LeBron only have 4 championship in 22 years, Jordan have 6 championship in 15. That’s why Jordan is rank higher than LeBron on the all times list.

It's a knock on Lebron that his preseason favorite and veteran super-team was an underdog to baby Westbrick.

Oddsmakers hated Lebron because he lost as the favorite for 3 straight years from 09-11', so they made his veteran super-team an underdog to baby Westbrick in 2012.

Furthermore, Lebron's Finals underdog status is due to weak regular season records and not his rosters, since his rosters are initially favored as the preseason favorite.

He only won 50-57 games with preseason favorites in 12', 14', 16', and 21', so he fell to underdog each year... Lebron's teams were preseason favorite for a record 6 straight times from 11' to 16' (previous record was 3) and also 2021.

A pattern of falling to underdog despite favored talent is a sign of a skillset that produces low team ceilings.. Bad records on the championship level (Finals) also indicate low team ceilings.. Lebron's ball-dominance or need to go "down-hill" turns everyone into spot-up shooter and lacks ball movement or chemistry, thus underperforming favored talent (preseason favorites).

[Hey Yo]

Ayesha Curry claimed the NBA is 'absolutely rigged' after Steph fouled out in Game 6

"I've lost all respect sorry this is absolutely rigged for money... Or ratings in not sure which. I won't be silent . Just saw it live sry."

tweeted in the heat of the moment because the call was uncalled for.

Police racial profiled my father and told him to remove credentials and tried to arrest him. It's been a long night for me. I apologize:

I'm okay that we lost... I just can't take people coming at my family for absolutely no reason. Something I don't understand or stand for.

It doesn't matter if you face a super-team if you have a super-team yourself and the favored roster on paper (preseason favorite).

The issue is that Lebron-ball barely won 50 games with the preseason favorite, so he fell to underdog... But Lebron had better rosters than all his opponents when he won the Finals

Lebron beat an injured Warriors team in 2016 or the Heat in 2020, or the injured Celtics in 2018 (no Kyrie).. Kyrie would've beaten Lebron in 2018, which would've been nice to see, but I guess we'll have to settle for other evidence, such as Luka doing better with Kyrie (Finals) than he did with Lebron (1st Round loser).

But the original point is the MJ achieved preseason favorite status in 1992 by winning in 1991, while Lebron achieved preseason favorite status by forming super-teams from 2011 to 2016 (6 straight years of hand-picked preseason favorites)... And of course the other issue is that Lebron-ball barely won 50 games with the preseason favorite, so he fell to underdog or loser all 6 years (except the Allen miracle).

Pippen locked up Magic after Jordan petered out trying to do so. He was too worried about stat padding on offense.

MJ was the primary defender on Magic and guarded him for over 70% of possessions in the series, i.e. the entirety of Games 1, 4, 5 and also the 1st/4th/OT of Game 3.

MJ is the only perimeter player to win a Finals while being the primary defender on a top 10 all-time player, AND dominating offensively.

Unlike Jordan, Pippen literally never locked anyone up as the primary defender - everyone torched Pippen (Dominique, X-Man, Nance, Penny, Schrempf, and many more)

Lebron had to leave his team to join forces with a guy who won as the man.
