I have never seen a star in any sport play on such a tilted court before in my life when it comes to calls and narratives. Every bspn commercial today featured lequit. Its absolutely disgusting. Hes lucky to not be ringless in all honesty.
I could make a huge list of critical calls/non calls in games that have swung series or even championships in his favor and hes still 3-6 despite hand picking his teams with talent while beating up kindergarten teams in the JV conference...all this while even scrubs like Dellavedova get calls.
2012 finals game 2 durant hack no call series tied 1-1 instead of down 2-0.
2013 finals game 6 danny green fouled by bosh on game tying 3 in ot no call.
2016 finals bush league move stepping over dray while lobbying for suspension post game 4. Weak. Game 6 phantom Curry foul trouble to force game 7.
2017 finals game 3 GSW beats fix shooting lights out from beyond the Arc. Game 4 refs double down everyone but Durant in foul trouble.
Even yday Lebron got away with 2 fouls when he had 3 in the third quarter to keep him out of foul trouble.
Its amazing to see the masses slurp all the propaganda up tbh.
speaking of propaganda, a patriots fan should know better than cite finals winning % as a determining factor in greatness
and anybody can cherry pick bad officiating over a long career:
Actually win % matters, otherwise Jordan isnt held in GOAT status its a large part of it.
so joe montana has a case as the best QB ever? it's better to lose in the conference finals than in the finals? terrible logic. titles won is itself an overrated method of judging a career. success % in the final round is even sillier, particularly when the matchups are lopsided, like lebron's cavs against the spurs in his first finals appearance at age 22. counting that season in any way as a NEGATIVE on lebron's resume, particularly given his heroics in the ECF against the favored pistons, is beyond absurd. that cavs roster was garbage
lebron's first year in miami, on the other hand? perfectly valid to criticize him. not because his team lost in the finals, but because he played like crap
the only title winning % that could conceivably matter is titles won relative to length of career
As for bad officiating, its not cherry picking when Consistent benefitting of a friendly whistle is evident with actual examples at critical junctures. Thats called corrupt officiating because bad officiating means both teams have a 50/50 chance at getting screwed, and with the number of examples to us to the naked eye and on film, youd have to be an Lbj homer to not see it. Some ppl just dont want to believe the product theyre seeing is influenced by the league.
absolute baloney to think that some shadowy figure (silver? stern before him?) is meeting clandestinely with officials to plot which teams or stars are going to be favored. that **** would go public so fast your head would be spinning like linda blair. do you have any concept of how much these guys would have to be paid under the table to keep their mouths shut FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES?! i don't think you do. i mean, how do you even go about approaching an official to make such an offer? the official would have so much blackmail power in that situation. no businessman in his right mind would even consider ruining an entire league by trying something so foolish
and i'm hardly a LBJ homer. that's as laughable as your conspiracy theory. the reality is that many people so strongly dislike him that it clouds their judgement. lebron doesn't consistently get whistles at key junctures. if that were the case, you'd actually see broad-based evidence of such produced by people with too much time on their hands
