I saw something the other day that Jordan played all 82 games nine seasons of his career. LeBron has never played all 82 games in one season. That's ridiculous. LeBron is soft

Jordan quit basketball for two years during his prime. Was he soft for that? 

[BtownBanner6]

If he was so great he wouldn't need help to beat this garbage Pacers team 

He doesn't need help, hasn't needed help and won't ever need help. He has dominated the league as soon as he put a jersey on.

And came back and won three championships like he had never left. That's not soft

Well either he was forced out or he went to fulfill a dream for his deceased father. Not exactly soft. 

Especially to go play another pro sport.

With the refs help. And dominated it so much to have a losing finals record?

Can you imagine the criticism LeBron would've gotten if he had quit basketball to go play in the NFL? He's held to a MUCH higher standard than anyone else in professional sports.

That's two years where he didn't have wear and tear on his body from the grind of the NBA. Who knows if he would've won 6 titles had he never quit.

He would have won 8 probably

You're honestly trying to justify that? And you completely missed my point. How can LeBron not have just one season where he plays every game? That's ridiculous

The "finals record" argument is the absolute worst argument in professional sports. It's basically saying that it is better to lose before the finals than to make it to the finals and lose. Would you think Lebron's legacy is better if was 3-0 in the finals instead of 3-4?

No it would be better if it was over .500. Like Kobes or MJs

[Brass Cannon]

That steal was more physical than most of the Pacers fouls

You don't think it would be better at 3-0? Why do you think we consider Jordan the best? Not only was he amazing but he was 6-0 in Finals while winning every MVP. And none of those series went 7 games. Incredible stuff that you just never see

Why is that even relevant? Is it s big deal if he misses a game or two in a season? 

[Brass Cannon]

Prepare for an uncalled foul

When people try to unjustifiably compare him to Jordan? Yes it is

Because it's better to make it to the finals and lose than not even make it at all. Would you rather IU lose in the national championship game or the sweet 16?

Are you just a LeBron fan or a Cavs fan?

LeBron. I've liked him since I was sneaking out of my room to watch his high school games when I was in 2nd grade.

[Dalton26]

I wish both the Pacers and Cavs could lose this series.

I'd rather they win it. 

Going 6-0 is more impressive than 3-4. 

 

Vogel would have won this game btw
