I believe 2011 Finals was rigged. Lebron was ordered to take a dive.

Did Officials Help the Miami Heat in 2011?

Believe it. He is t super human.

[JohnFreeman]

There were rumours that he was told to throw it, but I think he just had a bad series.

[yellowlebron]

I have a hard time believing Lebron coud play that bad.

The true reason Lebron played shit was he realised that because of the way the Mavericks were defensively geared towards shutting him down, even if the Heat won, Wade would get FMVP. Think about it, what's worse? Lebron "choking" in 2011 or Lebron being confirmed as a true "beta", running to DWade's team and playing Robin to his Batman. The "choking" narrative is much easier to unwrite than the beta narrative. All that's needed to overcome the choking narrative is win some rings and play clutch, which he is more than capable of doing. The beta narrative is harder to unwrite, cos there is no guarantee that Lebron would win another ring. Think about it, DWade 2 FMVPS vs Lebron's 0 heading into the 2012 season. If I were Lebron, I'd rather sabotage the Finals than become a true beta.

Here are some stats to feast on:
Game 1:
Wade: 22/10/6
Lebron: 24/9/5
Game 2:
Wade: 36/5/6
Lebron: 20/8/4
Game 3:
Wade: 29/11/3
Lebron: 17/3/9
Game 4:
Wade: 32/6/2
Lebron: 8/9/7
Game 5:
Wade: 23/2/8
Lebron: 17/10/10
Game 6:
Wade: 17/8/6
Lebron: 21/4/6

It's pretty clear Lebron decided in Game 4 that he was just going to quit. He knew after Game 2/3 that the FMVP would be DWade's if the Heat won. So he made sure they lost.

people just played defense on Lebron

Of course LeBron tanked.

I don't know why but I think :

- maybe Mafia got to him
- maybe he didn't want Wade to win FMVP
- maybe the NBA instructed him to lose because the world hated him at that time

- maybe Dallas was just the better TEAM
- maybe the Heat had no answer for Dirk
- maybe Lebron just choked
- maybe the NBA wanted the Mavs to win after they stole title from them in the 2006 NBA Finals.

There were rumours that he was told to throw it,

For what purpose?

[JtotheIzzo]

maybe they just clogged the lane and forced him to take jumpers?

maybe they didn't have an answer for Dirk?

[Warfan]

Nah, the Mavs just executed down the stretch while Miami didn't. Bron was passive (the pressure got to him) and the defense clogged the lane and tried to turn him into more of a passer. The Mavs were on fire too...

And why would he be ordered to take a dive? Some illuminati bullshit

[JohnFreeman]

For what purpose?

I am not saying it's true, but apparently maybe some mob figures for betting reasons

Dirk actually played quite average that series, compared to the rest of his run.

Dwyane Wade was the best player on the court in that series.

Some of the games were officiated terribly too.

I believe in one of the games, the Mavericks didn't commit a single foul in the second half of the game. Through 3rd and 4th quarter, the Mavs weren't called for ONE foul. Not a single one.
