Stop it, COLI: Losing 4 NBA Finals doesn't hurt a legacy

[Lakerman0834]

You the original Laker stan breh



But the Kobe stans are foaming at the mouth and making gazillion threads is

tough 2 yrs breh we been trash finally we ave hope Randle healthy/#2 pick/Butler wanting to come here. Plus we know bron in that garbage east will see a couple more finals so might as well eat now

 

[O.T.I.S.]

And to nikkas who say we're acting like his window is closed... It's not, but it's closing.

He's 31 next season.. With a basic post game, no handles, and a struggle jumper.. How long yall expect him to be able to just barrel into the paint knocking everyone over and be efficient


I say he got a good 2 years left. Once dudes athleticism starts slipping (I think it has already) only thing we're gonna be witnesses to is a decline

Jerry West was 1-8 in NBA finals and you never hear Laker fans bashing him like they do Lebron

You never hear anyone proclaimimg he's "The GOAT" or even a Top 10 player of all-time neither


You never hear Lakers fans bring up Jerry West's name at all, unless it's to talk about him making the greatest trade of all-time in any sport

 

[Captain Crunch]

Who in history has been proclaimed as GOAT level by their stans...but has lost twice as many NBA Finals as they have won?

Bron>Kobe
Saul Alvarez>Broner

Deal with it

 

[Cynic]

Lebron will be fine. As much as I don't like the guy

He has 5 years left to get a few more chips...


Meanwhile our Lakers have to get past Rockets, Clippers, Spurs and Warriors :gotdamnbreh:

Kobe will probably probably never see another chip :sadbabybreh:

You never hear Laker fans mention his FMVP when he lost either, because nobody gives a shyt about that shyt unless you win.

Magic Johnson has a son that smokes cock, plus hes +. Nobody cares what his fatass has to say. But, since you do care, Magic says Kobe is on his Mount Rushmore. He also called him the Greatest Laker ever. He also said hes the closest to Micheal Jordan that hes ever seen. You still riding on Magics train?

All that was said before Bron came and crushed the buildings.

Wilt frequently outplayed Russell. The celtics went 7 deep on hall of fame players. The teams wilt played on did not.

Wilt played with Hall Of Fame players too both in Philly and in LA just like Russell did in Boston

Russell made his teams better than Wilt did and got the titles to show for it. Wilt is great though but nah I hold constant playoff/championship L's against you

Not sure all of a sudden actually winning don't mean shyt no more in The Coliseum

 

[Newzz]

So Kareem has a faulty legacy?
Magic?

Wilt?

Both the bolded won more than they lost....LeBron has lost TWICE as many times as he won


As far as Wilt, he was considered not a winner in his day. Just a stat machine....he told us that himself

And yet it never seemed to be enough (the basketball part, not the women). No matter what he accomplished on the court, fans always expected more from him because he made it look so easy. He was hooted because he couldn't shoot foul shots (his lifetime percentage was .511). He was called "selfish" because he scored too many points. He was accused of being more concerned with statistics than winning. Worst of all, he was called a "loser."

In Chamberlain's first seven years, his teams went 0-for-5 in playoff series against his nemesis, Bill Russell and the Boston Celtics. "That's when people really started calling me 'loser,' " Chamberlain said.

Perhaps no game better exemplifies Chamberlain's career than the one in which he set the rebound record with 55, breaking Russell's mark of 51.Yet Chamberlain's Philadelphia Warriors lost.
Whenever his team lost, it was his fault. Chamberlain's teams won NBA titles just twice in his 14 seasons. He was a road attraction, a player to boo. "Nobody roots for Goliath," Chamberlain said more than once.

West ain't a top 5 Laker?

Cut the shyt. It's been funny as hell reading all these posts shytting on Bron for the last week, but let's keep it real for a second. Both times he's lost in the finals with Cleveland, he's had a much worse team. His losses to Dallas and SA are inexcusable in this "legacy" argument, but not this shyt against Golden State. None of these other cats are criticized for losing to greater teams (Wilt, West, Jabbar, Dr J) and neither should Lebron.

Yes they were.

 

[Goat poster]

Kareem and Magic got 6 and 5 titles respectively. LeBron ain't at that level yet. I'll take 6-3 and 5-4 over 2-4 anyday.

And hell yes Wilt's legacy is hit hard with his Finals record. shyt he's even worse cause he caught majority of his L's to his ONLY damn rival and true competition of that era. Russell stayed handing Wilt yearly ether

The problem is people trying to define and compare a legacy when Bron ain't done yet.
If he wins 2 or 3 more he's on the same level as a Kareem and Magic and nobody should care how many he lost.

Not to mention he's on pace to break SO MANY records by the time he's done.

We really won't know his place until he's done

 

[Viva]

So to some of you LeBron's legacy would be better had he lost in the ECFs? lol

 

[Carlos Huerta]

Yes they were.

correction - Wilt was. Not the others.

Bron>Kobe
Saul Alvarez>Broner

Deal with it

Answer the question




What other NBA player has EVER been considered or talked about as The GOAT.....with twice as many NBA Finals losses than wins?




And I started the #CaneloCartel breh, dont worry about that
