It certainly takes a hit ... but that doesnt make me giddy.
And the shot he had at GOAT probably vanishes ...he is still in the running in my book.
I know this is a topic that makes Lakerfan giddy, but in the unlikely event Lebron doesn't ring this year, what kind of hit does his rep takes?

if he doesn't get one this year, will he ever get another ring with the Heat? or will he have to take his talents to LA or some already loaded team to get more rings?
But he neesds at least one repeat on his resume ... Mj has two 3 peats ...
I would think that Kobefan would rather see LeBron get his 2nd than Duncan get his 5th.
dunno why you clowns comparing him to be GOAT,
his resume looks more like bird/magic to me, with multiple mvps and consecutive finals appearances, win or not is another
He'll be 1-3 in NBA finals, that's tough stain in any great players resume.
Depends, IMO. If he spits the bit like in 2011 his rep will take a hit. If he beasts it and his supporting cast lays down on the job like in 2009 against Orlando it won't, imo.
Even if he wins another one next year a 2-5 record in the biggest stage is aweful.
on LG most (Kobe fanbois) grudgingly respect Tim and hate on James tbh ... very insecure about Lebron.

Jerry West was 1-8 in NBA Finals and was still thought of as "Mr. Clutch" and an all-time great and immortalized forever in the NBA's logo....
I think LeBron gets a mulligan for 2007 in the eyes of most people, imo.
Bird and Magic is not a fair comparison because they had each other ... to battle over the 80's ...
This is Lebron's time and his closest rival lost to the Grizz .. also, No Drose, No Granger .. Lebron should at least make the Finals and should win it.
I'll take your word for it. It must be tough for them to try and calculate the impact of every external event on Kobe's legacy.
He'll leave Miami; nothing but washed up s on there besides Bosh and Chalmers. He'll either go back to Cleveland, put up with Brwn, and ride Irving or head somewhere a bit more established and try to win there. Boiled down, since joining Miami, his career is now pretty much just riding coattails to rings.
On the opposite side of this hypothetical scenario, if Lebron wins again, he'll have done it with the worst supporting cast since 2006 Wade, tbh..
Wade and Bosh have severely under performed, and Miami's role players can't shoot anymore..
True. But Ive always thought West is overrated. Looking at the current Top 10 list, pretty much all have great Finals records except Wilt iirc. Lebron would still be Top 10 tbh but it would be a hard sell to put him ahead anyone if he keeps losing in the Finals.
Lebron is also ranked on the same scale as guys like Duncan and Hakeem, players that had to carry their teams on both sides of the floor without getting credit for it, while Aids, ugly-ass Larry Bird and Rapist get the same credit for playing on one side of the court
Duncan is 37 and still has to anchor a defense, while he doesn't get anywhere near the credit that Magic Johnson's gay ass gets, or even Bird and ing Kobe
jerry is not even top20
Acting like 2007 is a stain on lebrons resume is a joke. Getting that team the to finals is an accomplishment regardless of how he did in the finals. The only two big stains I see on lebrons resume are ting the bed against Dallas in 2011 and quitting on Cleveland in the 2010 Boston series. Every other year he's done more than you can expect based off the supporting cast he had.
Not bad cast they just are not playing well...as a unit ..
Chalmers dropped 20 last night ...
Haslem 17 game before ...
Bosh and wade look like role players not stars ...thats the problem and they are missing open 3's ...and getting killed on the boards.
I've already said many times that Lebron's choke against Dallas already eliminated him from talks with Dad Killer, tbh..
I just find it funny that Lebron is carrying an offense while guarding both George and West, while guys like Magic/Bird/Kobe get a pass for rarely guarding opposing stars..we already have this problem when ranking Duncan, Olajuwon and even Kareem/Wilt, hopefully Lebron will change that if he wins again..
Pretty sure Akeem and Tim gets tons of credits for playing on both ends of the court. Truth is and I don't necessarily agree with it, is that rings and FMVP's brings a lot of weight in this type of conversation.
Agreed. LOsing to Magic especially with how little Dwight has done since ... is also shaky but agree on everything else. in fact he has exceed expectations as a player every year as has his teams more times than not.
