How come Bron is GOAT but almost never a favorite in the Finals?

[OfTheCross]

He's the best player on the court always and Vegas don't trust him to win.

Is it just cause haters bet against him and it skews the numbers?

 

[Loose]

Because basketball is a team sport and he goes up against better teams. Close thread

 

[staticshock]

because despite being an all time great, basketball is still a team game.

how can you nikkas be this dumb


one all time great wont be able to take out 3 of the best shooters of all time and one of the best defenders ever

These shytty, disingenuous takes

"Why Vegas don't trust him to win?"

 

[Reece]

Because his fans are dikkriders desperate to have someone from their generation be GOAT. GOATs GOAT. They don’t make a million excuses. They just win.

 

[CHICAGO]

HIS DALLAS PERFORMANCE IS WHY HE WASNT FAVORED AGAINST OKC.

WASNT FAVORED AGAINST SAS IN 2014 BECAUSE TEAMS
HARDLY EVER BEAT THE SAME TEAM IN THE FINALS 2 YEARS IN A ROW.

LOVE WAS OUT IN 2015.

Don’t engage LeBron fans. Save yourself the time. They go on and on about the Superteam era when anyone with a brain and no Stan agenda will tell you the Heat really kicked off the Superteam era. They were so much better then everyone it was sad. Throwing alley oops before the defenders got across half court. I guess everybody was supposed to stand still, watch LeBron compile all star teams and let him win multiple rings

Like do y'all think if Jordan never retired and let's say he gets to 8 straight Finals

If Pippen and Kukoc are both injured, do they win?

Then they come back healthy but that 93 Suns team that already won turns around and adds Hakeem Olajuwon

Then Pippen says I'm tired of this and demands a trade and Rodman is always hurt

You're confident Jordan would somehow still win every year? I'm not.

A lot of sports is circumstance and luck. That's why no one measure should be the determining factor in the goat discussions.

 

[Lakerman0834]

Because basketball is a team sport and he alone can not beat 4x all stars. Jordan never faced anyteam of this caliber once in his career

Jordan woulda beat Mavs and swept 2013/2014 SA teams

 

[010101]

his teams be huff*

Lebron's only blight on is record is that 2011 championship series where he disappeared.

 

[qashif]

Jordan woulda beat Mavs and swept 2013/2014 SA teams

he would've feasted against the Warriors too. Bulls in 5

I think it had more to do with the fact that SA outplayed them and had them beat in game 6 but they choked it away at the free throw line. And then TD had a Ewing moment in game 7
