The only final loss i'm putting on Bron is 2011.

The others wasnt his fault.

2007 doesn't count
2011 was his fault
2014 wade quit on him, but lebron had like 4 great quarters in the entire finals

reference the 98 finals when pippen's back was fried and rodman was a shell of his former self and not even starting

Rodman started that whole series I'm pretty sure. And Pippen started getting back spasms early in game six I believe.

This isn't really an argument than Kobe can win. Duncan has more success and acheivements while Lebron is more statistically impressive and dominant.

Pick your poison.

Duncan got the same amount of rings, more MVPs, more playoff success, and more FMVPs while still playing at a high levels.

Lebron has more individual accolades, better regular season and playoff stats, the same amount of FMVPs, and less overall team success.
5 rings > 2 rings

get over it. LeBron is supposed to be the most physically dominant athlete since Shaq. as far as being the most physically dominant it went from Jordan to Shaq to Bron

Jordan - 5 rings
Shaq - 4 rings
LeBron - 2 rings :francis:

not a fan at all but he has nothing to lose and everything to gain in the Finals. which is a big reason of why i don't recognize him with the greats at this point. the very legacy that we're discussing was pre-ordained before he ever played his first NBA game. no other great player has EVER received that type of praise without first earning it.

the narrative is already being framed if he loses, he's doesn't/didn't have Kyrie and Love, whose absence would be considered instrumental in his loss but don't receive the same recognition when it comes time to talk about why he's in the Finals. the narrative will read that he single handily carried this team.

5 straight Finals appearances is impressive enough to have on his resume. He's single-handedly owned an entire conference for half a decade and he's 30.

If the Cavs win this year then its reasonable to see them making it back with a stronger roster next year and beyond. 5 straight Finals might just be the start.

LeBron has the GM power and overall adoration from most of the players of the league to basically construct a finals team every year

Kobe stans choose to mention that Kobe repeated while not mentioning that his two repeats have almost a decade in between each other. So basically while Spurs were a lock to win each other year, Kobe was at home.

And then they'll bring up Spurs had superior teams and Kobe was that dominant force while Duncan wasn't, but will just as soon forget that Kobe ain't shyt without Phil or elite bigs

:ufdup:Kobe haters choose to mention irrelevant shyt about repeats bein a decade apart to deflect from the fact that he still repeated twice the first time bein a threepeat, and then they'll gas up the Spurs and Duncan even tho they never repeated once throughout their entire "dynasty" and Duncan hasn't been the best player on his team in almost a decade.:umad:

This is just a repeat of what I just said smh

You nikkas are stupid enough to gas up spurts of titles over sustained dominance

fukk discussing basketball you need to work on your reading
