'12 LeBron James - The Greatest Season of All Time?

[SouBeachTalents]

Its funny how duncan whooping lebrons ass in the finals has led his legion of stans to decalre war on him. Duncan hasnt garnered an ounce of disrespect before he faced lebron and beat him.

He wasn't Finals MVP in any of his series against LeBron

[T_L_P]

his finals are arguably top 10 according to you. that IS one of the greatest ever.

simply breaking it down and comparing it to the other top 30 players of all time (33%) and 30 finals they made is silly. there have been thousands of nba players since the league was created. when we create all time lists, we compare said players to not just their peers and guys with similar numbers, but all players from previous eras.



you misspelled your. please correct that, ok?

Edited the post. I'd appreciate you unquoting me so nobody notices the mishap.

I'm glad we're in agreement. Top 5 season, top 10-15 Finals. Production, as per, goes down on the toughest stage, against teams from the infinitely better conference. But he made up for that with his performances against his Eastern foes.

but, i never agreed with you. i believe lebron's season, when we include everything in my OP, is at least top 3 and probably the greatest in the modern era.

where just his finals rate, im not sure. but that isnt what this thread is about.

doesnt matter.. he guaranteed victory against your team and you and your leader tucked tail.

It does matter, you claimed Duncan kicked LeBron's ass, yet LeBron's won more Finals MVP's in the series they've played against each other

LeBron's '12 season is one of the greatest, not the greatest. Other legends have comparable seasons to LBJ's '12 campaign. Gotta give credit where credit is due, after Bron's dismal '11 Finals, the cat came back with a vengeance.

Everyone else realized after 2011 that Jordan > LeBron

Why u hate bran?

Why you hate Jordan/Kobe/Wade/Bosh?

Why you hate Jordan/Kobe/Wade/Bosh?

I Like Jordan

Wade was amazing from 03-10 Great in 2011 Pretty good in 2012

Bosh was great 03-10 Good in 11-12


Just not Kobe

We now know how inexperienced and basically bad at basketball the Thunder were at that time, despite their young talent.

Boy you just come off like a total retard when you're not copy&pasting over posts from other boards.. Clown.

It was a great individual season (especially considering the circumstances) and top 3 since MJ retired, along with Shaq 00 and Duncan 03 in some order. MJ's 91-93 were greater though, as was Hakeem 94-95. Nothing to be ashamed of.

[tmacattack33]

I would have one or two of Shaq's years ahead of it.

I also like to look at a period of at least 2 years when talking about peaks, so as to get rid of isolated hot streaks...like Dirk's playoffs in 2011. And so 2000-2002 Shaq would beat 2011-2013 (or 2012-2014) Lebron.

[ILLsmak]

One of the greatest, but 2000 Shaq or any Jordan season from 88-93 would top it or be close.

Yea SHAQ cuz of the rest of his team. 2000 Shaq is mad underrated and the team was not a playoff team without him.
