LeBron Strikes Back: 'Rings Not Everything'

[Danny Up]

See that argument makes no sense. Nobody said rings are the ONLY thing. But they are MOST IMPORTANT. So if you have two comparable players who have elite numbers throughout their career, but one has five rings and the other has 1, the edge goes to the guy with more rings. Unless youre a chump loser, thats how you're going to view it.

Thats why the "oh so you'd take trent dilfer over dan marino?" or the dumb shyt you just said about horace grant are fukking retarded. Because youre trying to argue that rings are the ONLY thing. nobody is fukking saying that.

Argument makes plenty of sense. I'm not taking Tim Duncan over Malone or Barkley because he got rings. That's my opinion. I'm not taking Isaih over Payton or Stockton because of rings. Not taking Shaq over Olajuwon because of rings.

you could easily make a case that all those players you mentioned are comparable or on equal levels. that's where the rings argument comes in. when you have two comparable players, if one has more rings, they get the edge. tehy are proven champions. if you disagree its because you're a fukkin born loser. chump shyt like lebron.

but those comparisons are much different than comparing a role player like horace grant to a legend like malone. get the fukk outta here with that bullshyt.

Championships aren't individual accomplishments. SO winning them means shyt, if the team wins everybody gets a ring including the towel boy.

If the end all be all is FMVP, then the goat is Bill Russell.

Bill Russell NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Award - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

how many teams were in the NBA in bill russels era?

nikkas be trying to use the argument that the league was less competitive in jordans era compared to now, how you think that would stack to Russell's era? i think that's why he gets slighted on the whole 11 rings front, you can't take those away from him when you talk about his legacy, but you gotta put that in perspective.

Even if you poo-poo Russell, what about Kareem? He got 6 rings and 6 MVP's. Why isn't he the goat, why is it Jordan?

Why would they? It's an accolade, but it don't make any player better than another. The towl boy gets a ring, he's a real valuable asset.

If it wasnt bout rings then why he team up with D Wade n Bosh?

In perspective.
Less teams equal higher level of talent allowed to play. More teams equal a dilution of talent spread across those teams.

Good god you are a fukking retard. Do everyone a favor and stop posting.

 

[Reggie]

And yet, you don't have a problem with those saying he is top 5 if he wins another ring this year. Go bark up those trees first before you try to piss on mine.

Yeah if he wins another ring or two he's in my top five no doubt. Just cause you don't have 4 or 5 rings you can't be one of the best ever?

 

[Kunty McPhuck]

To a person like everything comes down to winning, nothing else matters.

While seems to care more how people see him.


All had to say was im just comin into my prime years, there will be more opportunities to win a few more championships and then give a little wink to the camera

Not when other guys have more.

 

[Kobes Two Jerseys]

What he is saying is clear. If rings aren't the most important then what is? It's a typical chump response. Of course a guy with only 1 ring is gonna say rings aren't most important. You'd never hear a real winner saying that shyt.

But we shouldn't be surprised. This is the same dude that wore a "check my stats" shirt in public after losing in the NBA finals. That shows you where this fakkits priorities are.

If rings aren't important, why are stats?, better yet, why even keep score? Lol at these "rec league t ball everyone gets a trophy for participation" nerds. I, like every other competitor, play to win and be the best. What part of the male species thinks being the champion isn't the ultimate stat? These fruity booty new generation metro sexual fakkits.

Saying they mean shyt is far too strong, but rings aren't a good way of evaluating a player's career.

For example, John Stockton is the all-time leader in assists. Do we knock him because he never won a title? I don't think that's a slight on him. Utah didn't win those titles in the late 90's because they weren't as good as Chicago, San Antonio or Houston. He's still one of the best point guards ever.
