Lebron's advanced playoff stats > anyone.

http://bkref.com/tiny/AVJ3Q

Oh you knew this was coming. Now get out of my city, get out of my life dudes.


Happy 2013, (nothing personal in all honesty). Oh and the Heat did it all while getting fucked by the refs the last 14 games.

Agreed on Lebron.

But LOL at the Heat getting fucked by the refs.
 
When watching a superstar player with HOF skills play for someone else, it's hard to gain a true appreciation of what they are. I remember hating HATING Michael Jordan when he was playing, and would root for any team playing against him, thought he was an egotistical jerk who had respect for no one and never seemed to get the comeuppance he deserved. Same with Dr. J, Kareem, Magic, Bird, etc. Of course, I cherished and worshipped players like Bill Walton and Clyde Drexler because they were playing for MY team, and was pissed that they (by my worldview) didn't get the same attention and adoration from the national media and other team's fans.

Of course, in retrospect, I have nothing but respect and admiration for what Jordan, Kareem, Erving, Magic/Bird, and all of the other megasuperstars were able to do. I'm sure that time and perspective will do the same to LeBron, and I'll be able to say with sincerity "I remember when I watched him play, boy, was he great!". But right now, he's the cocky, self-absorbed enemy with the "Not one! Not Two! Not Three!" proclamations that make me root for him to get slapped back down to where the rest of us are.

I kind of feel the same way. Although I dont hate Lebron like I use to hate Jordan and still hate Kobe. Probably because his success hasn't come at the expense of the Blazers yet. I usually root against the big names in general just because I like the underdog and I hate seeing a team that's not mine dominate the league for multiple years. That being said, Lebron earn this one and was a little lucky, most successful people are a combo of luck and skill though. Lebron's skills are impressive to watch.

Feel free to get out of our forum, dude.

The Heat got screwed by the refs? lol. Laker fans, east coast style.

Go Blazers
 
You should be telling this to the thousands of fans who didn't get to watch OT of game 6.
 
It was hard to be happy for LeBron and the Heat because of how shitty their fans are.

Case in point: this thread.

Edit: Thanks Wookee.

Near the end of last night's game, as it was clear that the Heat were going to win, a big-titted, blonde middle aged woman with more plastic surgery than Michael Jackson got up from her courtside seat and started dancing and waving her arms like she had just won the lottery. Never have I been more seethingly disgusted at a fanbase such as Miami's. They make Laker fans look like diehards.
 
There's something wrong with the database. Players are shown only for their peak years, not all their playoff games as the heading claims.

Edit: Huevon specified age 24-28, to massage the data. I see.

Refs gifted the Heat at Stern's command. Spurs quite clearly won it in 6.

Sorry but the nation was douchiest. Everyday there was some new nonsense to complain about. It was hard for me to feel sorry for haters because their hatred is illogical.

The country doesn't have to like certain players, but that doesn't mean it gets to be ignorant about advanced metrics.

Also this was hardly all the boasting I should have done, I was humble. I never say bad things about Portland, for the record. ;]

Oh how rude of me to use Playoff PEAK season data to compare Playoff PEAKs.

Perhaps you should take a nap or something now. :P

So, about halfway through his career, Lebron is about 3/4 of the way to matching the all-time playoff win-share total. I see that he has 11 win shares over the past two years; if he repeats that over the next two, then he passes Jordan.

After his peak years, his average will come down in his advancing or injury-filled years. Then we'll see a meaningful comparison to retired players.
 
He's still young that's the thing. LeBron was a great jumpshooter this year anyway, better than Allen on open looks.
 
Yeah, he was a big Kobe fanboy a few years ago.

Hey, maybe the truth we are supposed to learn in this thread is that he is just another bandwagnoner, like so many other Laker fans.

Go Blazers
 
I am just gonna root for the title favorite every year too, sounds like a hoot

You will really have to step up your game if you want to be as obnoxious as a former Laker fan.

Here's a tip. Be sure to go to other team forums to beat your chest when they win, as if you actually had something to do with it.

Go Blazers
 
Sorry but people get smarter as they age, so I had to root for my boy.

And I root for players not teams, I argued with a few Heat fans this season.

Why again are you posting this crap on a Blazer board? Does anyone here give a fuck? I know no one in Miami does, but still.
 
"Oh no! People are talking shit about the Heat in a Portland Trail Blazer forum and it pisses me off :MARIS61: "
