In what universe do the 2012, 2013, 2016, and 2020 playoff runs make for bad television?
2012 had the Bosh injury, Wade limping, the Heat going down the Pacers then Bron clawing them back with a 40-18-9 game, going down 3-2 to the Celtics with his entire legacy on the line and then saving it with the 45-15-5 game that was among the greatest playoff performances of all time, and then beating the Durant-Westbrook-Harden Thunder in the Finals.
2013 had them going down 3-2 to the Duncan-TP-Ginobli-Kawhi Spurs and being down 10 to start the 4th quarter of Game 6 until Bron's 19-point fourth happened, being down 5 with 23 seconds left, Bron and Ray's threes sandwiching Kawhi's missed free throw, and then an epic overtime period to extend the series followed by Bron putting up 37-12-5 in one of the best Game 7 Finals performances ever.
2016 had the Cavs completing the first ever 3-1 Finals comeback, doing it against Steph-Klay-Draymond-Barnes as the only 73-9 team in history, doing it with probably the greatest 3-game run in Finals basketball (109-31-30 over three games) and all the insane drama of Game 7.
2020 had Bron getting AD and putting the Lakers back in contention for the first time in a decade, only to have all the craziness of a worldwide pandemic, a cancelled season, and then starting over in the bubble for the weirdest postseason in NBA history.
And all that shyt would be just icing on a movie about Bron being born to a teenage single mother in poverty, homeless sleeping in a car, becoming the greatest and most famous high school baller in history and most pumped prospect ever, controlling the NBA court from his very first game, the Pistons battles, the Spurs loss, the Celtics battles, the crazy Orlando series, the Decision, the disappointment against Dallas, and then redemption. Not to mention the I Promise School and the business empire, the political battles with Trump and all the racist right-wingers who project their Black hate onto him, and the way he brought his closest friends along with him all the way from the beginning.
Almost even forgot the Olympics disappointment with Larry Brown refusing to play him and the team getting the first Bronze since the Dream Team, followed by the redemption with two golds.
Bron's basketball career would be a made-for-TV movie even if no one knew who he was.
