“Bron was only 21” - Excuses by Bron fan boys why USA lost
21 year old Mike before playing a NBA game led team USA to gold in 1984. Michael with only college teammates went 8-0 and won on an average of 32.1 point differential per game against grown men 🐐
@FateOfDUniverse@Stats_N_Facts@BrickCenter_ Latveria was in help but he wasn’t supposed to be, he supposed to take marcus smart guy if he rotates to shooter. Then if the ball somehow gets reversed all the way from corner to top luka or bron( whoever recovers 1st) is gonna be in the corner for the last rotation.
@Back3ndLand0@Stats_N_Facts@BrickCenter_ Wrong, because that layup was already being contested by two people. LeBron helping left his man wide open and that forced reaves to switch off his man, leaving his man wide open for the 3. It's best to force a contested layup than leave your man open for a 3.
playing correct held defense. the guy that messed up the rotation to start was leaving the strong side corner shooter (LBJ is the weak side low man--that's who helps on the drive), Reaves splits/zones between his man and LBJ man, and after the pass out, Smart needed to rotate to the shooter.
@Stats_N_Facts@BrickCenter_ LeBron didn't need to help. #12 was already down low ready for the layup. And by LeBron leaving his man open, #12 had to run out of the paint just to try and pick up on the shooter.
Remember when MJ ran up on Stephen A Smith for saying LeBron might be the best 20 year old he's ever seen.
MJ was so mad at him for saying this he pulled up in the black SUV to let him know he has 6 rings.
What does 6 rings have to do with being the better player at 20 years of age?
MJ didnt have any NBA championships at 20 years od age so it's completely irrelevant to the argument.
This just shows how jealous MJ was of LeBron for being considered better than him at 20 years old.
LeBron was in the middle of his 3rd year in the league and MJ STILL had to mention championships like he already had 6 at that point in his career.
Imagine a 42 year old MJ being this jealous of LeBron.
No wonder the media had been against him for so long.
It's why ESPN keeps this clown on TV just so he can badmouth LeBron every chance he gets.
MJ has been behind this the entire time and it's so obvious in different ways they cover them.
MJ gets non-stop praise while LeBron gets non-stop criticism.
And even with the blatant media bias, LeBron still came out on top.
