Who else is sick of lebron?

[Horse]

Why is this fucker getting so much praise? Yes I realize he's a great player and the mvp. But he will never be among the best ever. They talk about game 6, but forget he is the reason that game was all but lost for miami. The game was as good as over because of lechoke turnovers, misses and airballs. So then in desperation time(no pressure) he chucks up a couple 3's and hits one. We miss a FT giving them a chance, lechoke has the ball(now theres pressure) he misses lucky bounce ray allen then travels and hits the 3 to tie it. Spurs are out of gas lose the game and series. The point is he is still the same guy and will never be a killer. They should've lost that game and the championship a million different ways. And now we have to see this arrogant cocksucker everywhere.

[Juggity]

He is already among the best ever, no sense in denying it. He won that game 7 through sheer force of will.

[-21-]

Dude... don't be so bitter. No matter how you look at it, whether he got lucky or he earned it, LeBron won his 2nd championship. Add to it that he's the best player on the planet, he's sure to get a lot of praise. Plus, everyone is still making up for all the hate they gave him after The Decision and the 2011 Finals.

[spurraider21]

If we won, would Tim Duncan deserve praise?

The Spurs should have lost game 5 against the Pistons with Duncan choking at the free throw line but Robert Horry put on a performance of the ages.

:lmao

:lmao

Not sure what's funny? Lebron was by far the best player in the NBA and by far the best player in the finals. He, not any Spur or Heat player, put game 7 out of reach. He's Oscar Robertson with the body of a freight train.

Just embrace it. He's on his way to the top 10 if he's not already there. Definitely leapfrogged Kobe already.

Lebron is the best player in the NBA, period

Deserve? Of course. Praised? When has he ever been? The guy deserves praise right now. Winning #5 should have nothing to do with it.

Yeah I agree with you, but one guy as opposed to the whole world who are constantly putting LBJ on a peda stool. These fucking kids who just started watching basketball in 2010. Have no idea what basketball really is. These are the same fucks who put LBJ in front of everything.

[RD2191]

Lebron is an overrated piece of shit who bull-rushes his way to easy fucking layups. Fuck that sellout, lets see how good he is when he loses his athleticism.

[kemak]

He ruined that Imagine Dragons song for me, not that I love that band but if it comes on Pandora I immediately have flashbacks of the finals and cringe.

[Poolboy5623]

Stop watching bspn...problem solved.

[DapDaGenius]

I don't have anything against LeBron. It is his annoying bandwagon fans that annoy me.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Fuck Lebron. I was tired of him before he even came into the league.

[emanueldavidginobili]

LOL LeBron will be top 5 ever to play the game when its all said and done, if not better. The man is 28!!! and keeps on getting better each year. I hate him though but those are the facts

[cd021]

Deserve? Of course. Praised? When has he ever been? The guy deserves praise right now. Winning #5 should have nothing to do with it.

[cd021]

Lebron is an overrated piece of shit who bull-rushes his way to easy fucking layups. Fuck that sellout, lets see how good he is when he loses his athleticism.

:lmao:lmao Stop hating man, He is a truly great player.

He scored 21,000 points, 5,000 rebounds and 5,000 assists, 1200 steals and 650 blocks in 10 seasons or 765 career games. If he's overrated then, I don't know the actual definition.

Career averages

27.6 PPG
7.3 RPG
6.9 APG
49% FG

Career P.E.R-27.6 and has lead the NBA In P.E.R For the last 6 years.

[TrainOfThought5]

I stopped reading after the second sentence answered the first one.

[cd021]

If we won, would Tim Duncan deserve praise?

The Spurs should have lost game 5 against the Pistons with Duncan choking at the free throw line but Robert Horry put on a performance of the ages.

They only time Duncan choked was when he missed a game winning tip at the end of regulation in game 5. That being said Horry performance was friggin amazing. Scoring 25 points in 22 minutes from .03 left in the 3rd through OT.

