That's as fair as these guys bashing LeBron. OKC lost because everyone outside of Durant and Westbrook shit the bed. That and Miami's outside shooters couldn't miss along with LeBron going ape shit.

Obviously, but that's the point. This entire discussion about LeBron lacking some kind of instinct or presence is absurd considering what he did last season.

BTW I wish Durant and Westbrook would defer to a wide open Harden then/Martin now. Sometimes it's better to give a skilled offensive player a wide open shot. However, in the big games I prefer it be Durant unless he has no choice.
LeBron isn't a clutch shooter, but if he makes a big play another way it's just as clutch. |

I agree. Clutch performances are more than the last 4 minutes of the game. He had one of the most dominant playoffs ever. That is clutch.

Passed him for career points.
On 2,000 fewer shot attempts. I always hated Iverson.

Don't know how that would apply since OKC didn't have any last shot opportunities, but ok.

You were the one that is grandstanding about what a dominant playoff run LeBron has had. How can you rate a performance as legendary if he wasn't even taking shots with the game on the line? That is very unusual. Quote:

Second of all, unlike Peyton Manning, LeBron James is one of the greatest playoff performers of all time (3rd in WS/48 behind only MJ and Mikan: http://www.basketball-reference.com/..._career_p.html). LeBron has actually shown the ability to raise his game in the postseason unlike many of his peers (Kobe, Carter, McGrady, etc.), which is not something that Peyton Manning has ever been able to do in the playoffs. This ridiculous, baseless narrative that he can't perform in the playoffs because he couldn't lead garbage Cavs teams to titles over far superior teams like the Spurs and Celtics is just that...ridiculous and baseless. Now that he led a team to a championship it's that he didn't hit or take enough shots late in games that the Heat ended up winning? Games that they ended up winning largely to his dominant play both offensively and defensively? It's ****ing absurd. Quote:

Cavs are looking a little better after this most recent trade... Could be interesting next year with another good draft maybe a nice free agent and further development of our very young core.

I have not hidden that I despise LeBron (and yes, if he goes to Cleveland, I will root for him to do well but will never like him). But seriously, **** off for saying anything I've said is "butthurt" from liking the Cavs. I have complimented the hell out of LeBron for his playoff performance. You're the one claiming that it was one of the best of all time. Of all time. That's a damn high standard.
1. Stop posting his 4-quarter performance as if I haven't acknowledged his tremendous performance. 2. No. YOU are the one saying it's an insult, not me. When rating best playoff performances of all time... guess what, Peyton Manning doesn't fall anywhere on the list. Big Ben, Eli, Montana, Brady had a lot more underwhelming playoff runs that were capitalized by unbelievably clutch play when it counted. 3. You are an unbelievable homer if you want to suggest LeBron is anywhere near the kind of closer MJ was. MJ was the best closer of all time. By a wide margin. 4. I am not saying Kobe is a better closer than LeBron. Given how insanely good LeBron is... he passes on the last shot WAY more often than he should 5. No, you're grandstanding. You're ranking last year as one of the best playoff performances of all time. Let's call it what it was. It was a dominating performance, very mediocre late in games, against pretty substandard playoff competition. It was a great performance, but give me a break, it doesn't rank among the greatest of all time. 6. I have been more than objective in my post. You are such a homer that you are painting his performance as practically perfect and the stuff of legends. You place that ridiculously high standard then battle back when somebody says it was anything less than perfect. Who's being unreasonable here? Quote:
