would just gorillaball his way to the basket

hilarious. lebron has never been accused of that before now. usually he's accused of being too unselfish.

>All LeBrick's teams play the same way for a reason

the 2010 Cavs and 2017 Cavs play nothing alike. you would've never seen lebron setting high screens like a big man in 2010 like we've seen him do in 2012-17.

lebron's off ball cutting action... you didn't see that in 2008, 2010 either. so you're just wrong.

>he missed 9
want to lie some more?

>franchise on celtics
LOL

>not even close lol theyre 5-22 or something when he sits out since coming back
Because the cavs don't have any coach and any tactics outside of
>Pass it to LeBron and let his gorillaball and Silverball get the other team into foul trouble
If the team developed with an actual coach they would cruise through the east

So the east is supposedly a minor league compared to the west and "lol james has a guaranteed berth in the finals every year" but even in kyries third year a supposed great franchise player still went 33-49 and couldn't come close to the playoffs

>hilarious. lebron has never been accused of that before now. usually he's accused of being too unselfish.
Of course.He throws a brick to his teamates once he sees his gorilla penetration goes nowhere which forces his teamates to shoot contested 3's.He looks unselfish because he can't always get away with 4 offensive faults+a travel in every play

objective opinion here

he's the best of his era

>but even in kyries third year a supposed great franchise player still went 33-49 and couldn't come close to the playoffs
The Cavs current core came with LeBrick you fucking monkey

Well Love is at best a borderline top 25 player and irving is a top 50 player. Horrendous defense(possibly the worst defensive guard in the league), can't run an offense, poor shot selection, great in iso and can get streaky. He ain't that good.

are you going to address? Durant misses 20 whole games and he made it, why aren't kyrie and love there?

>Well Love is at best a borderline top 25 player and irving is a top 50 player. Horrendous defense(possibly the worst defensive guard in the league), can't run an offense, poor shot selection, great in iso and can get streaky. He ain't that good.
Can you name those 25 and 50 players? The +/- is a meme stat btw

hope you enjoyed the (You)'s, baka

Grow a brain brainlet

I am waiting for those 25 and 50 players lad
