He didn’t lose either once he had it.
Lebron lost with his super team (twice) and ran like a bitch after to form another younger one. This third time everybody will excuse him though beacuse his teams awful and the super team fell apart (partly because of him). [Reply]

Jordan ran to play baseball in the middle of his prime [Reply]
Lebron kept trying to put himself in the best position to win a championship. Why is that bad? It’s the standard we are measuring him to atleast [Reply]

They won 55 without mj. Wasn’t the east so much tougher during that time? [Reply]

I really don’t give a **** what they did in a meaningless regular season. They still looked like an average playoff team when it mattered. My point still stands. That team doesn’t win one championship without MJ. [Reply]

I’d say it’s pretty super, no?
Lol, whatever dude.
You don’t get to count Jordan as he was one of those HOFer’s. We’re talking about the team around him. Pippen was just coming into his own and hadn’t established himself as an NBA Elite. Grant was a solid player. The rest of that roster was garbage. I mean, seriously, look at it.
That roster isn’t much better than the one Lebron had the first time he went to the Finals, where Lebron got swept.
Jordan’s first Finals turned out a little better . . . . . [Reply]

Guess it depends which narrative you want to push
What is there to excuse? He left on top of his game and returned on top of his game. He didn’t run like a bitch because he lost and he came back better than ever. He delivered, so it’s irrelevant. [Reply]

So when presented with counter evidence, you don’t give a fuck.
The won 55 in the supposed tough ass east of the time, which would suggest he had a pretty good team around him [Reply]

He didn’t run like a bitch? He deserted his team (because of gambling? I dunno)
Things that don’t agree with my opinion is irrelevant. Good to know [Reply]

Lebron first finals were in what his 3rd season? At 21? [Reply]
