Why is 2/5 an insult?

[ISHGoat]

Its like saying if you got 2 golds and 3 silvers is a bad thing.

Nothing wrong with being 2/5, unless your stans are constantly trying to promote you as GOAT.

Only retards think he is better than jordan, but he will have a case for top 3 - 5 depending on his play this year.

[G0ATbe]

Except you dont get silver medals for getting curbstomped in the finals over and over again.

2/5 is a losing record, meaning he gets owned and outperformed on the biggest stage more often than not. Not that hard to comprehend

yes but he also got to the biggest stage slightly half of his years in the league. I mean this isnt the russell era 8 team league of short white guys.

[Mr. Jabbar]

its not an insult, its a joke

[IllegalD]

ISH never ceases to amaze me.

I would love know when "just making it to the finals" all of a sudden became a huge achievement.

Funny, I didn't hear such nonsense when Kobe made 7 finals. All I heard about was about the 2 he lost and how "he can never be GOAT because of it".

If LeBron is supposed to be that much better than Kobe, why wouldn't the same logic apply to him...?

[DFish24]

Cause his stans contanstly tout him as a GOAT candidate, yet he can't even achieve a winning finals record all while stacking the deck.

Getting to the finals out East is just as impressive as making the playoffs out West tbh.

Does it count as getting owned if you are not the favourite going into the finals?

This. 2/5 is great for most players, but not so much when you are pushing him as a top 5 player of all time.

[ISHGoat]

Does it count as getting owned if you are not the favourite going into the finals?

it should count when you are a big reason your team lost, so kobe in 04 and lebron in 11. But the other times, like in 08 for kobe, and 07,14 for lebron, you cant really hold it against them.

Paul pierce went to 2 finals and won 1 of them, you think he rather only win 1 finals and lost in the second round in the other?

[edrick]

It's not an insult. Some of the brilliant minds of ISH consider losing in the second round to be better than making it to the Finals. That's the kind of intelligence we're working with here at ISH, folks.

If you think making the finals has not been generally considered a great achievement you started watching ball in the internet age. Deep into it.

Like...2010.

Do people forget how Pau Gasol come to the Lakers...

What about the Dwight, Kobe and Nash Lakers attempt?

Chris Paul?

Malone and Payton Lakers attempt?

The Lakers franchise try to stack the deck every year almost.
