I mean you have to be a great talent to get criticized for only winning two titles out of six.

I mean that's crazy. Most can't even win one.

We're not comparing him to everyone else. We're comparing him to the all time greats.

lebron does deserve some credit for his annual donation of 3xl championship tshirts to africa every year

I really think some people who are fans of basketball (really any sport or even some fans of teams that have won tons of championships) lose perspective of how hard it is for a team to win a championship.

Most aren't crowned as the Chosen One coming out of high school and predict seven championships.

 

[ill steelo]

I'll go Pacers, Hornets and Blazers.

You think Miami is done P?

The Heat have slowed down since the hot start to the series. Hornets have exploited Whiteside's defense and maintained their defensive principles.

I can't argue.

Being objective on here? About lebron?

You're right fam

basically this.

lebron couldn't be one of the greats because it's too hard

also the third greatest player of all time. surely the 3rd greatest player of all time should be held to a higher standard then the chris pauls of the nba.

No thats not what I'm saying at all Individual greatness is not measured by championships because there has not been a single great to win a championship on his own. Its always teams that had great seasons, teams that got hot at the right time, players on the teams began to flourish in a new system, multiple great talents on one team. It takes great TEAMS (or a team to play great) to win championships.

undercover lebron stans agreeing on something . how cute.

We all saw Bron's track record when he finally got on a powerhouse squad, 2-2. Room for improvement sure but we fault him for losing against another great squad too? The Dallas situation was a complete meltdown and all criticism from that is understood.

First time around IDK how the hell they even made a run to the Finals. Against GS they hung around but once the adjustments were made that was that.

They all count at the end of the day regardless of the situation but I still think you need to acknowledge the situation if y'all get what I'm trying to say.

Riiight.

LeBron simply needs more help.

name a top 10 player without at least 2 championships

everything in sports is measured by championships, thinking differently is just a loser mentality.

there's a reason lebron stans love to bring up 2 > 0 when talking about melo

there's a reason these are not called the jordan 5 MVPs
