SPIN: Name the great players LeBron has denied championships

[mamba]

These young nikkas weren't alive to see MJ snatch so many great player's souls.

MJ directly denied so many great players the chance to win a championship. The dudes with *'s won when MJ stepped away from the game or was too to put up a fight anymore.

Patrick Ewing
Reggie Miller
Chris Mullin
Dominique Wilkins
Charles Barkley
Kevin Johnson
Shawn Kemp
*Gary Payton
Karl Malone
John Stockton
Mark Price
Brad Daugherty
Terrell Brandon (young nikkas do not know about this dude!)
*Steve Smith
Dikembe Mutombo
*Alonzo Mourning
Tim Hardaway
*Glen Rice
*Clyde Drexler
Jalen Rose
Mark Jackson
...and many more

Who is on LeBron's "denied" list?

For now, I have:

Kevin Durant
Russell Westbrook
James Harden (arguably, not at his peak in that Finals matchup)
Paul George
Derrick Rose (which shouldn't count due to injuries)
Paul Millsap

Any Bron stans want to help me with the list of great players he's denied championships?

So this is the new way to define greatness?

This is not a new way to define greatness.

It's just reality. Name the greats LeBron has prevented from getting a championship.

Boston already got their rings. He didn't deny Dwight/Jameer/Rashard/Hedo, that was the Lakers.

He denied the OKC Thunder trio.

Spurs already had rings. And they avenged their loss.

Warriors got their rings. Bout to avenge their loss.

So really, it's just Eastern Conference opponents, outside of KD/Russ/Harden.


PG/Hibbert/Lance would have never won a ring anyways. Guaranteed sweep by SAS in 2013.

Bulls would have lost to the Mavs in 11. Mavs had wing defenders for LeBron and Wade. Think Rose and role players was gonna be a problem? Not to even mention playoff gawd Dirk that year...

Atlanta Hawks were some frauds. Would have gotten washed by GSW in 15.

Toronto last year? Yeah, right... GSW would have washed them as well.


Really, LeBron's only blocked the Thunder boys.

Moving the goalposts again?

Moving the goalposts again?

I'm not a LeBron stan...

And those are all facts. Unless you think the goddamn Pacers, Hawks, or Raptors were actually beating an NBA Finals team out of the West in the last... 20 years???


Only argument that can be made is the 2011 Chicago Bulls.

:lolwtf: I wasn't aware MJ was on the 2011 Chicago Bulls team. Thanks for clarifying.


Miami showed you just press and double DRose and force the other Bulls players to score and they will fold. They really struggled if Rose wasn't dropping and assisting for 50+ a night.

Yeah, I'm a bit biased, but I don't think the Bulls presented enough challenges for that Mavs team. They dealt with the back to back Lakers, Thunder trio, and Heatles.

Like I said, DRose and role players?

Thibs' system and MVP Rose carried them to a great 1 seed and ECF appearance. That was their ceiling.

How many nikkas that played Jordan's position did he deny rings.

And how many of them are equal to dion waiters in the current NBA?

Act like basketball is an individual sport
