Re: This is OBVIOUSLY Steph's era- not Lebron's.
Well probably I'm kinda happy my team, while having the lesser player in Curry, still top ten all-time, had the better team in 3 of those 4 finals.
This year wasn't our year, wasn't Curry's year, and may well not be Bron's either.
Last year Curry answered the critics with a chip and a long overdue fmvp, only the haters are left.
Incredible rivalry, joy to watch a fifth round despite the result. Hope they meet again

Maybe Lebron playing 92% of all possible minutes has something to do with that.
I remember Love and company bailing LeBron out in the couple of minutes he stepped off the court in the 2018 Pacers series.
Did you just try and use a series from 2018 to respond to a point about the 2015 finals?

Did you? I was specifically responding to your point on the 2015 Cavs going -27 and -26 in less than 25 minutes, I even highlighted it in bold.

Can you elaborate on this? Bron averaged 34/10/8 and dominated that series with a game winner as well. Not sure if Steph even has 1 of those in the playoffs in his whole career.

LeBron's numbers from heliocentric basketball don't impress me that much. Might as well say Westbrook was the best player in 2017.

You’re not impressed by LeBron yet you’re apparently extremely impressed that the Cavs were able to not fall apart in the 5 minutes LeBron was out lol.
LeBron’s 2018 playoff run is one of the greatest of all time. Don’t need stats to see that. Woulda won it all if KD didn’t ruin the league. Steph was a solid Pippen those years tho I will say.

LeBron's 2018 is one of the most overrated runs is more like it. Curry's last year was better.

IF WE ARE TALKING ALL TIME PAYOFF PERFORMERS LEBRON IS NOT as high as you think. just bc he came back form 3-1 with the whole country on his back..doesnt mean he is better than other icons and former mvps

How is using a single anecdote from 2018 with a very different Cavs roster relevant to the 2015 Cavs in the finals?

I’m not surprised you think that. Fits well with your schtick.
Curry last year wasn’t even close to 2018 LeBron. Don’t even see how it’s debatable.

Lol you’re gonna have to go full conspiracy theory mode to even begin making an argument that LeBron isn’t on the short list of greatest playoff performers.
I’m curious what are you basing this on? Facebook comments?

Curry defeated a more seasoned and experienced Celtics team in the finals in six games that LeBron barely beat in seven when the main player was a rookie and the rest of the cast was much greener. Figure it out.

Dawg do you purposefully ignore all context or is it something that happens subliminally?
That’s your reasoning? 2018 Cavs roster was absolute trash for a deep playoff team. Yes they went to 7 games against the Pacers and Celtics…only reason they were able to win was because of LeBron.
This is obvious stuff man. You really gonna tell me to figure it out lol

Who is ignoring all context? Do any of you remember the Cavaliers being the overwhelming favorites to make it out of the East at the start of the season? So why is beating the mighty Pacers or the Celtics headed by the duo of 20 year olds Jayson and Jaylen so impressive?

LeBron was as close to flawless as a player can be in 2018. Basketball is a team sport. They went 7 games with the Pacers and Celtics because the teams were evenly matched. LeBron needed to be GOAT-level to win those series and he was.
Are you being dense on purpose? You hate LeBron and that’s fine but you’re going out of your way to ignore common sense and idk why.

I don't hate LeBron, I'm just mystified how inflated his reputation is. I don't understand how a player who was supposed to win gets so much praise for doing what he was expected to do. The 2018 Eastern Conference was not some incredible gauntlet that should frighten little children.
