    That many conference championships puts him in elite company. He has played in more championship games than Larry Bird or Kobe Bryant.

    I'm sure Larry Bird would have rather been 3-5 than 3-2 in finals games. Conference championships are an accomplishment in and of themselves.

    It reminds me of people bashing Elway because he lost 3 Super Bowls while over looking the fact that 5 conference championships for a QB is a rare feat.

    Lebron is the GOAT. How about that dunk while Durant whacked him across the head last night?

    Rumors are LeBron will play 1 more season in Cleveland and then bolt to the Lakers to form a Super Team with Paul George.

    I tend to ignore any comparison between two individual players that involves their finals records. So many more variables go into that than each player's individual play. So no, the 3-5 record does not change my opinion of him.

    You now live in New England so you will assimilate and learn to hate him.

    Lebron is more like Magic than MJ. And he's better than Magic. But not Jordan.

    Now that Wave is a New Englander he has to understand he is part of the best and most important of everything. We are the best sports fans, we have the best sports teams, we have the most important storms, we have the best clam chowder, we have the best Hollywood stars, comedians and musicians...etc. etc. etc.

    Once he understands that he will fit in just fine.

    One of LeBron"s many lasting legacies is going to be the absurd thing Golden State had to build to end him.

    Had to build? The core of Golden State was drafted. They picked up a stud FA finally and everyone loses their shit.

    They drafted three uber-talented players and got lucky in the second round with Green. They signed a Team USA player in Igoudala and an all-world player in Durant while getting league minimum or low-salary contributions from Livingston, West and Pachulia.

    They had to build that team to beat LeBron James, and it was specifically designed to do so.

    Igoudala was not a hot commodity before the Warriors got him. Out of all the FAs they could have picked they went low budget and he was signed primarily to play off the bench. Which is what he still does best. I love his defense but he wasn't the difference maker for the core of the team.

    And GS team wasn't designed to just beat Lebron. It's designed to murk the whole NBA.

    He was Denver's best player when they were a playoff team.
