LeBron's defense has been pointed out quite a bit lately. The Cavs defense has been an issue all year long. Not sure what you have been watching.
LeBron wasn't praised simply for beating toronto and Indiana. He was praised for his individual performance in those wins. Do you think Kobe's 81 was celebrated because he beat Toronto? Or because he scored 81. Use your fukking head.
LeBron's failures aren't spun. If he fails, he gets skewered. If he plays well and his team loses, that's not a failure and it never has been. Historically, players have always been praised for balling out in a playoff loss.
And who are these outside people you talk basketball with? I don't believe that you hang with a bunch of Jews who think LeBron is the GOAT
