    Default What does a Game 7 win/loss mean for Lebron or Steph's legacy?

    Does either move up with a win (Bron's already considered by many to be in the top 10 range, but where is Steph)?

    Does a loss knock either one down?

    Does how either plays in Game 7 matter (going down swinging or winning but not dominating)?

    And does GS winning make them the GOAT team, or does losing make them the WOAT team?

    Does winning propel the Cavs to the ranks of the all time great teams?

    Steph is not really great enough to have a 'legacy'



    That's like asking, what does Game 7 mean for Kevin Love's legacy?




    But if LeBron wins and beats a 73 win team while down 3-1 with 0 all star teammates while averaging 30/11/9 he is easily a better player than Jordan no debate

    LeBron
    Kareem
    Magic
    Russell
    Jordan

    Curry's legacy is GOAT shooter, and that won't change with a win or a loss. He's really too 1 dimensional to become a top 10 player all time.

    people have different ratings for different players.

    I hold the double team switch against LBJ, i hold rigged game 5 against him, i hold rigged game 6, and game 7 doesnt matter anymore because they got a massive fake boost of morale from the refs and now Bogut is injured from an unneccessary dragged out series.

    LBJ and Irving live off momentum and this was handed to them by the nba.

    The most expensive team in the league beating another team in the finals impresses no one.

    Steph already broke the finals record for most 3s made in a final series while playing like pretty much garbage for most of the finals. He has already solidified hid legacy as the GOAT shooter.

    OTOH, the entirety of Warriors success the last 2 years has been how they have performed as a TEAM. Not the brilliance of Curry and as such their failures have come at the expense of the team as well.

    LeBron's legacy will definitely skyrocket if he wins, coming back from a 1-3 deficit against the greatest regular season team of all-time and breaking the Cleaveland Curse. He would be Top 5 player all-time.

    Warriors got the same "rigged" Bs ur talking about against okc down 3-1. Dray should've been suspended for kicking Adams in the balls. It should be an okc vs cavs finals right now.
    The finals were handed to the warriors by the NBA.

    Shit, forgot about that. Cleveland sports fans might put him above Jim Brown all time if he brings the trophy to Lake Erie.

    He kicked Adams in the balls in G3, he should've been suspended in G4 which Warriors ultimately lost anyway.

    Lebron will probably go down swinging in Game 7 - so we can expect the volume to be there, which means a lot of jumpshots

    so it comes down to Lebron's jumper.

    That's why Jordan was far better in big games.

    Elimination game stats tell us otherwise. Bron was the better big game player.

    Christ... After all the drama from Cleveland this season... Just imagine the storyline if the Cavs win.

    -Beating a 73 win team
    -Coming back down 3-1 in the finals
    -Winning a finals game 7 on the road

    If this is a close game, I might have a heart attack
