kobe fans worst nightmare come true? nah. its a duncan/lebron fans worst nightmare

[r15mohd]

Magic Johnson has lost 4 times in the finals......His career is probably a failure ....

They'll never admit to this...you'll be bashed, I'm sure

[ILLsmak]

one of them has to lose though


one of duncan or lebron will be ruining their careers

the negatives for one of them outweigh the positives for both no matter the outcome

either duncans known as a failure

or lebrons known as a failure

that bold now.

u scarin me bro.

Enroll Kobe in AARP

its all about having a winning record in the finals


magic is 5 for 9

if he was 4 for 9 he'd be a failure more often than a success


its a huge difference


and 2 for 5 is 1000000000000 times worse..

thats some wilt like choking

[LeBron 06]

its all about having a winning record in the finals


magic is 5 for 9

if he was 4 for 9 he'd be a failure more often than a success

and 2 for 5 is 1000000000000 times worse..

thats some wilt like choking

so 2-0(2 rings) > 4-5(4 rings)?

Yes 4 for 9 is worse than 5 for 9 but 5 for 12 isn't necessarily worse than 5 for 9.

hire a coach that knows the triangle.

trade the draft pick to get a star player beside kobe now

sign the best available FA and pau gasol. split the cap down the middle for them both.

dump nashes contract to get more money to keep gasol

[chris02jammers]

hahahaha

[LeBron 06]

For me 4-2 > 4-0,since 6 finals appearance is better than 4

[BasedTom]

This damage control is pathetic

And if Lebron wins, how is he 2/5? He'd be 3/5. Don't they teach math on the Worst Coast?

It's called a 3peat because you have to win it 3 times in a row, shithead.

Yes 4 for 9 is worse than 5 for 9 but 5 for 12 isn't necessarily worse than 5 for 9.

are you dumb?

the whole point of competition and professional sports is to win more often than you lose. if a guy is in the finals 12 times then he fails when hes expected to succeed

one might say... well but he made it to the finals... well if he made it there it means he has a great team. and if every time you reach a point where you're finally facing a comparable team and you fail. then you cant get the job done when you should.


having a great team and always losing with it is allllllllllllot worse than having a poor team and losing with it.

if a guy loses for 11 years on a crap franchise. then finally gets help and wins 1 time in the 12th year. itel show all he needed was the right pieces


but if a guy is on a great franchise and is in the finals 11 years. always losing. but flukes 1 title... its not nearly as good as a guy going 1 for 1 in the finals


why the f*ck do you think jordan is so untouchable with 6 for 6


people always bring up his undefeated finals resume


its one of the major factors for putting him #1 all time in most peoples eyes



anyone trying to defend a guy for having a losing finals record has absolutely no understanding or concept for nba historical rankings or common sense for that matter

[LeBron 06]

The reality is that Duncan is already better than Kobe, no matter what happens in the finals and it will be the case for LeBron too,when it career will be over

How do you feel about Jerry West?

What are your personal rankings for the top 5 SGs of all time?

Making the finals and losing is worse than not making the playoffs? lol

Jordan being 6 for 6 really isn't a factor for me when ranking him.

So if Tim Duncan wins and goes 5 for 6 will you admit he's better than 5 for 7 Kobe?

you're the f*cking sh*t head... this entire thread is about what happens to the loser. not the winner numb nuts
