In the grand scheme of things, not much. Other than 2011 which is a huge blemish in GOAT talks, the finals losses are the same as losing in any other round. It means you made it farther than all but 1 team. It’s cool to talk about now but he also beat: Duncan, Kawhi, Curry, Westbrook, Harden, so it’s not like his finals opposition was Swiss cheese when he won rings.
He’s won rings on 3 different franchises in both conferences. His legacy can’t be rewritten at this point. According to that logic, his Lakers years are better than his Cavs years because he’s 1-1 in the West and was 1-5 in the Finals as a Cav

You understand It's only natural to ask that after you mentioned rings as being what sets him apart from his peers. I just thought it was interesting that you went with that.
All those guys have winning records against him in the Finals, with the exception of Kawhi who he's tied 1-1 with.
And the Heat have two of those Finals losses just for the record. Three different teams, 4 different stops.
2 losses with the Heat, 4 with the Cavs.
Thanks for your very interesting perspective on that matter.

MJ has accomplished whatever he did because of the era, opportunities and longevity
If i had taken ball seriously, i could have broken his record. His accomplishments are really just an opportunity, longevity and consistency record.

HAD THIS RECORD BUT
DIDNT GIVE A fukk ABOUT IT.
IT WAS NEVER A THING.
I haven't seen a poster look like a loser hater as bad as you like EVER in 24 hours
all these years of you acting like you wasn't a true Hatin ass nikka. Your talking points getting no daps..nikkas countering ya weak points with ease. Tread carefullyIt means that he went to the finals for almost half of his career and faced dynasties in the process. Bron spent the first half of his career elevating a team that would be in the lottery without him and the second half of his career with a spot in the finals every season (partially because of an inferior conference-- though other greats, like MJ, played in an inferior league). The result is 4 rings in 19 seasons.. a similar win percentage as Kareem, Timmy, and Kobe. All of whom never spent 8 seasons with a supporting cast like the 2003-2010 Cavs, lost teammates in the finals due to injury like the 2015 Cavs, dragged some of the weakest squads to ever make the finals (2007 and 2018 Cavs), or faced behemoths like the 2017 and 2018 Warriors.
Helps when you play in the JV conference, get to the finals over and over and get smacked over and over

And when he got to the finals he wasn’t losing in historical ass whooping’s like LeBron has
Because playing in the expansion era means he ain't gotta see the KD Warriors or Spurs on the other sideAnd when he got to the finals he wasn’t losing in historical ass whooping’s like LeBron has
We saw how shyt was when he actually faced great teams early in his career.
