Dude your so bad. Go back and watch the 2011 finals. Bron was just bad.

And putting up 18/7/7 in a system like pops as the 2nd or 3rd best player is way different than putting up those stats as the man with ball in your hands more. This is something that bron stans will never understand.

But lebron was a top 10 candidate all-time and Kawhi was a 12 ppg player up until then

And lebron was exploited, while Kawhi was strategically positioned to be the critical scorer and often bailout/iso guy, aka hit all the back-breakers

The difference here is, one team won the finals while the other didn't.

I was really disappointed in LeBron's performance in 2011, but he redeemed himself the following season.

agreec he's definitely made up for it ever sense that series.

Against a finals maiden durant and his okc team

[HoopsNY]

The thing about that series is how Kawhi was non-existent in the first 2 games, but in games 3-4-5, Kawhi outplayed LeBron on the way to a gentleman's sweep. He was the difference maker in that series, especially defensively, and proved himself to be one of the best up and coming players. On paper, Kawhi's performance doesn't seem amazing, but when you watched the entire series, you knew otherwise.

Winnnn

[CodeBreaker]

Kawhi stepped up. LeBron choked.
