I'm sorry, anyone who votes for '09-'12 Lebron over prime Bird, Magic or Russell deserves to be maimed by a kolala bear.

Yep, two bad series (including one...the 2011 series...that was more about Lebron's mental confusion of how to fit in with the team than his ability level) out of a period of four years means that this player was not an amazing player.
Wtf.
We are talking about peak level of play here. We aren't necessarily talking about how they performed. We only look at how they performed because that is the evidence to use when trying to evaluate a player's ability...and as said, two series out of four years is not indicative of a player's ability. Damn, i thought this was obvious.
