How will LeBrons legacy be affected if the Cavs lose the series vs the Raptors?

[an emissary from hell]

people will shyt on Lebron if he comes short of a title regardless of if he loses in game 7 of the finals or game 5 of the 1st round

Doesn't how Lebron actually plays matter at all?


You just say, "if the Cavs lose the series" as if that is the only factor.

So if the Cavs lose because Love/Irving shoot a combined 4-28 in each of the next two games even with Lebron putting up 35-15-10, that'll be a hit on his legacy, but if the Cavs win while Lebron goes 15-4-4 on 37% shooting with awful defense, that'll be a legacy-building performance?



These questions are just stupid.

They shytted on dude when he averaged 38,8,8 in that Orlando series and said he came up short and the reason we didn't get to see him and Kobe in The Finals..

I don't think he hurts his legacy at all. That shyt is cemented. The jokes will fly but he's solidified as top 10. All that can happen at this point is him improving upon his legacy.

 

[pete clemenza]

They won't lose the series though

 

[RubioTheCruel]

Let the Raptors win a road game before we seriously discuss them beating the Cavs in a series.

 

[DonKnock]

After seeing the bullshyt they pulled with Crymond, they'll probably just eject Lowry and DeRozen in game 7

 

[High quality poster]

Lebron would rather lose now than to get washed in the finals again

 

[RammerJammer]

You think the rigged ass NBA is gonna let the damn Raptors play in the finals?

Raptors ratings been shyt all year, No way LeBron loses.

If that's the case then the league would've made sure LA beat Dallas in 2011

 

[Shutdown10]

he would get shyt on now

after he retires no one will remember/care and he will be seen at top 5 all time atleast

I don't agree.

 

[GoldenGlove]

It would be like when CLE lost to Orlando that year where everybody wanted to see Kobe vs Lebron in the Finals. Nike had all the promo puppets and all that, and Stan Van and them boys got Bron and company outta there.

 

[Mr swag]

Nothing like always. They will claim he needs more help.

He will be top 10, but not top 5. I think it affects his rank amongst viewers in the top 10 because of his negative moments and coming up short in tough series games. I don't think the Raptors will win though

 

[Sypress]

The media would talk about how Bron needs more help

 

[360Waves]

Well you gotta remember this is the dumbass Coli and it's better for players to lose early than actually getting to the Finals and losing so the answer is it won't...
