LeBron is WASHED and choking AGAIN

Yet another postseason, yet another underwhelming LeBron James performance for the vast majority of clutch time during an entire series. The Western Conference Finals have been a very competitive and closely matched series, with the Lakers getting a number of great contributions from role players. The difference has been in the fourth quarter where LeBron continues to no show.

Funny how they made fun of WestBrick for hitting the side of the backboard and ya king did the same when it counts 😂

This is the realist video. I've been saying for years that there's too many reasons why LeBron ain't it. Period

Jordan signature move - the fadeaway
Kobe signature move - the fadeaway
Kareem signature move - the sky hook
Curry signature move - the 3 pointer
LeBron's signature move- choking

Bron swept in 3 different decades.. 2007. 2018 . 2023 ... that's an 🐐 worthy effort achievement 👏

[twocents]

AD isn’t enough. Apparently he needs Kyrie too. Meanwhile Jokic and Butler don’t need the same help. Amazing.

The refs extended the lakers season and playoffs. Denver overcame it with great coaching and superior athletes.

If you ask anyone with a functioning brain and actually saw MJ play who you would take first on your team to win a must game or make a must basket 100% would say MJ !
END OF STORY

If you look at Bron's stats outside the paint, he's basically a bigger version of Dillon Brooks🤣🤣🤣

The fact that after 20 years lebron still can't shoot nor has any post game is astonishing.

[sixsimpson]

Laughed all the way through!!! Bronbuttboys still blaming Westbrook for all this 😂😂😂

[lut]

The fact that LA freethrow shooters are losing with help the league is pathethic. As a Lakers fan, I gotta admit, it's disgusting how the NBA is cheating for LA. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[JVO]

The Michael Jordan clip got me dying 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[donaldl]

Everybody seems to overlook his 11 Seasons in Cleveland and he only won 1 Title helped by Kyries game winner.

[meka]

Ref said we got you here now you're on your own😅

[haydenphoenix]

Love the clip of Jordan laughing as he's looking at the laptop after hearing Lebron saying " that win made me the greatest" lol😛

Media: Lebron is playing amazing at 38 years old!!

Also media: Of course Lebron cannot be amazing because he is 38 years old!!

In NBA Finals career, Michael Jordan faced 27 Hall of Famers while in those 6 championships series, with LeBron James facing 23 Hall of Famers in 10 series. Jordan has also faced more Hall of Famer players during Jordan's entire NBA career, with 21 of them facing elimination led by Jordan's Bulls over the years including:

Charles Barkley, Vlade Divac, Clyde Drexler, Joe Dumars, Patrick Ewing, Magic Johnson, Karl Malone, Reggie Miller, Alonzo Mourning, Chris Mullin, Dikembe Mutombo, Shaquille O'Neal, Robert Parish, Gary Payton, Dennis Rodman, Jack Sikma, John Stockton, Isiah Thomas, Dominique Wilkins and James Worthy.

Lebron James played in ten NBA finals with a current 4-6 record
Michael Jordan played in six NBA finals with a current 6-0 record

But what led to players like James to become proficient in today's NBA? The removal of the "hand check" rule.

From Nicole Ganglan (Basketball Network) in 2022:

"The hand check rule also helped prevent these perimeter players and ball handlers from going to the free-throw line. The rule was more popular than ever during the 90s Chicago Bulls regime when Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen dominated the perimeter. But eventually, the league removed the rule when Jordan retired because of the lack of perimeter production when the legend took off in 2004

As soon as the hand check rule was removed, average scoring in the NBA jumped by four from 93 to 97 points per game. The MVP awards were then won by combo guards like Nash (twice), Bryant, James Harden, and even LeBron James — lethal scorers who do their damage best by either driving to the hoop or shooting midrange and 3-point jumpers. Before the rule change, big men like Garnet and Tim Duncan won the MVP, mostly because of their defense.

The end of the hand check rule is one of if not the biggest reasons why the NBA is an offensive league today. It's the reason why a lot of Hall of Famers say that defense is a lost art in this era.

This significant change has led to an increase in scoring, specifically three-point production (I mean Steph Curry, Ray Allen, and so many players have made a life out of it) and is the reason why better offense will always beat better defense in today's game."

This goes to show that not only was Jordan a predominant force in the NBA, but also the league itself now needed to ensure that a worthy replacement was to become the face of the league by taking away one of the primary uses of defense to ensure that player comes along, and it was James. This was all due in part of Michael Jordan's retirement, that the league needed to remove a valuable defensive rule to replace his status, and James can be thankful for Jordan on this regard.

People complain about him choking the finals now it's the western conference he's choking.

[weswarden]

LA did bring in "key contributers", those guys in the striped shirts and whistles... those guys were LAs real MVPs 😂😂😂

Someone made a comment on YouTube and is said, “ nothing is worse than an old horse not knowing when to go back to his pastures”, when referring to Lebron James. How true
