      After his failure in the 2011 finals lebron basically turned into God mode for the rest of his career. I'd argue that the 2011 collapse was a blessing in disguise because it made Lebron confront his weaknesses. He's been great in the regular season but come playoffs he turns into a different animal. If he needs a win, he will get his win (unless his teammates start choking like they did during game 4 of the 2023 WCF or JR smith in 2018).

I’ve played, coached, watched, and loved this game for almost 3 decades. I can tell you unequivocally that Lebron is not and will never be as efficient of a player as Jordan was when you break things down finely with percentages and actual mathematics - not to mention that Jordan would rather lose a limb than lose a playoff game and Lebron simply never had that mindset. He’s a GREAT player, don’t get me wrong. The best this generation has seen in their lifetime probably. But he’s not the GOAT by any means

      The 2015-16 Warriors Team that went 73-9 was essentially the same roster from 2013-14 that went 51-31 with Mark Jackson as head coach and then in 2014-15 went 67-15 and won the championship with Steve Kerr as head coach (and the Cavs had them down 2-1 before losing 4-2). The story has evolved since that time to make it seem like the Warriors were already a "super team". They weren't. Steph was just beginning his ascension to what we know him to be now, and Klay was healthy and the second best shooter in the league, and they could just outshoot all of the competition while playing great team defense. Hell, they had Harrison Barnes and Andrew Bogut starting. Their roster top to bottom weren't world beaters, but they had great chemistry. When they added KD to the Splash Bros that was simply too much elite shooting for anyone to overcome. You had three guys on the roster capable of going off for 8+ threes in a game. 2019 was fate breaking up an unbeatable union.
      Well, fate and Draymond Green. lol
