Westbrook and Durant performed better than Lebron in their first finals

[Marchesk]

They were both 23, Westbrook in his fourth season like Lebron was in his first finals, while Durant was in his fifth.

And they were playing Lebron's team! Also, they both did a lot better against the Spurs in the WCF.

2007 Finals
Lebron: 22/7/6.8 on 35.6 FG%, 20 3P%, 69 FT%

2012 Finals
Westbrook: 27/6.4/6.6 on 43.3 FG%, 13.3 3P%, 82.4 FT%
Durant: 30.6/6/2.2 on 56.8 FG%, 39.4 3P%, 83.9 FT%

Yeah.

Around that time, LeBron's jumper or lack thereof exposed him. Pop literally daring him to shoot for an entire series was something I hadn't seen or since.

NICE! They must have won with those impressive stats

Yeah. What is funny is that you will hear people say

Well, they didn't get swept and the refs failed to blow the whistle when Lebron clearly fouled KD on a jumper at the end of game 2 that the Heat ended up winning in OT.

The loss wasn't on Westbrook and KD underperforming. Harden shot poorly and Scott Brooks failed to make adjustments.

If LeBron had another star to take the pressure of him, his efficiency would’ve soared

So wait...

Lebron needed a sidekick to shoot well against champs?

Let's look at his pre-decision stats against champs ... Wow ur right - lebron shot horrifically against champs until he got Wade. So ur right - he needs a sidekick to shoot well against champs

Why did Boston sweep prime MJ and then get taken the distance by a team with 0 all-stars? I keep asking you but you keep dodging. Why is that?

[SouBeachTalents]

Well I guess LeBron will have to settle for performing better against a 73 win team than either of them did

Was that the year where Mike averaged 44, 6 and 6 or 36, 7 and 6?

Dude lost but he definitely didn't go down without doing everything he could as a 22 year old kid.

22 is not your prime. I'll excuse MJ for shitting the bed as a toddler. I'm talking when he was 24. MJ spread his ass cheeks that year.

At 24... Okay so I was right then

36, 7 and 6 then... 3rd year in the league while playing on a meh team.

I suppose that qualifies as an ass raping as you've aluded

I'd take 24 year old MJ over 34 year old MJ. Wouldn't you?

That 73 team must not be good as you make them out to be if all it took was a player that lost in 6 finals to lead his team to victory over them. Might want to try coming at it from another angle there chap.
