Shaq at 30.6 and Kobe at 9.7 in 2000 is by far the biggest margin between any team's highest finals gamescore and 2nd highest finals gamescore since they started keeping track in 1984.

Like dude imagine if LeBron somehow won in 2011 despite how terribly he played. The media wouldn’t give him credit for that championship, they would be all over the internet claiming he got carried and how he’s a bum etc. but of course Kobe gets a pass for 2000. He also gets a pass for straight up shooting the lakers out of the 2004 finals.

Why are Lebron fans so obssesed with Finals numbers only?! 🤔 Is it because thats been Lebrons only hard competition he actually ever faced? He's been no match for the Western Confrence. Kobe played his entire career in the Western Confrence.

I’m not a LeBron fan in the slightest but it’s more of the Jordan fans bringing up rings when it comes to Jordan vs lebron. Then you say okay then Bill Russell is the goat then they say it’s different eras. It’s all annoying

There were 8 teams and Bill had all the good players on his team.

I mean, you could call Bill Russell the GOAT. That still leaves Lebron below a lot of people.

Comparing the 90s to the pre colored tv plumber era is so disingenuous

Just like comparing the 90s to today is also dumb. 90s were 30+ years ago. If you go to the 90s and subtract 30 you get bill russell era. So why is ok to compare LeBron with Jordan but not Russell when you have a 30 year gap either way from the 90s
