@ApexJonesHACKED Brown won a ๐ with a 6'0 PG who:
โขBreaks down players with one-on-one moves
โขIsn't afraid to mess up his stats with inefficient shooting when it's time to win on the biggest stage
โขHas a mamba mentality and pays homage to Kobe
...Yet he didn't with the so called ๐.
@TheTruth8240 LeBron has always needed a clutch player in closing moments to pass to, from DWade to Kyrie to AD to Luka...players who look forward in the moment to creatively score relentlessly in winning time. Jordan was "him". Kobe was "him" (admired Jordan) Brunson was him (admired Kobe).
@TheDunkCentral So why does LeBron call himself the ๐? Shouldn't he have said, that right there made us the ๐'s? No one goes from business to business in search of a better job, a higher salary, and better business relationships would ever call themselves the greatest employee to ever do it
@ThrowbackHoops Stats without context are inane. LeBron's stats in the series were better than Kobe's in every category; except for Total Plus/Minus:
James -7
Kobe +49
James loses homecourt & had 50 more FTA's than Kobe.
Kobe wins a ๐ over ORL who beat LeBron when it matters. Kobe better.
@PolymarketHoops@EricPincus The Lakers are bigger than LeBron. Use that money on two skilled young defenders with size, or Kyrie and a defender. Let James walk to film his documentary with his sons next season. This is the Age of Luka in LA, and he doesn't need distractions.
@_oliverklosoff@olympicbean LeBron could never work in the triangle under Phil and be great. He needs long runways to charge and ball dominance to get his points. Shaq demanded the ball unless you were very elite in your ability to quickly beat your man one-on-one and score.
@TheTruth8240 2 things can be true concurrently; Kobe was better, the closest in mentality, feel & style, the rightful heir to Jordan's NBA. Yet LeBron had the greater media following, the bigger Nike ๐ฐ, was a great young player, and was promoted more by the League. The "Face" was subjective
@wavytalkhoops LeBron lost 5 out of the 8 finals.
LeBron stacked the deck yet still lost with super teams.
Lebron promised 8 championships.
Context matters.
@Ballislife Dwight Howard's team beat a heavily favored LeBron James 66 win team without the Magic's starting All Star point guard who was averaging 16.7 PPG and 5 assists. ORL wasn't even at full strength and beat LeBron's #1 seeded team with home court in 6. LeBron could never be a ๐
@NBA__Courtside The take is easily disproved. SA vs. OKC WC Finals had higher ratings than the CLE vs NY EC series. The Spurs-Thunder series averaged between 9.6M and 9.7M viewers, whereas the Cavs-Knicks East Conf Finals Game avg 7.4M viewers. NY didn't win the ratings vs 2 small market teams
@HaterReport LeBron flopping vs Shai flopping. Why do we now have entire segments for flopping? Who actually believes Shai is worse than LeBron? Does Shai argue with refs over fouls not going his way from flopping and leaving his team 4 on 5? Stack the Shai # of flops against LeBron's
