You can hype up other stats but made 3 pointers seems like the one stat that is super inflated thanks to this era just as passing yards are super inflated in the NFL.

Are you seriously gonna deny this?
Lebron has been playing since '03, long before the 3-ball happy era. Try again.

Contrary to what Bron stans believe I actually love LeBron James the man. He's the ultimate black role model in my eyes. Even more than Kobe who is really more of a universal role model for everyone. LeBron is the ideal role model for our black youth which is why I admire him so much.

I also feel I'm very fair to him as a basketball player. As you can see I've defended him before when others have taken shots at him. I've also rooted for him before (in 2016) eventhough I knew his stans would use that series to overinflate his legacy.

You might be some weird white boy who is on some hero worship tip. I'm not. As a black man I respect ALL of our legends. The only times it looks like I'm going at LeBron is when we're parsing between our greats. But I always show my admiration for the King. I've liked him since he was in high school.

Not all players are lucky enough to face juggernauts like the '00 Pacers, 01 Sixers and 02 Nets in the Finals

True. But Kobe did face juggernauts like the '00 Blazers, '01 Spurs, and '02 Kings. They just happened to be in the Western Conference Finals cause the best teams in the NBA have been out West for the last 20 years.

The NBA Fins were typically a coronation back then for whoever made it out of the West.

:mjlol:

Far from a cac you mental midget.

But go ahead and keep posting Lebron hate. If you dedicated 5% of this energy to your life you'd amount to something.

How on earth can I hate a man I call the ultimate black role model? The most physically gifted athlete of all-time? And a Top 5-6 basketball player I've ever seen?

Its amazing how reporting the fact an NBA player says Bron ain't hard to guard means I hate him.

He builds his teams in the same gimmick fashion as the Rockets. Shooters around him to space the floor so the lane is clear. He calls for a high pick n roll so that his defender has to switch off him and a weaker defender has to guard him. Typically someone slower or weaker. Then LeBron uses his physical gifts to force his way to the basket to shoot a layup. If the defense helps he uses his sublime gifts as a passer to find the open man.

As you can see his style of play is very simple. Against weak opponents its very effective. However, great teams with multiple defenders that are elite can expose this system. Its why LeBron has had such a hard time in the Finals against great teams.


Yep for 17 years he's scored against slower/weaker opponents.....he has shot layups for 34K points...

Don't do that. The only teams who he played in The Finals who were successful in stopping "him" were the '07 Spurs and '11 Mavs; it's a team game and the other four Finals he's lost were teams successful in beating his team, not shutting down LeBron...
