    Default A concise comparison of "carrying" ability

    1) Dirk won 67 with no cast (07')
    2) Dirk overcame goat talent deficit (11') - no star teammates vs 3 prime stars
    3) Dirk carried a lottery cast (a team that was lottery the prior year) to a low seed and 7 games with the champs (14')


    Compare to Lebron:

    1) Lebron won 66 in the weaker East
    2) Lebron only overcame a talent deficit once in 07' ECF (a smaller deficit than Dirk's 11'), while his Big 3 matched Curry's in 16'
    3) Lebron failed 3 times to carry lottery casts to playoffs (04', 05', 19')*


    *Lebron couldn't drag lottery casts to low seeds/underdog matchups in 1st Round, and only made playoffs with high seeds, good teams, and easy 1st round matchups - this inflated his early playoff resume compared to other stars who were good enough to carry lottery casts to low seeds and underdog 1st Rd matchups


    CONCLUSION: Dirk carries teams better than Lebron and Lebron's carrying ability is vastly overrated (only made playoffs with high seeds/good teams, and 07' was his only time overcoming talent deficit, which was a smaller deficit than Dirk's 11' Finals)

    300+ threads. You’re addicted to LeBron and it’s scary. I’m surprised you’re able to post in a straitjacket.
