We got a glimpse into his mindset when he brushed off losing to the Spurs in the finals as "just basketball". Now he's saying he doesn't expect to win immediately with Cleveland. He turns 30 this season. He has a maximum 4-5 more years left as a top 3 player in this league. Bron now will only win 1 maybe 2 more titles. His chances of getting 5 or 6 now to match Kobe and Jordan is nil. SMH.

All this proves is that Bron was afraid of the pressure of expecting to win a title every season.

I wouldn't say afraid, but he doesn't seem to give a fukk about his "basketball" legacy anymore. Notice in the letter he said it's bigger than basketball

Right because he's only had said pressure the last 6 years and now the Cavs are Vegas fukkin favorites and will be heavily scrutinized no matter what moves they make or don't make. It's truly amazing how this narrative that a guy who has been under a microscope since he was 16 can't handle pressure gets so much traction. Gotta love how people keep tryna toss Kobe in there with Mike. He ain't fukkin with Mike either.

Bron has no chance have matching Jordan's legacy. In part because of the era he plays in and in part because he's just not as good. The question is who cares? Why does he have to be Jordan? Why cant' he just be him? He's not GOAT. He wont' be GOAT. Let's move on.

maybe not, but he the closest. even mike said kobe's the only one to have paid the dues to be compared to him.

in 09 no one expected the cavs to win the title, they just had a surprise season. in 10 there was some pressure but not really cause people were still on that lebron needs help tip. last 4 years there has been pressure cause of the supersteam. even with vegas favoring em, he'll still get a pass if they don't win this year or next cause all his teammates are some young kids not grizzled vets.

So Lebron never had any pressure to win before he went to MIA? He was never expected to win or received criticism for not doing so? :comeon: Funny because wasn't the narrative when he went that he couldnt' handle the pressure of being the man and needed to run to D. Wade and co. Now there was no pressure until he went to MIA? :dead:

Kobe is the closest thing to Mike but he ain't Mike and all these references to Kobe and Mike cast them as peers when they are not. Mike's legacy shyts on Kobe's too. Kobe has his own shortcomings that could be belabored and negatively affect his legacy if he didn't have his own unpaid PR team as a result of playing for the Lakers and winning rings early.
