Why is it when """"""""great"""""""" players fail to win the championship all of a sudden winning the championship doesn't matter?

Nobody says that

THE FUCK?

Read sports media the last few days. They are all making excuses for LeBeta

Stats vs. 'Ships is an argument as old as sports itself, why is this just a problem to you now?

Implying

usually if a player gets 2 chips in any sport, its considered enough to solidify them as great, if they have a great career.

Lebron already has 2 chips and a great career, therefore to some people it doesn't matter if he gets more.

peyton manning has 2 and he is regarded as one of the biggest chokers of all time

there are tons of no-name bench players with 2 chips you dip

>it doesn't matter if he gets more

No one would say this if Lebron was 6-0.

That's just pathetic

It's just excuses, LeBron is going to apart of the top two biggest lopsided finals losses in NBA history but the talking heads probably won't even mention that

LeBron had a shot to get 7 and become the literal basketball GOAT, possibly goat of any sport by surpassing MJ. Your argument is therefore invalid

He also put on the best finals performance in history last year over 6 games.

>user in charge of reading a box score or even scores

>it doesn't matter as long as you try your best

The last spurs series currently has the biggest point differential, they took one game but it barely made a dent since the spurs spanked them in the last three

Oh yeah, that's right. My bad.

>if they have a great career

Some greats didn't have the teams to win it all. Lebron has no excuse, though

He gets scrutiny for two distinct reasons:

1. He called himself the Chosen One prior to doing anything in the league. Called himself the best of all time (even tattooed it).

2. He took the past of least resistance every chance he could
>hid in the east
>ran to a loaded miami team
>team gets injured, runs back to a team with 3 straight #1 draft picks

I would have no problem with the second, if he hadn't done the first. Because at least at that point, it would be a reasonable assessment to say he is a great top 15 player all time, and that would be his general comparison. Instead, he set the precedent of being the greatest, and as such every bit of scrutiny he gets for not being the best is his own doing

agreed.

>stacked Heat teams
>hand-picked Cavs teams
>still finds ways to blame talent around him

if you are going to be considered top 10, top 5 all-time they definitely matter

Cavs in 6
