Is Lebron Going to be the Next Jordan That Stops Players From Ever Winning a Ring?

[Foster5k]

We all remember how Michael Jordan stopped great players from ever winning a ring. The guy was just too dominate and a force that no one could stop. Many would be champions were left in the dark without a chance to ever capture a taste of winning it all and holding up the final trophy.

Lebron, with the Heat, could be the next Jordan, that stops even great players from ever winning a championship. Think Kevin Durant, Derrick Rose, Dwight Howard, Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony, Deron Williams, etc. All these players basically have to go through Lebron and the Heat, for the next 6-10 years.

Lebron has shown that he can win it all. He has proved the doubters wrong and won when the stakes were the highest. He is a force. Could be be that MJ like force that stops even the NBA's best players from ever reaching the promise land? I think he could be. Lebron may just be that guy that great players look back on, in history, and say, "Damn. If not for Lebron, I would of won a ring." Or, "I played in the Lebron era. If not for that, I would of won a ring."

[Rnbizzle]

If he can become that kind of a force, he'll also be in the conversation for GOAT.

[bleedinpurpleTwo]

I believe its too late for that.
Dirk says "Hi"

[Punpun]

Kobe and Duncan were. For a longer time than Jordan. Just like how Bird and Magic were. That's named dominance. I don't see Lebron doing it as every guy that matters in his generation is playing with him. And 5 years from now, Durant and the rest of the new gen could dish it out without him.

[greymatter]

No single player ever stopped everyone else from winning a ring. Great teams do that. Jordan never won a ring without HoGrant or Rodman anchoring the interior defense.

[SilkkTheShocker]

Durant, Rose, and Westbrook are going to be known as the biggest casualties of the Lebron Era.

[Mr Exlax]

I'm not sure if Lebron James can single handedly stop the players, but Michael Jordan didn't do it either. Now their teams on the other hand, could very well stop other teams from winning. To this day I still can't find any pictures or game tape where MJ or Lebron or Kobe or anybody has been on the court by themselves winning a ring.

[Dragonyeuw]

Honestly, I don't think so. During the Bulls reign, I never was really in any doubt that they'd overcome the odds, even during the times when they were taken to the limit by the Knicks in 1992 and the Pacers in 1998. I always felt that Jordan would find a way to pull it out. I don't( yet) get that feeling from Lebron, the feeling where he will grip a team by its throat and rip it out. I don't see the same level of competitive obsession. There have been hints, occasional moments, but not consistently. Not saying winning isn't important to Lebron, but I honestly got the feeling that Jordan would run you over with a truck to beat you, or you'd have to do the same to him in beat him.

On another note, this Heat team doesn't strike me as unbeatable. Not in the way the 1992 and 1996 and 97 Bulls teams felt.

[LakersReign]

Please. Jordan was the force he was cuz he brought his "A game" every single. night...ALL SEASON. Broken toe, fever, cold, sprains....none of that mattered. Lebron doesn't have that mentality, and with this about to be his 10th year, he's never going to have it.

[KyrieTheFuture]

No.

[GaryRaymond23]

To put it simply, no.

[Cali Syndicate]

He seemed pretty focused all the way to the very last game of last season. :confusedshrug:

[LakersReign]

He seemed pretty focused all the way to the very last game of last season. :confusedshrug:

Yeah, right. Lebron ONLY became "focused" when it was Game 6 vs the Celtics....win or go home...again. If it was really like that, Lebron fans WOULD NOT have been cryin' all year to fire Spo, trade Wade, trade Bosh, get rid of Battier/Miller/Haslem....etc.

[pegasus]

He wins 1 ring in 9 years, and all of a sudden he is the next Jordan that stops players from winning a ring?:roll:

[nycelt84]

No and that whole Jordan stopping great players from winning rings is often vastly overstated. Many of the guys Jordan "stopped" from winning rings choked in other situations against other teams when they should have won rings and/or contended such as Ewing in the '94 Finals and the Stockton/Malone era in Utah which was filled with massive choking especially on Malone's part.

+1.

The worst fo the bunch is Malone. He lost to everyone else for 17 of the 19 years in the playoffs he didn't face Jordan.

Those guys will be hitting their prime just as LBJ will be in his decline...guys around LBJ's age though could be in trouble:D

it doesnt always work like that.

you dont think Kobe would be able to do the things that he is doing now after 16 seasons if he was like 37 instead if 33?

