Alright twitter Every year on my birthday I attempt to get my heroes @KingJames@DwyaneWade and @chrisbosh to RT me or reply to me. Maybe this will be the year my dreams come true. Big 3 can you hear me?!
Every superstar who has been to the NBA Finals at least 4x since 1980
LeBron was an underdog 70% of the time, a true outlier.
Jordan, Kobe, Durant, Curry were 100% favorites.
LeBron is the only one to win multiple titles as a favorite and as an underdog.
Good reminder that the argument for LeBron is that he’s better in every statistical measure and was completely dominant for twice as many seasons. The argument for Jordan is that his team managed to lose before the Finals every time they weren’t going to win. Riveting debate!
It’s not only been 8 straight years of an international MVP, but also 6 straight years of international players finishing 1st & 2nd, and 5 straight years of international players finishing 1st, 2nd & 3rd!
The last American to finish in the top 2 of MVP voting? LeBron in 2020.
MJ never won a playoff series without Pippen
LeBron just won one without Luka/AR against a 52 win team with a 14% chance to win before the series…. at 41
Bam GOES OFF on the "unethical" comments about his 83:
"You're blaming me. You should be blaming the head coach. I was not the one who let me go one on one the whole game until I had 70 then you sent the double. At that point, I had 70 with 9 mins to go. You think I'm not going for it?"
"That's the thing that's crazy when they talk about unethical part of the basketball. If I have 70 w 9 mins to go, who would be like, coach just take me out? Yeah, right!"
"You can't be mad at that. If you are mad, I don't care. A lot of people, they're upset. If they did play, they never got the chance to get that close to chasing greatness. If you get that close, that's the point of chasing it -- so you can surpass it."
This Bam performance makes Miami the first team to have 2 players COMBINE to surpass Wilt Chamberlain's by-himself, single-game record of 100. 💯🐐
Wilt (100) + Al Attles (17), 3/2/62 = 117.
Adebayo (83) + Simone Fontecchio (18) = 101.
Wilt (73) + Paul Arizin (26), 1/13/62 = 99
