LeBron 2011...

In his 8th season, in his prime, flanked by two elite players, he made history.

Just retaliating G-Funk, Heavincent... not trying to bash Kobe, just cant let G-Funk run around with his fantasy as a Kobetard and act like he was awesome in his Finals and bash everybody else... all superstars in NBA history have underperfomed in a Finals series for at least one game or some even entire series, its only 4-7 games for gods sake.... one of the few superstars i cant remember ever underperforming in a Finals series or a single game was Michael Jordan... every other all-star/superstar have at least one horrible game there in his resume and most of them underperformed in at least one Finals series in a way...

So.. only Jordan fans can bash anybodys Finals performance with full comfort, Jordan was the most talented-skilled overall player ever afterall...

Damn Kobetards, stop ruining this thread with your Lebron butthurtedness...

Wtf are you 14? None of us have the right to come and bash another person on what our favorite player did. MJ can come in and bash everyone. Not his ****ing Stans. We are all here to support our teams, talk a little shit, but none of us had anything to do with what an NBA player did. And its pretty sad that one can live vicariously through player on a ****ing internet forum.
MJ played so-so against the Sonics BTW.
Lebron has played like shit.
Kobe has played like shit.
Shaq never had a bad finals. He was old with the Heat.
Duncan had so-so NBA finals.

MJ vs the Suns was the best I have ever seen. Duncan and Shaq had the others.

[Bladers]

The last great finals performance was wade at the freethrow line in 06.
