LeBron putting up 37 PTS in Game 7 of the Finals to beat the Spurs
while “Bosh and Ray Allen” combined for 0 PTS doesn’t get talked about enough. 👑🔥
One of the greatest carry jobs ever
Brendan Haywood says LeBron erased David Blatt’s play that ended up becoming the infamous game-winner he hit against the Bulls.
“It was the way he ran practice. He was kind of scared to coach LeBron. Remember the shot that LeBron hit in Chicago? David Blatt drew the play up for JR Smith. He had the upmost confidence in JR, but we all thought the play was going to LeBron. He was like ‘okay, yeah, JR’ and Bron grabbed the clipboard and said ‘absolutely not’ and erased the coach’s play and called his own play… and that’s the iconic shot he hit over Jimmy Butler. You’re not supposed to draw up a play for anybody except LeBron James in that situation.”

Norris Cole on LeBron James’s legendary Game 6 performance vs the Celtics in 2012:
“Like live in real life — that might’ve been the best performance I’ve ever seen…I saw him get 61 against Charlotte but that’s a regular season game — this (game 6) if we lose the season is over and the big 3 is broken up. If we don’t win it’s over…LeBron could’ve went for 50…there was no answer for him that night…that was the first time I never seen him laugh or smile before the game. Not once. Not that day…his legacy was on the line and he did what he needed to do to secure any talk…”

2006: Facing a 64 win team with a championship core in the 2nd round, LeBron leads the series in PPG, but the next 4 highest scorers were all on the other team.

The unluckiest great player in sports history.
Kendrick Perkins says LeBron James has had the most pressure over any athlete in sports history:
“There’s no other athlete in the history of sports that’s been under the amount of pressure like LeBron James since the age of 16. Not one other athlete was on the cover of sports illustrated labeled as the chosen one. Not one other athlete came to the league with the expectations of Michael Jordan and has exceeded expectations. He was set up to fail…. When it comes down to longevity and pressure, there’s no other athlete ever in sports that was under that amount of pressure. This is why he’s the GOAT!”

LeBron James on the GOAT debate:
"I think it's a very tiring conversation. It's barbershop talk. You can look at both of us and say that you love both of us without trying to sh*t on the other person. And usually, it's sh*ting on me... but I hope I made him proud at least, wearing that No. 23.”

LeBron James addresses his 4-6 record in the NBA Finals, which is held against him by fans who point to Michael Jordan's 6-0 mark in the championship round:
"When I was younger, I used to have the notion of like, people were getting on me for losing in the Finals, and when I was younger, I used to listen to it," James said. "Like, people will really rather you not make the playoffs or lose in the first round than to lose in the Finals, which is crazy to me. And I almost feel like, is it because it's me? Everybody has to say something about my career: 'Oh, well, he made eight straight Finals, but he was only able to win three.' 'He's the leading scorer in NBA history, but he's played 23 years.'
"Yeah, but I am also fastest to 1,000 [points]. Fastest to 2,000. Fastest to 5,000. Fastest to 10,000. So when I started realizing it was just a knock on me, I started to appreciate it a little bit more. Like, I am pissed off that I didn't have a better winning percentage individually in the Finals, but for people to try to turn it into a negative, it doesn't bother me like it did when I was younger."
Lebron stepped out of his prime and not a single player has been able to replicate his dominance. Your 3x MVP is about to be a 1st round exit. I don’t know how so many ppl were gaslit into thinking 10 straight Final appearance was a hit on his legacy
Hitting the playoff game tying 3 to force OT in the same game you threw an alley oop to your literal son is more impressive in and of itself than 6 rings.
