LeBron XI WTL(US 9/13), Maison Collection(8/23) - Updated 8/18

[Nipsey3000]

I definitely agree that his career is far from over, but we can't take for granted how hard it is to reach the finals let alone win. With this aging team and his future uncertain, who knows when/if he'll make it back.

With that said, back on the shoe topic, Nike just release WTL and move on from the XI. Fade quietly into the 12.

Exactly, so you should reserve judgement to when his playing days are over.

Whether he stays in Miami or leaves, I guarantee that lebron is going to put himself in a position to win championships right away.

I would say lebron has 10 years left in the game barring he stays healthy. If the over/under were 4 finals appearances I would definitely put my money on the over.

If lebron leaves, he will join a younger title contender that has at least decent big men in place.

Told my BF I'd keep Cole and trash everybody else. He's a problem if they work on his scoring. He should be on the same level as Kawhi. Spo is failing him.

except Cole is a ******..lol

Nice I like the other game that was remastered for ps4 *forgot the title...* I just need a few quality games. This next gen is slow paced. Graphic wise is amazing

LAST OF US .. coming out july 29.. been waiting on that too.  started playing watch dogs, but didnt finish.. maybe ill try and play it.. last of us might be the best game i ever played..

He'd make it back next year on the Heat because the east is terrible.

Reserve judgement? Lol this isn't Judge Judy. I'm doing as a sports fan/commentator/analyst would do. Judge him in his body of work AT THIS point and time. The facts are he has been to 5 finals in 11 years (albeit that is highly impressive) and has ONLY won 2! Even if you scrub the Cleveland final, he's 50%, which in one he completely gave up.

I definitely respect Bron and his game, but how do you self create a situation with 3 of the best in the NBA and still come up 50%? That alone goes to my point that championships aren't guaranteed. Thus, another reason why his finals record has me scratching my head. It is totally possible that LeBron could never win another ring. Hell it took the Spurs 7 years and they have won 50+ wins a season for the last 15+ seasons. Finals trips just aren't promised, let alone championships.

Right, making another finals and worsening his finals record. This team, as currently constructed cannot win another title. And it's hard for me to see how they could maneuver into a better situation given their salary issues. Heat will need a MAJOR re-haul (break up big 3) to be championship successful, in my opinion.

Why? It's not like it's his first one...

Or is it cause the XIs are good enough for an NBA champion... just not LeBron James?

Because a guy playing LeBron in the Finals won an NBA championship wearing his shoes...pretty self explanatory.  

 

[iname]

he's career is far from over tho.
Kobe done, Jordan done.
Bron still has chances and WILL get more rings.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that just doesn't see it for Kobe. He is a legendary player, a great player and had an amazing run but I don't think he'll ever win a championship again.

I wldn't mind seeing how the pack wld of looked like, but it's kinda sad knowing that the man himself didn't hoop in the shoe for except probably 3x's this year total

I wouldn't call it sad. its old news and its actually understandable when thought is given. its not a bad basketball shoe by any means.

 

[rl_wayne]

It's still possible for them to release some kind of Finals related shoe/pack, just obviously without the "championship"/"celebration" label. Back in 2011, they still released the Lebron 8 V3 Finals in August/September, even though they lost to Dallas.

That's the crazy part...I put on the Gamma's, my feet were in pain, but I put on the DM's they felt great. So, I'm confused as to why they didn't feel good on Bron's feet??? I know Nike cld of fixed that for him real quick and easy

ok finals warm up pack

 

[rl_wayne]

Never said they had anything good/relevant they could release, just that they could still release something if they wanted to, going by what they've done in the past. Most memorable shoe he wore in this year's Finals was probably the Elite Xs from last year. I wouldn't mind a restock on those
