LeBron's 2015 & 2016 Finals performances: "There are players in the league just to rebound, just to steal, just to score. And LeBron still did more than everybody"

In the 2015 Finals, LeBron became the first player in NBA History to lead both teams in points, rebounds, and assists in NBA Finals history.

The next year in the 2016 Finals, LeBron became the first player in NBA History to lead both teams in all statistical categories (points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks) in a playoff series of any length in NBA History.

Iman Shumpert on LeBron's basketball IQ, his leadership, and LeBron's innate need to share basketball knowledge with his teammates

I like how Iman broke down the difference between LeBron and Carmelo Anthony as leaders.

Carmelo wouldn't bother explaining the inner details of what's happening on the court to his teammates if they didn't immediately understand it.

LeBron, on the other hand, will take the time to break down the plays and the actions/opportunities happening on the court again in different ways to make sure his teammates understand it.

The time JJ Redick told Stephen A. Smith that his audience and many NBA fans prefer drama, narratives, and don’t actually want to be educated on basketball

Its sad that people rather invest in narratives that may or may not even be true rather than actually do a deep dive on facts/data when it comes to discussing NBA topics.

Tristan Thompson on the time LeBron scrapped the Cav's head coach, David Blatt's play for J.R. Smith and then proceeded to hit the game winner himself in the 2015 Playoffs!

This was Game 4 of the 2015 Cavs vs. Bulls series of the 2nd round of the playoffs.

Just another display of LeBron's brilliant basketball IQ. LeBron would often scrap many of Darvin Ham's plays too. There were multiple times where LeBron grabbed the clipboard and erased Ham's play so that he could draw up his own for the team.

Isaiah Thomas says LeBron James is the GOAT even though he has Kobe as his personal "GOAT".

Isaiah Thomas says LeBron has done more than enough to be solidified as the GOAT. He doesn't care if others continue to move the goalpost, LeBron has already done more than enough.

Norris Cole on the Miami Heat practice when LeBron James went at Dwayne Wade and then told Pat Riley: "I know it's different. I know D. Wade is y'all boy, but I know it's different!"

Michael Jordan (age 40) LOSES 1v1 to business executive, John Rogers (age 45), at his own basketball camp

The legendary Damon Wayans makes fun of MJ saying “…But at your own camp. Take that [Jordan] picture down and put up John Rogers right up there”.

John Rogers must have taken MJ’s trash talk and competitiveness personal.

The great Ralph Lawler on LeBron James: "I saw Bill Russell play. I saw George Mikan play. I saw Wilt Chamberlain play. I saw Oscar Robertson play. This guy [LeBron] is the best player I’ve ever seen.”

This was from 2018.

Him having seen George Mikan play is wild!

Charles Barkley says Steph Curry wouldn't survive the 90s: "If Steph Curry had gotten hit in the 90s like we did, he would have gotten broken in half. You really think Steph Curry wouldn't break?"

Rodman says LeBron would be the easiest guard of his life: ‘Only thing he has on me is his size, hes 6'10, I’m 6'6 but that don't mean anything. I’ll make him go left all day long." Rodman apparently doesn't know that LeBron is left-handed.

How bad was Kobe's infamous Quit Game where he blew a 3-1 lead in a Game 7?

In 2006 during Game 7 of the first round of the playoffs, Kobe made a historically controversial decision. He took only 3 shots during the second half of the game. He deliberately took no shots during the 4th quarter of the game.

The final score of the game was 121-90. The Lakers ultimately, fumbled a 3-1 lead.
