The 2011 NBA Finals saw a clash between the Dallas Mavericks and Miami Heat. It featured a robust roster that included the dynamic Miami trio: LeBron James, Chris Bosh, and Dwyane Wade.
However, the series ended in a thrilling victory for the Mavericks but much to the disappointment of Miami Heat fans.
Led by LeBron James, Miami was well-positioned in each game but was conspicuously unable to clinch the series victory.
Following this significant setback, LeBron defended his performance by pointing fingers at the lack of the right complimentary pieces on his team, casting the secondary line-up of the Heat as the series" weakest link.
Eddie House calls out LeBron for not showing up in the 4th quarter of the 2011 Finals, and he believes LeBron deserves more blame than the Heat's complementary pieces 😬

One of these supposed secondary pieces, retired basketball player Eddie House, recently called out LeBron James for his comments.
In an interview with The Carton Show, House expresses disappointment over LeBron"s post-2011 statements.
According to House, James is directing unnecessary blame towards those who were not actively part of the on-court collapse.
Pointing to the fourth quarter failure in every game, House believes that the team"s primary player, namely LeBron James, should shoulder the blame rather than deflect it onto the team"s ‘complementary pieces."
“If we gonna point the finger, let"s point the finger at the fourth quarter collapse every game that we had. If we gonna play the blame game, you know I wasn"t out on the court," said House, via The Carton Show.
“The man saying the other guys wasn"t getting it done [was on the court]. He was, but he wasn"t."
