[brooks_thompson]

Nothing gets chocolate out...see?

First round exits

this.

[RealSkipBayless]

Quitting out the league in order to duck a certain matchup.

[Nike D'Antoni]

You first name is Lebron and last name James.

[G0ATbe]

Beating solely on taxi drivers, lemonade stand cashiers and mail men in expansion eras

[FKAri]

Allowing your personal disputes to result in the death of you father.

['Toine=MVP]

First round exits

If the team is expected to make finals, it would be bad. Still not the worst thing.

[highwhey]

winning 6 titles with YMCA level competition and thinking you're the GOAT

[SouBeachTalents]

Achieving literally zero playoff success without your HOF teammate, while he was out winning 55 games and nearly making the Finals without you

[Vino24]

1st round exits. Okay so you were good enough to get to the playoffs but not even win a damn series? :wtf:

[Doomsday Dallas]

changing teams to stack up with others


+1

[LAmbruh]

worst type of stains are brick stains

[knicksman]

cheating aka teamhopping

[Uncle Drew]

Going 1-9
Being unable to win without Pippen
Getting your father killed

Is Dad Killer even top 10?

[sdot_thadon]

Clearly never winning a championship is the worst, ask those guys who we know are great but never won......

[ImKobe]

Losing 3 years in a row with HCA...all-time worst Finals choke (2011), losing 6 Finals. Roids.

[bullettooth]

6 Finals Losses

[AirBonner]

1st round exits. Okay so you were good enough to get to the playoffs but not even win a damn series? :wtf:
Bingo

[Mr Exlax]

Rosters. I have seen more than one occasion where the best player on the court loses to a better overall team.

[Trollsmasher]

having a career losing record without a TOP 30 ATG in the lineup

[SamuraiSWISH]

Achieving literally zero playoff success without your HOF teammate, while he was out winning 55 games and nearly making the Finals without you
You mean like getting to the Semis with that HOF player averaging a whopping 10 ppg? :eek:

Or getting to the Conference Finals with that HOF player averaging 13 ppg? :eek:

:lol

And if second round is nearly the Finals. That

[baudkarma]

Coming up small in crucial playoff games. I can see it happening once, but when it's two, three, four times, it's a problem.

[AlphaWolf24]

Leaving a 63 win team with back to back best records in the NBA and HCA in the playoffs

To join another superstars team and adding another top 10 player in the league to form the most stacked team of all time

Then in the same year to put put up the biggest choke job in the history of the NBA

[FireDavidKahn]

Having a voracious whore pick your teammate over you when you were trying to hit it.

Being suspended from the league for killing your father.

Losing to a midget banker one on one.

First round exists.

Having your team win 55 games without you instead of being a lottery team.

Actually, Madonna moved on to Pippen after MJ dumped her - it's always easier to whip the 2nd option..





First round exists.


losing with the worst possible odds (8 vs 1) is the only way the goat is supposed to lose...

otoh,

non-goats lose with great odds/high seeds (Lebron lost 6 times with a 1 or 2 seed compared to zero for MJ), or as the favorite (Lebron lost 3 times as the favorite compared to zero for MJ)





Having your team win 55 games without you instead of being a lottery team.


Building a system that can win 55 without you is bad?

it's GOAT - every player should seek a skillset that allows elite personal stats while role players are playing to capacity (system), aka goat team ceiling..

any other objective is stat-padding... :confusedshrug:

[Jasper]

rapes


:kobe:

[PickernRoller]

Super-teaming then chokes closely after that.

[superduper]

Running away to multiple superteams and still only going 3/9.

[ZenMaster7210]

Losing finals
Missing free throws at end of game
