FromTheLand+FollowStop Comparing LeBron and MJ — Just Appreciate BothI don’t think LeBron should be ranked over Jordan or vice versa. Both are incredibly gifted athletes who achieved more than most could dream of. Funny enough, before they even entered the league, scouting reports listed shooting as a weakness for both. Decades later, they’ve both left, or are still building, legendary legacies. It is time to stop the GOAT war and just enjoy what each brought to the game. #NBA #LeBronJames #MichaelJordan #GOATDebate #BasketballDiscussion #MyNBAGOAT #Sports 51Share
Beth Holland+FollowLeBron Carried the 2013 ECF on His BackIn the 2013 Eastern Conference Finals—a grueling 7-game showdown—LeBron averaged more points than Wade and Bosh COMBINED. If you glanced back, it wasn’t because the Heat were dominant (unlike the Warriors), but because both Wade and Bosh were practically shot. In 2012, Bosh missed half the playoffs while Wade was battling knee and bench drama. By 2013, Wade was playing at maybe 70%, and Bosh looked like he’d been locked into a headlock for a decade. LeBron had to pick up the slack—and did it GAME AFTER GAME. Do people even remember how much LeBron REALLY carried those teams? #NBAHistory #LeBronJames #HeatEra #2013ECF #BasketballDiscussion #NBA #HeatLegacy #Sports 201Share
Beth Holland+FollowWill the Wolves’ 7-Straight First-Round Loss Record Ever Be Broken?From 1997 to 2003, the Minnesota Timberwolves lost in the first round seven straight years, which is an NBA record. What’s wild is that in today’s NBA, a streak like that probably wouldn’t even make it past Year 3 without a star trade demand, a roster blow-up, or a front office shakeup. The Wolves had the rare combo of a generational talent in Kevin Garnett and a front office that kept the core together despite repeated playoff heartbreak. Throw in the unique twist of losing multiple draft picks due to CBA violations, and you’ve got one of the strangest cases of team-building stubbornness in league history. Will any team ever match this mark in the modern era? #NBAHistory #Timberwolves #KevinGarnett #PlayoffStreaks #NBATrivia #BasketballDiscussion #MVP #NBA #Sports 150Share
