When LeBron announced that he would be leaving Cleveland to go out West to join the Lakers. Boyz started talking crazy about him not being able to dominate in the West like he did in the East!!! For the past 8 seasons all we’ve heard is cats saying that the only reason LeBron keeps getting to the Finals is because the East is so weak.
We heard this foolishness at every barber shop in ANY HOOD, USA, “If he was in the West he wouldn’t be doing all of that! No way would he dominate and carry boyz to the Finals like that. The West is too strong!!”
Just two and a half months into the darn season he’s got the Lakers, who were trash when he showed up, 2.5 games out of first place in the West!!! They are sitting in the fourth spot in the West right now behind Denver, Golden State and Oklahoma City.
They beat the brakes off of Golden State on Christmas night just to let a boy know they were in the building and LeBron wasn’t even on the floor after the midway point of the third quarter due to an injured groin. He’s even got the young boyz believing in themselves now.
They finished three spots outside of the playoffs last season with a bunch of young guys that didn’t believe in their ability to ball at this level. Now they’re taking care of business. Who said LeBron doesn’t make his teammates better? He’s been dragging terrible teams to the Finals for 8 years!!! Don’t even get me started about Cleveland.
They were the worse team in the league when he came back in 2014. Yes they had Kyrie but they were a dumpster fire!!! He took them to four straight Finals and won one with duns like JR Smith and Iman Shumpert. Keep in mind that they acquired both of them in a December 2015 trade with New York for a 2019 second round draft pick.
That means that the dun they traded them for was still in the darn 8th or 9th grade at the time of the trade and he still may not make the team. So they essentially gave Smith and Shumpert away for NOTHING!!!
When ole boy went to Miami, D. Wade was on the last leg and LeBron literally resurrected his career because Wade’s knees were shot!!! Miami was a 41 win team at the time. They weren’t a title contender until King James showed up!!! Stop it!!!
Now that he’s in the West and in two months has the Lakers relevant in the playoff picture tells you everything you need to know. All of the suckers that really thought this man was going to show up in the West and not be better than every player in the West was smoking. It doesn’t matter what team you put him on he’s going to the Finals.
In this case Golden State is the best basketball team we’ve ever seen so he’s not going to beat them by himself but he’s going to the Western Conference Finals you can believe that. However, if he gets some legitimate help, like Anthony Davis, he’ll drive right through Golden State straight to the Finals again. Well that all depends on how this whole groin injury works out. Stop me when I start lyin’!
