What 7 game stretch? You still don't have your facts right. You need to go look up those games before you make more "estimations". At this point, you have 0 credibility.
I already gave you the details of Lebron's and his teammates' performances against the Lakers during the 08-09 and 09-10 seasons. How can you still say that that one single game out of the four meant enough to convince someone to acknowledge this so-called fact that Lebron did something no one had ever done before? Is it because it was a Christmas game? Is that what you had wished for Christmas that year? Sorry to burst your bubble, but there's no Santa Claus.
Why do you keep saying that without providing any credible evidence to back it up? Tell me which players were injured, who did they play against during that stretch, what were Lebron's numbers, what did his other teammates do, did anyone else step up their games, etc. I can't just take your word for it. Come on, do some digging.
And about that sentence that I have underlined: ARE YOU AN IDIOT? How can you still say that they only lost Lebron? Their entire starting 5 was different. Are you telling me that those players were pretty much the same, that if Lebron went back to Cleveland now, he would still take those scrub rookies to 60+ seasons? Get a clue already!
And one more example about players getting injured, team's struggles, etc:
Dallas was 25-5 (best record behind SAS) when they lost Nowitzki to knee injury last year, and went 2-7 without him. They continued to struggle two more games after he came back (averaged 22.5 mpg in those two loses). He even admitted that he had rushed his return because of his team's struggles. Then, guess what? They beat
THE LAKERS in their third game (what an unfortunate coincidence for you
), and got back on the right track and went on to winning it all. Now tell me, how is that not more impressive? It was proven that they were trash without him, but with him they WON the chip, and Butler didn't even play a single minute in the playoffs.
Those two Cleveland teams had great chemistry, and everything was built to complement Lebron. They had great success in the regular season, but came up short in the playoffs. Why are you trying so hard to make it seem like an earth-shattering accomplishment? Was it MVP worthy?
Yes. Did he win it?
Yes. Do you want him to get more credit for it?
Yes. Do I know why?
Yes, because you're a hopeless Lebron-homer!
This one is my favorite. You must have really thought that this line was cuter than your initial one (
insert tacky joke related to Sandunsky incident)
I'm still laughing that you felt the need to go back and edit your post to change it to this. It melts my heart.
