For lebron it ain't about his win/loss record in the Finals...it's about how many he wins...nobody cares about how many championships Magic lost, because he won 5 of them sumbytches

...Bron has the pretty stats, the mvps and is already a champion so his place as a top 10ish player is already solidified...what's at stake at this point is moving up to that top 3, GOAT contention level...and he's gonna have to win a lot of rings to do it...
he's in the prime of his career and the tri-lateral hype machine that is Nike, the media led by ESPN, and the NBA is all primed and ready to give dude the mj-push as some kind of god manifested on earth in the form of hooper, the greatest basketball player to have ever existed...basically they want another Jordan and Lebron wants to be that...not Jordan the player on the floor who's known as the fiercest competitor and the best winner, in the way that Kobe has strived to be...but Jordan the "brand", the myth of Jordan was big money...and Lebron and those previously mentioned parties that have similar vested interests want to recreate that...but that can't happen unless Lebron becomes a prolific jordan/magic/kobe type winner...it's the whole reason why he quit on Cleveland and ran to form the superfriends in MIA like a lil hoe-bytch coward...wasn't the purest "sports mythos" move, but it seemed to be the easiest and surest path to stack up "not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6..." chips...and go about the business of building that Jordan 2.0/Lebron brand...
people are primed and ready to buy into it, you got people claiming he's better than Jordan already...just those pesky results kinda stand in the way...realistically, the Heat should be getting ready to wrap up a 3peat right and Lebron-Mania would be ridiuclous right now..but him no-showing in the 2011 kinda set things back...he's in the perfect situation to get it done, in the prime of his career with a supers-quad built around him, just from a time point of view he really can't afford to leave more rings on the table...by my estimate he's left 2 already (2010, 2011)...he doesn't want start getting older, losing his superhuman athleticism a couple of years from now...look back and realize he could've easily had like 5 or 6 rings already
