ONE SERIES… STILL PART OF THE STORY 🐐👀 #shorts



ONE SERIES… STILL PART OF THE STORY 🐐👀 #shorts

When people talk about LeBron James and the GOAT debate, one moment always comes up…

2011.

The Finals loss to the Dallas Mavericks 🏆
A series that critics still bring up to this day.

For some, it changed everything.
For others, it’s just one chapter in a legendary career.

Because what came after?
Was greatness.

Multiple championships 🏆
Finals MVPs 🐐
Becoming the NBA’s all-time leading scorer 📊👑
20+ years of dominance at the highest level 🔥

But somehow…
that one series still gets mentioned in every debate 😭

That’s what makes the GOAT conversation so different.

It’s not just about numbers.
Not just about accolades.

It’s about moments.
Narratives.
And what people choose to remember.

Some see 2011 as a stain.
Others see everything after as the response.

And maybe that’s the real question:

Can one series really define a career this great? 🤔🐐

💬 What do you think — does 2011 matter that much?

  1. Lebrons useless mama turned him into a victim. LeBron really a women always complaining and never it's his fault.him and his mama can go 🔩

  2. All great arguments but the best was that zinger at the end. With all those extra seasons…. and Lebron's still chasing.

  3. LeBron may not be “as good or better than” but give this man his FLOWERS for being better than those who criticize him because respectfully…even MJ and Kobe have praised him in way or another for being great. He’s been dominant since day one and after 100 years of speculation, he will continue to be spoken of alongside MJ, Kobe and many other greats.
    He may not be as “accomplished” but he sure as hell made a mark and will leave a scar after he’s retired, dead and gone. His name will forever be synonymous with the legends 😎

  4. Now stephen a smith changed his story, you guys seen his new video where he says no one not even jordan has been this good late in their careers? 😂😂😂 when haters become fans

  5. Dirk Nowitzki became a legend on that finals run. WATCH THE HIGHLIGHTS AND WHO HE FACED. Was the craziest run I ever saw in basketball.

  6. Jordan elevated the league, LeFlop ruined it. Curry revived it and LeGarbage still manages to ruin that.

  7. Lol like SAS made it to the NBA talking like this smdh. He didn’t even average 2 pts in college

  8. Sad part is that so many active players are being labeled as a goat…The goats of this day choked or disappeared in the finals… they all relied on someone else to shine and make the big shots.. curry should be ranked higher than lebron and kd because he fought for his victories… unfortunately all these players have moments where they struggled so much in their first finals. The goats never struggle even when they lose…they just needed a little help to to win or training… but dominated once they got a little help.

  9. It wasn't a choke job… LeBron is just corrupt, at one of the highest levels as a player. He's made his people a lot of money over the years.

  10. For 10 years you couldnt say NBA Finals without saying Lebron James. REPEAT in a TEAM SPORT!!!!!!!!!! TEAM SPORT!!!!!!!! 10 years You couldn't say Finalist without saying 1 name. Stop it man yall just hate greatness

  11. So LeBron is that players that everyone loved to watch but when he became too good everyone started to hate him??im new the basketball and this is the kindoff vibe im getting that lets me know who really the best is

  12. All without the NBA adding bullshit extra dribble rules. he was constantly getting crippled and doubled and still did his thing while winning championships.

  13. Stephen A. obsession with LeBron is weird. My suggestion is that he should improve his own craft.

  14. How you highlight Brons Lowest point then proceed to force Jordan accolades on us right after just to prove YOUR POINT. S.A get tf outta here bro you already excluded yourself when you said “ there nothing LeBron can do to take Michael’s spot in your eyes” and this was about 10 years ago😂😂 smh meat riding at its finest smh..

  15. Still chasing Kobe. Will never catch Jordan. Regardless. Don’t always agree with SAS but damn. 23 years and still chasing is a fire take 🔥

  16. Anyone that knows basketball knows that man could have balled out u know these players are being controlled. Bullshit

  17. 😂 Stephen A Smith is an expert at making it sound like the worst thing in the world😂 the man is most definitely a gifted speaker