KG comes in mind too.

[longtime lurker]

Well he's already stopped Wade and Bosh from winning one so....

[Brick Rick]

haha, lol at all the superstars Jordan kokblocked from winning a ring.

Payton (though he won one later ring-chasing with the Heat)
Drexler (though he won one as a Rocket as a major contributor but still ring chasing)
Ewing
Kemp
Magic
Barkley
Kevin Johnson
John Stockton (twice)
Karl Malone (twice)

Who else am I missing?

[NumberSix]

Lol. It's 1 championship. Calm down.

[Brick Rick]

Not everyone has the same mileage limit when it comes to peak, prime and effectiveness. Lebron has a very durable body and even an older, slower, less athletic Lebron can be a top 5 dominant force until he's in his late 30's. That's another 10 years. I can see him playing into his early 40's in fact, as many more players will be doing so with improved surgeries, training methods and such.

Wow that Cleveland lineup was such trash.

[gilalizard]

If he continues to benefit from such blatant favoritism from the officiating as we saw in this season's playoffs and finals, then yes. Well then... I guess it would really be he and the refs.

We saw what happened in 2011 when the finals were called basically fair. He got spanked by the underdogs.

He absolutely cannot do it without all the favoritism he receives.

You really think that when Lebron loses his athleticism he will still be a dominant force? I really don't see it... he is getting better at his jump shots I'll give you that. I don't see him putting up close to his prime numbers when he hits age 32. :confusedshrug:

[Droid101]

Tim Duncan averaged more assists than Parker :bowdown:
Wtf? How did Robert Horry average as many assists as Tony Parker?

Those Spurs teams were stupid.

Who did Kobe stop? Hell, who did Duncan really stop?

[Duncan21formvp]

It's not stopping anyone when you join forces in another city with a player who already won a title as the man. How is it Lebron stopping them when he went to go play with a guy who got it done already? Maybe if he was doing this in Cleveland you would have a point.

[ripthekik]

Stop? Nah.. Wade actually gave him a hand. The only thing he is doing is sharing rings with other top players

[ihoopallday]

Nope. There's already like 4 dominant teams right now. Miami, OKC, Lakers, Spurs could all win it the next couple of years.

[I LUV KOBE]

WTF is this thread? You cant be Jordan that stop players from ever winning a ring when you already loss and let someone like Dirk stole a ring from you..

Did you watch the NBA Finals? LeBron will be a PF when he's the same age as Current Kobe. LeBron doesn't rely on his athletic ability as much as Blake Griffin or Dwight Howard. LeBron is a better overall player than these guys.

I believe its too late for that.

Who else am I missing?
Miller and the Pacers
Mourning, Hardaway and the Heat(Mourning won a ring later in 2006 as a bench player)

Also, Magic has 5 rings and the 1991 Finals didnt ruin his legacy so why put his name on the list?

[Mr. Jabbar]

easy question: no.

[Zedja]

[Noyze]

Dirk isn't LeBron's peer. Remember, Jordan had to wait for the Lakers, C's and Detroit to wind down a bit before he could start winning. Lakers, San Antonio and Dallas are basically going through the same transition.

Sometimes timing is everything

[Kiddlovesnets]

Shaq and Duncan were.


Fixed for you.

Holy shit is this dude nuts or what? How about responding to what I actually posted you psycho?

Jordan really brought it that game; most important game of his career at the time. Seriously; played his ass off. Even had the announcers saying he looked disinterested and out of it.

[stevieming]

no way, lebron has a stacked team....

on the other hand if he can play like game 6 of the celtics game whenever Miami needs him to, then that becomes a maybe, although I personally Durant with his game can get a ring by going through Lebron.

I know it's hard cuz it's all you ever do, but at least try it for once.

Any point that has to be made by using semantics, like what you're doing right now isn't a point at all. Try harder:rolleyes:

And you wonder why people post links to put you on their ignore list.

Let me break this down for you:

You state: Jordan brought his A game every night - as a reason for LeBron not being able to be compared to Jordan.

I state: The game, the biggest game of his life at the time, where Jordan fell FAR short of his A game...even as far as to say it may have been one of the worst and most odd games of his career.

You following along? I know it's hard to comprehend...don't pull a muscle.