[phxspurfan]

I actually liked the ESPN special where they talked about his work with the Akron school kids. He gives them bikes if they pass the 3rd grade. Pretty cool stuff. While I'm not huge on his antics on the Heat, I have to give him props for supporting at risk youth.

[Blizzardwizard]

:lmao:lmao

I didn't even see your name, but the two laughing emoticons told me it was robdiaz.

[Horse]

He is the best player in the game today but that doesn't mean he's among the best ever. No way did he leapfrog kobe. The greats make the players around them better, they don't leave to form a supergroup. Timmy has always made the players around him better. lebron is a compiler of stats not a winner.

[elmanutres]

everytime a kid brings up the lebron is better than jordan argument. I fucking laugh. I don't even bother rebutting because they are so thick headed there is no point in talking sense to them. Lebron in the best in the league right now yea, but fuck, the greatest ever? Jordan made the basketball global. People go batshit insane seeing him as charles barkley said. Lebron continues to maintain the game global but jordan built the pedestal he is sitting on right now.

[td4mvp2k]

LOL LeBron will be top 5 ever to play the game when its all said and done, if not better. The man is 28!!! and keeps on getting better each year. I hate him though but those are the factsget dat LBJ dik out yo mouf

Agree! he will be a whataburguer fat albert fart machine without athleticism, he could be a looser right now without incondicional love from officials looking to the skies while he flops or makes 5 steps to dunk.

Those stats says nothing, so jordan at 28 had 2 rings too, is lebron better or at the same level that MJ? did michael suck officials penis good?
Did he flop like Lebum?
Karl Malone had more points than MJ, but was not better because of that, stats are for the books you cant rely only on that.
I prefer Kobe a thousand times over Lefag, is more competitive more agressive than that pussy James playing in the East against scrubs
securing his ticket to the finals every year and yeah, playing more often against scrubs in the East will give you more points assists rebounds than
playing in the west against tougher teams.
Remember that 28 game streak? I know they played against some good teams the first 15 games, but then played against Charlotte, New Orleans and
some really shitty teams twice so everything is easier when planets align over you.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

I've been tired of LeCoward for a while now.

[spurso]

If there was ever a player I would want to see get a torn ACL, it would be Lebron. There is something about him that I can't stand. I like Wade but can't stand Lebron.

[galvanizedspur9]

Cool, two rings! :rolleyesLebron will always be a pussy in my book. Talk about having to change teams in your prime to win. Once a pussy, always a pussy.

[Juggity]

Whereas that criticism would be true for a player like Kobe, it is not true for Lebron.

Lebron is closer to Duncan than Kobe in terms of mentality. The guy does everything he can to get his teammates involved and contributes on both ends of the floor for the entire game. He doesn't take any possessions off, and he doesn't force shots in some vanity campaign to break scoring records at his team's expense.

[JingleJangleJingle]

the guy is a Top 5 player of all-time and he is still in prime...if you are a fan of basketball i'm not sure how you can be sick of LeBron.

the worse thing this guy has done generated millions for charity...stop being bitter.

There's plenty of evidence to say Lebron's better than Kobe, though. And it's definitely starting to look like he's got a spot in the top 10, maybe the top 5 depending on his career trajectory.

What do you call padding stats when a finals game when all is out of reach? Look i know you are idle and maybe even to slightly favorable to lebron just to piss off kobefan but it's clear Lebron is an entitled little bitch just like our friend Kobe. hell, i'd argue lebron is worse than kobe in that regard.

tbh, what interests me is not whether players are "entitled bitches" but whether they are capable players. I may or may not agree that Lebron has acted poorly on several occasions and said stupid or shortsighted things on the national stage, but that doesn't affect my assessment of the quality of his play, which, to be frank, is truly astounding. They are two separate spheres of opinions. You don't have to like Lebron the human being, but Lebron the basketball player? It's difficult not to acknowledge greatness when you witness it firsthand as in the playoffs this year and last.

Funny how you say that it's difficult not to acknowledge Lebron's greatness these last two years when he's been putting up hall of fame numbers since he was in the league.

