Only those who are held up to a GOAT standard. If you're trying to argue Lebron's case, you have to take some points off for his losing Finals record. How can he be MJ or Kareem or Duncan or Kobe, when he's come up short 6x on the big stage? And no, he doesn't have to be 100% in the Finals, that's only something MJ was capable of. The 2011 Finals loss is too much to overcome IMO.

Lebron lost the most this season. Lost the ample respect that people had for him. Showed clearly how big ADs contribution to last year and this year’s success was to the Lakers. Showed that a hobbling AD playing kept the series alive at 2-2. Showed that Lebron gives up on teammates. Showed that he does not creat a winning culture. He needs readymade stars to win and he needs to be physically dominany to win. He showed lack of skills and versatility with his offense, limited to barreling his way through opponents. He showed lack of sportsmanship. All because of this year’s early exit.

I honestly had him at top2-3 before. I said this year should not have affected that, but it did. No way he is ahead of bird and magic with that mentality.

Would be their first finals. Save for Giannis, they'd all be underdogs too. None of them would be rebuked for it. This isn't a LeBron situation where you stack the deck and lose as the favorite.

so bran shouldnt win more games he should have lost sooner like 1-9 mike? should kd do the same?

Like I said, he didn't need to be 100% but he lost way too many times with HCA or as the clear favorite. MJ never lost with HCA.

KD is the only one on that list who's expected to win anything. Jokic doesn't have a legacy of anything except a great passing big. It's not like he's won anything other than individual accolades. Same with Giannis about the individual accolades. CP has a lot to gain but not much to lose. Most people here or elsewhere thought the Suns might be eliminated 1st round but then that's been CPs legacy right? Taking teams that aren't projected to do amazing and elevating them to overperforming. It would be amazing to win a Championship that way but CP hasn't shown he can do that either.

Again, KD's Nets are LARGELY favored over any of the teams remaining. If he doesn't win it would be quite the black mark

so kawhi, Durant and especially Giannis.... outside chance booker, mitchell

for guys like cp3, George and harden it would be a bonus for them to just make the finals since they no longer have any shot at legendary status due to all the choking.



I've tried explaining this to lebron fans but they just keep ignoring me. the new bar/standard for being GOAT is having zero blemishes in the finals


if you're chasing goat status then losing in the finals is bad

if you're just trying to be like everyone else then it's OK


Lebron fans should have just compared their guy to a more suitable legend like magic or bird.. but nooooo.. they had to pick MJ

No, but if your team is the favorite to win it all and you lose with HCA, you're not on MJ's level.

The issue is that some of my Lebron fam members act as if Finals losses are as impressive as Finals wins with Lebron putting up 30/10/10 while losing by a historic margin.

Kawhi, Giannis, Booker, and Mitchell have a chance at being the goat? Maybe it's time to go back on another 5 year hiatus if those are the kind of takes you're gonna putting out.

Kawhi and Giannis sure do, the other 2 maybe not but they're so young and have great teammates so who the hell knows. No one had Steph as a future top 20 GOAT at age 24 either, he made his first Playoffs and won his first series at age 25 and it trended up from there, who's to say that Mitchell and Booker can't get to that level?

Kawhi if he starts on a tear for the next 5 years, but he is already breaking down. Also noone is going to put him on a goat trajectory when he plays like a punk during RS. Giannis has no chance, even if he wins a few rings. He's an incredibly limited player that is so dominant purely due to his size and strength. Unless he develops some level of skill that an average NBA player has when it comes either shooting or scoring.


Luka if he develops his game might, but he has something special. Book and Mitchell on other hand.. nah. Mitchell a lot of games is the 3rd most impactful player on his team where Conley and CC are his teammates. Both would need to raise their game a lot. Steph is just an outlier, his improvement (as well as Kawhi's) are things you generally don't see.

Booker and Mitchell are only 24, we can't really say for certain because they're great offensively and have great teammates, so if they can go up another level as they hit their peak years, who the hell knows. If Kawhi wins this year, that's 3 rings/3 FMVPs with 3 different teams and the Clippers are good enough to contend for another 2-3 years, I don't really see a decline in his Playoff production yet so if he ends up with 4-5 rings and FMVPs, he'll definitely be mentioned among the GOATs by some people. Giannis has the RS production, is an elite 2-way player and his team is good enough to contend for titles, so it's a matter of coming through in the POs, he's not out of it yet at age 26, Jordan didn't win his first before age 28.

