    I saw an impression on Rob Parker online that I thought was pretty good. Y'all should check it out.

    Other than that, Parker been trying to make LeBron catchphrases since he was in Miami. Even for him, this was just lazy.

    No other player would be criticized for making it to the Finals 10 times, even if they had lost 6 of them. Gotta take the good with the weird, I guess.

    Most players in the league don't collude in as many teams as lebon. If you bring yourself in a strong position to reach and win the finals, and fail, that should be damning for you to experience it 6 times. Imagine being the favorite to win in most of your finals and coming up short 6x. What does that tell you about yourself as a player?

    LeBron was the underdog in 7 of his 10 Finals

    Unfortunately in 3 of these finals, Lebron was the favorite at pre-season. The 12 Heat, and 15, 16 Cavs were favored to win the title, as you can verify this yourself from the link below:

    So nope, Lebron being an underdog is not an excuse for his lackluster record in NBA Finals. He only won 3 out of 6 times that his team was pre-season favorite, and considering his opponents(12 Thunder, 15/16 Warriors) did not make any major trade to improve their rosters in the mid-season, it is 100% on Lebron for failing to bring the team to its potential. You cant complain about being an underdog right before the finals, when you underperformed while your opponents overachieved

    That he still has good longevity over many players, perhaps?

    We can't count a bubble. Not authentic basketball. Donovan Mitchell and Jamal Murray had more 50+ point games in 1 round than Lebron, Shaq, Kobe, Duncan, Russell, Hakeem, Dirk, Garnett, Kawhi, Kareem, Magic, Bird had in there career in the playoffs.

    So those dudes were dropping 50 and Kawhi could only score 14 in Game 7?

    If those two could score 50+, why couldn't a superior player in Cuckwhi? Are you calling him a mental midget?

    Dude, you don't even how seasons work from year to year in the NBA. Maybe learn that first, then look up who has the most Finals losses.

    Yeah, among all winners of MVPs, Lebron has 6 losses in the finals while the second places had like 4, its not even a close contest when it comes to FFOAT.
