Lebron has 4 gold medals and 6 silver medals.

[StrongLurk]

This is the right framing on "finals recordings". It's always cringe when Lebron haters act like his finals record is somehow a negative on his resume . Lebron in reality has 4 gold medals, 6 silver medals. It is NOT better to miss than finals than to lose in the finals.

By the way, "gold medals" need to have a FMVP with it. So let's look at the results below.

MJ: 6 gold medals
Lebron: 4 gold medals, 6 silver medals
Shaq: 3 gold medals, 2 silver medals
Duncan: 3 gold medals, 1 silver medal
Magic: 3 gold medals, 4 silver medals
Kareem: 2 gold medals, 4 silver medals
Kobe: 2 gold medals, 2 silver medals
Bird: 2 gold medals, 2 silver medals
Durant: 2 gold medals, 1 silver medal
Curry: 1 gold medal, 2 silver medals

Yet still, 6 gold medals looks better than 4 golds & 6 silver.


.

Maybe, maybe not. I generally agree with you.

How about this.

What is better out of the below options.

Option 1: 6 Gold Medals
Option 2: 6 Gold Medals, 2 Silver Medals.

I like the idea that losing in the finals as favorites can be masked as a "silver" win.

Stupid comparison.

If you finish 2nd in the Olympics, you get a silver medal.

If you lose the NBA finals, you get nothing.

[Hey Yo]

Better to play for Gold than watching on TV.

LeBron has 3 golds, 1 bronze in the olympics.

Jordan has 2.


LeBron also better olympic performer and olympic MVP at age 39.


LeBron is a vastly better performer in he olympics vs tougher competition than Jordan was.




Jordan worship is 100% nostalgia at this point.

Imagine having the best second option in the history of the sport.....

And being a perennial play in guy with him.

And imagine stanning a guy who has the most choke jobs in the history of the sport.

It's to represent a second place finish and how finishing second is not a "negative" lol. Guess you are too dumb to understand.

2nd place is 2nd place

Obviously WINNING is the ideal outcome, but getting second place is better than missing the finals completely.

What up, stinkpot?

It was primarily directed toward that insecure Canadian 8ball.

Also, they didn't have the play in tourney back when Wilt played. FYI.

I've never seen anyone ever try to dispute that. It's a straw man argument created by Bronies.

However, one finals WIN is worth more than an infinite number of second places.

I remember John8204 telling in another thread about preferring a team making the finals multiple times and not winning over a team appearing to win the title and not appear again. To each his own, i guess.