It only proves my point that a stacked supporting cast like the one Lebron had, allowed him to play well and also helped carry him in critical times. I'm being generous with that because I also remember Lebron choking dowm the stretch of game 6.
Ray allen saved Lebron from having been labelled a career long choker. I don't even count 2012. The Thunder had no business in the finals.

[Rogue]

The hatred on Lebron can simply be translated as saltiness imho. It's like a guy who you've always dispised somehow got married to the nicest girl in your town, someone every guy including yourself were always drooling over.

I never said his greatness was limited to these last 2 years. What Lebron accomplished in Cleveland was pretty damn impressive considering how shitty his teams were. He carried a team to the finals, and that can't be overlooked when your number two option is Mo Williams.

There's only been 1 instance of truly inexcusable play for Lebron and that was 2011 when he let the "villain" role get to his head. And he still took that team to the finals, losing in 6. Apart from 2011, Lebron's about as far away from a choker as any player could be, this side of Jordan. His game 7 stats are off the charts ridiculous. His typical game 7 performance is a triple double.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

LeCoward is playing in the weakest era regarding stars, if he was even 5 years older he would not have the success he is having now. Look at his superstar competition. We have "anorexic" Durant, "fat and lazy" Carmello, "scared" Rose, "All I can do is jump and nothing else" Blake Griffin, and "Viagra abuser" Dwight. Could you imagine if that was Timmy's competition? Heck he destroys those guys at 37, now imagine a prime Timmy with that as his competition. Plus, LeCoward had to run away from adversity and join up with superstars in order to win. He can't lead a team the way Timmy can, he's too emotionally weak. The only thing he's better than Timmy at is dancing, balding, and PED abusing. LeCoward is the most overrated athlete I've ever seen, and please don't bring up game 7, it should never have happened and the last image we should have of LeBron is his choking in game 6. Hell, LeCoward owes a lot to Pop and Manu.

[dallasmaverickslose]

Just ignore it. I hate the guy with a passion but unfortunately you cannot deny he's a hell of a basketball player. And because of that he's going to get all of the publicity.

[HI-FI]

i can't hate Lebron. i think he can be a douche and diva at times, plus I bet him and Wade were juicing to high heaven throughout the Finals. but I also think he's at heart a good person despite the douchey moments, unlike a certain rapist from LA.

the media will make him into a demigod but that's what they do. still, Lebron imo has finally lived up to the hype and been the best overall player besides Duncan since MJ. He has earned his two rings, not needing refs or coattailing bigs, so I respect that.

You're conveniently forgetting 2010 when he lost to the Celtics.

[~O~]

You're not sick of "LEBRON".

You're sick of the Media Propaganda that continuously utters how great of a player he is. This is all a matter to USE LeBron for profit. Its all in the tools.

[Clipper Nation]

Kang on another level, tbh, and haters are salty about it :lol

The fact is, LeBron is a champion and an all-time great.... as he said, "that shit stank, don't it?" :lol

LeBron will be at minimum the 2nd GOAT when he retires with a chance at GOAT....

[Juggity]

You're conveniently forgetting 2010 when he lost to the Celtics.

As great as the Kang is, this is where I would have to draw the line. In an alternate universe where Dad Killer doesn't leave the league for two years, maybe he loses to the Rockets in the finals. But the fact is, he never did. 6-0 in the finals while being the clear MVP each time is legendary. Until somebody tops MJ's FMVP count while also winning 100% of the time in the finals, I can't really say he's got a challenger for the GOAT title.

Plus, there's 2011, which I regard as the only true performance-based blemish on Lebron's career. He was totally responsible for loss to the Mavs. After 2011, Lebron couldn't become the GOAT. That option disintegrated. Still top 5-10 for sure, but not the GOAT.

[Texas_Ranger]

He's a great player, no doubt one of the best ever, but he also chose being a pussy and made superfriends with Wade and Bosh so he could win it the easy way.

