So he's been favored to win 2, he lost 1 he was favored in, but won the other. That's pretty fair. Dude has made the Finals against some relatively incredible teams. I think 2/6 is bad but you can excuse 3 of those losses. 2/7 basically puts him Jerry West category, so hopefully he wins this one

Why is 2007 an Excuse? Not like Cle was some 7th seeded team that snuck in, they were 2nd in the conference and just beat Detroit. No excuses come finals.
breh, you can look at how the rosters match up and answer your own question. Ain't a single player in the history of the NBA better than that SAS trio by themselves, especially when they were that "young".

So 21 year old LeBron and boobie gibson were supposed to beat 3x champion duncan and co? :usure:
This is a Kobe Stan you're arguing with. Keep in mind they find it miraculous and all on Kobe when Shaq was carrying him to titles, yet when LeBron is scoring 45 on the road in game 7 or averaging 39/8/8 on a series on high efficiency in their minds it's choking. Complete brainwashing on their end. It's really sad to observe.

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.
+180 each of the last 3 years. Upsets on that order are pretty rare for the NBA finals.

THE QUESTION IS.....WHY HAS HE BEEN FAVORED ONLY TWICE? PLAYING ON SUPERTEAMS.......THINK ABOUT IT.


WOULD IT BE THE SAME FOR MAGIC....KOBE.......MJ.......THINK LONG N HARD BRUH.
Seeing as how Magic played on 1 of the 2 good teams in that entire era, Jordan played expansion teams, and the Lakers always had their teams severely more stacked than anyone coming out the East, yeah it took me a long hard time to think of a response :heh:

Cle is always favored to win the title before the season begins but that doesnt matter?

Also someone should have told the Thunder that they were not favored so they wouldnt have to bother playing so hard and coming within a hair of beating GS...

So if Oklahoma can beat GSW shouldnt LeBeta be able to?

Bron stans are the worst..
