If Kawhi wins finals MVP again this year I'll slot him right behind Hakeem.
Chris Paul is at the kids table.

I hate when dudes get losing in the Finals or Super Bowl held against them.
It's just stupid. Like losing in the second round of that year would have made them greater.

You forgot to include Moses Malones 4 and Hakeem's 3
Also that list isnt that fair to Bill Russell and Wilt since their wasnt a NBA Finals MVP award most of their career

Losing is losing. Can't start picking losses that matter and losses that don't.

this is true
with that being said, getting to the conference finals or finals is slightly better than never making it past the second round

I mean, it does help shape a legacy.
Obviously 3-3 > 2-4
Did anyone see this sweep coming tho? A team minus Kevin Love and for the most part, Kyrie Irving, and they dismantled the Hawks.
Crazy when you think about it. There is no better player in the league right now, or a player who means more to his team than Lebron. This is a masterful playoff run. He's not surrounded by future HOFers (at the moment) like he was in Miami. He's putting the whole damn team on his back and willing them to wins.

I agree but so is winning.
The fact that Magic lost 4 Finals is irrelevant because he has 5 Championships

It goes back to what i said. Lebron and Jordans playoffs success is very similar at this point in LeBrons career. As hard as it is not to argue the two right now, he needs a full body of work to compare.

Its more appropriate to frame to around played seasons instead of age since Lebron came into the NBA at 18

But he still lost 4 times. You can't just ignore the losses and go "Oh well he won 5 times out of 9". Cool, what about the other 4? It happened. It's a part of history and it's relevant to his legacy and the legacy of those he lost to.
I was never a fan of the age comparison since it ignores what age they were they first came into the league. It's better to compare years played

Lebron went to the finals, got swept and then didn't see them again for another 4 years. Jordan went to the finals, won and never had a full season from him produce anything less than a championship after that
