Update: 2023-02-03

Description

At some point within the 2022-23 NBA season, LeBron James will become the all-time leading scorer in NBA history. In a paramount career, LeBron has established himself as an undisputed top 3 player ever, and in the opinion of many, the Greatest Of All Time.

But even GOATs have to take their lumps.

Today, Josh and Calvan take the NBA time machine back to June 2007, when LeBron led the Cleveland Cavaliers to their first ever Finals appearance only to fall horrendously to Tim Duncan’s San Antonio Spurs.

What went so wrong?

Find out as Once Upon A Dribble reviews how the Spurs showed the world how to kill a king!
