Hornets: LeBron has the most embarassing Finals losses among all time greats

[gambit1990]

he's the GOAT.

[Othyus Lalanne]

he's the GOAT.

I guess the whole GOATNESS is an overrated idea in that case.

2007 - Sweep
2011 - 17 PPG, tremendous choke job, unable to post up a midget (JJ Barea), outscored by Jason Terry off the bench, stacked team vs 1 all star
2014 - 4-1, largest point differential in Finals history
2017 - 4-1, even though he was surrounded by 2 other all stars
2018 - 2nd sweep, refused to guard Durant, deferred to his teammates when guarded by Curry

Is this your GOAT? Le3-6

2007: SCRUB team
2011: let's call that a choke
2014: motivated spurs team clicking on all cylinders
2017: durant's warriors
2018: durant's warriors

three scratches, a loss + a choke.

Did this sucker call himself the GOAT?

How do you feel about it now?

I feel great. How about you having the top 2 usage players in the league? Or Mike D as your coach?

Lebron's comeback from 1-3 down against a 73-9 team negates all those losses.

Head to head in finals. MVPatty 1 - King Delly’s Running mate 1.

So about them finals losses you made fun of...

I have a balanced take on Lebron. He's definitely a top 5 all time player, but his Finals record is definitely a strike against him. He needed a Ray Allen miracle to win one of his 3. As a Spurs fan, we never feared him. We killed him in 07, killed him in 14. We were more afraid of Shaq than this guy. There was always a clear strategy for beating Lebron: make him shoot from outside.

All time great SF, but not the GOAT.

I feel the same way. That 2007 Cavs team probably wins 25 regular season games without LeBron, and Golden State were (and should've been) heavy favorites in their match ups. The losses to the Spurs & Mavs are definitely marks against him, but his win against the 73 win Warriors is an all time great accomplishment.

The Mavs swept the 2 time defending champs and beat a talented OKC team

They were legit
