Why is Bron the exception when it comes to losing? Everyone before him got all the glory when you won in the finals, but all the blame when you lose in the finals. But, the media has been :cape:for Bron which has been pure :scusthov: If we are going to do revisionist history of losing in the finals and want to say winning a title is a pure team accomplishment, than Karl Malone is the GOAT PF since he got 2 MVP's like Duncan & is the 2nd leading scorer in NBA history, its not his fault the Jazz didn't win a title & Duncan was with a premier top franchise like the Spurs. :troll:
because when bron loses we have to chage how we judge players. So Duncan really has 6 since it wasn't his fault he lost due to the game 6 collapse, Kobe should only have one finals loss counted against him since 08 there were injuries and his two best players never played in the finals

Kobe is 5-0. Any team starting Vlad rad gets a pass.

Yall the same nikkas who don't wanna give Kobe credit for winning three rings with Shaq, don't wanna add that to his legacy, but somehow Lebron loosing doesn't hurt his? The double standards is crazy :sas2:
The lakers won a title with Shaq averaging more rebounds than Kobe did points and shooting better at the foul line in one of his worst series at the line than Kobe did from the field. Those lakers went as Shaq went.

nikka that's one series where Kobe was injured and missed a game. Hence his stats. Go back and watch Game 7 vs Portland and see who carried who in the most important game of the season for the lakers, go back and watch game 4 and see who carried the Lakers. You obviously don't know what you're saying and just repeating the same garbage you hear around here.

So now a big game the series before wipes away a terrible finals? Posting like this explains your rep. So what about the 2004, 2008, and 2010 finals where he shot 38%, 40%, and 40% including a 6-24 game in game 7 with 3 assists to 5 turnovers? You're going to tell me he played well in those too I assume. Bryant shot mediocre in game 1 of the 2000 finals before turning his ankle anyway.

I like LeBron but the pure comedy from Game 3 to now is hilarious. :mjlol:

Stop declaring this nikka the GOAT. He's Wilt up to this point. Ridiculously talented to the point of absurdity, but so far he doesn't have the rings to back up the claims and there's nothing wrong with that.

:heh: Media and fans want him to take Jordan's crown so bad. Media talking bout "well technically he's only 2-2 in the Finals...the 2 with Cleveland don't count because his teams weren't as good as the teams he lost to ." :what: Yea, no shyt, that's usually how it works when you lose.

You sound so mad girl, I ain't even gonna argue with you, just hold this

:umad:

Loosing can't boost ya legacy.


The 04 Pistons and the 08 Celtics were monster defensive teams, it is what it is, and when Kobe lost, his legacy took hits. But when he won back to back it improved his legacy.
