    Nope. LeBron actually won FMVP versus Duncan, proof he was carrying his team. Meanwhile Duncan was carried by his teammates.

    Nope Lebron was carried as he had to switch teams in order to win and join a proven champion. Duncan created a franchise and turned guys into stars. Manu and Parker were late 1st round picks or even 2nd round.

    How did Lebron James lose to a Career Loser in Dwight Howard with HCA while having a 4x DPOY on his squad.

    Or why was Lebronze on multiple USA teams that led teams to bronze medals?

    And embarrass the United States of America twice with bronze medals?

    #1 seed lost to #8 seed, and 8 seed never won a playoff game in its franchise.

    Say it aint so! Timothy Duncan lost as a FIRST seed to an EIGTH seed that had ZERO ALL STARS and ZERO PLAYOFF WINS

    Lebron had 18, 17, and 18 points in the first 3 games, so he needed ray to force game 7

    Won the series with 25 on 44.7%

    Not dominant

    Barely won despite juggernaut supporting talent

    Facts:


    Regular Season

    MJ. 85-87':[COLOR="White"].[/COLOR] 31.7 ppg.. 2.0 oreb.. 3.6 dreb.. 5.0 apg.. 2.6 spg.. 1.2 bpg.. 57.1 ts.. 27.8 PER
    LBJ 06-08':[COLOR="White"].[/COLOR] 27.2 ppg.. 1.2 oreb.. 5.9 dreb.. 7.1 apg.. 1.4 spg.. 1.0 bpg.. 56.3 ts.. 27.2 PER..


    ^^^Yet MJ's teams only got the [COLOR="DarkRed"]8[/COLOR] seed, while lebron got the [COLOR="Navy"]2[/COLOR] seed and a couple 4 seeds.

    And MJ's stats are deflated by his injured 86' season (18 games at 25 mpg)




    Playoffs

    MJ. 85-87':[COLOR="White"].[/COLOR] 35.5 ppg.. 1.9 oreb.. 4.4 dreb.. 6.9 apg.. 2.4 spg.. 1.5 bpg.. 56.0 ts.. 27.4 PER
    LBJ 06-08':[COLOR="White"].[/COLOR] 27.5 ppg.. 1.4 oreb.. 6.6 dreb.. 7.3 apg.. 1.6 spg.. 0.8 bpg.. 53.1 ts.. 23.8 PER..


    ^^^Yet MJ lost in the 1st round and Lebron made Finals... ...

    Obviously, lebron's teams made up his statistical deficit to MJ with a better cast, as one would expect from a 2 seed versus an 8 seed. . MJ's 8 seeds compare better with lebron's 9 seeds from 05'

    Do you really have to spam your LeBron/Jordan bullshit in every single thread, even in a series that literally had nothing to do with them

    You love that gif, but must suck to know your favorite player is a gif or 2 away from having a Jerry West Finals record

    Since he won 2 Finals by one possession/bounce of the ball, we literally don't know if he's actually worthy of 3 rings, or whether he's really a 1 ring bum..

    It's just another reason we have to lower his expectation compared to MJ - MJ never went to 7 games in the championship, so his 6 rings are legit, whereas lebron might be Jerry west

    I posted stats showing that 06-08' lebron achieved 2-4 seeds and deep playoff runs with 27/7/7, while 85-87' MJ achieved 8 seeds and 1-9 with 36/6/7, yet you call it "bullshit"...

    Typical lebron stan denying the facts.. .. and Corporation is simply trying to point out that technically, MJ could've won his 8 vs 1 matchup
