[Zach Lowe] "LeBron scored 39 points with 11 reb and 9 ast on 15/27 shooting in 46 minutes. He sat for less than 2 minutes and they were -12 in those 2 minutes and +7 with LeBron on this floor. LeBron has nothing to apologize for and anyone who is going to hold this over his head is a moron."

It's not like Jordan couldn't even make out of the ECF without Scottie or anything like that. I guess mj gets a pass for losing in the first round three times (when Lebron has never lost) but Lebron doesn't get a pass for getting swept in the finalsin his third year against a stacked Spurs team in their prime when he had a scrub lineup (no Mo Williams btw which people get wrong all the fucking time) and overall throughout all four games they only lost with a combined total of around 20. I guess it's a pretty soft move to try want a backup point guard but draymond calling up the second best player in the league to ask for help is a smart basketball decision. I guess averaging a triple double in the finals against a four all-star lineup doesn't matter. I guess being the first team to come back from down 3-1 doesn't matter. I guess staying in the game and being +7 but coming out of the game for 2 minutes and your team is -12 is his fault. Lebron James has nothing left to prove. He's been the GOAT since 2008. r/nba is full of morons
