    His 17-18 run to the finals without kyrie was the most impressive I’ve ever seen. He drug a dumpster fire that got completely turned over at the trade deadline to the finals

    As a LeBron James fan, I have to say that his 2015 playoff run was nothing short of legendary. It wasn’t just about his individual brilliance, but how he redefined what it means to be a superstar in the NBA.
    • Miami Heat “Superteam” Context: The narrative that LeBron only succeeded because he was part of a “superteam” is flawed. The 2011 and 2013 Miami Heat were favorites, but the 2012 OKC Thunder were widely expected to win, and by 2014, D-Wade was struggling with injuries, and Bosh’s performance was declining. The Heat had to adjust their lineup, moving Bosh to the 5 and LeBron to the 4, to optimize spacing. This team wasn’t as cohesive or talented as other top teams like the Celtics or the Thunder. Imagine a young LeBron with a defensive anchor like Rudy Gobert, an All-Star like Karl-Anthony Towns, a defensive specialist like Jaden McDaniels, and a savvy PG like Mike Conley - he would have easily won multiple titles.
    • 2017-2018 Playoff Run: LeBron’s 2017-2018 season was arguably his most impressive. Without Kyrie Irving, he led a team that underwent significant changes at the trade deadline to the NBA Finals. This run showcased his ability to elevate his teammates and carry a team on his back, proving his greatness beyond any doubt.
    • 2015 Playoff Run and Stephen Curry: The 2015 playoff run is a testament to LeBron’s resilience and skill. Despite losing key players like Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving to injuries, he still managed to push the Warriors to six games in the Finals. This run highlights why some fans view Stephen Curry differently. While Curry has had the luxury of playing with stacked rosters, LeBron has often had to do more with less. This disparity is why some fans see Curry as “privileged” compared to LeBron.
    LeBron’s 2015 playoff run changed the way we perceive superstars. It wasn’t just about winning; it was about the sheer will, determination, and ability to elevate those around him. This run solidified his legacy as one of the greatest to ever play the game.

    That Miami « Superteam » was only favorite in the 2011 and 2013 Finals, so saying the deck was totally stacked in his favor is revisionist history, in 2012 almost every states in USA tought the Thunders would win lol, and in 2014 Wade was washed, and Bosh on the decline … I don’t think we can call that a superteam, especially when you add context, Wade was a poor fit with Lebron, he was basically a 6’4 Lebron with worse shooting, that’s why they had to move Bosh at the 5 and Bron at the 4 for better spacing .. That team was nowear near as talented and cohesive as the Celtics or even the Wolves, Knicks, OKC, Clippers or Pelicans .. You give a 22 Lebron a 4x DPOY Gobert in his prime (Like Ben Wallace), an ALL STAR PF KAT (Like Rasheed Wallace), an ALL DEFENSIVE 2nd team player McDaniels (Like Tayshaun Prince), and a great 2 ways pg Mike Conley (Chauncey Billups) and he win 2-3 Titles ..

    MJ averaged 44 ppg in his sophomore season (17 games in his 2nd season) vs the '86 Celtics (#1 ranked D) but all we remember is that he LOST he didn't get ANY curveballs and his team was FILLED with cokeheads.

      Lmao. We hear about his 61 point game everytime someone has a performance close to it. You MJ fanboys are allergic to nuance because it almost always favors LeBron

      @@DamnTwitter what I was trying to say is that we do not CARE about how many points Jordan scored or averaged he LOST (I'm a bit too old to be a fan of another man no matter how great he was at his craft) what is remembered is that he put up big numbers in a loosing effort.
