Have you noticed this about Lebron? 

Post#1 » by DS17 » Sun Aug 2, 2015 4:42 am

The dude like other legends (kobe mj duncan) has AMAZING focus. Hes almost always in the moment. You see other players staring off into space planning their meals or some ****, but lebron is always focused.. maybe thats a reason why his stats are so good.. cause his on court mental aquity is SHARP.

Anyone else you can name (and show videos of) in terms of great focus in offense or defence? I know there are tons of videos of Kobe or Peirce displaying this.

Um, did you just start watching basketball. Yes watch previous finals appearances by Lebron, especially the 2011 one, where he seemed disinterested and just floated around the outside passing the ball off. Seemed to have a complete lack of focus for long stretches of key periods. to the point where that is a big knock against him.

When LeBron agreed to take a backseat to Wade? Which in turn was disastrous to do so?

Assumed this was going to be about what his hairline looked like without a headband. Might as well have been.

Lebron takes a lot of plays off on defense.

Lebron plays defense like 5 plays per game, other teams know that and have exploited it even in the playoffs. Hes a good one-on-one defender when does try but thats not often.

His stats were so good because he dominates the ball so all the offensive plays are run through him. If you noticed he had most of the Cavs meager assists totals in every game in the finals

I don't care what anyone says, and you can call me a conspiracy theorist all you want, but I will forever be convinced he sabotaged that series, because Wade was clearly on his way to winning FMVP if they won that series.

He just joined the Heat (highly scrutinized), and people were saying he could only win a chip with 2 other superstars. If he won a ring, but someone else got FMVP, would've looked so bad for him, as if he needed Wade to win him that ring, and that would've been a ton of ammo for his detractors.

I will never be convinced otherwise.

The delusion is strong here.

"taking a backseat" != scoring 11 TOTAL 4th q points through the first 5 games of the NBA FInals on 4-16 shooting and being afraid to post up JJ Barea.

Edit: I see you've edited 11 total points thing to 4th Q not game. Numbers were out of sorts.

I thought the same thing, and funny thing is, my tinfoil hat was at the cleaners, so I wasn't even wearing it.
New York said Mitchell wasn't the guy you trade the sink for, then they traded it for Mikal, lol.

Wasn't he the first player to ever lead BOTH finals teams in points, assists, and rebounds? Now let's hear you rationalize why he led everybody in rebounds. Go.
