If Lb makes Finals but Loses Again, is it time his legacy starts taking hits?

At least dude has won 2 rings.

But if he finishes 2-5 or 2-6 in the Finals, that really sticks out.

Let's not act like losing 6 Finals is anything to be shrugged off. When you put that up against most greats who have got it done, that winning percentage looks pretty dismal.

This is what those legacies look like down the road:





Taken from: The 10 greatest players with as many Finals appearances as LeBron James

In other words, dude going down as a great, but there were teams that plowed through him. This just goes to show, you got to get it done when you have a chance to.

Nope.Losing 6 finals is absolutely 100% something to be shrugged off if you have any common sense. Cuz we shrug off losses in the first round, second round and conference championships all the time. Bill Russell's Celtics are the only players in NBA history with more championships than playoff exits...

Nobody has ever explained why losing in the finals is worse than losing earlier. Cuz there is no answer, its just some bullshyt...

lol I just realized y'all have me using the retarded hater math. Lebron hasn't lost 6 finals he's played in 6 and lost 4

If LeBron keeps this up, he'll be 2-6. But that doesn't matter though right? Because it sounds like you think 2-6 is worse than 2-4 right here.

Maybe he finishes 2-4 and doesn't sniff another Finals appearance.

I have either outcome being much more likely than him winning another one, unless he joins Golden State.

This isn't football. There's 5 starters on the court, not 22 not including special teams where players only play one side of the field. fukk outta trying to compare football with basketball. :camby:

I was just about to say the same thing

Kobestans pretend to play dumb when it comes to the ESPN rankings but the facts are simple.

If you have prime LeBron on your team, you're a team that is expected to challenge for a title, no matter who else is on the roster. Kobe isn't that guy. He's going down as one of the best players of all time, but every year that the Lakers were picked as one of the contending teams, they also had what most experts considered the best front line in the NBA.

Bruh if kobe was in the east he would of been going to the finals almost every year
