Lebron's tenure as a Laker has been very lame
He had one pandemic championship and that is it..
The first year he didn't make the playoffs.
The 3rd year got knocked out in the first round.
The 4th year missed the play in with Westbrook
The 5th year got swept against Jokic
The 6th year gentlemen swept against Jokic
The 7th year Wolves won in 5
That's not very good Lakers nation.... That's not very good at all. So what's the point of LONGEVITY if it doesn't do anything to help you win?

Agreed, Lebron is only the second oldest FMVP winner ever (35 years old in 2020). Totally USELESS longevity with that guy.

Meh. Nobody counts the bubble ring. And even so, LeShrivel got carried by AD and never could repeat it. Obvious fluke.
Let's face it, his Lakers tenure has been massive underachievement and failure to meet expectations.
Truth hurts.

MJ in the finals at age 35: beats one of the greatest teams that never won a finals.
Lebron in the finals at age 35: drops two games to the weakest finals team in the history of the sport.
Nice try, Dudley. :roll:

And Avery Bradley decided not to join the bubble, he was a starter for the Lakers during the season. People miss a lot of details like this.

Hornecek & Stockton were well past their prime by this point. Only Malone was still playing at a superstar level.
The funny thing is Adam Keefe was their starting center most of that '98 season, that was the only season he was ever a starter. Utah basically had a bench warmer center starting for them. :lol

Here's another factoid for ya:
MJ was coming off winning two straight titles, and then proceeded to win his third straight. Oh yeah, something Lebron was never able to do.
Lebron was coming off leading his team to the lottery.

By that logic Bill Russell won 8 rings in a row, he must be superior to MJ.
And nice job changing the subject.
We done with the 90's. :lol

Meltdown. :roll:
And Jordan is STILL consensus GOAT, no matter how much you hate it and throw bitch fits about it.

[I]Michael Jordan’s Defensive Player Of The Year Award May Have Been Fraudulent Due To Seemingly Fake Stats[/I]
[I]Haberstroh ultimately tracked down six tapes from home games during that campaign and found multiple discrepancies while determining Jordan only had 12 legitimate steals despite being credited with a grand total of 28.
Bob Rosenberg—the stat keeper who retired in 2023 after working for the Bulls since their inaugural season in 1965—didn’t respond to a request for comment after the revelation came to light, but something smells very, very fishy.[/I]
