Every time Lebron loses is an excuse here and excuse there, not his fault, blah blah blah

Let me get this strait. There is still a GOAT conversation? I believe he’s 4-10 when it mattered most.
That’s like the 90s Bills proclaiming themselves the greatest Super Bowl team of all time at 0-4

LeBron isn’t a GOAT of anything but longevity.

Man whatever! If you can give a 41 yr old man credit when they win you can give the same 41 year old man criticism when they lose.
So if they win, Bron will be heralded, guaranteed!!
Therefore, if they lose, he can be “held” accountable.

I really hope the Lakers can pull it out tonight. Because their confidence continues to dwindle with each loss. I really wish they would not have brought Austin Reaves back. He is a poor defender, below average 3 point shooter, who scores by trying to create free throws. Lakers defense had been playing great, until they brought him back.

If Houston win there will be a shift of momentum. The Lakers will have their hands full even if they are the home team.

So when he wins he’s phenomenal because of his age, but when he loses it’s not fair because of his age. Yall gotta pick, he’s literally chose to play this long, this is on him

See this is why Lebron pressed you and you shriveled up. Wanna call him passive aggressive but you be acting like a bih lol
So since him losing pushes him out the goat debate to SAS then when he wins SAS believes he is the goat now. You can’t have a negative without a positive. And the consequences should be equal but opposite to the reward.
ITS OFFICIAL. SAS HAS LEBRON AS THE GOAT AFTER THIS SERIES!!!
