Would that be the same agenda you've been parading all year? You must be hitting the bottle pretty hard tonight, just be happy for him when he wins a ring, ok?
We can't all be closers. As JoeTait said, this is why he took his talents to South Beach.
It means making more than 6 of the 24 shots you attempt in a finals game 7.

Cool. It's not like this is a secret or the first time someone has mentioned it.
What's new?
Thanks. That's your definition.
I'd like HH's definition. The post was directed towards him.
Lakerfan fan should be pulling for Lebron to win finals MVP tbh, everybody knows he will surpass Kobe in the all-time list sooner or later, so they should be worrying about Wade not getting the accolades to pass him too, imho.
I'll take a stab at HarlemHeat's definition, IMO he's referring to a finals performance that will be looked back on as historically great (2000-2002 Shaq, 2006 Wade, 2003 Duncan, etc.). Stuff like 2007 Parker, 2008 Pierce, and 2009 Kobe will be looked back on as good finals performances but not historically great.
2010 Kobe is a disgrace to the finals MVP award
Speaking of Finals MVP, will Wade actually be awarded it, if he's as deserving then as he is to this point? I suspect they'll be an obligation to give it to James, because he's the best player and he's in his prime.
Finals MVP is foolish. This is the rare instance where the NBA should take a cue from the NHL and change it to "playoffs MVP" (NHL actually calls it the Conn Smythe trophy, but it encompasses the entirety of the playoffs).
Everyone knows Duncan was the best player in the '07 playoffs. Parker had far and away the best match-up (Hughes, on a bad ankle, attempting to guard him the first two games), so the Spurs milked that en route to a sweep. So Duncan was essentially penalized for being unselfish.
What does it say when non-laker fans are throwing Kobe's name around in a discussion, unprovoked?
I think it shows you're a little too worried about Bean's hardware.
I'm not the one who brought him up, you did.
Jamstone actually did with the agenda he admitted was obvious
Duncan should have won it regardless. There is more to basketball than just scoring, that's a Kobefan mindset. Parker is a huge defensive liability. Duncan was the anchor on both ends.
Good take. Transcendent finals performances are remembered almost as much as an individual accomplishment as the team winning the le.
And who knows if Lebron really cares about where he ranks all time. You're lying to yourself if you wouldn't trade your life for his. If he's happy sharing the spotlight with D-Wade and being able to half ass it during the regular season, so be it.
You should probably stop now.
I agree (other than calling Parker a "huge defensive liability"; I wouldn't go that far). But scoring is most often rewarded first and foremost, so I at least understood the argument for Parker winning it. But had they taken the entirety of the playoffs into account, it wouldn't have even been a debate.
The same thing is happening this season. To this point, Wade is the Finals MVP. But if the entirely of the playoffs is taken into account, James would be.
The 2007 finals MVP was just a meaningless award regardless.
We're not talking about him making millions, ing es, and enjoying the Florida sun. Anybody would love these things. This is about unabashed LeBron White Knights who are upset that Wade is about to win Finals MVP.
LeBron is great, and he will finally ring. The fact that Wade is winning the finals for the Heat shouldn't detract from that.
Why? I'm not the one saying that the best player in the world is a 1b player on his team.
1A players pick their games up for the finals and are closers.
These are things we know.
lol @ trolling/insanely raged LeBron is about to get a ring
Fun Fact: Wade with scoring and assists created 14 points in the second half for Miami. LeBron created 23 points in the second half.
You missed your bus.
Tonight was great because I knew the LeBruminati would be out in full force defending their hero from Robin-like Finals performances. You were ripe for the trolling, and this thread proves it.
Your bus is leaving, again.
No, 1A players can also shoot 40% in the finals. THESE are the things we know, specially Lakers fans.
You're doing more harm than good with those stats and you don't even realize it. When you post like that, it makes one think you didn't watch the game. The same game where Wade was clutch and LeBron was traveling, double-dribbling, and chucking off-balance treys. This of course isn't the case...we all know you saw the game because we all witnessed your epic meltdown in the game thread
Fun fact:

Go kick rocks.
Once again Spur fan brings up Kobe unprovoked...
Horrible comparison, just absolutely deplorable.
The Lakers didn't have a 1A, 1B scorer. Kobe was the obvious first option (for better or worse).
You're wrong, and you're a foreigner. Tough day for you.
