The sports media has changed since 2011. Instead of giving objective praise/criticism for athletes, it became about propping up their personnel for agendas. Before the whole coaching debacle with JJ Redick, 2011 was the last time Stephen A. really gave criticism to LeBron. And every time after this, he had preface his comments by saying Lebron is a good husband, father etc. All the other athletes got their share of criticism but Lebron couldn’t be touched even if he had bad performances. It’s just mind blowing to see now.

@@TheRealMindCrime Facts!!

[@Robss_]

To make an example. 2009 Cavs went from 1st defense in the league with lebron on the court to the equivalent of 18th when he sat. He allowed the lowest PPG, FG% and efficiency among all players at his position. He had a better defensive rating and more defensive win shares than Jordan in his 1988 DPOY season. He made all defensive first team and finished second in DPOY behind 3 times DPOY Dwight Howard. To say that he has never been an elite defender is just plain ignorance

[@Refining_Visionary]

​@@Robss_ An elite defender that never gets 100 blocks in a season or 200 steals? And no statistical titles? He was playing defense based on his athleticism. And it helped get them the best record in the league.

I never thought he actually played this bad because I was only 6 at that time, and since I was living in Dallas (which I still do) I picked to win this series and I'm still surprised to this day that Dallas actually won that series

[@trowabarton321]

I remembered vividly. He can only play one way. The LeSystem. He always needs the ball in his hands to control everything because his game is severely limited without the ball. No consistent post game, no off ball game except for cutting to the rim once in a while, no handles. His best "move" is just lowering his shoulder to the rim using his off arm to push off while taking 4 steps minimum before finishing. In Miami they played a real system, so once he played a high IQ team that actually plays like a real team in Dallas, he was lost. He didn't know what to do. Every playoff series before that, they just got by on talent. The best team they beat in the East was a D Rose led Bulls team, and he was the only player on that team that can create his offense. They should've beaten Dallas in 5. 6 tops. That's why Wade took a step back the years after, he was being a real leader and sacrificed his stats, played off the ball more, for the team, and let LeBron control the offense more. Because he knew that LeBron can't do it, he's never learned how to play off ball and he's not interested in learning because if he does then he'll have to sacrifice his stats, and he'll never do that. I don't mean to bring him up but that's what MJ did when Phil became the coach. He sacrificed his gaudy stats for the team. Bron is just not interested in doing that.

​​@@Kings0424 I remember the Bron-tards always bringing up that "LeBron shut down D Rose!" As a Bulls fan. I just laugh, because the 2nd best offensive player on the Bulls was slow Carlos Boozer who was only great in Utah because of the pick and pop offense with D Williams. He can hit a good midrange jumper but he can't create for himself. It's easy to defend the Bulls when nobody else is a threat on offense. The Bulls swept them in the regular season but Miami was just going through the motions. And Chicago played every game like it's game 7 in the finals. I knew we were still the big underdog. Defense was great but our offense was Rose. Then all of a sudden he can't guard an old Jason Terry and JJ Barea. And can't score on the post against an old way past his Kidd. And Rose was better than the 3 of them combined. And Dallas didn't even have their 2nd best player in Caron Butler. All around that's the biggest choke job in sports history. Miami had no business losing.

Kobe and Mike went to work when they lost and that was the theme of the post game. I’m gonna work my ass off and come back better. Lebron is out there getting defensive because his poor wittle ego got hurt and comes back with more all star role players so he can stack the odds even more in his favor. Anyone calling him the goat needs to check their own values. Do you pocket all the draw 4’s when you play UNO too? Probably roll your shoulders when you lay one of them bitches down too. 😂

[@TheRealMindCrime]

Its true. Thats why instead he tried getting even more help by trying to recruit CP3.

[@Blackbolt-411]

Im not sure Lebron has ever shaked the opposing teams hand after a finals loss

[@jordanjenkins1671]

One thing that I appreciate more about the former greats is when they made bold claims of what they would accomplish, they kept their word: - Bill Russell before tip off of the 1969 NBA Finals Game 7 told the new superteam Lakers their celebration balloons were staying up. - Moses Malone's iconic "4 4 4" was almost perfectly kept with a 12-1 playoff run. - If Larry Bird told you where and how he was going to score on you, he followed through with it. Not to mention asking who was coming in second before winning the three point contest. - He's not a great, but Jason Terry's championship trophy tattoo at the beginning of the season and playing as well as he did in the Finals to a victory is pretty hardcore. "Not 5 Not 6 Not 7 ..I really believe that.", "Playoff mode", "Keep that same energy" statements with zero follow-through shows LeBron just blows a lot of hot air.

This is very interesting to go back and see what the media was saying. I remember in REAL TIME it was bad. Happy he was able to recover. Can you do 04 Kobe in the finals next? He is my favorite player but I would like to see the coverage. 04 & 11 are stains on their resumes. 2 of the worst finals performances from a superstar. Crazy how both got better after those losses

So, this is the team LeBron recently said lacked the firepower. And it took an aged Stephen A to remind him who lost the series for the team. And watching those post-game comments, LeBron was even capping for himself back then.

[@TheRealMindCrime]

Yup. He now shifts the blame to the rest of the team. He wants his respect but doesn't want accountability

[@jammiebooker6489]

This one right here puts Dirk higher on my list of greats. Man has heart and played through a 102 degree illness and rose to the occasion. Plus he won that chip at 32...staying in the same franchise that drafted him the whole time. True champion.

