James’ agent Rich Paul was a guest on Arians’ podcast. Speaking about James’ 10 trips to the Finals, Paul said, “James has been the underdog in every Finals except 2011 and 2012.”
Paul’s words are not empty. 2007, James led the Cavaliers to the Finals for the first time, but against the Lakers with Kobe, they lost 2-4. 2010, James left the Cavaliers to join the Heat, but they lost to the Celtics in the Finals, 2-4. 2013, the Heat again reached the Finals, but they also lost to the Thunder, 2-4. 2014, the Heat lost to the Thunder, 2-4, and the Cavaliers lost to the Celtics, 2-4.
In 2014, the Heat beat the Spurs 4-1 to win the championship, the first of James’ career.In 2015, the Heat lost to the Warriors 2-4 in the Finals.In 2016, James led the Cavaliers to a come-from-behind victory over the Warriors to win the championship, the second of his career.
In 2017, the Cavaliers defended their title by defeating the Warriors by a score of 4-1. in 2018, the Cavaliers lost to the Warriors by a score of 1-4 in the Finals. in 2020, the Lakers defeated the Heat by a score of 4-2 in the Finals to win James’ fourth career title. in 2021, the Lakers lost to the Bucks by a score of 2-4.
From 2007 to 2021, eight of James’ 10 Finals appearances were as the “underdog”. As you can see, James has always shown amazing resilience and explosiveness when facing strong opponents. He has led his team to complete reversals many times, and has also stepped up after losses many times.
James is one of the greatest players in the history of the NBA, and there is no doubt about his achievements. But he’s not perfect, and he has lost in the Finals. It is these losses that have made him stronger.
