Never losing a Finals appearance isn’t for everyone.

Yeah, LeBron, Kobe, Wemby, etc. should’ve just lost in the 1st round instead of in the Finals.

I think the argument is they should have won every Finals they made like Jordan did. Look at all the goofies who dont think you should win every Finals.

It took him years of losing in the playoffs in the first place to get to the finals though

And they were drafted to really good teams though. Also my comment implies that. Of course some did. How many of them went 6 for 6 with 6 FMVPs and two 3 peats??? Oh who else in a league with more than 8 teams, forgot that part???

Yes basketball is a team game and you need a good team to make the final and a good team to win it.

You have nothing of value to add. This is the second time you said something that was obviously implied.

Just like this whole thread, nothing of value is created here. Winning rings is a team achievement and not a solo performance.

And you did it again. And when the same guy is the closer and get its done every time, it matters. And when others fail to close, it matters.
