No, I'm saying that in the NBA - the player that's considered having the most dominant size and talent combo fails to dominate, often, when it's time for the Chip to fall at the end of the season.
That's literally all I'm saying - and any and everyone is free to disagree with me and I'm comfy about it. I've seen him give up with my own two...you require him to say "I give up" verbatim to intuit that he gave up. We have very different standards in that regard. It''s quite alright, by me.
Thats fine. I am saying I disagree. I've only seen one time when Lebron failed to dominate and that was because of a deficiency in his game that Dallas exploited which is not his lack of will. As I pointed out the next year Lebron corrected that deficiency and won a ring. Thats some serious evidence of a will to win. Lebron went back and looked at film. Lebron spotted the shortcoming, worked on it, and turned it into a strength.
Yeah, he turned it into a 1-peat after making what was considered a stacked team at the time.
Funny thing about the nba now, too...is that that Miami team isn't so grossly stacked anymore by our new standard
Yup they won 2 finals. And that stacked team sure didn't play like a stacked team. Bosh was what? 13ppg -7rpg in the finals after that Dallas series? Basically a shell of Pascal Siakam this past year. Who's saying "man Toronto is stacked with Pascal". Wade was 17-4-4 an the only guy to show up with any consistency.
That Spurs series once down 3-2, sure Ray Allen hits a HUGE 3. But he was 3-12 shooting in that series in their two elimination games. Bosh was 5-17 there. In game 7, Bosh/Wade/Allen score 23 points on 11-30 shooting. Lebron scores 32 on 12-23 shooting.
The Spurs rematch, Lebron goes for 31-10-5 on 10-21 shooting and just 1 turnover in the elimination game. Going against Kawhi, one of the best wing defenders in the game. Bosh/Wade/Allen go for 29-15-5 with 7 turnovers in that game on 11-34 shooting.
In elimination games that "stacked' teams big 3 outside of Lebron each scored an avergage of 9.4 points per game in the finals after Dallas. Lebron outscored them on his own. To put that in perspective, when people talk about how ruined the Warriors were this post-season. Curry got 63 points from his next big 3 without Durant in game 7 (Iggy, Klay, Green).
In Lebron's "Big 3 era" with Cleveland and Miami, his teams are 13-39 when he doesn't play. On pace for a 20 win season, which would have been dead in the league 2 of the past 3 years.
So inside track for the #1 pick in the draft without him playing. With him, 3 championships in 8 years. That's impressive.
