    For the 135th time:

    LeBron had a long talk with Stern in Vegas on April 2011 about how Miami winning it all would be bad for business. Bron agreed it would be best if Dallas won but he said he couldn't guarantee that Dallas would win even if he tried his best to throw the series. So Lebron picked up the phone and bought a 2% share in Liverpool F.C. and told Stern he would give it to him for losses incurred if Dallas failed to win. Despite Dirk choking, LeBron came up clutch for the NBA and Stern. Even though he has no use for the LFC share, he's kept it since.

    Why?
    He was injured all 3 of those seasons.


    Lebron was fully healthy and on stacked rosters from 09-11, what happened? How do you lose 3 straight to Boston and Dallas after being up 2 - 1 in both series with HCA? How do you lose 3 straight to the Warriors after being up 2 - 1 and at home in 2015? How do you lose 3 straight to the Spurs in 2014 with the series tied 1-1 with 2 of the 3 losses at home? And by a record margin?

    What happened?

    Maybe someone can help me out here because I want to understand the new espn goat criteria....

    So the new criteria for goat is to.... NOT win the most?.... and be the underdog MORE?.. Is that it?.. so no more winning... Losing is better? Do I have it right?

    Why should I ever doubt about MJ's ability to get me a ring?

    In contrast, anyone betting on Bran winning a ring better make a call to Silver first.... odds are out there plain to see.

    How could a team with 0 all-stars push a team to the brink while the GOAT MJ at 24 years old got swept by that same team a round earlier? Michael Jordan is a bald headed fraud and a product of a marketing deal between David Stern and Nike.

    How did the Cavs go 7 games with Lebron playing like he did the year before in the 07' Finals?

    Lebron 07' Finals:[COLOR="White"].[/COLOR] 22 on 36%.. swept
    Lebron 08' [color="white"]l[/color]ECSF:[COLOR="White"].[/COLOR] 26 on 35%... 7 games..

    Jordan 86' First Rd:[COLOR="White"].[/COLOR] 44 on 50%.. swept

    Those teams were a LOT tougher as we can see from the fact that they didn't get pushed to the brink by a team with ZERO all-stars.
    Oh, and also, 24 > 22
