lebron has finished top five in mvp votes for 11 straight years

[GoddamnyamanProf]

4 MVP's (and counting) is a shyt ton....

I saw a condescending post the other day that was like "Lebron being a 'point forward' will always hurt him when it comes to MVP voting..."

As if he doesnt have more MVP's than anyone in history not named Jordan, Kareem or Russell.

He's a loser now?

The stanbases of Kobe, Curry/Warriors and just casual fans in general that barely pay attention to the NBA, have formed a Voltron of ignorance to try to push this idea that Lebron is some kind of loser and not one of the greatest players of all time. One of their main arguments seems to be that its better to lose early on in the playoffs or not make the playoffs at all, rather than falling short in the Finals. Needless to say, its a terrible narrative from a group of illogical, insecure people.

Exactly and a key people are ignoring is brons health and injury free career minus the few that ached him
For fukks sakes he was top 4 last year with a bad back, new roster, rookie nba coach, and he lost 20 pounds over the summer. This is insane when relaly thought about
Kobe had major injuries and roste rturn over that kept him out the running
Same with shaq
Jordan might have been the same had he not left twice in the mid and late 90s
Maybe magic, bird, kareem had similar tenures but id have tk go snd find the votes if they are public record

Only Kareem had a longer run than LeBron (as far as top 5 MVP criteria), and LeBron will tie that next season... hell, Magic and Bird's careers were over at the point where LeBron is right now.

he still made it to the finals

I still dont see how you nikkas figure this to be an accomplishment with Superteams in the east... And still lost majority of them

Then they bring up random stats to make him relevant again when the attention isnt on him for 5 minutes

I know right

Nikkas really got the Nerve to call a 2 time champ and Finals MVP a loser

If thats the case then it's plenty of HOF players that WISH they were losers.

did he not lose more finals than he's won?

And theyre not making random ass stats about nikkas with 0 finals appearances or 0 finals wins.

And lets also be all the way real and say he wouldve never won shyt without running into Wades arms

Lebron should've had 5 straight MVP's from 2008-2013 and I could easily make the case he was the MVP in his 31 7 7 season and his last season in Miami.

I'll give KD the MVP in 2013 but he should have gotten the one last year and like you said his third year he probably should have won too.

wade shoulda been mvp for at least 3 of those years

Thats very impressive. It shows consitancy at the highest level.

So being top 5 for 11 years is random stat now? It's at least more logical than 2-4 finals records arguement since it gives passes to the superstars who don't reach the finals or even gets eliminated in the first round

 

[TKOK]

While that's impressive, I would guess that the majority of players who were top 5 during their prime would have long streaks like that.

He also a loser whose finals record is one of the main things people remember about him and that's comin from a Lakers fanLeBron losin 4 times in the finals (so far) is gonna be one of the main things he's remembered for too.:mspaintcamumad:

Bron stan post. @ sayin a superstar bein top 5 in MVP votin for 11 years ain't a random stat while callin a 2-4 finals record an illogical argument, finals records are facts that everyone pays attention to nobody checks for how long a player was in the top 5 for MVP (people don't even know how many times players were top 5 in MVP no one remembers the losers) especially if said player is an all time great who nikkas say is historically top 10.

history only remembers the winner

Coli quotable

 

[Shadow King]

I wanna know who finished ahead of Bron each year other than the winners

I wonder who else has the most finals losses in history

Jerry West lost 8 times so I'm sure it's him. And Elgin was on the Lakers too so him also
