LeBron James's Game 7 cramps were a calculated 'escape plan' to have an excuse if the Cavaliers lost

I actually have a theory that [LeBron's cramps] was an escape plan. Because when he went to the locker room, it was tied. So he was like, if I go to the locker room with cramps, it's an excuse in case we lose this game.

This is an unfalsifiable psychological theory about LeBron's intent, making it inherently subjective.

The first-round series against the Pacers was a negative mark on LeBron James's legacy

Yeah, so this series was a negative mark on LeBron's legacy, even though he averaged like 42 points and basically a triple-double.

While the Cavs struggled, LeBron's individual stats in this series were legendary, making the 'negative mark' claim factually absurd but funny.
