"love up to every bit of the hype"

Hoping game 4 is a huge Clevland blowout.

I could see Toronto stealing game 4, and then subjecting their fans to another home loss to the Cavs.

Has there ever been a player, in any sport, to more fully love up to every bit of the hype than LeBron?
Tiger?

I’m not a hockey guy so I’ll leave it to people who follow it closer than I do but hasn’t but hasn’t Sidney Crosby sort of lived up to the hype so far?

#4 seed Cleveland is in the Conference Finals (NBA semi-finals) while #2 seed Boston, #1 seed Houston, and #2 seed Golden State are all up 3-1.  

Looks like the conference finals will be:
  • #2 Boston vs #4 Cleveland in the East
  • #1 Houston vs #2 Golden State in the West.

He has definitely fixed that the last couple years.  Before that the story was he won one early, then had concussion issues and playoff failures.  He also always had Malkin and great goalkeeping.  LeBron made an NBA Finals at the age of 23, with the 2nd best player on his team being Zydrunas Ilgauskas.
When Crosby hangs them up, I think he'll be where he was supposed to be, but there were some doubts from like 2011-14 whether he would elevate from being a great player to being an all timer.

The hype regarding Tiger was that he would slay the Golden Bear's Major record. 

The hype regarding LeBron was that he'd win more titles than Jordan. 

Neither of those things are likely to happen.

The only mild surprise in the NBA final 4, is Boston with the injury to their best player, Cleveland transfer, bad knees Irving.

I was replying to this. but 3-1 is still a hard spot to come back form.