[SenorSpur]

The guy is the best player in the NBA and is coming off 2 consecutive NBA Championships. Had the Spurs (and Pop) not blundered away an almost certain NBA title, it's quite possible that Lebron wouldn't be garnering as much offseason attention as he's currently getting.

[Vash StampedE]

Don't hate, just appreciate...even though he beat our most beloved Spurs.

[Buddy Mignon]

I see yall still having trouble sleeping at nigbt... LOL!!!

[Horse]

If everything was about stats wilt would be the best ever.

[Horse]

In your in-depth analysis, you seem to have left out he led the Heat to a game 7 win in the Finals. There should have never been a game 7. The heat didn't win a championship the Spurs lost a championship. Sure he put up numbers but when the shit hit the fan he shit the bed. And it was missed free throws, bad coaching and ray allen that bailed him out. The shot he called a "jordan moment" in game 7, they had the lead so where was the make or break pressure? fuck that faggot!

[Horse]

Whereas that criticism would be true for a player like Kobe, it is not true for Lebron.

Lebron is closer to Duncan than Kobe in terms of mentality. The guy does everything he can to get his teammates involved and contributes on both ends of the floor for the entire game. He doesn't take any possessions off, and he doesn't force shots in some vanity campaign to break scoring records at his team's expense.

True he doesn't force shots and tries to involve teammates but the guy is just not a leader. He had to do it himself he doesn't inspire his team. You heard his stupid speech in the huddle. He doesn't belive the dumb shit he says so why should his team? He has a false confidence and it's easy to see his insecurity. You watch next time it's do or die he will fold again.

[Horse]

And let's not forget the very suspicious lovefest Pop had with lebron and wade after game 7. Also the 2-time champion shoes that were out before the finals were over.

[elmanutres]

Nobody is arguing that Lebron is greater than Jordan. I've never seen anyone make that argument, and further there's no evidence to support the claim.

no i know this thread is not the lebron is better than jordan argument. I'm just saying outside this thread and you go to say youtube, craploads of kids are saying lebron is better than mj. i'm just mentioning it.

[elmanutres]

And let's not forget the very suspicious lovefest Pop had with lebron and wade after game 7. Also the 2-time champion shoes that were out before the finals were over.

those 2 time champ shoes don't mean anything. They are just made if the heat win, so nike can make money off the finals win. which they did. Had they lost they would be sent to africa or something. Just like the finals shirts. They always make 2 sets of shirts, the one that loses the series has the shirts sent to third world countries. It's just for supply and demand.

And as far as that pop lovefest, well we don't know much, but one thing is for sure, i have never seen a series with so much respect given between the 2 competitors.

[Budkin]

Because LeBron refused to let his team lose Game 6. He took over in the Final minutes remember?

[elmanutres]

This is a great point. I think I could respect his skills a lot more if he wasn't such a poster boy for NBA profit.

[therealtruth]

It's much harder to repeat and we saw it with how much luck the Heat had to go their way to repeat. Meanwhile the Spurs have tried 3 times to repeat and failed. They couldn't get lucky just once?

[Dverde]

LeBron is really carrying the league like MJ did when it comes to promos and image. Think how empty the NBA would feel if he was out for a year. NBA really needed him to win that last championship. Your #1 can't be going 1 for 4 in NBA Finals. I'm surprised the Spurs got a fair shake in that final series.

[kobexxx]

n0

[therealtruth]

I am going to put a theory out there that the reason Pop really didn't try that hard to win game 6 is because he didn't want to damage Lebron's legacy. It may not even have been a conscious idea but the way he didn't go for the jugular and coached like it was a regular season game in the 4th. Did you see him hugging Lebron after game 7. He must have been the happiest person for him.

Lebron is in the media far less than he should be considering his marketability. I like him, he's a beast and he's not a 2nd stringer trying to coattail to a ring.

[DMC]

to be fair, even with that performance, with 28 secs left, it still wasn't enough. ray allen bailed his ass out.

That's stupid. You have to have a chance to win the game before anyone can hit a game tying shot. Lebron was far and away the MVP of the Finals.

