Remember The Time When The Basketball Media Almost Gave LeBron A Finals MVP After Losing 4-2
- Thread starter Double Burger With Cheese
- Start date
Kobe has shoots sub 40% in the finals and has shot below 40 about 3 timesyou literally stab the biggest brick layer in NBA history
THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT NO ONE IS GAY ENOUGH TO HAIL KOBE AS MVP FOR SHOOTING 39% IN A LOSING EFFORT
Kobe has never averaged 50% in his entire playoffs career...is that commendable?
KOBE DOESNT MAKE 90% OF HIS SHOTS AT THE RIM OR IN TRANSITION .. PLAYERS ACTUALLY RESPECT HIS OFFENSE AND D HIM UP ON THE PERIMETER. NOT THE SAME, STOP BEIN A STAT GEEK.

Unprecedented things happen every day. And doing so he still averaged 13 rebounds and 8 assists as well as being the defensive anchor.
WHAT DID RUSSELL WESTBROOK AVERAGE IN THE PLAYOFFS THIS YEAR WHEN HE GOT CRUCIFIED?

You can't give a series MVP to a player on a losing team based on stats, and eliminating winning from the criteria . It's a circular argument seeing the premise of the series played was to define a champion, which requires WINNING.

If you watched that series and came away thinking anyone was more valuable than Lebron James in that series, you don't know shyt about anything.

You obviously don't have a competitive bone in your body, if you actually think Lebrons stats alone justify giving the man a award he didn't deserve because his team didn't accomplish its ultimate goal. Whatever James did, it wasn't enough. Winning in organized team sports trumps individual achievements everyday of the week, and those like you who disagree look like...

The team didn't accomplish its goal. Most Valuable Player is an individual award. No individual in the series came close to being as valuable as Lebron. This isnt difficult.
I just told you this shyt should be obvious to anyone WATCHING the series, and you come back talking about "stats alone" like that was what I said.
Sit the fukk down.
He nearly got a triple double every game though and offices he shot poorly he was the only dude that was gonna create offense on his squad
SO DID WESTBROOK VS HOUSTON

Listen, you can watch that series 100,000 times and guess what....
Lebron still took a lost in that Finals, and because of that he didn't win Most Valuable Player...facts.
I'm pretty sure his subsequent series MVP trophy won the following year means more to him than your hypothetical ass reasoning for why he didn't get it the year before, because after all it's accompanied by a CHAMPIONSHIP.
That's how the shyt works....
