At least I'm not entirely alone.
Hope you don't mind having me on your side.
I mean again there’s a reason people are calling his argument unreasonable, it pretty blatantly is utterly unreasonable if he can’t explain which series lebron underperformed in
When you break it down, maybe 07 Spurs and 21 suns are the only ones that are fair, but 07 Spurs he was a fetus, 21 suns he was hurt and AD got hurt and they were looking pretty good in spite of that
Much of the argument comes down to he should have beaten those Warriors teams where either he or his entire team was hurt, the post 2016 Warriors that literally had to team up with probably the best scorer in this generation, or both.
For reference these are the 9 losses
2006 pistons (21 years old, first playoffs, so-so suporting cast against a stacked team)
2007 spurs (22 years old, so-so supporting cast against stacked team)
2008 boston (closer to his prine but still before the big leap into best in the world status, so-so supporing cast vs a stackes team and still took them to 7)
2009 orlando (only one his team was expected to win, had one of the best series ever played)
2014 spurs (one of histort greatest teams, tired heat team from 4 finals runs and a diminished wade)
2015 warriors (67 wins team vs a team with its second and third best players injured before even getting into lebron back issues that season)
2017 warriors (most stacked team ever, kept the series close when he was on court)
2018 warriors (so-so supporting cast vs most stackes team of all time)
2021 suns (hurt 36 years old with injured co-star vs a finals team)
I am still trying ti wrap my mind which one is supposed to be damning or which one would a different player under the same circunstances could win
