Lebron went through quite a few of these types of goalpost moving statements in his career
"Can he do it without Wade"
"Can he do it without a 'superteam' "
Pretty sure both Kobe and Shaq had the "can they do it without the other" which got even more play after Shaq won with Wade in 2006, before Kobe won 2 more in 2009 and 2010
I don't know if there's any stadium-specific versions of this because basketball is played indoors, but a lot of players have reverence for places like the Lakers and Knicks stadiums
There are NBA fans that say things like "Jordan never won without Phil Jackson" or "how good would x player be if they'd had Popovich as their head coach". Those are far more common and probably closer to the rainy night in Stoke.
In the NFL back in the early to mid 2000s it was "can you beat the Patriots in the cold"
Tom Brady also had the "can he do it without Belichick" thing for 20 years, then he won with the Buccaneers
It's weird how in the NBA streaks continue even when a player misses games but in the NFL they end.
There's no curse they just aren't great anymore. Happens to all dynasties.
The Nuggets strategy of everyone being chuckers except Jokic will forever be hilarious. Like it works because Jokic but when it isn't you wonder how some of these guys are even NBA players.
Murray can't come back soon enough
Hey OP what is the average Offensive Points Per Drive for Belichick teams with Brady vs without? Also it's funny you mentioned his rings as a defensive coordinator when he had Lawrence Taylor but not his absolutely abysmal defenses when he was the de facto defensive coordinator for the Patriots in 2010 and 2011
Damn nobody in here watching this ass kicking lol
