They always come full circle

Some are in denial, some are man enough to admit it.

Imagine bumping a thread over 13 years old.

10/10 loser.

No one cares about LeBarry....

The haters have had a field day this season, 10/10 enjoyable

Utter desperation.

I don't think Lebron has any "major" flaws...he has a few minor ones but I think his biggest failure is he's playing in the wrong era. He's had to play against super teams every year and his teammates always flame out.

As a frontcourt ball-dominator without elite jumpshooting skill, Lebron is bad at ball movement and team assists, so he lacks the teammate fits, development and brand of ball to win organically.

His spotty-shooting, frontcourt ball-dominance imposes spot-up roles that stall young players, thereby needing ready-made stars to win

That's not a "major" flaw, you can't point to a top fifty all-time player that doesn't have a bigger simpler flaw than that.

Not being able to play off-ball and have good teammate fits isn't a major flaw?

Without good teammate fits, he can't win organically (brand of ball) and must team-hop (talent-based winning.. all-star team strategy)

His dumb ball-dominator skillset was a perennial loser like Luka until the "decision" to form super-teams

Well, we know that his biggest flaw is that he doesn't have the killer instinct to do what it takes to win. Which is why he has a 22-33 finals record. His other biggest flaw is that he's inadequate in the clutch. To be fair though, he's managed to have an impressive career despite those flaws.

I wonder how he has more game winners than anyone else
I wonder how he has the highest elimination game ppg ever
I wonder how he has the highest game 7 GameScore average ever
I wonder how his game 7 stats are 35/10/6 on 49%

Team hopping onto stacked teams to play with top 5 players multiple times in his career with lots of ball domination. Playing in a historically weak Eastern Conference for the majority of his years. His entire prime played in an era where the rules were changed to free up scoring on the perimeter. The list goes on.

What am I deflecting exactly? I'm pointing out your lack of self awareness. LeBron never played with anyone as good as Durant.

Prime Wade was more clutch and couldn't be locked him down or roughed up like Durant - he led the 2011 Heat in playoff scoring, so he led 2 teams to the Finals (06', 11')

Healthy AD is just as good too - 2020 WCF MVP - carried Lakers to the Finals and led the entire NBA in playoffs PPG