Luka and Jokic both have top 5 GOAT potential as players, but like everyone else, they'll need incredible luck (great teammates, no injuries) and longevity to have a comparable resume.

if you lose in the first round then its obvious you're nowhere near title contention. it's very very rare like dirk in 2007. and even then the mavs weren't the clear cut favorite. the Spurs had a way deeper team

when you make the finals and have a team built to win championships and you fail.. that takes you out of goat contention. because whenever jordan had a finals team he won. simple as that. worry about lebron vs magic all time debates and we'll stop mocking your boyfriend

any extremely young star that's on the cusp of winning titles has a shot at being GOAT some day. why wouldn't they. who knows how good they can be

nobody thought Jordan was much more than a ball hog loser back in the mid 80s

Giannis is a 2 time mvp and could suddenly develop into a more all around player. if that ever happened it would be lights out for everyone else

kawhi lost in the finals in 2013 but I dont think many people would hold that against him. he's a 2 time dpoty and 2 time fmvp

with jokic winning.league mvp just cause everyone else skipped too many games then who knows. he might win one or two if he's lucky. and he will likely be on a contender for the next 10 years since he has that lebron like ability to rig himself a better situation. so what if any of these guys run off a few titles. then you're in position to be taken seriously. but they won't be if they lose too many finals like leb*tch

It's all relative.

For Chris Paul, simply making the Finals would be a boost.

Jokic would also get a boost.

KD's legacy would take a hit.

Giannis needs a miracle to win the series he's in right now. If he somehow does, that's a boost. If he doesn't at least make a series out of it, it's another hit against him.



* By the way, Did Bron's legacy take a hit after getting swept in the '07 Finals?

theres only around 15 or so guys with complete careers.. after that it's less about being a champion, mvp, finals mvp triple threat and more about having a legendary career while just coming up short


rings/mvps are more of a tie breaker between top tier players than what makes a top tier player. cause sometimes the media gets it wrong or someone wins a ring without really deserving it. bit when a guy has a near 20 year career dominating the game like Karl Malone its more than evident that there wasn't just some abnormality fluke anomaly involved


its mostly about context. something letards will never understand

Giannis is never getting a jumper, period. Only way he succeeds is if Jrue balls enough in the 4th Q. You don't start to develop elite shooting or scoring at age 26 when your shot is as broken as he is. Either jRue turns into a star, or he pairs with another top end guard in the next 2 years. People need to stop giving Giannis false hope with him getting jumper.

We'll see with Mitchell and Book, but saying goat potential is crazy to me. You have to become an elite player, in the top 10, then top 3-4 in the league and then you can start having discussions. Just way too early relative to their accomplishments. Only players in the last 20 years I can say goat potential is Bron in his first 3 years.

Kawhi I guess has a shot, but to me his chance lies more in top 20, 15 if he continues winning. He will always be regular season loser because he rests 20% of the season, I wouldn't put this guy in the goat list even if he won 3-4 more rings.



I don't put anyone in goat discussions until they earn a lot more equity and so far noone is on that list. I think Luka might have top 10 potential, but he needs to change a lot of his game and their GM needs to get to work.

Lebron. Lost to a bunch of Playoff virgins and a washed up/injured CP3 in the first round. :kobe:

This!. Also won 2 bronze medals in basketball.

lol @ this thread. Pulling the mental gymnasts out of the woodwork left and right... those that remain, anyways.

Imagine thinking getting to the Finals and losing somehow detracts from your legacy. This is literally a standard that was invented specifically to argue against LeBron's greatness. It's just made up. It doesn't mean anything.

From a basketball standpoint, LeBron has a grand total of 1 huge stain on his career... the 2011 Finals. Nobody anywhere disputes it. But that's it. The rest is just desperation looking for any reason to detract. His career has otherwise been virtually flawless.

Also... his all time ranking is unknowable, because all time rankings are unknowable.

He's an opportunistic piece of shit on a personal level but basketball? **** out of here, lol.

cp3 if he loses , his lagacy will be tarnished , but still a HOF selection.

Giannis if he loses , no big deal - he will be back.
(If he wins it not only solidifies a HOF but could be in PF of all time list. )

Nobody thinks that. Literally nobody. Losing in the finals only "hurts" when you're the favorite to WIN a championship. Or when a player is compared with contemporaries, who have equal or BETTER team success. Again, nobody says losing in the 1st round is greater than making a finals. That's cheap psychology from LeBron fans.

I've had a number of them tell me LeBron winning 4 and losing 6 > someone going 5/7. Which means they'd rather have 4 extra appearances over another ring. :oldlol: The imbecile OP was one of them.

The Suns and Bucks are lucky as hell that they faced depleted rosters on their way to the Finals.

Just like the Raptors back in the 2019 Finals.

finals losses only hurt if you wanna become the goat. to guys like chris paul making the finals is good win or lose. for giannis you have to win cause he has goat potential.

lebron fans don't understand this. if you're chasing MJ you can't lose. if you're chasing everyone else its ok... because mike is the only league mvp without a finals loss and a bunch of rings

anyone else with 3 or more has a loss on their record

In the end, I think they do actually get it...they just think if they gaslight us enough, maybe we can be swayed.

We can't though.

These guys would be mentally abusive to girlfriends, if they could get one.
Thank god they can't

Giannis doesn't have GOAT potential.

Top 10-15 yes. But not the god tier level of Magic/Kareem/MJ/Bron and one or two others

Wrong, there are actually few fans like Skip that "hate" LeBron. We damn well know he's an all time great, but we also know he's not the undisputed GOAT y'all LBJ ******gers try to sell him as. Bron is top 10 GOAT, #8 on my list, had to knock him down a bit after his embarrasing first round exit.
