I say more pressure is on Lebron. If he doesn't win this year, it's pretty likely he won't get ring 4 or maybe just barely get ring 4 but never anything more. That leaves him clearly behind Kobe and Jordan with rings. If Lebron really hopes to get 5 rings, he's got to win this year. It seems completely unlikely he'll ever match Jordan's 6 and that's okay. Durant is younger and has more chances.

About the same:

LeBron has already won, but in a historical context we all know he's chasing the ghost of MJ, and this Finals is basically his last hope of catching him
Durant hasn't won, but GS will still be just as strong for the forseeable future; he'll still have more opportunities to win a ring in the next 2-3 years.

You guys are trying really hard to turn this into another "Lebron loses another title" thing. If ya'll don't get the fukk outta here with this shyt. LeBron's legacy is cemented, despite what some of ya'll bozos are trying to say, him losing another finals won't mean shyt after what he did last year. LeBron is playing with house money right now. If he loses, they weren't expected to win but if he pulls this off?

His team is stacked with stars and shooters, viewers and media been talking Jordan and Lebron a lot lately, plus last season was a fluke because of injuries and suspensions. This season both teams are healthy going into the Finals.

Lebron could lose this one...and still maintain status...and we'd all pretty much expect him to make a go of it next year...and maybe the year after that.

Nah. It can't slide off that easily.

Thatd be 5 finals LOSSES for Bron. That'd be a major talking point against his legacy.

Again this is assuming they care abojt any of this

Pressure is on KD and the Warriors because they are supposed to win. They went 73-9 and got up 3-1 before adding 2nd best player in the world.

It would just knock Lebron down in the MJ/Kareem/Kobe talk

KD still hasn't earned a right to the discussion. He needs one so that he's not another Karl Malone, Charles Barkley or Reggie Miller in NBA history.

That Bron Stimulus :wow:

Logically speaking based on precedent it's KD easy. Based on people just wanting to continue piling on Bron, it's Bron :mjlol:.
I presented arguments for both KD and Bron. There is no black and white answer but you Bron stans are hit dogs right now, taking everything extra personal :snoop:

And the bolded is all that matters. fukk this other shyt. We been hearing "Lebron can be GOAT over MJ" all season and he himself said he's chasing that ghost. KD can still win, Lebron lost his first year with Miami so who cares. KD time is not ticking. Lebron clock IS ticking on this "GOAT" convo shyt

Show me another time in NBA history where one guy had 3 rings and the other guy had 0 (not to mention the extra baggage for KD) and there were arguments for both being under the most pressure.
