Nobody ever talks about that though - how he had to be apex Bron to get passed that Boston team and the MVP Rose #1 ranked Bulls squad - and Bron was MVP caliber Bron throughout that.

But again - nobody has ever denied that Bron had a really bad series against Dallas. But it turned out to serve him well because that was when he, Wade & the team sat down and said "you have to be the leader of this team now" - and as soon as that happened a switch turned, and Bron has been the Greatest we've ever seen since that 2011 disappointment. So that adversity and pressure created a diamond of all diamonds - but yea - it happened - and nobody has ever denied that it happened.

Lebron was only 26 years old during that series -- it was the series that killed the boy, and saw the man emerge - and I don't think he regrets it at all because of what came to be from it.
