AMAZING.

Don't you think that not MAKING the playoffs is worse than a first round exit and Lebron does have time to accumulate more of either.

weve been told for years: no playoffs, early exits >>> finals losses

Because he played in the east at it's lowest point.

The 8th seeds were winning 37 games and shit.

Losses as the 8 seed vs 1 seed are never criticized

So OP is really saying that getting the 8 seed (MJ 85-87) is worse than lebron getting the 9 and 10 seed (04, 05, 19)... :(

Especially when the 8 seed plays the goat celtics closer than lebron's 2 seed plays the old spurs in 14', or Warriors in 18'

Otoh, losses as the 1 or 2 seed seed are frequently criticized, and lebron has at least 6 of them, while players in the top 10 all-time also have 5+ losses with 1 or 2 seeds... only MJ was undefeated (6-0) with 1 or 2 seeds (the most unbeatable player with a squad, aka goat)

There was three times he didn’t even make the playoffs. Isn’t that much worse? LOL

If Lebron played his whole career in the west, he would still have zero first round exits. Just not in the way you think though.

Take your pick
A lot of teams make it with 38 wins

And 30 wins is a function of nearly all teams making the playoffs back then (16 of 23 teams)

So MJ took a team that was much worse than a modern 8 seed, and played the goat celtics closer than lebron's 2 seed played the old spurs in 14'

MJ accomplished this remarkable feat by breaking 25-year playoff record and being "god in basketball shoes"

Maybe because he didn't face the equivalent to the golden state warriors in the first round?

Cool story so who went 1-9 with 3x 1st round exits again

I always slay you, what's new

Additionally:
Why does LeBron have Zero 1st round exits?

LeBron isn't capable of losing in the 1st round. He simply doesn't know how to :pimp:

If he studied under the Jordan Standards he'd know to go 1-9 and then after getting superstar help from Scottie Pippen he would lose three more years in a row to the Raptors and THEN he would finally start winning with a third superstar like Horrace Grant while beating up on tomato can rag tag teams from the weak west.

what the hell are you talking about?

On April 29, 2014, Jordan became the first NBA player with at least 25 points, 18 rebounds and four blocked shots in a playoff game since Tim Duncan in 2008, beating GSW

why does Lebron have zero wins in western playoffs?

Yet according to you guys it's much worse to lose the finals than to miss them. LOL

If he made the playoffs this year as a 4 seed he might've had his first 1st round exit but we will never know because he didn't make the playoffs