[@TheRealMindCrime]

absolutely. Dirk is a real one. Dirk did it the hard way

[@DOLLAMAC190]

I believe he knew he wasn't going to win the finals mvp, had they won. So he just became uninterested. Wade was doing his job. LeBron wasn't. So he basically sabotaged the heat. Think about it. This past season, he was all in shooting crazy. As soon as he knew he wasn't going to win the all star mvp, he checked out and never went back in.

[@TheRealMindCrime]

I'm starting to think that played a big part too these days

[@thatguywesmaranan]

Thats one thing you always note about LeBron. Anytime someone asks about something HE could have done better, he deflects to the team when the question was asked about him.

[@TheRealMindCrime]

Exactly. Yet when they win then Lebron is all about "I want my damn respect"

[@AlexanderXLive]

His hair was doing weird things to me in those press conferences 🤔 but look how Whitlock question makes him shift his weight un controllably 🤔🤔 and notice it's all we when they lose but if they winning LeBron moves to the front solo. Nice tantrum at the end 👏👏👏

[@smoothALOE]

The only analyst I recall picking Dallas to win in 2011 was Marc Stein. I didn’t think my Mavs would get past the Lakers in the 2nd round, so once they did that, I was certain they’d at least get back to the Finals. The comeback in Game 2 was what made me a believer, though. I knew we could do it after that.

[@TheRealMindCrime]

I bet Marc made a killing in Vegas lol

[@derikirie9853]

May you're cranking them out. Let's go. I made 400 in bets that year because I knew he'd choke. True story.

[@TheRealMindCrime]

Wow good bet!!

[@mfinck01]

I’ve never understood why anybody talks about him as the GOAT. Only thing he’s great at is running and jumping for a man his size and even that is Balco enhanced. Mid passer, mid ball handler, mid rebounder, mid shooter… don’t you have to be GREAT at something to be the greatest?! Oh and let’s not forget the things he’s bad at like closing games, free throws and effort. If we were going to talk about anybody from this generation, it should be Steph.

[@jaredamiker7321]

The second he made that claim he knows he put himself in a hole 😂

[@TheRealMindCrime]

Yup. Then he did it again when he called himself the goat

[@tmoney360]

The amount of revisionist history LeBron fans have tried to do with this finals is hilarious. They want to act as if this series was so far back you'd think it happened around Russells Celtics. It was almost 14 years ago. I was in college. If you're over the age of 25 you witnessed this debacle and remember the story. The biggest cope job is when you hear apologists mention the Mavs sweeping Kobe and the Lakers. Yes that happened. And everyone outside of Dallas picked the Heat. They want you to view the Mavs as a sneaky Super-team when nobody viewed them that way. It's a meme now but the "not 1, not 2...not 7" looked like a possibility because that's how stacked that Heat team looked when he took his talents to south beach. Most people don't know that the 98 Jazz Swept Kobe and Shaq after a gentleman sweep of the Duncan/Robinson/Pop spurs after taking care of Hakeem and the Rockets. You want to know why that isn't mentioned like Dallas sweeping Kobe? Because it's not used as a coping mechanism to explain why MJ crapped the bed in the Finals and the Bulls lost the series. Not to mention i've seen some people actually LeBrons collapse is Wades fault because LeBron decided to defer to wade and it screwed up his rhythm. And i'm always going to remind everyone that he promised more than 7 rings but left after 4 years. It was always conditional on everything going perfectly. That's why he left without telling Wade and Bosh until after he signed with Cleveland.

[@IsaacMSingleton1]

Don't forget the reason nobody knew he was leaving miami was the hold up with him demanding Cleveland trade for kevin love, if they couldn't get love he wouldn't go there

[@J24J]

The look on Pat Riley’s face during Lebron’s “Not 1, not 2, not 3…” torrent of verbal diarrhea is classic. You know he was beginning to realize that Lebron is just an imbecile. 😂🤣 Riley was great because he did not put up with Lebron’s crap. Yet another great reaction from you!

[@TheRealMindCrime]

Thank you! And yeah i agree. Pat didn't put up with any crap from Shaq or Lebron. Pat's a real boss lol

[@josewickman5364]

I'm glad you touched on his comments after he lost because that's what made me dislike him. Such a sore loser acting like people's lives are worse than his because he has more money. Until then I just wanted Dallas to win because of the whole underdog storyline, but when he said that (and the 1,000 reasons he's given us since), it just made me want him to always lose. And in the end he'll only have won 4 out of 22/23 years :D

[@marcelelliott7554]

Bruh I lived in South Florida during this time and I watched that entire series and LBJ purposely threw that game. He wasn't tryna score he was missing shots he normally makes. He would be under the rim with the position for the rebound and literally wouldn't go for the ball. He would stand around acting like he didn't know what he was doing out there. Bruh I'm telling u everyone was like "WTF IS HE DOING HES BLOWING THE GAME ON PURPOSE" Wasn't a choke job it was a sabotage job frfr

[@wizmanballin8498]

And let me add this: It was specifically after this series I lost all respect for Lebron...ALL respect. Nothing he's done after has redeemed him for that nonsense. Lack of aggression, lack of will, lack of skill, lack of team mindset. He singlehandedly caused his team a title. And he did it the same way when he wet the bed in Cleveland in 2010 purposely throwing that series against Boston so he wouldn't face Kobe. His team was up 2-1...JUST like the Dallas series...and Boston won 3 games in a row. Those last 3 games? These are Lebron's numbers: Game 4 - Boston 97 - Cle 87 7-18 shooting, 22 pts (8 from the stripe), 0-5 3PA %0, 9 rebs, 8 ast, 2 stl, 1 blk, 7 TOV
