In this what-if

Lebron four peats with the heat and is the Finals MVP in three of there title-winning runs beside the 2011 finals as Wade wins the award that year and also still wins the title in 2020 with the Lakers.


But from 2015 to 2018 he never wins a title with the Cavs as instead, he loses 4 straight finals to the Warriors before leaving to go to the Lakers in the 2018 offseason.







How would you view his legacy and overall career if he had a four-peat with the heat and plus a title with the Lakers but never delivered a title to Cleveland for his entire career despite the fact that he went to 5 finals with them in 2007,2015,2016,2017,2018?








For one I think that heat team from 2010 to 2014 and D wade get massively boosted from four-peating and also winning a finals MVP in 2011.


As a result, I think Wade with 2 finals MVPs and 5 titles ensures that there is a serious debate between him and Kobe on who should be ranked as the second greatest shooting guard in Nba history.






Also, other players legacies are seriously affected by the Heat four peating from 2011 to 2014.



Dirk and Kidd never get a ring before they retire meaning that Dirk would nowadays be viewed as a career loser instead of a loyal winner that he was.


Plus Tim never wins his 5th title before he retires in 2016

Would be four peating with the heat plus winning 3 finals mvp during that run be more impressive for Lebron's Legacy then winning in 2016 was as if even you take that away from him.


He would still be seating nowadays on 5 rings and 4 finals MVPs plus he would have erased the black mark on his legacy that was the 2011 finals.



Or would not winning with the Cavs and then leaving them twice after failing his to fulfil his promise to them be worse for his legacy then the 2011 finals was.

Too bad 2011 is a non removable stain on any player's resume.