[DMC]

There should have never been a game 7. The heat didn't win a championship the Spurs lost a championship. Sure he put up numbers but when the shit hit the fan he shit the bed. And it was missed free throws, bad coaching and ray allen that bailed him out. The shot he called a "jordan moment" in game 7, they had the lead so where was the make or break pressure? fuck that faggot!

Damn you salty as fuck. It's a game, everyone made millions except us and they aren't sitting around lamenting our misfortunes in life. Get over it. Have a donut.

[ThaBigFundamental21]

I actually liked the ESPN special where they talked about his work with the Akron school kids. He gives them bikes if they pass the 3rd grade. Pretty cool stuff. While I'm not huge on his antics on the Heat, I have to give him props for supporting at risk youth.

Honestly, when athletes spend a few thousand dollars on gifts, and make sure the public finds out/and or runs a special on them doing so I laugh to myself. They have hundreds of millions and spend a few bucks to get attention. I will never respect that, yet the average Joe and public eats it up and gushes. It's a fuckin joke. You should know better, as should we all. Obviously I'm a Spurs fan, but a guy like Tim Duncan who does all the right things and keeps to himself while doing immense good for the community will always earn my respect, and there are others like Tim. They just don't need all the attention or TV specials. That's how you know who is legit, and who isn't. You just have to dig a little.

[ThaBigFundamental21]

BTW, Lebron is by far the best player in the game right now. No one can take that from him. Man up and give his game props. Does he have shortcomings? Yes. But he is still the best in today's NBA.

[Horse]

Damn you salty as fuck. It's a game, everyone made millions except us and they aren't sitting around lamenting our misfortunes in life. Get over it. Have a donut.

I had two didn't help. Sometimes the better team does not win. I don't know how anyone could argue the Spurs were not the better team.

Is this a joke? Lebron is the best player in the NBA and quickly becoming a top 5 player of All TIme. Guy has already made 3 straight Finals and going for 4 in a row. Last top great players to do that was Kareem and Magic when they went to 4 straight Finals in a row in '82, '83, '84, and '85.........and they went 2-2. LeBron has a chance to go 3-1 in his possible 4 straight appearances. Who is gonna beat this Miami team? MJ and Kobe never went to 4 straight Finals. The guy is gonna go down as a top 3 player of All Time when all is said and done. I get that their are people out there that just love to hate on people who succeed...knock yourselves out...but the fact remains the guy is the most dominant force in the NBA today.

I had two didn't help. Sometimes the better team does not win. I don't know how anyone could argue the Spurs were not the better team.

The better team always wins a best of seven.

Honestly, when athletes spend a few thousand dollars on gifts, and make sure the public finds out/and or runs a special on them doing so I laugh to myself. They have hundreds of millions and spend a few bucks to get attention. I will never respect that, yet the average Joe and public eats it up and gushes. It's a fuckin joke. You should know better, as should we all. Obviously I'm a Spurs fan, but a guy like Tim Duncan who does all the right things and keeps to himself while doing immense good for the community will always earn my respect, and there are others like Tim. They just don't need all the attention or TV specials. That's how you know who is legit, and who isn't. You just have to dig a little.

You have a pinhole view of reality in this case if you think these athletes make these PR decisions. It's an NBA thing, an agent thing. Athletes play ball, many aren't even literate enough to make PR decisions worth millions. They are used up and the fat white guys behind the scenes make hundreds of millions and remain spotless while the ignorant negro male gets type cast as a greedy con artist.

Jordan could have been to 8 finals in a row if he did not retire TBH, but otherwise good post. I feel MJ 8 peats though if he did not retire that year and a half. I agree on Bron though, man what a player he is, without him this year Miami is a 7th seed or less, period.

