Who else can make 9 Finals in modern era?

[TheCorporation]

Even if they don't win, or let's just say they win 1 in 9 and pull a 1-9 Jordan. Can anyone else in modern basketball even make 9 finals like LeBron?

[bison]

Embiid can. He’s a once in a generation player with a stacked roster in a loser conference like lebron. This year will easily be his first finals out of 9, unless he fails to get to the finals then I have no choice but to declare lebron the GOAT :bowdown:

[bison]

Oh modern era? Put Kobe in the east for 20 years, he makes AT LEAST 15 finals :bowdown:

9 conference finals wins + 3 Finals wins = 12 wins (Lebron)

He played in a tougher conference and didn't stack the deck

This is common knowledge and even the mainstream media would answer your question this way.. so you're ignorant about the topic

Otoh, various players like Dwight, AI and Kidd made the Finals with weak teams... So a good team wasn't required to make it in Lebron's conference, yet he stacked the deck to ensure making the Finals.

Ultimately, MJ went the organic route rather than the team-hopping route, so mj's feats are far more impressive

Harper, Kerr, and Kukoc are players that every team has the equivalent of.. and 36-year old rodman averaged 4/8 for the entire 97 playoffs and wasn't even the starter in the 98' playoffs

These guys demonstrate your inability to find star talent on MJ's teams - so you point to role players and inflate them... It's pathetic and makes my point

Only MJ could've won with those teams because only MJ could provide the ridiculous scoring load and clutch that the team needed.. those teams needed scoring champion production from the #1 option, and only MJ won rings as the scoring champ (6 times)..

edit: Kareem and Shaq did it once each in their peak seasons of 71' and 00' (only MJ could undertake their peak burden as his STANDARD burden to win a ring)





Why did Jordan only make it to 6 Finals?


Lebron made the Finals by teaming up with 2 other stars in a conference that didn't require good casts to make the Finals - this is historical fact

Otoh, MJ played in a tougher conference and didn't stack the deck

Lebron had the same advantage as Magic - the weakest Conference in history with no real contenders to stop him from going to the Finals, except Magic had a winning record on the big stage.

We might never have as weak of a Conference again as 12-18 East. Paul George & Roy Hibbert Pacers were the main contender for most of these years :kobe: The only team that would have challenged Lebron's teams lost it's best player as he was entering his prime to knee injuries.

He didn't face one all-time great in his prime in these Playoffs because he joined up with the only one that could have challenged him (Wade), everyone else has been out West. He was losing to Dwight Howard while playing on a 66-win team for crying out loud.

What you and others like you don't understand is that better stats don't always equal better as far as team success. Most times it's better to sacrifice your personal stats and learn to play more within a system to optimize winning. Phil Jackson challenged mj to adopt this philosophy and mj became a much better winner. If mj was the system instead of playing within the system he'd have much better stats but way less chips. the opposite is true for LeBron. If he would play more within a system instead of being the system he'd have less stats but more wins.

I'll end this with a quote from Aristotle who once said " he who cannot be a good follower cannot be a good leader" this is why mj was a better leader and winner.

Why does Jordan have 10 scoring titles but LeBron James still has more playoff points than him? I thought Jordan was supposed to be better at scoring because we know MJ is not a better passer, rebounder, or defender :eek:

MJ averaged 5 more ppg with the same shooting efficiency (within 1% true shooting) and better overall efficiency per possession (118 offensive rating to 116 for Bron)

depends, if they collude at least 2 times with 2 other top 10 players in the league I can see many doing that. I can see several win more than 3 of these 9 attempts as well.

If you replace Lebron with

Jordan
Kareem
Bird
Magic
Duncan
Hakeem
Wilt
Shaq
Isiah Thomas
Durant
Kobe
Dirk
Curry
Moses Malone

they could easily make 9 Finals easily with playing in a weak conference with a super team.
