Stephen A. Smith ETHERS LeBron James for Making Excuses About Losing To the Mavericks in 2011

[DaRock]

I don't care what anybody says. Bron realized wade was on his way to getting finals MVP and sabotaged the whole squad. People can say it's bullshyt but I know what I seen

Crazy that people really believe this..
He admitted he played like shyt and he wasn't prepared for how Dallas defended him..
You act like he was turning the ball over, taking bad shots,etc..he was out thinking himself and that turned into a shyt performance..

Bron stans in here furious already

As opposed to embracing stupidity what are you talking about nikka.

Disgusting, since literally Bron specifically stated he was terrible during 2011 and that he should have played better while also later stating he didn’t wanna take anything away from the Mavs who played well but he realized he needed to play 10x better the next year…..this was all in the podcast lol

This entire clip was after JJ brought up how he gets irritated when people talk about superteam and only mention a Big 2-3 when you need role players to be elite in their role. And Bron specifically brought up the differences between 2011 to show that they hadn’t fully brought the right sort of guys in after that first year and he was right… Ray Allen, Mike Miller, Shane Battier were incredibly vital to that Heat team and they didn’t have them in 2011. They went deep to the finals IN SPITE of having players that didn’t fully fit together

Stephen A jealous that Bron gave JJ the podcast opportunity and not him. Stephen A knows that Bron haters that won’t watch the podcast are gonna believe him whatever he says that discredits Bron. Stephen A a scorned bytch and the shyt he pulling is why people don’t like the media now. He knows Bron said he played like shyt

Both Ls... He aint have the skill set to beat their zone. That why he got in the gym wit Hakeem all summer to develop some proper skillful post game that wasn't just bully size athleticism ball

Also why he went extra on Craptors. Casey was the defensive coach for Mavs and Bron got PTSD and never forgot what his defense did to em on the grandest stage

[The God Poster]

People just wanna hate cuz they literally have nothing else to do with they lives

And when Bron is gone….. they gonna commit dat

In theory you’re right. You the wrong person to criticize others for hating tho

OK, then why didn't he leave it at that? He's talking out of both sides of his mouth

if u were bad in the finals (he was), then say that and leave it. but don't add in that the roster wasn't ready either. Now ur just throwing the team under the bus because you were mediocre

steven a smith is a zionist tho

Nah, breh is right

Bron actually quit...Wade was actually the best player in the series & when he realized he wouldn't win FMVP, he literally checked out

Wade took a backseat the next yr to massage Bron's ego

It's a totally fair take

I dont think LeBron sabotaged the finals cause Wade was winning MVP.

I think after GAME 2 when Wade was cooking and he took the ball out of his hands/failed to close he just decided to let Wade carry them in the 4th from there on.

People talk about last 3 games. I think it was game 2 that fukked with him mentally cause they had a huge lead in the 4th and blew it.

This is a dumb take because losing so poorly in the finals did far more damage to his rep than winning a title as 2nd banana would have. Cause it wouldnt be like he was totally carried those playoffs. Wade/Bron both cooked the Celtics. Bron did more heavy lifting vs the Bulls.

This is as bad as saying Kobe tanked game 7 against the Suns to prove a point. Thats nonsense.

He needs more help

I know it's hard for Bron fans to digest, he mentally checked out

Wade was doing everything bc Bron literally wouldn't step up

We all know Bron's legacy is much diff if Wade wins FMVP in 2011...Wade has the biggest gripe bc a title for him + FMVP puts him as a top 25 player all time

That loss helped Bron's legacy more than it hurt...ppl can say what they want to convince themselves he didn't quit, but he did
