LeBron James is Overrated (2016 Finals Review)

Part IV of the ongoing series examining the most overrated player in NBA history. This installment explores the Cavaliers 2016 NBA Finals win over the 73-9 Golden State Warriors. But is the feat...overrated?

I will always love Dirk for beating Bron in the 2011 Finals. That whole team was heavily stacked against the odds and they still came out on top. Truly one of the greatest underdog stories in sports ever.

Steph was injured. Draymond was suspended for the crucial game. Bogut was also injured and severe enough to miss games. All that taken into account, it was an extremely close series and Cavs barely beat Warriors 4-3 and Kyrie’s last shot in game 7 was the difference in the end (had he missed it, the warriors might’ve won that championship). The media made it sound like that without KD, Warriors would have ZERO chance against LeBron’s Cavs. The so called experts!

[zacharaymosley]

I personally think Dirks championship was better than Lebrons 2016 one tbh.

[tmd]

I see why Kyrie left, he put in all that work just for LeBron to say that win made him the goat.

The thing with LeBron’s GOAT argument is that you have to explain so many points that it becomes confusing. If it’s so complicated to come up with a good GOAT debate for a player, then they shouldn’t be in the GOAT debate.

Please never stop these videos, I don’t want my son growing thinking lebron is the goat 🤣

[FallouFitness_NattyEdition]

You deserve way more subs for these videos. Never stop telling the truth about Bron's overrated legacy.

Kyrie is underappreciated for his 2016 title run man. No wonder he wanted to leave Lebron. Playing on the same level as Lebron and outplaying the MVP Steph?! Sheesh!

Facts

Also if LeBron didn’t start that altercation with Draymond game 5, Draymond getting suspended game 6 if I can remember correctly, Cavs would of been out in 6. Draymond unusually balled out offensively gm7 led GSW that game.

I hate when people act like before LeBron and the Cavs came back from 3-1 that the 73-9 warriors were just some unstoppable force no one could compete against when KD and Russ were literally up 3-1 on them blowing them out in 3 out of the 4 games. You're telling me MJ and Pip and the Bulls wouldn't be able to do anything vs them??? Give me a break

Damn near every ring Lebron has he was saved by a teammate

[bmwracer]

The sweeps in 2017 and 2018 were so very satisfying that it took the sting out of the 2016 loss.

[stevem]

Kyrie Irving saved that series from being another embarrassing sweep to an already heavily blemished resume. 3 times to be exact. GSW went 15-9 during postseason, consisting of a 3-1 near gentleman's sweep by OKC in the WCF. Luckily for them, nobody besides KD could shoot their way out of a wet paper bag to close out. Can you say postseasons adjustments to a 1 Trick Pony that literally lived and died by the 3? How does adding 1 KD turn a 7 game series into back to back ass whippings of epic proportions? It makes 2016 look questionable at best?

[davidmeza]

“LeBron Stans” 😂🤣😭💀💀💀

Line of the century!

[paulusrumanouw]

Very nice assessment. Kyrie was EQUALLY instrumental in Cleveland winning that title. If Kyrie wasn't performing at such a high superstar level, they would not been champ. This is the same case as AD for the Lakers title.

[dimitriclarke]

Lebron know he not good he had to get draymon suspended to win

[ShutThePuck]

Curry's injury in the 2016 playoffs gets overlooked because the LeBron propaganda machine won't allow it to be a factor. The unanimous MVP couldn't get separation on Kevin Love on the perimeter... He was torching every defense prior to that MCL injury and was rushed back after just 6 games - anyone who has had an injury like that knows that if you are rushed back you might be able to perform well in the short term but the longer you play the worse the injury becomes and you run the risk of a full tear if you don't let it heal properly. Curry was clearly hobbled and the Warriors were still up 3-1 until LeBron called in a favour with the league office and had Draymond suspending after HE threw Draymond to the ground and stepped over him, preventing him from standing up without making contact with LeBron, subsequently without Draymond for the next game the Warriors lost AND lost their only rim protector against a team with 2 of the best drivers in the league.

[johnboyette]

You also forgot to mention the Cavs had the highest payroll in the NBA. All twelve players had been an all star at some point in their career

[sean]

His defense been ass for years and he makes 1st team all defense and "can guard all 5 positions" SMDH.
