Yikes.

Christ this is a stupid and useless graphic

 

[Platinum State]

Purple would've set it off, Idk why they added blue, it looks like a Timberwolves jersey with a deer on it.

They put blue because it represents the blue collar work ethic of the city and state
Bucks unis are fuego anyway you slice it.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

They're not.

I'm watching ad and pg go at it right now

People need to stop posting this graphic. The reason LeBron hasn't beaten many 50-win teams in the postseason is because the Eastern Conference has been complete garbage his entire career. Since 2006, LeBron's first playoff run, the East has never had more than four teams make the playoffs with 50+ wins. And that includes LeBron's teams. Most seasons, it's only been one or two other teams. If the maximum number of 50-win teams you can play is one, maybe two, per playoff run, then it's kind of hard to compete with someone like Kobe, who has gone through Western Conferences where every playoff team has 50+ wins.

Now, let's look at the teams LeBron lost to in the playoffs. A 64-win Pistons team in '06, a 58-win Spurs team in '07, a 66-win Celtics team in '08, a 59-win Magic team with a peak Dwight Howard in '09, a 57-win Dallas team in 2011, a 62-win Spurs team in 2014, and a 67-win Warriors team in 2015 (playing without his two best teammates). His only "bad" loss (record-wise) was in 2010, the infamous Celtics series that was just bizarre to watch. But he's actually beaten pretty much every team he should have beaten. It's not his fault his conference sucks and is so top heavy.

Everything you just said is the entire point of the graphic.

Unless you just wrote a very clever 2 paragraph joke. If that's the case, I found it funny.

Not in the context it's commonly used on NT (and the Internet in general). But thanks.

All you proved is that Lebron can beat weak teams and not strong teams

Which ironically is the entire point of the graphic he's complaining about. He barely plays truly good teams and then when he does he loses anyways so the graphic is still accurate.

not watching, what happened?

Wet floor wasn't properly mopped up so he slipped and his shoulder ripped out entirely.  Don't even want to find a video of it.

I personally don't have an issue with LeBron beating teams he's supposed to. Especially when the first 7 years of his career his supporting cast was even worse than the East teams he was playing. But I also get why the graphic is being posted. Even though there's a little bit of button pushing going on, if someone said "this is why I'm posting this graphic" they would say what you just said word for word.

Might as well call lance, Austin, and Jamal B2k. Gonna be a whole lot of dancing with the ball going on between the 3 of them.
