C'mon man! Are we really using this as an excuse? The guy was playing in 5 straight Finals prior to this, lol.

Did Lebron play those finals before the games with the warriors?
Wasn't he on Heat superteam cruising in da Eastern conference?

Oh OK. I guess playing more minutes than anybody by going to the Finals every year and being in tough series like BOS and IND is considered "cruising" now.

When it comes to the Kobe vs Lebron debate. The pro Kobe side will always sound lost because the facts simply aren't on their side. Virtually every metric says LBJ is superior. Even era adjusted numbers.

Based on ur logic LeBron should have won 1st season with Miami cause he was fresh & goat, yet he lost to Mavericks after the Mavericks wasted energy beating Kobe, KD, Harden & Westbrook. Lol.

You mean where they swept the Lakers and beat OKC in 5 games? That's your logic!

Miami def. should've beaten the Mavs but that's not the point, lol.

I used to be pro-Kobe and anti-LeBron but even without numbers, as a kid, I could see that LeBron could do anything he wanted whereas Kobe had spots and he was score-first and I didn't want to admit that.

C'mon man. U voted Lakers?(just saw this) Thought u liked Houston? Get off LeBron's wank train. He puts up numbers cause he chases after triple doubles late in da game.

It's all about Houston & Clippers, Lakers are frauds.

Kobe put up numbers cause he shot that Bih 63 times a game. Man got tha most missed shits in league history.....

I've said this before in the old thread and here that LA is the favorite if they traded for AD.

We'll see. It's not like I want them to win this year, lol. Keep that energy though.

I wasn't comparing him to Kobe. I was comparing him to other current superstars.

That’s even worse lol

Except rings that matters most.

Kobe played against difficult competition in West during playoffs.

Kobe won with only one all star. Lebum always had a top 5-10 and another perennial all star.

Lehairline played in a weak east where guys like DeRozan was his opponent.

Kobe won with only one all star. Lebum always had a top 5 and another all star. Played in a weak east. Still lost 5 finals.

You're right. If only Lebron had a prime Shaq carry him to 3 straight rings

 

[Nidai_Kitetsu]

Shaq played with Lebum

Too bad Kobe wasn't playing in the East so that he wouldn't need Shaq to carry him.

Don't forget the refs that were rigging series in the early 2000s so that their cash cow product LAL could represent in the finals.

 

[Nidai_Kitetsu]

Kobe won with Pau Gasol. Le-needs-help formed super teams several times and still lost 5

Good argument, except in Lebum's case who got vip treatment in finals with Warriors from referees when he became GOAT.:yasu:

Game 1 2018 NBA finals. Lebron with no help, GSW with the most stacked roster all time. Refs still had to gift the game to the Warriors against LBJ by himself.

Go rewatch that game if you don't remember. Lbj ain't the right star to bring up when it comes to reffing tbh.

I'll agree the 2016 finals were very suspicious though, especially game 6, anything to stop Curry from prospering

I'd Hope so, he'd be a bum if he needed referee help beating Raptors.
