Lebron Regrets He Didn't Meet Kobe in the Finals

[3ball]

.
Lebron showed his inferiority to Kobe in 2011 - Lebron is CAPABLE of this:


[COLOR="Navy"]WADE[COLOR="White"]...[/COLOR] 2011 PLAYOFFS: 24.5 ppg on 48.5% fg[/COLOR]
[COLOR="DarkRed"]LEBRON 2011 PLAYOFFS: 23.5 ppg on 46.6% fg[/COLOR]

[COLOR="Navy"]WADE[COLOR="White"]...[/COLOR] 2011 FINALS: 26.5 ppg on 54.6% fg[/COLOR]
[COLOR="DarkRed"]LEBRON 2011 FINALS: 17.8 ppg on 47.8% fg[/COLOR]


Honestly, I can't remember a player ever losing with such a phenomenal 2nd option... Or 3rd option... 10-time all-star Chris Bosh averaged 19 ppg in the 2011 playoffs and Finals..

Kobe would've swept the Mavericks with this team... He damn sure wouldn't need to score 62 in 3 quarters.

Lebron really does respect Kobe. If only his fans could do the same.

It goes both ways tbqh.. but then again it's more fun when they're going at each other.

[Hey Yo]

the amazing thing is that the 2009 Cavs won 66 games - they had a 66-win team!!!

and it's not like Lebron's stats achieved the 66 wins - his 28/8/7/48% is inferior to MJ's 33/8/8/54% in 1989, yet Lebron won 19 more games!!!!!.... So we know his supporting cast was contributing..

nonetheless, the #1 seed, favored Cavs lost to the Orlando Magic, who then got destroyed by Kobe.

Regular season isn't the postseason.

[Dr Hawk]

Regular season isn't the postseason.

Tell that to Lebron

[3ball]

Regular season isn't the postseason.

Exactly - and at the higher level of competition in the playoffs, Lebron's rudimentary ball-dominant style often gets beat by equal or less talented teams (2009, 2011, 2014).

We've seen it time and time again.

Otoh, Kobe's game has so many layers.. You don't know what he's going to do and the defense can't gameplan as easily... Hence 5/7 vs. 2/6

[Wade's Rings]

Pretty crazy one of them has made the Finals the past 9 years, but they never played each other. Only once did they even make the conference finals the same year

Yea that's insane.

Kobe choked BADLY in 2011, which was the only realistic opportunity.

So when the Cavs were up 2-1 on the Celtics in 2010 and Bron lost the series shooting 34% with 6 Turnovers a Game during the last 3 Games they didn't have a chance?

This.

09 Lakers made slight work of a team that handled Lebron in 6. If lakers played Cavs, we're looking at a sweep, possibly 5 games.

So the '12 Pacers would've handled the '12 Thunder since they took the Heat to 6 Games while the Thunder were outed in 5?

Kobe would've swept the Mavericks with this team... He damn sure wouldn't need to score 62 in 3 quarters.

Kobe dropped 62 in 3 Quarters on the '06 Mavs not the '11 Mavs.

Kobe dropped 62 in 3 Quarters on the '06 Mavs not the '11 Mavs.

In 2011, Lebron's 2nd option averaged 27 ppg on 54% in the Finals (Wade), while his 3rd option averaged 19 ppg and 9 rebs (Bosh)...

Honestly, I can't remember a player ever losing with such a phenomenal 2nd option... Or 3rd option...

Only Lebron can foster BAD enough chemistry to lose despite all this talent.

If Kobe had this kind of help, he would've swept that Mavs team.

2009 Orlando shot lights out from 3
2011 was Wade ball (first option)
2014 Miami as a team was gassed.

Teams didn't know Kobe was going to shoot and shoot often?

You claim Bron was Miami's best player for 3/4 Rounds but Wade was the best player?

2014 Bron didn't play great in the Finals.

Those stats do look good, until you see starting center Joel Anthony avg. 1pt, 3trb and 1 block for the series.

So now Joel Anothony cost us that series.

[Hey Yo]

2014 Bron didn't play great in the Finals.

In the Finals Wade was.

Then Wade realized what he needed to do in the off season. Then we saw the results.

Is that what it was?

Fvckin clown

[Hey Yo]

So now Joel Anothony cost us that series.

Not implying that whatsoever.

He pointed out Wade and Bosh's avg. It looks great but the avg. are brought down hypothetically by 1pt, 3trb and 1 blk.
