LeBron James has been favored to win the Finals 2 out of 6 times

[MVike28]

So we're just ignoring all context here? Just ignoring everything but the result?

he's a mental midget.

nikka really broke down every series into 3 or 4 words

Holy shyt the hot takes are on FIRE

it was a summary breh, no need to be gay about it.

 

[Rick Roller 10]

So it's cool to give the "best player in the league" cause his team wasn't the best

 

[OG Talk]

All the people saying they expect LeBron to win this year will be calling Steph a choker if it happens...

 

[Newzz]

Who's talking about excuses?

I'm no LeBron stan, but the Warriors will probably win and if they do it's because they're the better team not because of what LeBron does or doesn't do.

That would be obvious, now wouldn't it?


Anybody that wins a series between 2 healthy teams is obviously the better team...come on breh


You cant say the Cavs ARENT better than the Warriors if the Cavs beat a healthy Warriors team in the NBA Finals....and that's why I say get them odds outta here

This site didn't exist when the Bills were losing 4 straight.

And there aren't many players that demand the attention of LBJ for this to even be a discussion.

You're acting as if Wilt, Jerry West and Jim Kelly are current topics in sports.

NOBODY has ever used whether ANY player was the underdog or not to justify losses. Not Kobe stans, Duncan stans, Shaq stans, McGrady stans, Iverson stans, Carmelo stans, Curry stans, Durant stans, etc


The only reason this is being used now is a pre-prepared tool for LeBron and it's weak.


Let him play and either win or lose. But dont go bringing up betting odds to justify someone losing again

 

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

i'm not ignoring anything just stating what's truth.

I don't think you realize that basketball is a team sport.

All the people saying they expect LeBron to win this year will be calling Steph a choker if it happens...

This a thousand times. The media by and large, and especially this site won't be giving any credit to whoever wins. It'll just be "LeBron/Curry choked it away" with complete disregard for what actually happens over the course of the series, same as last year

lol how many times have we blamed kobe for the lakers losing, tmac, d wade etc... don't play stupid.

the nba is a superstar game, they get the credit if they win nad blame when they lose.

Just how it is.

It's not about the odds . Just look at it as he's had the worst team. You can throw the odds out and just look at the squads on the court

 

[Propaganda]

@Newzz 's straight up crusade against lebron lately. he's trying so hard...putting in that vintage kobe stan effort.

 

[Long Live The Mamba]

@Newzz

 

[Originalman]

Give Dirk props tho, we cant say they didnt earn that. He played outta his mind. People forget that Mavs squad swept the defending champs Lakers.

Not just Dirk but Jason Terry, Chandler and the little Puerto Rican all played out of their mind.

Actually Terry was hotter than Dirk in the finals.

Im not crusading against LeBron....I like LeBron and think at worst he's #2 in the L.


Im crusading against the people who are bringing up all sorts of excuses for him before any excuses are even needed


Preemptive excuses?


LeBron has to win a ring. If he loses, oh well...he can still get back there next year & his stans are gonna have to deal with all the ing that will be going on like every other Stanbase has.


If he wins, and it's gonna look great on his resume beating the GOAT regular season team with the MVP, DPOY, and COY on the sideline

 

[threattonature]

But that's bullshyt and we all know it. Lebron was amazing for most of that 4th quarter but people act like he was stinking up the joint and owes that ring to Ray.

Also can't ignore that Lebron had some horrible turnovers late in that game and some bad misses to the point poeple were talking about Lebron choked the game away at the end before that miracle comeback. With that said it is crazy to try not to give Lebron credit for that title. Every great has had someone else hit some big shots in clutch situations.

 

[threattonature]

It's not about the odds . Just look at it as he's had the worst team. You can throw the odds out and just look at the squads on the court

What were the exact odds though. Big difference between being +105 underdog compared to a +300 underdog. The +105 is considered basically playing an equal team while the latter is a true underdog.

 

[Young Fab]

The funny thing about these Finals is Lebron who isn't favored at all if he loses will be called "choker" and everything under the sun but if Steph who is HEAVILY favored loses will have every excuse in the book thrown at his feet
