LeBron fanboys and the "everything is fixed" crowd have made this board unbearable.  Looking forward to seeing them all STFU after the finals are over.

Piston were a rare team to win back to back and make 3 straight final.

Did LBJ have to beat even 1 team comparable to those teams MJ lost series to, to make the finals in his 7 straight finals run ?

NO................................not 1 team comparable......

LBJ needed to go to 3 different teams. He basically created his own super team.  When things did not go his way he cried and and begged for more help.  His 7 straight finals is more a mockery than an achievement vs the ECF.

c'mon man gotta give lebron some credit, the dude is a bit... idk ornery at times but he's hit multiple game winning playoff shots.Off the top of my head there was that pacers series where he hit that layup off the inbound pass with less than second to go. This was with miami. and his first stint with cleveland, i know he hit a 3 pointer against orlando in 2009 playoffs to win a game. then of course theres a million stories of his great games against the pistons in 2007 where he did crazy stuff like score the teams last 27 points or whatever. he's hit some big shots.

unless you're just trolling or whatever, then ignore this post.

in defense of lebron, i know back in the day he avoided comparing himself to jordan (idk about nowadays). and it was nice of him to come back to cleveland and win one for his hometown, even if he did get a lot of help.

I remember watching his first tour in cleveland, and we always thought he was as good as kobe (no mj comparisons at the time.) Cleveland fans were always frustrated that we could never find another "go to guy" for lebron, that was always seen as the last piece for a championship team. Some thought the failure to retain carlos boozer cost the team championships. So I never viewed him as being cheap for surrounding himself with talent like bosh or irving cause we always knew he couldn't do everything on his own anyways.

idk, it was always about winning one for cleveland i guess. If ray allen hadn't hit that shot he may have only gotten one in miami. its good he came back; solidifies his career.

uhhhhh I think cavs can win this up coming series in 6 games, but we will see.

I called him out for those fake numbers he just makes another thread and says the same thing. Dude is dillusional him and plays4all are the same person. Hes rode with lebron first championship and since he won alst year he thinks he is the king. If he loses this year he willmake up some sh.it about scripts.

And mj would win because on the biggest stage he wins. Lebron just cries and cries and cries. Why does he cry so much? He wins he cries he loses he cries. The series isnt going his way he cries ive seen it so many times. Last year was the first time he cried and then won then he cried. Thats why these lebron di.ckriders love him so much cuz he cry in their real lives... girl and moan. And are corny like lebron. The dont like mj cuz he fu,cks bi.tches two at a time while smoking blunts then wakes up the next morning hitting shots in the finals while winking at all the crybabies wives and then sleeping with them the next night. So of course u would think lebron is your king cuz ur a bi.tch. Hes great but hes a cry baby bi.tch. And rememvver hes the self proclaimed king no one made him king. He was crying to mj the other night too because guess what MJ dont like his cry baby behind.
