Because MAYBE, just maybe

both things were true, it's not a complicated concept, the nikka has no reason to sit up there and lie when he done span the block and won multiple since then

:mjlol: what is wrong with y'all man, just saying anything so you can shyt on someone


yall really dont deserve the truth from anyone if you just gonna spin it however you wanna see it
I think u may be missing the forest for the trees here breh. I think we'd agree BOTH LeBron and SA agree he played poorly. It becomes lame when LeBron throws in the role players. While the championship teams may have had a better fit in the subsequent championship runs, that particular team was still up in the series. The fact is if LeBron HIMSELF played better in those 4th quarters, the Heat still win the chip DESPITE the ill fitted roster.

If it’s true how is it lame? Lebron Didn’t play up to his standards but a big part of that is the defense he played against. If your primarily a slasher and not a great shooter and we take away your slashing and force you to shoot which you aren’t good at then the scheme works. It’s not like lebron is a great shooter and just had a bad shooting series they made him play to his weakness. The next year they had shooters all around him so that scheme wouldn’t work again. He’s explaining what happened while also blaming himself

Jordan was getting humiliated and beaten in the playoffs before bulls team had pippen, kobe rode shaq coatails to three rings and was by far the lesser player and couldnt win in the playoffs again until he got another top 75 great player in gasol, steph first ring was against a depleted team without 2 of their three best players, and his only finals mvp was against a young inexperienced team in the boston celtics


Pippen was a lesser player to Jordan than Kobe was to Shaq. Pippen's Finals averages in the 2nd three-peat were absolutely mediocre.

Pippens job wasn’t to have to put up great numbers pippens job was to guard the other teams best players and allow mj to basically roam the court causing chaos on D. 9 times out of 10 back in the 90s if you can take the teams best player out of the game you win. It wasn’t to often you had teams with 2 or 3 stars that could carry the team back then

No GOAT should be held to 8 points in a finals game. It's not just the Mavs' game plan. It was LeBron playing like a scared little girl
That’s just you hating my man. They exploited his weakness he couldn’t shoot. He worked on his jumper and post game after that. Both tools to beat zones. It’s ok to have an opinion but you should atleast be honest

He had 8 points. That’s on him, not the “roster”

Why did he have 8 points? Because the mavs took away a slashers slashing and made him settle for jumpers or get the ball out of his hands. If he had the 2012 roster they couldn’t do that. If his 2011 team could space the floor he wouldn’t have had 8 points. When you don’t have to guard every man on the court it’s kinda hard get spacing. But we know it’s on him he said it. The same way he explained how the mavs could do what they did
