How could an all time great lose 4-0 and 4-1 in the finals twice

[Duncan21formvp]

How could an all time great lose 4-0 (2007, 2018) and 4-1 (2014, 2017) in the finals twice when lesser players on weaker teams did better? The 4-1 series the all time great had two other stars on the team that actually made the allstar team as well.

and how can a all time great only appear to 6 finals and play all cupcake teams

Duncan beat Lebron twice in the finals. Lebron also embarrassed the United States of America and won bronze medal twice.

[PCCM_29]

well, insert Jordan for Lebron and do any of those outcomes change? Short of the Mavs series, definitely not. In fact, I would say insert Jordan for Lebron and Jordon wouldn't even make it to the finals :lol

[RRR3]

If your position is that LeBron James isn’t an all time great, then you might as well just make a thread saying “I am retarded”.

Jordan never lost with HCA. Lebron won bronze medal twice and has been down in a series at least 3-2 every year of his career and also lost 3 years in a row with HCA and even lost to a career loser in Dwight Howard with HCA. So a lot would change. Kobe on the teams Lebron was on would win 6 titles as well.

He was up against the greatest team ever assembled.

Jordan's competition is so bad compared to LeBron. Jordan never faced any super team because his team was the fooking super team every year.

That bronze medal 04 team where Duncan was the best player, and Bron was like the 10th man as a rookie?

:lol

So the 2007 Spurs, 2018 Warriors were greatest teams ever? Also the 2014 Spurs and 2017 Warriors (who would have lost to the Spurs had Kawhi not gone down)?
Hell the 1998 Jazz beat Hakeem/Barkley/Drexler, then Duncan/Robinson and then Shaq/Kobe/Van Exel and Eddie Jones. They would smoke any team Lebron was on. Hell Lebron was losing to Carlos Arroyo and Greece in International play.

So was prime Duncan :oldlol: He also lost to an 8 seed

Lebron didn't even make the playoffs in the West as soon as he went there and this in his prime. Also won bronze medals twice.

^ This guy was leading that Bronze team :lol

[PickernRoller]

So, if, according to Bran stans, Duncan is so shit how do these kids rationalize his boy getting owned by the old Fundamental twice, almost 3 times for a complete sweep were it not for Ray Allen and Pop's brain fart?

That's obviously glossing over the fact that y'all are avoiding the topic by going after OP. Aka he already won, but we knew that the second he made the thread.

[Gileraracer]

Is it the same guy who went 3-9 despite being part of several superteams?

[Kblaze8855]

Same way Kareem, Magic, and Shaq did I suppose. Magic was swept twice in the finals and lost in 5 another time, Kareem was swept twice, and Shaq was swept in 95 and lost in 5 in 04.

Not that any of it really matters once you apply some context....

[Duncan21formvp]

Yes same guy.:cheers:

[superduper]

Jordan's competition is so bad compared to LeBron. Jordan never faced any super team because his team was the fooking super team every year.

3 rounds out of 4 were tougher for Jordan.

1 round out of 4 was tougher for Bran.

These are just straight up facts.

Lebron has the same amount of rings as a guy in his own era that has played 6 less seasons than Lebron. :oldlol: And lost 3 of 4 series against him.
Also this player has 2 league mvp's as well.

[egokiller]

OP already won this argument after the first post

Exactly!!

Lebron was on vacation missing the playoffs 3x and bringing home bronze medal twice to America.
