LeBron and Bill Russell - the 2 GOAT winners :bowdown:


Jordan Ball could only get to 6 finals

Bird Ball only got to 5 Finals

Hakeem Ball only got to 3 Finals

Duncan Ball only got to 6 Finals

Shaq Ball got to 6 Finals

Kobe Ball only got to 7 Finals even though he wasnt the best player in most of them

Making 10 finals in modern era is impossible feat. Won't ever be done again.

Yes, and most of those EC opponents had mediocre/bottom 10 offenses, like all the teams he faced in his Finals run in '13 leading up to the Spurs series w/ zero 50+ win teams to beat in order to get there lol.

They don't play alone. There was no such thing as jordan ball (triangle offense. And that east conference was garbage

LeBron had a 15ppg 2nd option in 2013 and didnt have any all star teammates in 2016

He also won with only 1 other all star in 2020

Very easy question.

He played in a very weak conference with super teams.

For example, in most of the ECF series:

His 2nd option was better than (or sometimes similar) the opponents 1st option

and his 3rd option was better than the opponent the opponents 2nd option

2011:
Wade > Rose
Bosh > Deng

2012:
Wade > Garnett
Bosh >= Rondo

2013:
Wade > George
Bosh > West

2014:
Wade > George
Bosh > West

2015:
Kyrie > Teague
JR =< Millsap

2016:
Kyrie > Lowry
Love >= Derozan

2017:
Kyrie > Horford
Love > Bradley

2018:
Love >= Brown
Hill < Tatum

In most of those series, "his teams without him" were almost better than the opponent teams.

Plus, you add those teams Lebron who you call "GOAT".

Of course, they would play beat those opponents and reach Finals.

OP...your gaslighting still doesn't work here.

And we cbf repeating ourselves

You know why

Real question is...why does he lose so often, even though he stacks his teams?

And why couldn't he come close to winning a chip before collusion? (Being swept doesn't count)

Lebron stans are the only ones who parade reaching the NBA finals in a historically weak conference the same as WINNING the championship.

Lebron is a taller version of the same career-losing, ball-dominator skillset like CP3, Nash, Westbrook, Harden, etc - these guys had tons of chances and lost just like Lebron before "the decision" - Lebron simply separated himself by teaming up but everyone knows that Nash or CP3 win 3-4 titles with Wade/Bosh

So we don't know if Lebron can win without super-teams as the clear-cut top producer.. He certainly lacks the skills of guys that did (Kawhi,. MJ, Kobe, etc)

Because Roid is a shower, and not a grower. He’ll get you all wet for a ring but can never finish, leaving you feeling unsatisfied and disappointed. (And when he does finish it’s because he needed help like AD and kyrie, the viagra of lebrons rings.)

Because Lebron joined a team that was basically making the ECF without him, just like the 94' Bulls:



Playoffs

16' WADE...... 22.3 per.. 4.9 bpm.. 0.148 ws/48.. 0.8 vorp.. 22/6/4 on 47%
94' PIPPEN.... 22.8 per.. 5.6 bpm.. 0.149 ws/48.. 0.7 vorp.. 23/8/6 on 43%


This was after the injury year in 2015 when the Heat missed playoffs by 1/2 game despite Bosh/Wade missing 40 games..

Btw, it's clear that the reason everyone thought Wade wasn't good from 13-16' is because he'd fallen from elite Kobe/Jordan/Lebron-level to Pippen level, as the stats show above.

That’s why they missed the playoffs without him. LeBron is the difference

They missed the playoffs in 2015 by 1/2 game because Wade/Bosh missed 40 games - otherwise, they were easily a playoff team and very close to the 2014 level they had with Lebron - they were equal to a 1st Round Western team in 2014 (record blowout), so basically the same in 2015.
