This game will not define Lebron's whole career but it is a crucial test. Michael Jordan would never allow his Bulls to lose in this situation. I know it's going to be difficult. Boston is a very strong defensive team at home. No Kyrie no excuses for Lebron though. He has to win this.
Lebron supporters like to say that Air Jordan had Pippen. Well, Pippen didn't really become a top 50 player until later on after about 3 seasons. After playing with and against Jordan. Jordan made Pippen. Anybody that thinks otherwise is clueless. You get better in video games and sports by playing people better than you. That's fact. Pippen was scrimmaging against the best player in the world.
Lebron meanwhile has had established superstar Kyrie, Dwayne Wade (this beast already won a ring without Lebron), even Kevin Love, Bosh (meh) Ray Allen etc. I mean this guy had more all stars and help than Jordan. Jordan once scored 45 points out of about 88 (or something, I know it was under 90) in a playoff win when Scottie was sick and only scored 8 points! The man does not let his team lose! The first season he got a decent sidekick he won a championship. Lebron gets Wade and Bosh etc and he couldn't win it. Little Barea got his first ring off Lebron.
Jordan had to fight battles against 50+ win teams just to get to the Finals. Lebron always had a cakewalk to the Finals or at least to the conference finals. All the superstars he's had and he only has 3 rings. He should've won that Finals against Mavs. No excuse there.
Nomore excuses about not having enough help. I don't care if Kevin Love is out. Lebron has been playing amazing. Almost seemingly getting better at his age when others would be slowing down and getting worse. He is shooting better than I've ever seen. He's passing, rebounding and at times he's so dominant that he is toying with his opponents, especially the Raptors lol. But he has to win this game with no Kyrie.
I don't know why people compare him to Air Jordan. I can see why they'd compare Kobe to Jordan but Lebron? Forget it. Lebron loses this game and it makes the argument even more comical. Winning it doesn't get the argument merit though. Only thing that will give it one iota of merit is if he beats this stacked Warriors team and that will never happen.
Lebron will never be close to Jordan. It wasn't just about Jordan being better. Jordan has charisma and this intensity about him. He had this aura about him. He left you mystified. Lebron has been doing some amazing things this season but he has to win this game or it's all for naught.
Why does Lebron always get such high expectations? Well he's the self proclaimed best player in the world. (he is) He's already tooting his own horn. Always tweeting about how he ages like fine wine after a great performance. He's a linebacker size playing that position on the court so he SHOULD be dominating.
This is it. Lebron is the most cerebral player in the game. Physically dominant and he's been shooting better than ever. Let's see what he does in a very tough environment today.
I really don't know if Lebron can win this. He should but if his role players absolutely shit the bed which is quite possible on the road against a good defense then who knows.
I am guess he doesn't vanish like he did against Mavs.
This is a very high point total but I believe Lebron isn't taking any chances tonight! He's going to put it in his own hands and put up a monster game. I know it's a very high total but....
LEBRON JAMES - OVER 37.5 POINTS
That's the pick. I'm going big. I was hoping it would be 35 or 36 but I'll take it.
I posted this here because it's not just a pick it's a discussion about his legacy. I know that no matter what the outcome we will have plenty to say about the result and his performance.
