2 years later and that “anonymous” teammate probably hasn’t made the playoffs since then or is no longer in the league. Meanwhile Lebron is a top 3 MVP candidate and preparing for another championship run.
Patrick Beverely says guarding LeBron is "not hard at all"

Ask what the difference is between a 41 and 50 win team is brehs
I don't know how what you said makes what the teammate said false. Everyone knows LeBron is a great player. The criticism is that because he's so good he should be better and take it on himself to play a style that makes the game easier for his less talented teammates not harder.
The criticism falls on deaf ears because no Lebron play style adjustment would’ve saved the Cavs from getting chopped up by a vastly superior team in the 2018 Finals
Maybe. But it would have made a huge difference in 2017.
That statement did not apply to just one season. Its about how LeBron has played his entire career.

I didn't celebrate shyt, you ignoramus lol. I just pointed out the inaccuracy in your statement that teams have been successful in "shutting LeBron down"...
I've never gone a tangent like "hey, look at Bron's stats", and you know it which is why when you make these blanket statements you can never validate them...
As I've said many times before, I don't need stats to talk about how great LeBron isbecause his body of work speaks for itself. I only allude to stats when one of you guys starts this over the top, exaggerating nitpicking over how "bad" he is compared to other great players---->you know, the whimsical arbitrary standards you and your cohorts only hold LeBron to. I mean really, you brought up a series loss to Dwight in the only series they ever played, to make what point exactly?
No player should have you this fukked up where you resort to lowbrow goalpost moving, especially for a player you claim you "like"...
Getting a bit emotional aren't we? LOL. I can like someone and set the record straight on their strengths and weaknesses. For example, I like Tupac. He's one of my 4 favorite rappers of all-time (alongside Jay, Biggie, and Nas). But if someone comes in trying to say he's some great lyricist I'll set the record straight and say he ain't close to Biggie, Jay, and Nas when it comes to lyrics. Bron is the same to me. I like him but when emotional stans like yourself come in here caping for his flaws, you best believe I'll point them out. Just like I point out Pac's weak lyrics in comparison to other hip hop GOATs.
Now onto the topic at hand. The point of athletic competition is to win. I don't know if you've ever played sports, but I played sports growing up and there's nothing I hated more than losing. No amount of personal accomplishment made me feel better about losing a game. In fact, some of my best games as a kid individually came in games we lost and there's nothing anybody could say afterwards to make me feel better about it. And if the opponent wanted to talk shyt afterwards, being on the team that lost, there was nothing we could say. We just had to take it. Even if individually I got the better of the guy doing the smack talk.
LeBron James lost those playoff series. His opponents got the better of him. There's nothing you or anyone can say to lighten that reality. He should have done better. PERIOD. And a real competitor understand this. Internet nerds who never engaged in athletic competition might not understand it. To them sports is like fantasy football. All they do is read box scores. They don't have the lived experience of actually competing. If they did they would understand how silly they sound trying to defend someone who perpetually loses at the highest level in his sport.

Draymond dumb ass getting suspended for Game 5 didn't help either. nikka is such a clown at times.

When did he say kd wasnt hard to guard tho ...
The funny thing is ppl like us who have never guarded either one of those players are trying to tell a great defensive player that hes lying about his opinion.

Oh so basically you want me to explain a playoff series that you didnt watch and you think Patrick Beverly is actually a great defensive player when he's a scaled down Draymond Green.Hustle dont make shyt if you getting 20 and 30pieces to your name while also scoring a whopping 2pts .Get your low bball IQ ass out of here.
Who said I didn't watch it...
I definitely watched it...
The clippers had a good chance of beating a more much more talented team because of his tenacious defense.
They turned that shyt into a dog fight.
U must dont know basketball bruh.
U got guys who play defense on other guys who have the green light to shoot 20+ shots a game.
Ur gonna get points put on u
you mean kinda like how some people were telling Trae Young he was lying about Lebron being his GOAT a few pages back?
Facts... unless someone can pull up info otherwise... like trae young saying something contrary to what he said recently
