Kobe Stans must think Lebron is far and away the greatest player in history.
27 points, 19 rebounds, and 10 assists in a game where he quit???
Lebron drew the complete focus of the Celtic defense. He shut down Paul Pierce on the other end. And he still got nearly 30 points, nearly 20 rebounds, AND got a triple-double?
How the fukk do you do that while quitting? How the fukk do you get nearly 30 points, 20 rebounds, and 10 assists without even trying?
And in Game 5, Mike Brown switched Lebron onto Rondo, who had been completely destroying the Cavs. Lebron chased Rondo all over the court and held Rondo to ZERO points in the entire first half. Yet the Cavs were still losing because PP went off for the first time without Lebron to guard him, and was that much fresher to help shut down a tired Lebron on the other end.
Rondo, Ray, Garnett, and the Celtic role players were destroying the Cavs, and Mike Brown shouldn't even have been an NBA coach. And yet Lebron alone kept a bunch of bench players in a series for 6 games against a team that went to game 7 in the NBA Finals that year.
Perkins doesn't get hurt, and the Lakers (with the best coach in the league and 2 of the 5 best big men) go down just like the Cavs did.
But somehow, it's all "Lebron quit". Right.
