Dude had Wade playing like a Finals MVP and absolutely choked. Nobody gives a **** about taking garbage Cavs teams to the Finals in a pathetic Eastern conference. |

It’s just that a lot of people point to his Finals record and say he lost in the Finals too many times. Well, one way to avoid that is to not drag pretty average teams to the Finals against the Pop Spurs or KD Warriors. Just lose before then. Same deal with Mahomes. People will point to the losses in the postseason against Brady. We all know that Brady could never drag a Sutton defense to within a coin flip of the Super Bowl. Brady might have died on the field if he played against the Bucs pass rush with that OL Mahomes had in that Super Bowl.

The Mavs loss is the obvious black eye on LeBron’s resume. I don’t think anyone disputes that.

This isn't football we're talking about, the ultimate team sport. There aren't 21 other starters. A guy like MJ or Lebron has way more of an impact with fewer players and playing both ways. |

For instance, it proves the point better to compare 6 rings vs 4 rings than to compare their records in the Finals. And obviously, that’s ONLY when comparing the best players ever (sorry Robert Horry). I absolutely agree that MJ has the best total resume of any NBA player, but going 6/6 in the Finals isn’t the reason. While it’s impressive, not making the Finals those other years doesn’t make him more impressive imo.

Credit where credit’s due, that Cavs team that consisted of Lebron, Kyrie, and a bunch of JAGs that beat a loaded Golden State team is the counter to his finals loss to the Mavs.

Whispers: Brady got absolutely depantsed by Spags in the 07' Super Bowl but escapes blame in spite of having one of the greatest offenses of all time around him. Dude could not recognize a single blitz coming from our balla ass coordinator.

It was impressive, but that Warriors team had injuries and clearly ran out of gas down the stretch after chasing 73 wins. And you said it yourself, Kyrie was absolutely phenomenal. He played at an MVP level too, and made the big shot. Lebron doesn't get all the credit, but it's definitely his most impressive championship. It definitely made up for the Mavs choke job partially, but it didn't completely erase that. You could never erase that, especially when you're trying to argue that he's the GOAT over MJ. |

I think it's just that nobody is going to beat you up for any SB losses after you win 7

And the MJ cult still clinging to the past got to it. It was a nice few posts of good logic while it lasted.
