impressive to lj fans only, people who are objective and can see it for what it is know the real deal.
Do buffalo bills fans still brag about making 4 consecutive superbowls... I've seen people reply that the stat showin victories against 50 plus win teams is silly or ppl just trying to throw shade but nobody has explained why its not accurate or how its silly....

Uhh, he played 10.
'81 Rockets
'84 Kings
'84 Suns
'85 Suns
'86 Spurs
'87 Nuggets
'87 Sonics
'88 Spurs
'89 Blazers
'90 Rockets
Not including the teams who made it by the skin of their teeth at 42-40 like the '85 Blazers and '87 Warriors.
The '87 Lakers were one Warriors loss away from their ENTIRE path to the Finals being .500 or below:
1st round: 37-45 Nuggets
2nd round: 42-40 Warriors
Conf. Finals: 39-43 Sonics
Combined record: 118-128.
People then just generally didn't have a weird need to discredit everything Magic did the way they currently do with LeBron.

think maybe we're a generation of haters?
Big difference is from 1980 to 1984, there were only 2 series' before the Finals.
There was also like 22 teams in all of basketball during that era. IE, fewer teams to even reach 50 wins.
Magic still reached 13 series wins over 50+ win teams, and his 5 titles, and he did it in a shortened career. He retired at 31, right where Bron will be in 6 months.
Magic played in 39 Playoff series from 1980-91. This will be Bron's 33rd.
When is one of y'all gonna bring some of that up?
I have to do everything around here?
I'm reppin JD because at least he goes back and reviews actual facts. Good stuff man. (surprised the 89 Blazers are on that list, truly. )

Big difference is magic has a winning record in the finals... Lj does not. Facts are facts.you best believe if magic was 3-6 in the finals he would have gotten plenty of "shade" or "hate "

Debatable, but let's see how Bron's career ends and then we can go in on that. He's still got plenty of years left to try and win rings.

Jerry West doesn't get shade or hate......
I mean.......he was 5-4. *shrugs*
None of us saw him play.
That includes me, you animals, shut your filthy mouths and your lame jokes. Stop.

Is he retiring after this season?

Lebron's hairline is sooooo lulz tho

I stand corrected in that matter... People then also didn't have the weird need to ascend players past legends before they deserved it. It took Kobe/Duncan 5 rings for people to even consider them being top 5, yet somehow Lebron is suppose to be unanimously in the convo despite not accomplishing what the others in those groups did?
the comp and the amount of monumental losses he's taken in comparison to the others leaves a BIG GAP yet somehow people want to push that aside.
Also if we have these stats on Bron & Magic and see those numbers... shouldnt guys like Mike & Kobe be held in an even higher regard considering they have literally trippled those numbers?

if he goes 2-4 probs.

In what stats category besides rings has Kobe or Mike tripled Lebron. I'd love to know.

How does that make him free of slander?

The GOAT ship sailed in 2011 against DAL. He loses again this year, he can't get into that Kobe, Shaq, Duncan tier for me. Another finals appearance next year won't mean a damn thing.

What can we slander? He's the damn logo of the league, but not a single one of us ever watched him ball, once.
All I know is he faced the Celtics on the reg, and always came up short. He somehow won Finals MVP, in a series he lost, which is either scary impressive, or weird voters back in the day.
I also know he never won MVP of the league.
Other than that., I know him more as a GM than I do a player. How can I shade him?
