      ..anytime anyone criticizes 1 of the 10 best ever I laugh ....he has accomplished so much..any negatives are just petty splitting hairs and very biased way of trying to bring down one of the all time greats..end of story...with no off court drama like Kobe mj magic shaq all had or injury issues like bird ...

    Nobody ever ever ever gives Dallas credit for 11. Lebron didn’t collapse, we had 9 guys on our roster playing the best ball of their lives knowing they never would have another chance at a title. It was lightning in a bottle and Miami was so good they still punched us in the mouth. Dallas just happened to all career at the same time that’s why they beat Miami.

I justed hated that Miami didn't go 4-0 or at least 3-1, but it happens doesn't take away from LeBron greatest at all. Also makes me miss the Indian, Celtics, Spurs, Mavs (which is historically underrated) and Laker teams previous 2years last of good Kobe before injury, especially the thunder who everyone pick in 2k at the time. some good basketball those times.
