When a better team beats you and is up most of the time during the series, thats not a choke. When you choke a 2-0 series lead lose against an 8th seed, then thats considered choke, so no Dallas Mavericks will always be the chokers.
in the post Jordan era?
Basically, its two consecutive best regular season records and 2 MVP awards for the Cavs and James. This season, the Cavs are rock solid from 1-8, I think they have the deepest team in the league. Their only "real" opponent in the East is Orlando and if they pass that test, I think they will run a train on any Western Conference teams, specially the Lakers.
I look at recent history and I think Dirk nowitzki had the "best choker" le for the past few years. So, if Lebron fails to win a le this season, will people dub him as the leagues greatest choker until he wins one?

He's playing with a broken elbow!
Mavs are biggest chokers. They have made a living out of it.
Says Cavsfan. Maybe now Sunsfan can chime in!
As long as LeBron is healthy and we don't have to play 5-on-8 like in the Chicago series we'll be all right in terms of winning the championship. No one in the West can deal with our team. Only Orlando can- and they won't.
simple...if Lebron doesnt win a ring this year, he has no excuses. Just another fail.
I wouldn't call him a choke unless he plays bad. He was tearing Orlando up last season and made it to the conference finals. If the same happened again, it would smear his image but he wouldn't be a choke.
JoeTait, nobody in the west can compete with the Cavs? That's a bold statement. The Cavs will probably win, but it won't be a cake walk.
lebron will not win a ring this year, book it.
No way.
The fact that they even get where they are is because of Lebron.
Fair enough. The Lakers and Spurs can certainly compete. Denver could if they were healthy and if George Karl was on the sideline. But I like this team's chances against anyone.
a choker? r u re ed?
a choker is someone who loses to the 8th seed, or someone who loses after being up 2 and 1/2 games in a series.
lebron is still better than MJ and Magic at his age so far.
You guys are about to beat the Mavs and you're still bitter?
Lebron > MJ already
Lebron = GOAT
the Cavs are going to win the championship
but if they suffer no major injuries and still fail to win this year, then yeah, failure.
If LeBron is routinely putting up triple-double games and shooting around 50% from the field and the Cavs still lose, it's not a choke on LeBron's part.
I had to tear someone a new a-hole for this. Some teams, if they're not outshooting the other guys from the FT 2 to 1...it means it's not fair. FFS.
David Stern and his officials did everything in their power to extend this series if not hand it to Chicago entirely. I'm sure they'll re-double their efforts in the next round against Boston. The Cavaliers will have to accept this reality and overcome it.
Put LeBron around a bunch of scrubs and they're favorites to go to the Finals.
Put Kobe around scrubs and they don't make the playoffs.
Hmmm.
so what?...doesnt change the fact that if lebron doesnt win this year, he fails.
How is it his fault that he can "only" take a team to the Finals that Kobe wouldn't make the West playoffs with? You're calling someone out for being human?
Gasol is 3 times better than anyone who's ever been on LeBron's team, and they still lost 2 games to an 8 seed.

wtf. Are you saying that Shaq, Mo Williams, Antawn Jamison, Big Z, and Varejao are a bunch of scrubs?
adn are you comparing these guys with a starting line up with Luke Walton, Smush Parker and Kwame Brown?!
