yes they are team accomplishments
lebron is an awful teammate though
this is reflected in his teams' poor performances
2/6 is not a troll this is a real thing...
LeBron's 2/6 is mostly a reflection of how easy the East has been. It is easy to get to the Finals, but hard to beat the best West teams.
[QUOTE=SouBeachTalents]They are team accomplishments, but there are instances you can definitely provide most of the credit or blame to an individual, like Hakeem in '94, Duncan in '03, or LeBron in '11[/QUOTE]
Sure. But it doesn't define the individual as a whole.
What I'm saying is the final winning percentage shouldn't be the benchmark of a player's career. The fact is most overvalue that particular TEAM accomplishment when comparing players.

Well the idea that losing in the first round or missing the playoffs is better than making the Finals is literally one of the dumbest arguments I've ever heard, and it makes absolutely no sense
I've been saying this forever...but these idiots want to use team accomplishments to prop up their favorite players like they were playing 1 on 12.
