Lebron GOAT’d the frick out of that game and made a GOAT level play to win it with the pass at the end.

Lebron is the best basketball player to ever play the game.


Oh here we go..... it'd have been more GOAT level to just shoot it over Curry.

George Hill is so glad that no one remembers him missing that FT and instead everyone blames JR Smith for choking

Shows what a terrible BB IQ you have

What he saw and pulled off with that pass, in that situation is nothing short of GOAT.

Only thing short was Lebron winning the game with a "GOAT" play.

He hit a guy on a cut where Draymond completely fell asleep. Not quite as special as you think it is.

You don't think a simple "hey, forget about that, we got this" from Lebron to JR on the bench after that play wouldn't have helped? They lost the finals in that moment.

eta: Lebron punched the white board in the locker room after the game. He clearly never got over JR Smith's mistake. I would've expected him to be more strong mentally in that moment after the JR mistake is all.

The coach probably should've tried to rally the team there and shouldn't have put JR back in to start OT.

Exactly. Lebron was the coach. He was the most important person on that bench obviously. And he was defeated mentally. Tone at the top.

I can't stand Lebron, but how TF you want to blame his leadership there?


I'm no basketball fan, but I don't see it either.

James didn't get the rebound and take it back up court killing precious time. He was trying to get the guy to put the ball in scoring play pointing toward the hoop and was ignored long enough to have the clock run out.

That should have been in everyone's head from the last timeout to discussions before the free throw.


In JR's defense, he was stoned at the time.

I'm not talking about what happened on the court with the rebound. I'm talking about him just giving up on the bench after. I was a huge Lebron fan at the time and I still thought these things when this was happening.

Well, I've only got that clip to view and it cuts out with him on the bench looking pissed, and who can blame him with his teammate making that dumb arse move.

I don't follow basketball, so I have no clue what transpired after that clip ended.

Earlier that day JR tweeted about some rap beef and asked his followers who was winning it.

I remember talking with a buddy and saying yeah that's not a good look. He's not locked in.

Then this happened

Y’all really are no different than the whack arse far left liberals

How many times have you used MJ’s passion, anger, intensity, punching teammates in the fricking face, and everything else to make an argument that he’s the man?

Y’all use the EXACT same tactics the far left does with right vs left when y’all are discussing Jordan(or anyone) and Lebron.

I truly can’t believe y’all can’t see it.

The visceral, irrational hatred of LeBron is very similar to that for Trump.
