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

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

Yea, I'm deeply upset,

Laker management has to spend more money on building another trophy room for the future.

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

So wilt had as many great teammates as Russell? Those guys had multiple hall of fame guys coming off the bench and the entire starting five. Wilt was out there in a game 7 for instance where his teammates shot 25 of 74. at some point the rest of the team had to step up. Boston won because they were a vastly better team.

West ain't a top 5 Laker?

Kobe, Magic, Shaq, Kareem, and then West.....but we dont put him on the level as "The GOAT" and he's not a Top 10 player of all-time like the other 4 are.

 

[Goat poster]

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

The disrespect to Jerry West shows what "Lakers Fans" really stand for

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

Maybe Wilt.
But Bron gets a pass for '07; 2014, and this year, so he's really 2-1.

Or maybe we're realistic with his place in History?



Maybe if Bron stans would be realistic like we are with West, they would realize championing a guy as "The GOAT" (who's lost on the biggest stage twice as much as he won) is kinda ridiculous...we wouldnt be having these type of threads




LeBron is an ATG (Top 10 all-time imo), but he can never ever be mentioned with the title of "GOAT" being that he loses too much at the big dance.

They aren't laker fans. Note how they have nothing good to say about Magic Johnson or Kareem or Pat Riley or Pau Gasol or Phil Jackson or Shaq.

Maybe Wilt.

Yeah the only people I see hanging this or last year or 2007 on him are Kobe stans, Boston fans, and maybe one other group I'm forgetting right now.

Yeah when these dudes stay talking greasy about Magic that lets me KNOW they can't be Laker fans.

nikkas don't talk about him period unless it's some trivia about the logo

i've heard people on this forum say he's better than bill russell

 

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

How about the 4 time champion coach with them who won as an assistant too, and the leagues all time leading scorer and record 6 time MVP?

 

[Kobes Two Jerseys]

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

So do you tell everyone who labels him GOAT to wait til hes done?

Heat stans who are scared to admit they are really just Bron stans

i've heard someone from here tell me West and Baylor were both better than Russell despite losing to him every year
