    Default Lebron haters' arguments just look silly now that he pulled off the GOAT Finals

    ...performance.

    All Lebron fans can do now is just sit back, point and laugh.

    Lebron averaged 24 ppg and 6 turnovers thru 4 games, which is why he needed 7 games.

    That isn't GOAT dominance in a Finals - not even CLOSE - especially since he only scored 1-2 ppg more than his 2nd option

    His finals performance was pretty pedestrian when you factor in he was merely a ghost in the series until his primary defender was hobbling around like a 70 year old man and Warriors only legit rim protector was taken out of the series. And the opposing teams best player was at 50% at best.

    there is just nothing else to say. its over, he has cemented himself as top 3. what he did, against all odds was insane. I didn't think he had this in him, I don't think he always had this in him but he has grown so much as a player/leader/mentally.

    Jordan never did that in the Finals.

    You're right - Jordan never averaged 24 ppg and 6 turnovers through the first 4 games like Lebron did in 2016 Finals.

    This horrible performance is why Lebron needed to average 36 ppg in the last 3 games to come back.. But if he'd averaged 36 ppg for the ENTIRE series like Jordan did in 91-93 Finals (36/7/8), he wouldn't need a 7th game and therefore would've been more dominant like Jordan was.

    Also, Jordan faced greater defensive attention, since he averaged at least 12 ppg more than his 2nd option in every Finals, compared to Lebron's 2 ppg in 2016 Finals.

    That's because MJ had rebounding champions and All NBA teammates

    1. Jordan never played against a more talented team in the Finals (Suns were beat up). Def not a team as good as that warriors team.
    2. Jordan was NOT capable of doing what Lebron did defensively during that series.
    3. You better hope Lebron doesnt lead the Cavs past this Warriors team next year, bc then it starts getting a little murky.

    Jordan was a much better scorer and similar playmaker to Lebron. Lebron is on another level defensively, I've come to see this.

    In Pippen's entire career, he never averaged anywhere NEAR 27 ppg for a Finals like Kyrie did, or 25 ppg for a playoff run.

    Therefore, Jordan faced greater defensive attention, since he never had a scoring threat like Kyrie to take pressure off him - Jordan scored 15 ppg more than his 2nd option, compared to 1 ppg for Lebron.. It's no coincidence that Lebron shot 10 points WORSE in last year's Finals when Kyrie was hurt.

    Also, Lebron needed 7 games because he only averaged 24 ppg and 6 turnovers thru 4 games.. Jordan never played this bad over any 4 game stretch, let alone when it mattered in the Finals - that's why he never needed a 7th game - Jordan's playoff and Finals production destroy Lebron's.

    And Kyrie is a joke compared to pippen defensively...there's two sides to the game idiot.
