That's what passes for clowning him these days? :-)
The point (that LeBron very rarely was ever on the best team in the league during his career) is a valid one. If you care about context that is. [Reply]
Lebron sucking so bad as the favorite in the 2011 finals that the Heat weren't the favorite in 2012 isn't actually a testament to his greatness. Jordan always being the favorite in the finals has to do with him always winning (easily) in the finals.
In fact. It is worth noting that LeBron was the favorite at the beginning of the season, multiple times... and then wasn't the favorite by the finals. How many times were the Bulls the favorite at the beginning of the season and didn't win?
Sure thing buddy, MJ was actually on the decline when he won 6 championships. Absolutely amazing shit that only increases his legend actually.
Imagine if he didn't have to do it all by himself in the 80s? He'd have 9-10 easily.
MJ's two best seasons by VORP in his entire career ended with his team getting shit kicked out of the playoffs by the Pistons. I wonder why that was. [Reply]

Can you imagine how many titles mid-20s physical prime LeBron would have racked up if he didn't waste that time on a garbage team where Mo Williams was his best #2?

Things to ponder.
Well we do know for a fact he'd have 5 if he simply did what MJ did and win all of the ones he was favored in.
