Yeah, he wouldn't be top 10 if he lost this year..He'd be about 12 right behind Dr. J and West and one or two spots ahead of Kobe..
Great player no doubt but he's now 1-3 in the Finals. No other NBA player I believe has a worst Finals record, that's a 25% winning record, putting him on par with the Washington Bullets/Wizards franchise who are also 1 out of 3 in 4 NBA Finals appearances.
His Finals numbers during these 3 trips have been aweful with the exception of 2012 where he was just amazing all around. 2013 is TBD but so far nothing in this postseason screams GOAT and I don't expect this to change when he faces the Spurs. Actually, his playoff numbers are all down compared to his regular season numbers. Minutes are up, yet raw numbers are down across the board, shooting efficiency is down, and turnovers are up.
Its still good, but for MVP caliber players, the expectations is they need to raise the bar higher in the postseason. All the great ones did anyway (Jordan, Shaq, Olajuwon, Duncan to name a few)
This season will play a large role in Lebron's legacy IMO. Going down in the Finals again will put a tough stain in his career. 5 years from now, people wouldn't care he was young in 2007 (afterall, the Cavs did beat the Pistons en route to the Finals). They will look at the grand scheme of things and that's 1-3.
I initially had Lebron in top 10 list, but I don't know anymore. I can't put a guy who puts up 66 wins, MVP seasons, that amounts to nothing in that list tbh.

I had Kobe at 10 but placed Lebron 2 spots ahead of him after another regular season MVP year highlighted by thay 27 win streak. I think Lebron falls back to 12 with Olajuwon reclaiming that 9th and Kobe 10th. Lebron is now a spot below Moses Malone after another embarassing year courtesy of the Super friends.
Lebron has made it to 4 finals so far? Why do people act like loosing in the finals is worse than not even making it?
No you ing copy pasting idiot,he's 1/3,which makes it a 33.3% winning percentage.
Is that even a serious question?
Actually, It's 1 win in 4 appearances. so I'm right, 1/4-250%. for some reason I didn't count the 2007 Cavs earlier
Which 4 appearances?
So Lebron's been in the finals 4 times?? When ?Actually, It's 1 win in 4 appearances. so I'm right, 1/4-250%. for some reason I didn't count the 2007 Cavs earlier
OP is pretending like they made the Finals and lost allredy..
its his way of being clever.,
Those maths tbh...
Indiana is not winning Game 7.
Just admit you're a copy pasting got that saw the "1-3" being thrown out in a thread yesterday (can't remember which one),tried to be smart and failed.It happens.
I actually said that before anyone else and someone picked up on that
Cool thing to be proud of,tbh..
Obviously not as cool as spelling tough with tuff
Seriously? https://twitter.com/realtuffjuice
Dude, dont take it seriously. I honestly dont care about someone's twitter and using Butlers twitter just made it worse. Lets just proceed. 1 out of 4 is just bad. I just want to see what Lebron's minions think of this, seems everyone of y'all are already putting him already at Top 3.
Kinda weird a Mavs fan still being a huge Caron Butler fan since he was only there a little while and that team really only soared in 11 when he went down with an injury..
Spurs will lose from pacers and heat in the finals but you are right about this one
Is this prediction like when you predicted the Heat were gonna win game 6 in a walk?..
Its just an observation. Miami and their small ball is not built to beat teams with a strong post presence something the Spurs and Indiana are good at. If they're having issues with Hibbert, how else are they going to control Duncan and Splitter? Splitter was amazing in containing Randolph, I can see both him and Duncan limiting Bosh as well.
The Spurs are similar to Indiana except they are far better offensively.
Pops gonna try to play bonner tho..Splitter will probably get as many minutes as Matty B tbh..Pop really loves the ginger for some reason
True. Eittherway, I believe the Spurs overall length will be too much for the Heat.
And I take that back, Indiana is not similar to San Antonio. San Antonio is a different beast altogether and all season out. Pacers are a 49 win team in the East ffs, Spurs will annihilate Miami.
1win in 4 trips guys.
Son I joined ST when Butler was still in the team and I really liked the dude,what's the reason to change my account now that he's gone? Plus I disagree with your point,Mavs were 24-5 before Dirk and Butler went down so it's not like he was addition by subtraction,we just made it despite his absence.
