he's currently 8-5 against LeBron in finals games
hole was split three different ways. Shaq dominated him head to head. Kobe dominated him head to head. And once Lebron rings again he's going to have his slice as well. So... the way I sum this up is Jim never could dominate top level compe ion. Sure... he was better than Dirk, KG, and Nash... which was great compe ion, but when it came to going up against all-time greats hE his pants the majority of the time. Basically... he's the Jerry West of his era... always the sentimental favorite, but rarely coming through against top level compe ion. DON'T SHOOT THE MESSENGER!!! It is what it is, guys.

LeBron goes to top 8 with this 3-peat, Tim falls to fringe top 12-14, tbh.
He's in rare company if he accomplishes this. Mikan, Russel, MJ, Shaq, and Kobe are the only great players to accomplish this feat. It's much harder to do it today than in years past due to guys not being loyal to their teams. Props to Lebron if he does pull this off. Right now my top ten list for legacy goes...
Russell
Kareem
MJ
Magic
Kobe
Shaq
Duncan
Bird
Thomas
Hakeem
If Lebron three peats I bump Hakeem and keep Thomas because he beat Bird, owned Jordan and beat Magic. I'll slide Lebron right in there behind Shaq. I think it's safe that Duncan remains a top 10 legacy, but as far as a top 10 player... his numbers just don't cut it for me. We all know I've been the biggest Lebron hater from day one, but once you start ringing I shut the up. He's in a position to crack top three if he keeps a solid core around him.

why does lebron's winning/losing affect how you rank hakeem and thomas? if you intend to drop hakeem and keep thomas, then you should them ranked accordingly right now
Definitely harder to do in todays NBA where the road to the Finals consists of Bobcats, Wizards & Pacers
I should have Zeke ahead of Hakeem.
According to most Spurs fans and NBA analysts... the Spurs have been the most consistent team in the last 15 years. They have kept their core together longer than most teams in history... and have future HOF'er players, yet they have never defended their le. Because you've never done it you truly don't know how hard it is.
tell me more about how you defended those laker les, narutofan
Don't hold your breathe while watching this... this is epic!!! Check out the soundtrack.
Even though I dont agree with lakaluva's opinions, it always gives me a good chuckle
true tbh
Kobe doesn't even sniff the top 10, naruto .
troof bombs

He's number 4 all time in scoring. He's number 3 all time in playoff scoring. Two back to backs and a three peat... 7 finals appearances. I't going to be hard to top what that did.
Who won more series? Yeah... that's what I thought. Shaq has a back2back and a threepeat going right up the middle of Jim's ass.
he doesn't have the worst shot attempt/assist ratio
Thread, I see you lurking you chicken , you.
Are you implying Kirby is a volume shooter?