[Chillen]

He is the best player in the NBA at the moment, there is no denying that. However I feel I would have had more respect for him as a basketball player if he stayed with the Cavaliers and led them to a championship instead of forming a superteam in Miami basically screwing the Cavs fans, etc. He has won 2 NBA titles with plenty of help to get him those, as designed. Michael Jordan never sold out like that, he stayed the course with the Bulls and the championships the Bulls won Jordan made his teammates better, very respectable. LeBron doesn't have to make his teammates better, he has Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh and a bunch of talented ring chaser players past their prime there in Miami. MJ had Pippen, and some good talent but nothing as ridiculous as LeBron has.

So anyone that thinks LeBron is better than Michael Jordan or ever will be, have a good laugh. LeBron is LeBron, if he doesn't have help he can't win championships someone has to design it and buy him one. The Spurs championships are very impressive because Duncan is an amazing leader and they did it all through drafting, etc, not bought like LeBron's in Miami. The Bulls with Jordan did it very similar to the Spurs....so if people hate LeBron and Miami, they deserve it all.


I am going to put a theory out there that the reason Pop really didn't try that hard to win game 6 is because he didn't want to damage Lebron's legacy. It may not even have been a conscious idea but the way he didn't go for the jugular and coached like it was a regular season game in the 4th. Did you see him hugging Lebron after game 7. He must have been the happiest person for him.

Than Pop is the stupidest NBA coach ever, no coach throws a series to preserve a players legacy, in sports its competition all that matters is your legacy. Hogwash, the Spurs had their chances and blew it fair and square. Miami really got lucky in that series. While your at it you can make the case that Manu cared about LeBron's legacy to with all those turnovers which really hurt the Spurs in the finals. The Spurs played really hard, the only thing that will make you all get over that Finals loss to Miami is if the Spurs get back there and win it all in 2014, aside from the Bulls winning the NBA title, I hope you do it and if Miami is there please return the favor!

I don't get Spurs fans. They disrespect a guy who plays for money only and never gets a ring and doesn't make the moves necessary to win one, then they disrespect a guy who, as a free agent, goes elsewhere because his shitty owner wouldn't bring in talent needed to get over the hump. It's not like Gilbert was paying max money for Lebron.

Almost any team he would have gone to would have been pushed over the top. Chris Bosh isn't even needed in that scenario. Imagine him in Dallas with Dirk had TC stayed, or in Chicago with Rose, Deng and Noah, or in Boston with KG, Pierce and Rondo. Hell, imagine him with the big 3 in SA (that's why people have him anyhow, because they wanted him on their teams).

Everyone loves a stacked home team, but they hate a stacked opponent.

It's not Lebron's fault that he's as good as two top tier players at once. If the Spurs could do what Miami is doing, they'd do it in a heartbeat. It's not like Miami is spending Lakers like money.

[Clipper Nation]

:lol Everyone who claims they'd have more respect for LeBron if he stayed in Cleveland is disingenuous as fuck.... he'd still have zero rings and you'd be calling him a choke artist, don't lie.....

It's funny how Bullsfan seems to be some of Kang's biggest haters.... you didn't have a problem when the Bulls bought championships in the '90s by bringing in Rodman, signing Harper, etc. :lol

Yeah...I feel the same way. I should have clarified my post. While I think LeBron ends up top 3 of All Time....MJ is clearly my #1 player of All Time. Had he not "retired"...I agree he would have made 8 straight Finals. If Pop didnt bench Duncan in the last minutes of game 6 and let Duncan go 5-0 in the Finals...he is top 5 of All Time....easily(I still think he is but alot of NBA fans dont think so). I think the top 5 players of All Time are coincidentally the best players at their position: Magic(PG)/MJ(SG)/LeBron(SF)/Duncan(PF)/Kareem(C).............that would be the best lineup of All Time.

Not this time. miami had nothing to do with missing free throws and Pop putting his own head up his own ass.

Correct and the Spurs coach beat the Spurs in game 6.

How about in game 7? Was that a coaching problem as well? You do realize game 7 decided the championship, right?

It's funny to watch Laker fan wring their hands over Kobe's legacy as Lebron takes a huge bite from it every year.

You do realize if they didn't give game 6 away there would be no game 7 right?
