why do people on here think losing in the finals

[Im Still Ballin]

Lebron's already arguably top 5

Undeniably no question top 8

The general consensus has him flowing around 3-8

I have him as second best overall player who ever played. He can do everything on the basketball court, no weaknesses in his game.

Is worse than not making the playoffs or losing in the rounds that proceeds it?

Making the finals usually means you can compete with the other conference's counterpart.
You should not lose once you make it that far. Obviously '14, '12, '07, '01-'04, etc showed that it's not the case. Teams seriously got ousted.

I dont think so. Lebron is a poor man's Magic Johnson. Magic is around 3-5 overall, and Lebron should be borderline top 10 since hes clearly below Magic.

It's not all about rings...

Yes it is though. It's the difference between a win and a loss.

You don't get to have 'GOAT' title but having a shit ton of failures next to your name... worse yet, LeBrons* failed more often than succeeded.

Jump shot comes to mind. That cost him a ring.

It's a team sport. You can still be the best player but if the other team you are competing against is better you are not going to win. 07 Spurs had better team 14 Spurs had better team last year Irving and love were hurt so warriors had better team

11 is the only year he should have won but played poorly in the finals.

Lebron has had a better career then magic

[Im Still Ballin]

Nope

Lebron is top 8 without question

No debate

ESPN and SI both have him top 5

The general consensus is locked in

Top 8 CONFIRMED

There's only more to climb from here

[Prime_Shaq]

At the end of the day people will remember how much you win and not how much you lose.

They'll remember if you lost more than you won.

Sorry I don't recall Kobe getting any props for making it to the finals in 2008.

[Gileraracer]

It is not, but it shows that Lebron is a career looser
