No, the "literal loser" is the guy in your avatar who "literally lost" in the first round. The guy who is about to win his 4th championship is a "literal winner." That is kind of how it works. If it is so easy to win a "bubble championship" another team would do it. Sorry you have wasted your life attacking someone that isn't a billion times more successful than you will ever be in your pathetic life, but more successful than even the losers you worship will ever be. Congrats on your first round exit though. Giving up over 150 points is definitely something that is iconic.

Let's address the elephant in the room here.



Why cant a so called GOAT not get the job done when it matters?
Especially with the cherry picked collusions, multiple times

If you're an all time great, probably fair.

But GOAT is just not the right to word to use on someone who's lost this many times when it mattered.

Simple

Why do you act like the 2012 lock out and current bubble are lebron's fault? Like winning these years is somehow a knock on him. Should he have forfeited these years? Just not tried to win?

[TheGoatest]

Why do you act like the 2012 lock out and current bubble are lebron's fault? Like winning these years is somehow a knock on him. Should he have forfeited these years? Just not tried to win?

Why do we act like the fact that he has proven he can win under ordinary, as well as extraordinary circumstances is not more impressive than if he could only win under ordinary circumstances:

- Won during a shortened 66 game season, where there were on average significantly fewer days of rest between games than during an ordinary season. Also, it is worth mentioning that this season still required one more playoff win (16) than any of Jordan's playoff runs, which required 15 wins
- Won during two ordinary 82 game seasons, with two different teams
- About to win a season where a historically unique break happened mid-season, just days after he beat what were considered his main contenders (Clippers and Bucks)

Basically, throw any situation at The Great LeBron James and he will win. If you put him on Mars, he will win. That's just how great LeBron is.

[coin24]

The only thing I wouldn’t asterisk is a bubble title. 2016 was a rig job, same with 2012. I blame 2013 on pops and his stubborn coaching, they had that series and pissed it away.

All teams had their chances in the bubble. It was even, no home court advantages, no fans etc. it’s just half the teams showed up not giving a shit..

Does it ever bother you that every single sane person think you're retarded, and you wouldn't be taken seriously in any normal conversion between adults?

Never happens again.

Even if another Jordan is created, that player is not good enough to make 9 finals in 10 years. Not happening.

How about actually finishing the marathon? Cause Jordan did it 6x. You have to remember Lebron has only done it 3-4x that was his max.

when did lebron's Finals streak begin?

was it before or after he formed a super-team in a conference that weak teams were routinely winning?

aka was it before or after stacking the deck

MJ could only handle 3 finals in a row. Had to retire twice after that

well in that case it must be a fairly easy thing to achieve the - all it takes is having a good team. thanks for letting us know. :applause:


surely you must then have examples of other players who achieved this?

Just to spite you LeBron went to the supposedly tougher conference and took a lottery team to a championship in 2 years :oldlol:
He's gonna win a ring just for the lolz. What a fking God :bowdown:

Russell went to 9 in 10 and won 9 of them, including 8 straight..... then went back to back as coach/player after that streak ended.
